DAWES TO GET WARM GREETING FROM ENGLAND Imagination of Tight Little Isle Fired by Advance Stories About Envoy. BY STEWART BROWS', Vnilcd Prf* SUrt < orre.pondrnt _ LONDON. May 25—When Gen. Charles G. Dawes arrives in London next month as United States ambassador v *he Court of St. James, he will find himself the most popular American on the island. Dawes has fired the imagination of the British people. Englishmen have not been able to disguise their joy at the appointment of the man whom they regard as one of the greatest banking and political figures on the other side of the Atlantic. Every one of the general’s hobbies and pastimes has been diagnosed, analyzed, catalogued and—approved. He is the type of man the English aamire. They have made friends with him before his arrival. England likes Dawes, for one tiling, because he insists on smoking a pipe. As Winston Churchill captivates their imagination, because he likes to lav brick in his spare moments, so Dawes already has gained himself a following, because of his leaning toward the pine. England also likes Dawes because he is a musician and because he tan forget politics and matters of : tate in the sentimentality of the music room. This, say the British newspapers, shows beyond question c! a doubt that he will be a human tmbassador. They have heard that Dawes is epigrammatic and forceful in speaking. That, too. is to their liking. It was predicted that he would “ring titW” with Britishers. His frequent outbursts into colorful “cuss words” just hits the English folk right. It is considered particularly fortunate here that the United States saw fit to appoint a former Vicepresident to represent his government in London. His name, long known to Britain for the Dawes plan, is familiar not only to the inmates of Whitehall, but to the entire nation. He comes to England without the handicap of having to make himself acquainted. BRYAN TO BE SPEAKER 1. U. Head on Program at Will Durant Dinner Monday.
