Foreign News: Son MacDonald

Arrived unostentatiously in the U. S., Malcolm MacDonald, 23-year-old son of Premier MacDonald, a member of the Oxford Union debating team that is to have 17 oratorical matches in the U. S. and Canada.

He was presented to President Coolidge, lunched with Secretary of State Charles E. Hughes, saw many friends, left for Toronto.

The press made much fuss about his visit, compared it to that of Lord Renfrew, as if the comparison were equal. As he had never met Renfrew, it was suggested that he meet him for the first time on U. S. soil. He replied:

"The Prince is here on a holiday and I don't want to interfere in any way with that. He is here unofficially and wants to be left to his own devices."

In American politics he was extremely interested:

"The political campaign in America is a very much greater undertaking than elections under the British system. The huge number of voters to be reached and the vast territory to cover make American electioneering a task of magnitude beyond anything we have at home."
