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.
