LORD HALIFAX
MISSION TO UNITED STATES. SOME SPECIAL ADVANTAGES. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day. 12.35 p.mj RUGBY. January 9. Viscount Halifax, speaking at the Pilgrims' luncheon, said he could claim none of the special qualifications and personal experience of the United States which made Lord Lothian an ideal Ambassador, but. on the other hand, he thought there was no precedent for the advantage he enjoyed, in passing directly from the council of the War Cabinet and the chair of Foreign Secretary to represent Britain in Washington. He said; “My duty, as I see it. will not be confined to the business of one-way traffic in thought by the interpretation of the United States to the British Government and people. Not less vital is the transplantation of British thoughts and purposes to the Government and peoples of America. Events indeed have spoken more loudly than any words."
