MACDONALD MAY BE GREATEST

British Premier. Apparently ColorIess Quiet, Lack
ing Virid Qualities Of Predecessors, Stands
:. Firmly by Principles He Believes Best.

was to feel that this amazing and
facile personality had already alb
sorbed you to his purpose. To be
merely in the presence of Lord Bal
four was TO he instantly impressed
with the infinite grace of phrase and
charm OF manner, the something
which suggests station. manner. the
background OF which are his. AS for
Stanley Baldwin, his was the appeal
of the English public school, per-
haps almost at its best. the combina-
tion of good looks, physical fitness
and the touch which material success
adds
Now. when you attempt to set down
your Impressions of Macdonald, you
realize he has neither the distinction
of manner of Balfour nor the almost
indescribable ability of Lloyd George
and nothing of the simpler charm of
Baldwin. He is, on first view, no
more than a man of medium height,
rapidly graying hair, deep-set eyes
and strongly lined features, one of
whom you would say. Scotch" as far
as you could see him. Save that bis
eyes occasionally light up with a GER
tain flash as he speaks, he is i'm
passive, just as his tone is without
emphasis and his phrase without en-
bellishment
Impression of Sadness.
Perhaps the dominating impression,
after all, is one of sadness, not mere
ly or mainly personal. but rather the
sadness which comes with a long life
in close touch: first, perhaps. with his
own privations and early struggles.
Evening star., 1924-04-10

There is labor. government because
there is Ramsay Macdonald You arc
told that he commands obedience,
holds affection. that he has an au-
ers OF other parties-and yet out
wardly there Is not q sign of the in
things.
Moreover. II the man has made his
own career painfully, he has never
hesitated to rain it reckIessly. A
quarter of century ago he flung
himself against the Hood tide of ma
ttonal patriotic sentiment stirred by
the Boer war. His opposition to the
world war not only led to social os-
tracism and political exile, but were
also occasions when the police had
to intervene to protect his safety and
at least once when Intervention did
not save him from physical violence
at the hands of enraged Australian
soldiers.
Fought hadicaI Thought.
But having fought the war, no
sooner had the struggle ended than
he flung himself into the battle
against the radicalism coming from
Moscow. With the same courage
which moved him to fight the ex-
treme yioS<ice of the patriotic pas
sion of his political opponents, he
challenged, fought, defeated the ex-
tremists OF his own labor group. He
was equally the foe Of Sir. Edward
Grey and OF Lenin.
In the end there is about the man
and about hts career the same cir
cumstance; his personality is invar-
iably buried in the cause. He is not
interested in himself. he is not even
concerned with his career. OF what
he has to do he will talk with simple.
direct straightforwardness, with in
finite reserve of words, but absolutely
no concealment of thought. When
he has finished you know what he
thinks. but-you have no clear pic
ture OF him.
Unmistakably Macdonald has what
the British call "characte the thing
they like best that their public men
should have; but this character is not

and later with the sufferings and the
follfes of the men and the hhAtrs In
which he has deliberately cast his
life and made his life work. There Is
and, on the whole. hardly moro OF the
suggestion of the public man.
To interview a man like the late
Col. Roosevelt, like Mr.. Wilson. like
Lloyd George; is to feel almost In
stantly something OF the reason for
the success OF each. Each In his way
would help you. help the camera, As
1t were. to do Its duty. Each OF them
was quite as anxious that his per-
sonality should be felt as the inter-
there is no help from Macdonald. The
man will discuss those questions on
which he is willing to speak at all
with simple, direct frankness, with
out phrases. without any art of the
orator or of the public man accus-
toned to be interviewed.
Personality Elusive.
But with all the frankness you feel
that the personality eludes you, or
perhaps, an even odder circumstances,
that the man is not even interested
either in his personality or much in
himself
More than any British public man.
save perhaps Disraeli, Macdonald has
surmounted obstacles and broken
down barriers TO reach the position
which he now holds. He Is as we
Americans say, a self made man par
excellence. but there is about him
nothing to suggest the fact, much
less to suggest pride in the achieve
ment. You would say that in success
he Is no different from what he has
been in the remoter days when he
came TO London to make an exceed
ingly precarious living with a not too
faclie pen.
You know that at the moment he is
the leader of the most astonishing
army of i'll assoretd idealists, intel.
lectuals. labor agitators, Missionaries
and trades unionists which was ever
collected under one banner; that he
not only dominates them, but that
should any accident remove him the
whole force would fly into pieces

