...educate British public opinion in their real points of view. Of Anthony Eden, Lord Halifax said: "I look forward to the time when the country will again enjoy the benefit of his service and guidance in its administration! . . . It is no fault of the League of Nations and still less of His Majesty's Government, but . . . if we were to act as some suggest and try to organize a new pattern of collective security against Germany by the present League powers we should be doing the very thing that would be not only on the long view destructive...

...gave out a letter in which he had turned down an unnamed U. S. woman's application forwarded by Republican Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. "For many years this Embassy has had the privilege of presenting between 20 and 30 American ladies each year, and the Court is still disposed to receive as many American ladies as in the past," wrote Ambassador Kennedy.
