IN ANGLO-AMERICAN FRIENDSHIP BRITISH SEE HOPE OF WORLt t . j President Hough of Northwestern University Gives Impression; Gained in Study of Conditions in Great Britain?Anxiety Gver Economic Situation ? Labor Problem Will Be Solved Through Briton's Genius for Compromise. Chicago.?- President Lynn Uluroid Hough of Noiuhwustern university re cently returned from England, where ho Spent the Numiuor Speaking in load' Ing churches antl holding conferences with many, educational and Intellectu al leaders. . In reply ty a question as to the attitude of England toward America President Hough said : "Tiie typical Englishman <pf serious and Informed mind believes very profoundly In Anglo American friendship. Many men such as Mr. Fisher, the president of the English hoard of education, have been reAdy to express their belief that It Jh tho hope of tho world. There In widespread anxiety ubout the econom ic Situation. With a great debt to Am9rlca and the balance of trade the wroijg way, many Englishmen are very grave as they apeak of the outcome. In Kngland with a population of over forty millions there Is the possibility of producing for something like thlrtes* millions. Tho rest of the food must In the long ruu come from ex change for English products which other countries desire. Would Cancel War Debt. "Some ineu feel that If America would cancel the war debt of Britain It would be a decisive step In pro ducing the right situation. They feel that America came Into the war late, and such treatment of Britain and the other allies would be a noble contri bution of wealth from a nation which did not, as events unfolded, have to make so large a sacrifice . of men as did Britain and France. Some men with a dash of adventure In their es timate of the situation take the view that the dangers are overestimated and that England will quickly recuper ate. I heard Lord Beaverbrook, who Was on the Mauretanla going over, ex press this view. It Is probable that a mntter about which little has been said will Influence the actual outcome. England has had a long and success ful experience In International bank ing, and before * even resourceful Amerl<-'i;>; learn the psychological, trick oi il, Britain will probably be competing with America on more even terms. And this is to the advantage of America. No business man able* to look Into the future would want to l>r?!tk down England's fundamental economic strength even If such a thing were possible." Labor Unrest in England. When askmi about the labor unrest in England Dr. Hough replied: "At times this summer tbe situation has been very grave indeed. But an American needs to remember three things if he would estimate It wisely. The first is that there Is a funda mental common sense In English character which keeps fighting, but somehow does not go to tragic ex tremes. England has a way of paus* Ing Just on the brink of what seemed about to be a bloody revolution. It has a national genius for wise com promise. Tlio second thing Is that the problem has to do with English workers. Our problem Is Infinitely complicated In America by the many races and the many languages in volved." We cannot appeal to a com mon tradition expressed In a common speech. The problem is severely trying In England, but It is ft problem arising out of the life of a group of people who have lived together for centuries and who have a mind without those barriers of race and language which are so terribly hard to surmount. In the third place for all the vigorous language there is u curious appear ance of understanding sympathy under the hostility. When one hears Mr. dynes speak in the house of commons he marvels at the poise and perspec tive and steadiness of his mind. And there are many such labor leaders. On the other hand the number of men among the ruling classes who speak of the problems of labor and the cost of living with a sort of friendly understanding of the labor point of view Is really remarkable. ? Frank Exchange of Opinion. "If I remember Mr. Frank Vander 1 1 p has called attention to this in his lyOVificant little book, 'What Hap T>en?Vl in Europe.' One night I went dnwiX. to Oxford with Sir Arthur Steel-Maifland who was to speak to i :i number of men and women of the ; labor group gathered at Haldol .'or i three weeks of study. There was the freest and frankest exchange of opin ion between the group and this ?ils- j tinguished member of parliament, who i by the way only recently resigned front the ministry. There was dis agreement too. Hut the thing which impressed me most was a sort of mental approach between Sir Arthur nnd these men. There was a certain friendly good comradeship which prom ised much. Not long before I left the other side an Englishman said to me with a sort of chuckle, that soon he would have only ten shillings out of each pound of his income. He add ed that in the present situation it was quite right and he had not a wont of criticism or complaint." When the question of prohibition was r> l***d Or. Hough bad this to Ray- "To tbe typical Englishmen pro hibition on a national scale is simply Incomprehensible, He beljyves that It would n<ri wojk fn KnglumJ. and tlmt It will r?ot work in Americu. There Is, however, a knolls and growin:.: body of public opinion which Ik In clined to take the prohibition move mei-t In mi earnest and open minded way. And there are Englishmen who do not like it who admit 'its power, Not long before 1 sailed, for instance, I was at a luncheon where the sub ject- was discussed. Moat of the guests wer>? illustrating their oppo alt hm to prohlbltlou while the discus sion went on. Sir -well, I think I will not mention his name, hut he Is an Englishman of real significance was sitting oii my left, and he said: 'I do not believe In prohibit Ion. I be lieve It Is an invasion of personal rights. Hut 1 t believe we Englishmen must do the drinking we are going to do In the next four or five years. The economic pressure Is going to drive us to It I! " I)r. llough spoke in the most hearty way of Ids own reception In Great Britain both by the press and the people. lie declared that It was very clear to him that the most priceless things In the future- of eivlllzatlon are hound up In a friendly under standing between Great Britain and America. SEA GIVES UP EVIDENCE Casts Ashore Collar of Dog Lost 24 Years Ago A/ter Refusal to Sell. Oakland, Cel. ? Up where the coast of California and Oregon meet, Charles Ellas of this city found a dog collar issued in Alameda 24 years ago. Twenty-four years ago Nigger dis appeared from the home of Mr. and Mrs. .1. J. Bliss, Alameda. There came a man to the Bliss home a few days earlier and begged to buy Nigger, n man bound for Alnskn, he said. But the owners refused to sell. And so until last week Mr. and Mrs. I>liss knew only that Nigger had gone, and that the man with the fever of the Klondike in Ids veins had gone iiImi. Then Ellas brought them the collar. The leather Is still In good condition and the name on the brass plate, "J. J. Bliss, 1804," Is as plain as the day It was cut. . So the sen has shed a little light on the abduction of Nigger. He started for Alaska, at least. Maybe his new owner cast the collar into the sea. But maybe one of the wrecks that dot the coast could tell a little more of the story. > TOILERS SPENDING LAVISHLY English Laborers Have More Money Than Ever and Demand Luxuries. London, England. ? More money than ever before is now in circulation in English villages, and its easy expen diture is apparent even to the casual passerby. Extra wages, earned by workingmen, housemaids and farm laborers have brought about an aston ishing social change. One evidence of this is seen in the N great increase in bicycles and motor cycles, which has necessitated the es tablishment of countless garages and repair shops throughout the country. Dancing clubs are springing up every where. Whist clubs are favorites ami the costliness of the prizes for which the members play a few years ago would have constituted almost a scan- ] dal. The sense of well being and the de- 1 ma ml for a more comfortable life 1? assigned as the cause for this last i development. It is taken by sociolo gists as a permanent tiling, which Ts more likely to increase than to dimin ish. Would Hunt Murmansk Mosquitoes for Ivory Kern, Russian Lapland. ?
