Who Was Once
H.K. Resident
A former American resi-
dent of Hongkong, now
in London, has been uttering rhapsodics about England and Englishmen.
He is Mr. John Dowrick, former Manager of the Express Com- American pany's office in Hongkong, now Manager of the Com- pany's branch in London.
"The English are the only sensible people in Europe,' said Mr. Dowrick, in an interview published in the London Daily Express.
"Americans are impressed by the solidity of England. They have deep admiration
for the English calm and! control in the midst of the havoc on the Continent.
"Americans, „favoured by the, return of good times, are doing! their touring in England herause the they think the English are only sensible people in Europe. They know they will get a square! deal in England. They don't) know what to expect on the Con-i tinent."
The flood of American so- journers in London usually sub- sides at the end of July. Instead, this year, it has mounted to a record figure.
Mr. Dowrick estimated that 20,000 there were
American tourists in London last month- 5.000 more than during the month of July. "It is easily the greatest season in seven years," he said.
Mr. Dowrick should know what he is talking about. For almost a decade he has been unofficial! guide, protector, nurse, confessor, and guardian angel to thousands!
of American tourists in London each year.
