LONDON, April 23—“ My outstanding impression of America was President Cool id go's cordial reception,”

said Sir Arthur Cocks, the new AgentGeneral for New South Wales, to the special representative of the Sun. “Presidept Ooolidge proved to be rpiiei, self-contained, modest and. unassuming. With charming simplicity he asked many questions regarding Australia's resources, products and Maple industries. 1 • Responsible Americans everywhere display 1 lie utmost cordiality to Australians and to Britishers generally. Their hospitality to my wife and myself was boundless. In every town we visited they placed motor cars at our disposal. , “ As visitors to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, New , York, and Washington, we were inevitably impressed'with the constantly-increasing motor traffic, as well as the steps taken to regulate it. _ “We saw plasterers’, joiners and masons’ ears parked on building sites i„ Ros Angeles.
