Hilarity among League statesmen by this time was such that the grave rebuttal of Dr. Guani, who cited dry instances of revolutionary activity abroad by the organizations Joseph Stalin dominates, went unheeded. At one document cited by Dr. Guani, M. Litvinoff shouted "Forged...
...piece of traditional British wisdom is that no new King is of much effect. The influence and value of an able King builds up gradually as he ripens on the Throne. Slowly, cumulatively, his prestige with subjects and statesmen rises, and he learns by experience where and upon whom judicious pressure by the King can make itself felt.

He is the author of a fat stack of works comprising his investigations of celebrated judicial cases, exotic crimes and the lives of statesmen he knew as a reporter.
