12 SEPTEMBER 1935, Page 6

It would be interesting to collect the opinions of foreigners

on what impressed them most in Great Britain. A prominent Chinese industrialist who was here a few weeks ago, when questioned . on that, answered rather surprisingly, " Westminster Abbey," mentioning that he had spent six hours consecutively in the Abbey one Sunday, attending one, service and for the rest drinking in the peace and beauty of the place. Rather different were the tastes of an African potentate who was shown the glories of the capital, but found nothing that appealed to him quite so much as the penguins at the Zoo. Personally I can feel a good deal of sympathy with both choices.
