...Freedom from these suspicions would have been enjoyed by almost any Labor leader. But Mr. MacDonald has personal qualities of his own which attract Americans more, perhaps, than they do Englishmen. His capacity for expressing religious and idealistic sentiment in public speeches is more popular and more accepted in America than in England...
