FALSE LABELS
ON U.S. AND BRITAIN. NEW YORK, February 1. The Hon. Mrs Alfred Lyttelton (Dame Edith Lyttelton, widow of the Right Hon. Alfred Lyttelton), who is on her way home from Japan, speaking at a luncheon given in her honour by the New York chapter of the English-speaking Union, expressed the opinion that many people in England thought people in America “very rich, very grasping, and very uppish.” Similarly, she had discovered folks in America who thought the English “very poor, very tyrannical, and very, very slow.” It was time, she said, to get rid of srtch false labels, and the English-speaking Union was one means to that end. Mrs Lyttelton foresaw a great confederacy of English-speaking nations bound together by common sentiments. Among these sentiments she enumerated a passionate love of individual things, an almost fantastic love of justice, and tolerance of other people’s opinions.—Reuter.
