THE WASHINGTOL4 EMBASSY

Sm,—I wonder why the name of Halifax was omitted from the last line of Mr. Nicolson's Marginal Comment in The Spectator of May 28th, and whether the omission was deliberate? Surely Lord Halifax's tenure of the Embassy at Washington for five years during the war entitles him to rank among the " great " Ambassadors?—Yours truly, C. E. MAUDE.
