British Envoy and Wife Stimulate Pro-Brtish Feenq
James Dougoses to Set Up Housekeeping Here Next Fall

Observers can't help noticing
an increasingly pro-British at
titude developing in Washing
ton as the result of the new
British Ambassador and his
wife. Sir Roger and Lady
Makins act neither aloof, SUI
perior or uninterested as so
many of their predecessors
have done, but are demon
strating a frlendliness on all
sides that is bound to leave its
mark. Such agreeable natural
ness will go a long way toward
revamping the traditional
American idea of British Snob-
berry.
Even embassy staff members
were pleasantly surprised when
the Ambassador freshly ar
rived in Washington and
very much occupied with
Winston Churchili's pres
ence, visited every Office
and shook hands with every
diplomat and clerk in the
Embassy during the first couple
of days. Staff members liked it,
too. when they telephoned the
Ambassadors office and got a
CHEEKY Roger Makins here"
on the other end of the line.
A group of United States
diplomats and Army and Navy
officers who are currently TAX
ing the National War College
course grinned with surprised
pleasure when Sir Roger came
to lunch the other day and the
subject turned on baseball.
Whereas not one American in
thousands knows what's cook
ing in cricket circles in Eng
land, the British Ambassador
knew all about the big Ameri-
can baseball teams, their rec
ords, where they're playing
and, in fact, more about our
national sport than any one
else at the luncheon!

Great Britain should have

Incidentally. the British en-
voy and his wife are distressed
that their first large party-a

incide with the concert to be
given by Dame Myra Hess
in Constitution Hall the
same evening. The great
British pianist was given
the title Dame" because
of her wonderful record during
the war, when she stopped all
concertizing for money and
played only for the wounded,
in the bomb shelters, etc. The
first plans for the famous
Amadeus String Quartet to
play at an embassy evening
party were laid even before
Sir Roger and Lady Makins
left England and they were en-
tirely settled in their first week
in Washington before they had
any idea that Myra Hess was
coming. Alice Makins will hear
her play at Lisner Auditorium
the next afternoon.
