In spite of the great eloquence, industry, intelligence, and many activities of the delegates, there was, in that cosmopolitan and cynical body, the Secretariat, a tendency to regard them, en masse, rather as children to be kept in order, though to be given a reasonable amount of liberty in such harmless amusements as talking on platforms.
Spensonly for propelling honoured parent head first out of job, and idea for striking blow at British prestige. We had our office in private bungalow in those days before new Secretariat was built, and it was unhealthy bungalow in which no one would live because they died. "Mr. Spensonly didn't care, and he had office on top floor, but bottom floor was clerks' office who went away at night also.
Perhaps it had been done, and perhaps the committee would never be the wiser. Or perhaps there would be a public exposé.... That would be interesting. Public exposés were always interesting. Henry's drifting glance strayed to the platform, where the Secretariat staff sat, or went in and out through the folding door.
I am here with solid, documentary evidence. I have it in this case." He opened his shabby dispatch case, and showed it full of papers. "It implicates," he continued, "an individual who holds a distinguished position on the staff of the Secretariat." M. Croza leant forward, interested, stimulated, not displeased. "You amaze me," he said. "Take a note, Alvarez, if you please."
It was all oddly haphazard, full of interest and surprises; all of us were a little out of our bearings, but much disposed to reconnoitre in the spirit of friendly advance. After the first day of Sir Horace Plunkett's chairmanship there was an adjournment of something like a fortnight to give the Chairman and secretariat time for preparation: and in this interval a plan of action was formed.
The action of the League under this Covenant shall be effected through the instrumentality of an Assembly and of a Council, with a permanent Secretariat. The Assembly shall consist of Representatives of the Members of the League. The Assembly shall meet at stated intervals and from time to time as occasion may require at the Seat of the League or at such other place as may be decided upon.
Two weeks before departure time, however, Cameron was called to the office of Professor Fothergill. As he entered he found a third man present, wearing a uniform he recognized at once as belonging to the Council Secretariat. "I'll wait outside," he said abruptly as Fothergill turned. "I got your message and came right over. I didn't know " "Sit down," said Fothergill. "Cameron, this is Mr.
The ushers, the personnel of the Secretariat, the guards and janitors, treated him with deferential intimacy, as a comrade on a somewhat higher level, but as much of a fixture as they were to the Spanish Congress.
Ties binding the Bahá’í International Community to the United Nations reinforced through participation in European Regional Conference of nongovernmental organizations in Geneva; and in Latin American Conferences in Chile, Uruguay; and in similar conferences in Kansas and Lake Success; through submission in response to the request of the UNO Committee of statement on the Bahá’í concept and method of community worship, subsequently transmitted to the Secretariat responsible for the planning of permanent headquarters in the United Nations.
Such a system may be wise and conducive to the highest aims, but it can hardly be termed democratic. The military Powers who command twelve million soldiers will possess a majority in the Council. The Secretariat alone will be permanent, and will naturally be appointed by the Great Powers. Instead of abolishing war, the Conference described its abolition as beyond the power of man to compass.