one thing but many. composite
thing, perhaps expressed in the no.
tion that a man should first inspire
confidence and then justify the con-
public man may be stupid. even-and
Macdonald is certainly not that-ne
may be slow, he may lack all the out
ward graces of lesser men, ana yet
succeed with the British people be-
yond all of his associates and pc
rivals arc supported in success
Impresses as Fighter.
From an interview with Macdonald
you carry away the impression that
in foreign relations there will be no
quarrel over unessentials, that no
matter of personal pride, no hunger
for personal triumph. will control or
influence him, that he will yield any
thing and everything where surrender
does not mean sacrifice of any part
Of principle, but that when the issue
Is really drawn, he will fight to the
end doggedly, unyielding. And so at
lease you come to the sense that the
man is before all a fighter. visionary
with Scotch background and a hard.
with all the human training the late
President lacked.
Already, almost by magic, he has
swept away all the petty jealousies
and personalities which cluttered up
Franco British relations under Cur
zon: he has rejected definitely all the
tricks and clever devices Of Lloyd
George. One day he will meet M;
Poincare In the discussion of the real
underlying problems of Europe. Even
on that day / am sure NJ. Poincare
can have the outward semblance OF
victory; but over the question of the
real settlement, if he takes a diver
gent view, NJ. Poincare will find the
strongest opponent England has yet
sent to France, strong because In
his strength there is nothing personal
no fear of a lost majority, of de-
parted popularity.

BY FRANK II. SIMONDs.

LONDON, March l5.-During my
three-wekk stay in London I had
the Soodi fortune to meet the new
British prime minister on three very
different occa sions. First. at a so
sial reception the night before he
met parliament, where he was sur.
rounded by practically all of his new
cabinet and party followers; second,
when hot received me in the prime
lninisterf room in the house of COM
mons and gave me a formal inter
view, and finally at his official resi-
dence, inl Downing street, the night
before ] 1eft England. when a debate
In the house, the great debate over
Arthur 1ienderson's indiscreet cleo
tion Speelch, prevented his coming to
n dinnerS with a mutual friend.
From these three meetings, under
very difkrent circumstances what
IMPRESSION detaches itself? First of
all, therd is the almost unique fact
about MI. Macdonald-the fact dis
closed bE every portrait--he does
not phott ttograph, and by the same
token ha does not easily describe.
Contrast | him with his immediate
predecessors and you realize that
while eaclh Of them had salient cir
cumstancies details which might be
seized uRon and emphasized to give
clue alike TO physical appearance
and persP Pnality, Macdonald is sin
gularly dfvoid of such details
To shake hands with Lloyd George

in the press and on the floor of the
house of commons, viscount Curzon
strove for diplomatic success of the
good old-fashioned order. Macdonald
wants settlement, he wants peace,
he wants an end of suffeing. misery
and menace at home and abroad. He
VIII sacrifice himself at that end. but
he will sacrifice nothing that he holds
essential TO solution
Moreover, strange as it may seem,
even the severest Tory critics agree,
Evening star., 1924-04-10

not ungenerously, that this man, dis
credited pacifist at this time nine
years ago, may yet be the greatest
foreign minister Britain has known
in recent times. But as l have said
as perhaps unwiIlingly I have proved
the real man is within himself. the
camera does not catch him, the inter
view does not reveal him. And am
sure that Mussolini would not under
stand either its war or it's method.
