...delighted," telegraphed Mr. Henderson and M. Briand publicly to Signor Grandi. "With you we congratulate ourselves." In England the honest broking at Rome was widely hailed as the prime achievement of the Labor Government since the London Conference-Scot MacDonald and his cabinet having failed to accomplish nearly everything they have attempted since.
