THE EARL OF BALFOUR, O.M. on the occasion of the TENTH ANNIVERSARY DINNER
OF THE
ENGLISH-SPEAKING UNION
Relayed from the Hotel Victoria
THE English-Speaking Union, which exists to promote understanding and friendship between the British and the American peoples, was founded, on the basis of a previous organization, in 1918. Since then it has done much good work, which is being celebrated with this dinner tonight. The Earl of Balfour, whose speech will be broadcast, is a particularly appropriate speaker on such an occasion, for besides having much contact with the United States as Foreign Secretary and as Prime Minister, he headed the British Mission in 1917, and the Mission to the Washington Conference of 1921-22.
