Even President Expresses
Satisfaction At Appoint
ment Of Baldwin
WASHINGTON BUREAU !
THE AGE-HERALD


When Stanley Baldwin was made
Premier of Great Britain. official
Washington was delighted. President
Harding expressed his satisfaction.
Had it been conventional he would
have more fully and more in detail
declared himself.
Baldwin pleased the public men of
the capital last winter when he re-
manned here for some time adjusting
England's debt to the United States
Representative Theodore Burton of
Ohio. one of the United States COM
missioners. declares the new pre-
mier to be honest and direct rather
than willy and ambiguous, and
thus more American than European
in his diplomacy.
Amba ssador George Harvey speaks
in highest terms of Baldwin, and
expresses confidence that as long
as Baldwin is at the head of the
British government. the most ami
cable relations will continue to exis;
between England and the United
States. There will be no friction, he
naming details relating to the
British debt to the United States.
According to observations of at
taches of the state department
Baldwin will prove more In sympa-
thy with the French invasion of the
Rhur than his predecessor. 1t is lndl-
Gated here also that he will pursue
a less bellgerent course respecting
Russia. This indication gives intense
satisfaction to Senator William e
Borah of Idaho. who urges the
United States to follow the lead OF
England in recognizing Russia.
1t is gathered that one of the main
reasons for the popularity of Bald
win with official Washington which
in political sense, is republican
was his statement on returning TO
London from the United States tc
the effect that after one entered the
country depeer than the Atlantic
seaboard he found little sentiment
for American "entanglement" witt
European affairs. He told his people
that domestic rather than foreigf
problems held first place in the con
sideration of the people of tbs
United States.
