Abstract

Philip Snowden at the Hague

Ratcliffe, S. K. | September 11, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

At an international conference a British Minister has spoken as though he were the representative of a great Power, and not of a vassal state; he has put his foot down and kept it there; he has announced the British terms in ringing tones, and with a complete contempt for the evasions of diplomacy. He has gained for himself a position of unequaled honor and popularity with the British people, a position such as, quite literally, no British statesman has held yet. And because the minister in the case is Philip Snowden, the marvel is beyond description and almost beyond belief.
