London, June 28.
Dr. Alfred Sze arrived' in London from' Washington at one o'clock on Tuesday might. His ship had reached Plymouth at five that afternoon, but there were 800 passengers on board Jand it took hours to sort them out and get them entrained. 'That speaks well for the tourist trade, which in fact {s booming. One often wonders how the many big hotels in London keep going, as a matter of fact they Jdon't. But' this summer should redress the balance a bit. Americans who used to treat England as a mere jumping-off place for the Continent, fare now giving the latter but @ few days and are spending most of their holiday in England. Large numbers} Jof French people are also visiting us this year. 'Like the Americans they' have discovered that London is the gayest city in Europe. It has an mosphere of joyousness, a pictures fqueness in its entertainment, our Visitors say, such as they cannot fud now anywhere else.
England in perpetual sunshine and London as. the ville lumiere of Europe. Truly we live in an age of miracles.
Dr. Sze has many friends in Lon-on who are, indeed. glad to see him back. As Minister and man he is equally and. deservedly popular wherever he goes. His hair is going alittle grey, but he is as full of energy and boyishness as ever. He tells me that he insisted in Washington and shall insist in London that he is here only for a holiday and that he will refuse to talk polities, but he won't be allowed to do so.
