Sir Ronald Lindsay has done admirable work at Con- stantinople

and at Angora, where he has now gone to take leave and to effect the exchange of ratifications of the Mosid Treaty, which naturally owes much to him. If we did not think that his work there was for the moment completed, we should regret his transfer. As it is we expect great success for him in Berlin. He will be succeeded in Turkey by H.M.'s first Minister at Prague, Sir George Clerk, who was on the staff of the Embassy at Constantinople before the War. He is best known for the very successful missions on which he was sent to Bukarest and Budapest in 1919. He was then in Paris with Lord Balfour, who picked him out to act for the Supreme Council in matters that needed considerable firmness and tact.
