GOETHE CENTENARY
CELEBRATIONS LN BRITAIN. “/kN INTERNATIONAL CITIZEN.” (British Official Wireless.) Rugby, March 22. Sir Donald Maclean presided at a Government luncheon in the House of Commons in connection with the Goethe centenary celebrations. Among the guests was Herr Treviranus, the German Minister of Communications and Transport. At further celebrations the Foreign Secretary (Sir John Simon) paid a tribute to the “memory of the Olympian figure who belongs not only to Germany, but stands for all time a great citizen of the world.” Sir John Simon described Goethe, as the precursor of the spirit of international tolerance which is so much needed to-day, and he declared that there was no country other than his own country where Goethe’s name was held in higher reverence than in Britain.
