7 MIL recently travellers, dis
tinsuished visitors and po-
liticsl emissaries were in the
~ habit Of talking each about
his own particular line of life
and the things about which he was
supposed TO know something. The re-
suit was fearful dullness. 4 director
Of the Bank OF England would give
out an interview about currency, an
actor about the stage and a manufac-
turer about cost plus. AS q conse-
quence every one of them got prosy
and unintelligtble.
It seemed to me that the thing
could best be done in exactly the other
way Let each distinguished visitor
be asked questions about something
that is outside of his own hne OF life.
A vaudeville comedian could give his
impression of French politics and an
English scientist his views Of women's
skirts.
The result would lend a freshness
and charm to interviews on both
sides of the Atlantic.
