MEN,N MODEnN--- American Dresses Better Than BritOn

 Workers Break, Too
By WALTER c. PARKES NEA Service Stan Correspondent

NEA Service staff Correspondent
 New York-Sing Yankee Doodle Let the eagle scream. The British are coming-but they are a long way behind the Americans when it comes to being well-dressed, accord ing to Phillips Holmes, popu- lar American star of British films. He offered this apparent heresy when. interviewed in his suite at Essex House upon his arrival here for a va- cation between pictures.
 Americans better dressed than Britishers" sounded like rank trea- son to the tradition of English sar- torial superiority. and bit confus- ing, coming as it did from young man sn1artly turned out in a suit that had London" in every line, However, MT. Holmes softened the blow by explaining that he referred to the average men-Tom, Dick and Harry, who hold down ordinary jobs and constitute ninety per cent of the crowd that lines the curbs when royalty parades to Parliament.
 Calls British. Tailors Best
 "Thc average young man in America is so far ahead of, not only the British, but Europeans in gen. eral, that there's really no compari- son." he said. T think one reason is that American men are taking more interest in being well-dressed, and another one is that American ready-to-wear clothes are so we'll made and carefully styled that they compare favorably with the tailor made product" He pointed out that it is principally public officials and the upper strata of business men who are responsible for the myth that every male inhabitant of the tight little isle is1 a paragon of sar- torial perfection.
 Mir. Holmes thinks that, generally speaking, the better British tailors have, during generations at their trade, acquired secrets of cutting smart lines into a garment that so far have escaped most of their American colleagues. Like many American actors. he buys a good part of his wardrobe from one of the West Ends first-chop tailors. An- other not inconsiderable attraction to an actor, whose wardrobe is part of his working equipment, is the fact that the best British clothes are less expensive than American products of comparable quality. The top price of one of London's most famous firms Is less than hundred dollars, whereas swank American pants-shop will start with a three figure price tag and soar upward. Clothes TypiealIy British

"our plans deal with the immediate
situation as we find it. and lay the
foundation for a Socialist common
wealth"
The party program promised that
the Bank of England would become a
public institution, national invest
ment board would be formed to con-
troll new investments, and national
ownership would be instituted for the
coal, gas and electricity industries.
The Daily Mail criticized the pro-
gram as visionary and dangerous, "
and said 1T appears that the Socialist
ideal is to pull credit and industry to
pieces at home and involve Britain
in any war that breaks out anywhere. "
The News Chronicle disagreed with
the Mails editorial position, declaring
whatever else they may be advocating,
it is assuredly not violent political or
economic change"
The other points in the program
were:
Coordination Of road, rail and air
transportation and coastwise shipping
through formation of national trans
port board which would own and oper-
ate the railways.
Improved wage standards with legis-
lation for shortening working hours.
Re-invigoration of the League of
Nations and steps to remove the eco
nomic causes Of international rivalry.
Substitution of an international air
police force for national air forces.
