...wonder. He had just lost a "stone" (14 lb.). Under doctors' orders he and Mrs. Henderson spent most of August gulping down the slimming waters of a Welsh spa (Llandrindod Wells), from which they hastened via London to Geneva. In pulpit tones, measured, slow and once or twice ringingly fervent, Mr. Henderson made last week the speech of his life, successfully courted fame by demanding that the League act to achieve Disarmament, cease piddling about "Security," the Frenchified nebulosity upon which M.
