INTEREST IN ENGLAND.
It is notable what a large amount of attention is being given in American papers to English news of all kinds. To-day's New York Times, for instance, contains nearly nine columns of English news, including one and one-half columns, beginning on the front' page, about the illness of the King. Other news items deal with the Singapore Base, the new Prayer Book, the debate on Empire Trade, the mandate question in Africa, Mr. MacDonald's proposed visit to Canada, the proposed freight subway for London, and the Oxford and Cambridge cricket match. There is probably as much news about the King in the New York Times this morning as in the London Times. Similar attention to British news is to be seen in other leading papers. The amount of space given to English news in Ameiican papers is indicative of the interest the American people take'in English affairs.
