PREMIER BALDWIN FINDS
 PUBLICITY NEW EXPERIENCE

LONDON, (By MaiD Stanley Baldwin, Britain's new pilot of the Ship of State, has won the admira- tion and good will of all classes by his simple, unostentatious manner and his outstanding popularity among the British and American newspaper men, who have found him approach able and unfailingly courteous. He has none of the aloofness, the sup erior manner or severe pride of po- sition which one is apt to associate with prime ministers.
 The journalists fondness for the premier is reciprocated by MT. Bald win, for he realizes that his sudden rise to fame is due in no small mea- sure to the sympathetic attitude adopted by them toward him.
 At recent banquet given by the British newspaper men in his honor, Mir Baldwin said: T am conscious more than ever how the creation of reputation really is your prero- ga:ive and your prerogative alone. Whatever reputation I may have today I beg to thank you for it from the bottom of my heart"
 The prime minister referred to some of the remarkable qualities attributed by the American and British newspapers to him, which he said it was impossible to live up to.
 'I have noticed in my brief ca- reer in public life" he said. that some men like the limeligh. and some do not. I have always found that wherever the limehght is bright est there is always a corresponding black shadow close to it, and l have hitherto been able to sep into that shadow whenever the limelight was turned on. But I find now that I cannot escape it. I feel very much like a small insect under a miscro- scope. Everything that I do or think or say is laid bare.
 'I notice lately that certain per severing papers have succeeded in dragging from obscurity my fathers coachman and my old nurse. am thankful to say that the revelations they have succeeded in dragging from them are such as not to blast my career yet. I have read the most amazing things about myself, pro- ficiency in arts to which I have never aspired. and ignorance of some things of which I thought I had some knowledge The unkindest cut of all was in the Nation, where someone said my schoolmaster told me I had no brains.'' .....*

In an editorial article appearing
in this week s issue, the American

area. However, the article calls
attention TO the reclamation work

of the reclamation projects, as
proof that the westerner is prepar-
ing to receive and make room for
{, population that will bring the
