tHey nave Deen WIltNH oll youI
books.
AS you know, a rather vehement
discussion is now going on in the
United States. both among citizens
and congressman. concerning the
present and possible future relations
OF our country and yours.
One section OF public opinion looks
with favor upon closer relationship
between the two so-called English
speaking peoples. despite the fact that
although two peoples may use the
same language, very different mean
ings may emerge. To that section thL.
writer has belonged.
Another section Of American public
opinion regards Great Britain as a
Machiavelli, presenting bouquets OF
poison ivy. disguised as tulips. to the
ladies at garden party.
1t may, of course, be a matter OF
complete indifference to his majesty's
government what We Americans think
You could easily write us on, just
as you have written Austria of, with
oSoAACIS q bluA oA tilC NASLldl pages
Of empire. If you did, some of us
would be sorry, because we believe
that far more binds the United States
and Great Britain together than can
possibly separate us.
May Follow England's Example.
But the reverse is also true. The
American people, following your ex-
ample in Austria and elsewhere-an
impelling example. because We believe
that your government is transcend
emily wise in the ways Of diplomacy
may write you of. The question
then would be, not one of closer rap
prochement between the United States
and Great Britain, nor even OF fur
ther discussion of the matter, but OF
who reached the bottle of ink Grad
icator first.
This is the way we look at it: We
remember the attitude of your gov
ernment in Manchuria in 1912
Sir John Simon. your predecessor, full
OF legalisms and dry ice, not only
effectively snubbed Secretary Stimson
but defended Japan before the League
Of Nations with that combination OF
ingenuity and earnestness which made
him the leading member of the English
bar
No vital British interests were in
volved at that time. Japan had been
an old friend and ally of England

DOWNTOWN FIRE
QUICKLY QUELLED
Fireman Cut on Hand as
He Fights Blaze on
New York Avenue.

A spectacular but brief fire broke
out at $50 this morning at 1417 New
York avenue NV, q three-story brick
building occupied by M. S. CHM e.
Co.. stationery firm.
A fireman whose name could not be
learned Immediately was cut on the
hand in fighting the fire and required
treatment at Emergency Hospital.
The blaze, confined to a dumb
waiter shaft. sent heavy clouds of
smoke billowing over the section and
looked 50 dangerous at first that two
alarms were turned in.
Traffic along Fourteenth street and
New York avenue was tied up for
half an hour and thousands Of pedes-
TRANS lined the sidewalks as firemen
threw up extension ladders to pour
water in through the roof.
The fire was discovered shortly after
. salesmen's meeting adjourned on the
third fioor Of the building. An m-
identified man, an employe Of the COM
pany. discovered the blaze in the
dumb.waiter shaft and succeeded In
extinguishing 1t.
A spark started another small fire
between the ceiling ana the roof, and
the second blaze had to be put out
by firemen.
CHM & Co. is adjoined on one side
by the National Savings & Trust Co.
and ON the other by the James B.

Smoke from the fire played havoc
with the air-conditioning system at
the Trans-Lux Building.
The intake vents became filled with
the smoke, which soon circulated
throughout the building, the windows
Of which are sealed.
Torn between suffering with the
heat If the system was shut down and
putting up with the smoke " it was
not, those in charge of the building
decided the smoke was the lesser hard
ship.
With the streets criss-crossed with
hose, buses operating out Of the
Greyhound terminal were obliged to
load and unload from the east side
Of Fourteenth street, instead Of at
