LONDON. June 12.-America's real
friendship for Britain, her hospitality,
her enthusiasm for education. her
swarming automobiles and her i'm
proving roads left n vivid impression
on the mind of John Evelyn L..
Wrench, honorary secretary of the
English-speaking union and editor of
the Landmark, the organ Of this So
ciety. who has just been welcomed
back in London.
Britain has her enemies over there
he said. hut l found more friends of
a good understanding between our
countries than ] found in any of my
many previous visits. / am sure the
American people. as whole. have no
intention of interfering with British
internal politics. ] think they realize
that 1t would be as reasonable to eX-
pect Great Britain to recognize the
Irish republic as to expect the United
States to recognize a republic in Long
Island, only with this difference. that
Long Island commands only small
part of the United States strateglcai-
ly. while Ireland dominates England
Scotland and Wales.
Hopes for Unity.
certainly l hope that the British
government will go as far as it pos
sibly can. short of impairing the
strategic unity of the British Isles,
to satisfy the Irish people. l feel that
the Irish should be given control OF
their own customs and that the Two
sections of Ireland should be given
something as closely akin as pos

PROFESSIONALLY the Lowden leaders
are not going to let Leonard Wood
win. If the Illinois governor cannot
be pushed over the majority line. then
the Lowden strength will be thrown,
first to Philander Knox and then to
Gov. Sproul and possibly to former
Justice Hughes. The Lowden mana

SIS If a dark horse is selected by their
meneuvers. that individual being
without organization Will of course
gratefully accept the management OF
the men who made possible his noml :

means distribution of offices and pa
tronage as rule for the victorious
campaign committee.
Lo,vden Managers Hopeful.
But the Lowden managers are not
vet convinced that they cannot win
converts and pass Leonard Wood in
tn next series of ballots. Unless
they do. they must quickly decide
what dark horse they will BRING
forth.
Analyzing the forces and influences
back of Lowden and those back of
Leonard Wood, it looks as II the ola

trolled things in republican conFeh-

take up a dark horse II Wood cannot
be passed and defeated.
The tactics of the old guard were not
always obvious. but the manner IN whlch
the big delegations were divided up SO
as to keep certain strength in reserve
while the bombardment against WOODS
delegates continued was all too obvious.
Again and again the board of strategy
in control of this convention added votes
in an effort to pass Wood without really
attempting to bring Pennsylvania. New
York or Massachusetts into early aHgn-
ment for Lowden. For while the OLD
guard likes Lowden, 1t is not going to
exert itself too far and take too many
risks for him, while dealing with such
crafty managers as those in charge OF
Leonard Woods boom.
still Anybody's Race.
1t is still anybody's race.
Hiram Johnson could cause consider
able damage to the old guard by lining
IN with Leonard Wood. who would like
to acquire those $40 votes pledged to
Johnson. This would give Gen. Wood
403, and if he got that it might be diff
cult for the old guard to hold other dele
gates from flocking to him. Overtures
to Hiram johnson are in progress. He
will not accept Lowden. He is not SO
unfriendly to Wood. but he can name
Philander Knox. his intimate friend. and
go on the ticket with him as Vice Presi-
dent. with a good chance in 1924.
If it is not Lowden or Wood 1t will be
Knox or Sproul.
