'The Flotsam of War' Five Million Refugees PHILIP NOEL BAKER

on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

This evening Philip Noel Baker is to discuss international co-operation from the aspect of refugee work-obviously an enormously important work, not alas ! likely to become less so. He will show what the League of Nations has done for refugees and what it is still doing, and, as'an illustration, will deal especially with the League's treatment of the Greek refugees-a million or so of them placed in Europe.
Noel Baker was a member of the League of Nations Section of British Delegations during the Peace Conference, and was attached to the Secretariat until 1922. He was Private Secretary to the President of the Disarmament Conference at Geneva from
1932 to 1933, and won the Howland Prize for distinguished work in the sphere of Government, at Yale University, the following year.
Of his many publications, his book
'The League of Nations at Work ' is of particular interest in view of today's broadcast.
