ON WHOSE BROW ?
THIS YEAR’S NOBEL PEACE AWARD lßy Air Mail—Own Correspondent] LONDON. 13th October. In the first flush of (he joy over the Munich settlement, it was urged that tine year s Nobel Peace a war dshould be conferred on Mr Neville ( liamberlain. Now we have Mr H. G. Wells coming forward with a suggestion that the appropriate claimant is Dr. Bones, the cx-President of Czechoslovakia. Mr Wells is an old acquaintance of Dr. Benes. and no doubt Ins feelings are thereby intensified. Possibly Italian opinion might hold that neither our Premier nor the £zccli ex-Pre-sident, but their own Dure is most deserving of recognition in this way, but the decision rests with authorities who are not swayed by either political or personal considerations, and possibly they may name someone quite outside the expected orbit. Dr llenes, by the way, is now out of public employment after '2O years’ service. He lias certainly not amassed a fortune probably not even a compefency during that arduous period but h ■ has academic qualifications which would secure him a professorship in many universities, and he would be a first-* lass attraction as lecturer m USA.
