...speech at Genoa (1922) Mr. George, speaking to some Anglo-American journalists, chose as his subject the difficulties attending pre-War and post-War debt settlements with the Soviet Government. He spoke for about 20 minutes and throughout his speech he used golfing metaphors. The Allies were " bunkered " for the moment. A skillfully used "niblick " would put them " on the green." He expected to "hole out" in a few days. Tchicherin had momentarily laid the conference a " stymie," et cetera...
Colonel George Harvey, Ambassador at the Court of St. James, was preparing to sail for home. Before he left, he attended a farewell din- ner of the famous Anglo-American Society, The Pilgrims.

There should be either less regulation and a more powerful committee...
...proportion to its importance since 1919, the Peace Conference spent relatively little time on the question of Reparations. France wanted security but was forced to accept the League and an Anglo-American Treaty in lien of the left bank of the Rhine. Then she was deserted, as she felt, by England and America and forced to depend for safety against a more powerful nation on her own unaided efforts. That, under such circumstances, she should insist on the literal execution of the Treaty even when that appears almost impossible, seems perfectly natural...
