Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Unpopular Review, January-June 1918, Vol. 9 It has long been the custom, and very especially with Mr. Wilson, to make diplomatic appointments among men associated with literature: in fact, the following ambassadors and ministers, present or recent, are members of the Authors´ Club: Messrs. Egan (Denmark), Gerard (Germany), Hardy (Persia, Greece, Rumania and Servia, Switzerland and Spain), Hill (Germany), W. H. Page (England), T. N. Page (Italy), Penneld (Austria), Porter (France), Van Dyke (Holland), White (Germany) and Straus (Turkey). Of ambassadors to the United States, Lord Bryce and Monsieur Jusserand are also members of the Club. Of these, Messrs. Gerard, Hardy, Hill, Straus and Van Dyke happening to be at home, their fellow-members of the Club gave them a dinner on Thursday, November 1st, Professor Giddings presiding. The speeches began with the usual after dinner persiflage and perhaps a touch of diplomatic reticence, but the tone soon changed and they expressed much thought and experience regarding the attitude on the present great questions of the countries where the diplomats had served; and they were expressed as they could have been only to a very exceptionally stimulating audience. It would hardly be extravagant to call the occasion a historic one. But the speeches were very inadequately reported in the daily press, and on account of lateness, some of them were not reported at all. In consequence many of those present have thought that they should be preserved and disseminated, and we have secured the privilege of presenting them to our readers. For obvious reasons we forego our rule of contributors´ anonymity until the next number. While preparing the speeches for the press, the authors have been invited to modify them freely with reference to subsequent reflections or events.
