LEAGUE OF NATIONS
TRIBUTE TO MR JORDAN REPUTATION A 8 STATESMAN ASKS PERTINENT QUESTIONS (Times Air Mail Service) LONDON, September 13 Last week the diplomats met at Nyon in a building which cost, perhaps, £2OO. To-day they meet in the new Assembly Hall which completes Geneva’s Palace of Peace —which cost £2,000,000.
One man at home in either setting is Ramsgate-born, ex-policeman, W. J. Jordan, New Zealand’s High Commissioner in London, says the Daily Herald.
Mr Jordan is rapidly building up for himself a reputation as a first-class statesman. He keeps his substantial feet firmly on the ground, has the temerity to ask pertinent questions—and insists on getting the answers. The League Assembly is to receive proposals for the separation of the Covenant from the Treaty of Versailles. Who insisted that they should receive those proposals? William Joseph Jordan.
