ba: the first Secretary-General.

His appointment to Rome is bound to be an event of some in- portance, because of the delicate and still unresolved tendencies in the relations between the Danu- bian countries and the surrounding Great Powers. His influence with the small States of Central Europe goes deep, because those States | bave placed great confidence in the League of Nations, and have al- ways looked to Sir Eric for advice and help. The Four-Power Pact

is regarded, both in Rome and in Lae Danubian capitals, as a pos sible bridge between. their some- what divergent views of the Cen- tral European problem. Sir Eric's tact and experience of troublesome problems is likely to help the most constructive influences in Central. -Europe.
