LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER. "LA GRANDE. ORE. .Fasre Three. AVERAGE MAN IN ENGLAND THINKS AMERICANS ROUGH Thursday, February 1, 1931 i , lly Frank 11. Khtff LONDON (T) The average Eng lishman regards Americana as couMns tout 'the average Englishman do:sn't cure much tor cousins. Common heritage of race, customs,: laws and language and all the ora torical standbys of lecturers, after dinner speakers and hnnctB-ncrosj-tho-sca edvocates fall to explain what the average Englishman thinks of America and Americans and why lie thinks It. , But Amity Kuffere No two nations. It would wem, have a greater basis for understand ing. Fundamentally, unUerataading exists. Superficially, Anglo-American amity suffers many hard knocks. Who won the war? War debts) The Loague of Notions, Ellis Island, Lre land, rum-running, prohibition, the gold standard, the world economic conference, the next world economic comerence these and a mulwluue of 'other controversial subjects have dogged Anglo-American relations the last 15 years. Speaking something of the same language 4.hls being admitted even toy English, who think tiiat the Ox ford accent Is universal throughout the British Isles John Bull and Un cle 6am speak plainly to eech other, lecnus tiey hve e- common toiurue. however, kinship and similarity of viewpoint are assumed that do not exist.' i Too Much Similarity Viscount Lee of Fa re ham, who was one of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough, Rid ers In the Spanish -American war, speaking at the American Society's Thanksgiving day dinner in London this year, said that the very similar ity of language created misunder standing between Britain and Am erica, ' Manifold facilities for understand ing exist. The two countries read eacli' other's news, see each, other's monies, exchange shiploads of lec turers, tourists and -books, England gctst more of the tourists, America Jnorp lecturers. I Wild anil Wooly ejill, the old Ideas die hard. The ftvcrpge Englishman always has be lieved that America is a wild and wooly land. Indians may have been displaced by macJilne-gunning gang ster, tout the net result Is about the nam e . Americans are roug h and ready Yankee cousins, often a little uncouth, with more whoopee, than sense in their makeup. Americans still are "dollar chasers," and Englishmen continue to chase the tdollar lieircsses, even If the dol lars tare baloney or rubber. They know the potential resources of tiie United States. In fact, they know the toaolc strength of the na tion? much totter than they under stand superficial iAmoricaThat, per haps, Is ft tribute to the British. I tiornscveft And Crime Never has so much American po litical and government news been printed In the English press as since President Roosevelt's election. Roose velt Is America's biggest personality In British eyes. But crime still tops all other news from America. The land of Sherlock Holmes and Edgar Wallace likes Its murtter mysteries. American movies make big EngliEh news and dominate British screens; more than 75 per cent of all tlie movjes shown here stilt come from Hollywood. Staid London Just no is trying to decide whether she ap proves of Mae West. krM'-xmm I axsa 3 aa Warns low fiSk-k .27 tm A I ; : .
