KEEN INSIGHT
The new Ambasador is a most attractive personality, with a sim- ple and direct manner. Physically active.and vigorous, he impresses one as a man of keen insight and re- solute character.
His personal tastes *are very catholic. Equally an enthusiast in sport and shooting, he also is a de- votee of literature, and is a parti- cular admirer of the modern school of poetry headed by T. S. Eliot and Edith Sitwell.
Sir Archibald is keenly looking forward to his anxious but stimulat- ing duties in China. Reuter.
