HISTORY’S WORKINGS
LORD HALIFAX’S MISSIONS. Being a scholar and something of a philosopher, the British Foreign Secretary, Lord Halifax, may well ruminate concerning his latest mission to Geneva on the strange workings of history. Fifteen years ago he was sent to a League of Nations meeting at Geneva, when he was Mr Edward Wood, President of the Board of Education in the first Baldwin Government, recalls “Autolycus” in the “Sunday Times.” His mission then was to oppose the admission of Abyssinia to League membership, a step which Italy was proposing. Now he is given the task of bringing about the removal of Abyssinia. Had his view prevailed in 1923,. he would not now have such a delicate task, and one of the most unfortunate chapters in post-war history would not have had to be written.
