His rise to power in the Conservative Party was dogged by the memory of 1939, when, at the age of 36, it was his duty to defend the Munich disaster in the House of Commons (the Foreign Secretary, Halifax, was in the House of Lords).

...Many Asians complained that only three of the 33 members of the world council's board were Asians, and were only partly mollified by the election to the council's presidency of India's Methodist Bishop Shot K. Mondol (succeeding England's Viscount Mackintosh of Halifax). Western delegates, proud of the amount of free discussion in the convention, were disconcerted to discover that even some of the Japanese clergy strongly suspected that, as one of them said: "This emphasis on discussion groups is just an attempt to make propaganda for your American ideas about democracy...
