Discusses American History
and Friendship of
English.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.
Lord Tweedsmuir, governor general
of Canada, who, with Lady Tweeds
muir, is a guest at the White House,
started a busy routine today with an
informal chat with newspaper men in
President Roosevelt’s office.
The meeting was announced as a
“press conference," but Lord Tweeds
• muir who opened his remarks with the
explanation he was "once a news
paper man myself,” confined himself
to a discussion of American history,
particularly the Civil War period.
His Excellency said he had been to
America so often, and had so many
friends here, that he regarded it as
his "second fatherland.” In answer to
a question from a member of the
press, he agreed that Americans,
Canadians and people of England, as
well, have a common viewpoint. He
added that, for this reason, they all
should be good friends always.
President Is Listener.
As the visitor stood in the oval
ehaped office of the President, talking
to the score or more of newspaper
writers, Mr. Roosevelt sat leaning back
In his chair at his desk, only occa
sionally joining in the conversation.
The President introduced his guest
with the explanation:
"His excellency is really one of you—
so, therefore, treat him gently.”
As the newspaper representatives
filed into the office for the con
ference, they were introduced to Lord
Tweedsmuir by name and the paper or
pews service they represented by the
representative of The Star, selected for
the task by the President. His lordship
was attired in full ceremonial uniform,
with an enormous amount of silver
braid and any number of medals and
decorations adorning his coat, and a
eword hanging from his side. His
lordship apologized for his attire, say
ing he had to wear it today because
he was scheduled for so many cere
monial engagements. He implied he
would much rather have been m
Informal attire, as was the President.
Fairness of Newspaper Men.
Discussing his relations with news
paper men during the war, Lord
Tweedsmuir said he had placed him
self in their hands and they had al
ways treated him fairly and kindly.
He discouraged questions touching
upon political matters by saying at
the outset that a governor general of
Canada has no politics, no views.
Both the President and Lord
Tweedsmuir indicated they had not
yet had an opportunity for a real
heart-to-heart talk. Opportunity for
this will be presented this afternoon,
when the President and his guest
motor back to the White House from
Mount Vernon.
The Canadian Governor General
Will go to Mount Vernon aboard the
presidential yacht Potomac, which will
afford him an opportunity to view the
scenery on both sides of the river.
Later President Roosevelt will motor
to Mount Vernon and meet Lord
Tweedsmuir and his party at the boat
dock there.
He will accompany the party to the
Tomb of Washington and through the
famous old mansion and to other parts
of the grounds. Lord Tweedsmuir will
Bit beside the President during the
drive back to Washington and it is
expected they will then discuss various
matters of special Interest to this
country and Canada.
Before taking Lord Tweedsmuir to
his office to meet the press this morn
ing the President showed him around
the White House and the executive
office building.
The slim author-diplomat and his
wife set out, on their first full day
In the Capital, to pay formal honors
at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier,
the Canadian cross, home of Robert
E. Lee and George Washington's
tomb.
The Scottish-born couple, received
by troops and top-hatted statesmen on
their arrival yesterday, shared honors
last night with Katharine Cornell, the
actress, who was given the national
achievement award of the Chi Omega

Official Red Tape Is Slashed
To Bring Wife From Dalmatia
By the Associated Press.
Martin Slisco, a strapping Alaskan
merchant with an eye to romance
and an infinite amount of patience,
cut through the last snarl of official
red tape yesterday and looked forward
to reunion with his bride from Dal
matia.
The State Department notified the
naturalized Yugoslavian it would per
mit his bride to come into United
States territory even if she is above
the immigration quota.
Tonight Bob Marshall, author, who
met Slisco at his Par North home and
became his friend, will be the host
here at a party in celebration.
“She’ll be a queen when we get
to Alaska,” Slisco beamed. ‘‘There
are no single women at my home,
Wiseman. There are only two married
tines. And there are 200 whites there.
“They told me, when I left last Fall,
not to come back without a wife.
"I went back home to Dalmatia for
the first time after 34 years, to see
my old parents and to get me a wife.
“My three sisters took me to church
and showed me 30 girls I could marry.
Some of them were good looking, by
jingo. But I couldn’t get my mind
Dn any of them. Just before I was
to leave, my brother said he knew of
one.”
That “one” was 22-year-old Para
Keka. They fell in love at first sight
and within a week they were married.
“Then the American consul wouldn’t
let me bring her back with me,”
Slisco said. “He said I could not get

Lord Tweedsmuir, who is returning
the visit which President Roosevelt
paid him last Summer, was accorded
military honors as the representative
of this continent of the King of Eng
land.
With him came two aides, one wear
ing the towering bearskin shako and
kilts of the Royal Scots Guard.
The party was met by Secretary of
State Hull, the Canadian Minister,
the British Ambassador and a war
strength escort of United States
Cavalry.
Presentation of Award.
When the ceremonies of greeting
and dinner were over last night the
Roosevelts and the guests turned to
honor the first actress to receive the
annual award given an outstanding
American woman.
The award was presented to Miss
Cornell by a star of another genera
tion, Mrs. Eleanor Robson Belmont.
Women who won the awaag in other
years looked on—Mrs. Roosevelt, Sec
retary of Labor Perkins, Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Josephine
Roche, Dr. Florence Sabin, the scien
tist, and Miss Frances Grimes, known
in the field of art.
Miss Cornell's father and her hus
band, Guthrie McClintic, were in the
audience, along with such widely
known stage characters as Otis Skin
ner, Lillian Gish and Jo Mielziner, the
stage designer.

Slisco, who is 47, came here and

Labor Department and the State
Department.

Safe Aircraft Work May Be
Hampered, Young Fly
ers Told.
Aviation research work planned by
the Bureau of Air Commerce will be
seriously crippled as a result of a
reduction made by the House in the
Commerce Department appropriation
bill, John Geisse, chief of the develop
ment section of the bureau, today told
the National Intercollegiate Plying
Club Conference in session at the
La Payette Hotel.
"The House has just cut our ap
propriation to such an extent we will
not be able to carry on the work we
had planned,” Geisse said.
The chief effect of the reduction
probably will be felt in types of re
search concerning the development of
safe aircraft for private operation, he
indicated.
Dirigible Discussed.
The dirigible airship will play an in
creasingly important part in inter
national transportation, the club was
told by Comdr. Charles E. Rosendahl,
Navy airship authority. Rosendahl
related that the Germans are build
ing three new airships of the Hinden
burg type for transoceanic service.
Development of a chain of airports
around larger cities will become a ne
cessity in the near future, Maj. A. B.
