Outstanding as a financier (and his chief is the only living banker who might conceivably be said to outrank him), he is scarcely less an intellectual.

A liberal himself (he supported Cox and Davis because of the League issue, voted for Hoover last fall), he has in his immediate family almost every shade of liberal opinion.

...Elizabeth II"? The cheering crowds in Bruton Street were by no means certain that they were not cheering their future sovereign. The royal babe, although she is the King's third grandchild, outranks His Majesty's two grandsons, the sons of Princess Mary. This baby will ascend the throne in the event that she outlives George V, Edward of Wales and her father-providing of course that the Prince of Wales dies without issue and that a son is not born to her father. She thus ranks, at present, third in the line of succession; and only three...
