Among my impressions of Amer
lea l have deliberately put FIRST the
figure of the Irish-American inter-
viewer, standing on the shore more
symbolic than the Statue Of Liberty.
The Irish interviewer's impor-
tance for the English lay in the fact
of his being an Irishman. but there
was also considerable interest in the
circumstance of his being an inter
viewer.
And as certain wild birds sometimes
wing their way far out TO sea and
are the first signal of the shore. so
the first Americans the traveller
meets are often American interview
ers. and they are generally birds Of
a feather. and they certainly flock
together. In this respect there is a
slight difference in the etiquette of
the craft in the two countries which
was delighted TO discuss with my
fellow-craftsmen.

more attention than the stone grif-
I'm opposite the Law Courts: both

familiar.
But supposing for the sake of ar
gument that anybody did want to
interview me, it is fairly certain
that the fact of one paper publish
ing such an interview would rather
prevent the other papers from do
ing so. The repetition of the same
views of the same individual in two
places would be considered rather
bad journalism: il would have an
air of stolen thunder. not to say
stage thunder.
But in America the fact Of my
landing and lecturing was evide ently

murder or a great fire, or any other
terrible but incurable catastrophe,

might possibly be due to the num-

moment it seemed possible that il
they had all been interviewed re-

have taken place.
But this was only the mood of the
moment. and even as a mood did not
last more than a moment. And
