MR. EDEN’S VISIT TO U.S.A.
Rush Landing From Delayed
Liner Planned
EFFORT TO ARRIVE IN TIME FOR BROADCAST
(Received December 9, 9 p.m.) NEW YORK, December 8.
It was at first feared that the gales which retarded the Aquitania would make it impossible for Mr. Anthony Eden to arrive in time to deliver an address at 10 p.m. tomorrow, but the speeding-up of the vessel and arrangements to land him from a Government cutter and rush him, under police escort, to the Waldorf Astoria, seem likely to assure the scheduled broadcast over the three principal wireless systems of the country.
The address, which is entitled “Democracy and the Modern World,” has aroused the greatest expectation. Seats at a dinner totalling 4000 are already sold out, and demands for thousands more which are pouring in cannot be filled.
Though Mr. Eden’s stay in America is to be less than a fortnight he has been overwhelmed with requests to make addresses, confer with public bodies or visit institutions.
