ANOTHER MAN FROM BALLIOL
STR ALEXANDER CADOGAN
(By Air Mail—Prom Our Own Correspondent) LONDON, 30th April. Balliol men continue to aciiieve distinction in many walks of life. Another "son of Belial” to demonstrate this fact is Sir Alexander Cadogan, who is coming home from China to take up the post of Deputy Under-Secretary at tlie Foreign Office. He looks and talks like tlie distinguished Old Etonian he is, and his severely and even coldly, dispassionate mentality may, reinforcing the Downing Street permanent staff, help to check tlie current amateur tendency to unrealistic emotionalism in foreign policy. The British Alinister to Persia, Sir Hughe Knatchbull-Hqgesson, is taking over Sir Alexander’s post in' the Far East, and this transference will entail yot another diplomatic appointment to Teheran. The Foreign Office still seems to maintain its intellectual and social elan.
