Year ago, when the exhibition was first projected, sly Quo Taichi, Chinese Minister to London, pulled wires to have the Earl of Lytton made chairman of the committee. British museum authorities forgot that he was the same Lord Lytton who sponsored the 1932 League of Nations report condemning the Japanese rape of Manchuria (TIME, Oct. 10, 1932).

Lord Moynihan of the Royal College of Surgeons is pushing the "Right to Die" movement, backed by the Earl of Listowel and Lord Denman, onetime Governor General of Australia.
