Letter from Consuelo Balsan [earlier Consuelo, Duchess of Marlborough] (2 Rue du General Lambert [Paris, France]) to WSC, remarking on how well his sane, rational speech on [Italy and Abyssinia, later Ethiopia, at the City Carlton Club] was received in France, and how all idealists such as 1st Lord Cecil [of Chelwood, earlier Lord Robert Cecil] and the Archbishop of Canterbury [Cosmo Lang] have achieved is to bring Hungary, Austria and Germany on to Italy's side. Balsan comments on rumours of war within the next 10 years, and urges WSC to try and make it understood that the League of Nations was not "formed as an instrument to create war". Manuscript.
