Lord Robert Coming

Lord Robert Cecil, ardent supporter of the League of Nations and prominent Conservative M. P., will leave England March 21 on board the Majestic for a visit to New York and other American cities.

The object of the statesman's visit is of an unofficial nature, but he will be ready to give his views on the League if called upon to do so.

Third son of the third Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Robert has had wide experience in dealing with foreign affairs. From 1886 to 1888 he was private secretary to his father, who was Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary at that time. He has also been Parliamentary Under-Secretary and Assistant Secretary of Foreign Affairs. Besides being a politician and a statesman, he is both a scholar and a lawyer, author of several books and a Bencher of the Inner Temple--the highest honor obtainable in the ancient Law Colleges.
