add to cart   close window

The article focuses on Robert Vansittart, permanent head of the British Foreign Office, his official title is permanent Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Ever since Vansittart became permanent head of the British Foreign Office, he has made British foreign policy, whether the marionette of the moment was called Simon, Hoare, or Eden. M. Léger, permanent head of the Quai d'Orsay of France believes in blindly following the policy of England, and acts on his belief, so in fact the policy that he makes is also the policy of Vansittart, who is for all practical purposes foreign minister of France as well as of England.
