RUGBY, December 2.
Sir Samuel Hoare, Secretary for Foreign Affairs, has been ordered by 'his doctors to take a holiday as soon as possible. Although Sir Samuel has recovered from an attack of arthritis which he had in the early autumn, the continuous strain to which he has been subjected in connection with the India Sill and the foreign, situation has made a period of rest desirable. Accompanied by Lady Maud Hoare, he proposes, therefore, to leave towards the end of the present week for Switzerland, where he will stay, according to present plans, until after ' Christmas.
He hopes to see M. Laval on his way through Paris on Saturday.
Mr. Anthony Eden will be in charge of the Foreign Office during Sir Samuel's absence, and the Prime Minister will be available for consultation when necessary. While he is abroad Sir Samuel Hoare's place as delegate to the forthcoming Naval Conference will be taken by Lord Stanhope, Parliamentary Under - Secretary for Foreign Affairs, acting as substitute delegate.
