Scope and content
Geneva, Switzerland. - Is here for the League of Nations Assembly, 'a very amusing entertainment'; is reporting for the Daily Chronicle and has a 'good press gallery seat... & a good view of the Delegates'. Likes 'the South American States, who are numerous and excitable'; mentions a recent 'fierce turn-up' between Chile and Bolivia. The 'Great Powers are calmer, but equally determined not to be done down. France is very jealous of Britain, of course, and is very noisy during the English translations of the speeches, to drown them if possible'. Nansen is here and a 'very popular figure. Also Balfour and [?] R. Cecil'.
