By OSCAR LEIDING


 LONDON, April 19.--America will find in the Ramsay Macdonald of 1883 man different from the one it knew in 1929.
 Compressed into a thimble, the change may be summarized by two descriptive adjectives-grayer and greater.
 Yet, piercing the physical exter- for and forgetting the multitude of world and British events that have galloped helter-skelter across the scene, deep down the Mcdonald of old will be found
 Old Enthusiasms Survive He possesses all his old ideals and all his enthusiasms. They be- long to the Macdonald of 1883 as they did to the Macdonald of 1929. Only, here is the difference: they have been brought into sharper re- lief by the turn of events.
 In the three years and more that have passed since Britain's prime minister sat on log with Presi- dent Hoover alongside the Rapidan, / he has developed mentally a new bigness.
 One of his associates describes the change thus: Macdonald has definitely become the great states man as distinct from the great politician
 Holds Coed Will Ideal
 In his talks with President Roosevelt and other American lead CTS, it is believed here he will find a real opportunity for furthering what has always been matter close to his heart-his belief in good will and cooperation as a great measure to save the world. AS an internationa1ist, J. Ramsey Macdonald has stood on the ground that the interlocking fac tors in world life, partially rem dered necessary by economic de- pendence, make the necessity oi getting together prime policy
 His friends believe that the events of the last three years have produced proof of his view anc that not only is he a man point ing to the remedy but one who, ii anybody is, really is capable of put ting it into effect.
 His belief in cooperation, they say, has made him not only g great national leader but an in- ternational one, with the world idea uppermost in his mind.
 His great principle, they point out, is his belief in the need of mutuality because a nation car only be happy and prosperous il the world is in that state.
 This belief, his friends feel, has caused a great sobering down ot the man America saw in 1929 and changed him from the party leader to an international one.
 They believe that he has been chafing for such action as is rep resented by the American talks for a long time because he had fore seen the need for good will and cooperation.
 ] Developing thus ahead of events he had had to wait for opportun- ity to forward his great dream of bringing world relations to saner days and prosperity.
 Vitality Resists Years l His strength in the promotion of good will and cooperation. his as- sociates believe, lies in his ability and willingness to cut away party and national considerations of the meaner type for the sake of the ideal. That is why some term him the least national of national lead CTS.
 Physically he is believed to have the same vitality that he had three years ago though now, facing his sixty-seventh birthday next Octo- Der, he has grayed considerably.
 His health is described as being as good as can be expected consid- ering the amount of work he does. He is unwilling to stop work or cease reading and one of the great est troubles his doctors had with him last year after his eyes were operated on, was to keep him from using them.
 Gets Early Start
 Walking is a great hobby and it IS his custom as a rule to take a short walk in the park near 10 Downing street before settling down at his desk.
 Even so, he is usually engaged with businesy matters shortly be- fore 8 o'clock each morning. Dur ing the period before his eye oper- ations, when he found himself un- able to sleep, it was his custom to work during the night, and, in times of crisis, he has often made an hour or two or rest suffice.
