MR MENZIES POPULAR IN AMERICA
NEW YORK, May 20. Mr R. G. Menzies, the Australian Prime Minister, has left America by air for home. Mr Norman James,, the British Broadcasting Corporation’s representative in New York, said: “Mr Menzies left America with the bonds of friendship of the two countries knit closer than ever before. Mr Menzies won American hearts, not because he has already established himself as a statesman of high order, but because he appeals to them in the same way as a Minnesota Congressman. ’ Mr Menzies said before his departure that Australia was like America in that it was a long way from the struggle. Political opinion and administration had great similarity in Australia and the United States. They were not fighting for British interests alone, nor was America, but for humanity. Mr James said: “This is the kind of speech that makes sense to the American people.”
