Ha had..come at an ex- tremely interesting time, and "he had talked with Englishmen. on matters of political and social interest
He was leaving England with a feeling that things were much better than England thought or than many Englishmen be lieved or would say (Laughter.)

Speaking of Ireland, he said that that not help being America's business. It was not merely a in America.
