FREEDOM OF SUDBURY
GENERAL DAWES HONOURED BY BOROUGH British Official Wireless RUGBY, Tuesday. The United States Ambassador to Britain, General C: G. Dawes, today received the freedom of Sudbury, Suffolk, whence his ancestor, William Dawes, emigrated to America 300 years ago with other Puritans. The scroll of freedom, which was enclosed in a casket of old British oak, recalled General Dawes’s ancestral connection with the borough. It mentioned his services to the cause of peace and disarmament to which, it said, he had wholeheartedly devoted his life. In acknowledging the honour, General Dawes said there was a record of an English Dawes fighting against an American Dawes during the American War of Independence. All that, however, was past. The two countries were now together fighting the battle for world peace.
