FROM STOCKHOLM TO MOSCOW A friend who has just returned from Stockholm tells me that there is great regret in that city at the impending departure of Mr. Noel Charles, the Secretary of the Bri- tish Legation there.
He is going to Moscow as Acting- Counsellor in the place of Mr.
Strang.
Mr. Charles has already had a variety of posts, including Brussels, Bucharest, and Tokio. He and his wife did much entertaining, at their flat in the Engelbrektsgatan.
NATIONAL TRUST COUNCIL The appointment of Mr, H. A. L. Fisher, the Warden of New College, to the vacancy on the Council of the National Trust created by the death of Lord Grey is an interest- ing one.
Lord Grey and his successor were cast in much the same-mould. A humane scholarship, a Liberal philosophy, and a great"kindliness were commin to both.
Mr. Fisher carries to his new post valuable experience gained on such bodies as the Oxford Pre- servation Trust, the British Academy (of which he is presi- dent) the London Library (of which he is chairman), and the National Gallery, of which he is one of the trustees.
