Britain. So sacrosanct is the British week-end that Foreign Secretary Sir John Simon created a stir by letting it be known in London that, although he would not cancel his week-end in the country, he would keep in constant touch by wire with his Foreign Office.

All of them were Russian provinces before 1917 and in all of them still goes on a constant struggle of German v. Russian influence. Latvia is mostly an agricultural country.
