before at the Algeciras conference
over Morocco, he turned the scales
toward French performance in
northwest Africa All of these eff
forts, it has been said, were taken in
view of the growing aggressiveness
of Germany and have added to Sir
Edwards fame as a far-sighted
diplomatist.
Less than four months before the
outbreak of the world war, on July
70, 1914, in prophetic character
study of the British foreign minister,
a well-known writer said: "Sir Ed
ward has guided England through
some anxious days. At the end Of
1911 the British fleet was out in the
North sea for three days and three
nights without lights and the decks
cleared for action. How the war
with Germany was avoided is as great
a mystery as how war with Germany
threatened. 1t was the second Incl
dent of it's sort since Sir Edward be-
came foreign secretary, and men do
not pass days of that kind and not
age. But he has kept the peace in
the days that are past and striven to
secure peace for the days that are to
come, and British relations with Ger
many seem happier today than ever
But if Sir Edward Grey ever has to
announce war he will do it in the
same calm, even tones with which
he would open a flower show
When, later in 1914, the war clouds
became positively ominous, Viscount
Grey proposed an ambassadorial con-
ference of all the representatives of
the European nations, and failing to
bring this about, when the time came
for other action he issued his almost
laconic statement that, in order to
"preserve the neutrality of Belgium"
Great Britain had entered upon a
state of war with Germany beginning
at II p. m. on August A." Later, in
an interview in London, he said Great
Britain and the allies were fighting
to end all war" The viscount has
long been an advocate of league of
nations, and is one of the chiefs of
the British organization for a league.
