RID, or course the phrase 'new man" has
special meaning as they apply it to "Slim Jamie"
SHUTS, for he has been growing world-hgure ior
several years. BY 'new man. they mean new
leader For Dom Paul Krueger's fighting general
Of twenty years ago is being discussed pretty
much all over the world as possible leader OF
that new British empire which SHUTS himself
thus outlines:
"The old prewar British empire is gone, in the
sense of colonies or subordinate nations clustering
around one master nation. The British empire
is developing into real league of nations,
group of partner peoples"
4 SHUTS is looked upon by many, says Sir Philip
Gibbs the noted British correspondent in the
Springfield Republican, as "the new leader Eng
land has been waiting for and the proper success
sor to Lloyd George Says Sir Philip:
"Why not make SHUTS our next prime minister!
Boer educated at Cambridge and against us IN
South Africa is hardly adapted to be prime minis
ter of England, but stranger things have happened
In England" Sir Philip calls SHUTS : man VINO
never looks back for regret or vengeance out al
WAYS forward with free and courageous vision,
and concludes with this statement "There are
men in England today in high places as well as
low who say he is the man we are looking for"
The Evening Uorld of New York argues at
length that the British empire must be trans
formed into an association Of nations and de-
clares SHUTS to be the logical head OF the new
and greater empire. 1uc I'LL ioeoAA oNlSAA~S --o
tor Of Boston says he has always served hign
ideals and served them .sn a way which has ever
inspired strange confidence that he was not
closing his eyes to mistakes where mistakes were
made. and that his devotion was inspired Dy
much larger concept Of things than that involved
in the generally accepted meaning OF the word
patriotism"
ri short practically the entire press Of the
I1nited states has been throwing bouquets to this
Roef farmers boy Of the Weld The concensus OF
oninion seems to4be that he must be given place
among the worlds greatest Living statesmen and
front rank among the leaders Of the British
empire.
