Entire Scope Of Relations Between

English-Speaking Nations Amid
Rustic Surroundings.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.


J. Ramsay Macdonald, prime
minister of Great Britain, with less
than "a hours behind him in Wash
ington, has already demonstrated
he is his own best advocate of the
cause close to his heart-interns-
tional peace.
Welcomed to the National Cap
ital with all the honors which are
usually accorded only to reigning
morarchs, the head of the British
government has made it clear that
he is here seeking the most cordial
relations between the United
States and Britain and that if his
visit advances that cause ne will
go home well satisfied.
There is no thought in his mind, or
in that of President Hoover, that their
conversations shall point the way to
an alliance between the two English
speaking nations in any shape or form.
There is no desire to leave other ma

desire to cement friendly relations be-
tween America and England, and to
wipe away all possibility of misunder-
standings. A better understanding be-
tween the two countries, in Mr.. Mac
Dorald's opinion, can only make for
better relations of all the nations. 1t
is his purpose and that Of President
Hoover to allay cnce and for all the
suspicion which has been voiced else
where that there Is to be any under
standing growing out of their meeting
which may be construed as . threat
to any other nations.
