AMERICAN SYMPATHY
While mermans have begun to wear on tueir lapels the Stars and Stripes, it might interest your readers to know that the Union Jack is also being worn by women all over America, and very attractive Union Jacks, of enamel and brilliants, writes a San Francisco correspondent to The Times. You must know that over here we have a tremendous admiration for Mr Churchill, but you may not know that we linger about our radios waiting for his addresses with eagerness, and when we miss them it is with genuine regret. It is not too much to say that after our own President Roosevelt Mr Churchill is our greatest radio star, and most of us feel that his eloquence is up in the realm of art. Perhaps these things seem frivolous to you in the midst of such grave problems, but I thought it might be of some cheer to the English to know that we are wearing England’s flag along with our own, and that when we knit we knit for England, and when we pray we pray for England, and that those who are able only to wish, they wish for England.
