Lord Reading to Address
American Bar Association
The Marquess of Reading, one of the
most influential personages in the po
litical affairs of the British Empire, is
preparing to come to the United States,
having accepted an invitation to address
the American Bar Association in Wash
ington. Formerly British Foreign Secre
tary and Viceroy of India, the Marquess
has risen to an eminence which no other
English Jew has equalled since the days
of the great Disraeli. Together with Sir
Herbert Samuel and David Lloyd George,
Reading forms a triumvirate of Liber
als who wield tremendous power, and
are often called upon to liberate their
government from the complex problems
in which it often finds itself. The Amen
can capital is showing its respect for the
man by the elaborate preparations which
it is making for his reception.
