(Continued from Page One I the day of noble lords occupying No. 10 Downing Street had set Prime Ministers no long r wert nominated from the urtisto: racy but from the Commons. Trained nt Oxford. Like many other young men whe came to be statesmen of the llritisl Empire and peers of the realm. Lore I Curzon was trafned at Eton an, llalllol Colege. Oxford. At the lat ter he was president of the Union the all-embracing students' organi zation, many of whose leaders ir after life became prominent. Upon quitting the cloisters of Ox ford with high honors, young Cur - zon polished off his university edu - cation with travel Having becomi familiar with Paris, Home, Vienni and the Rhine during his vacation: r at Oxford, he passed three place: by for more extensive tours an, ■went into Central Asia, to Persia Siam, Korea, Indo-China and th< - Pamrs. He had the leisure and th< purse and the purpose of a gentle man and traveled with thorough ness, reading volumes beforehunt and then recording his own discov eries and impressions for futun books. r Returning home in 1885 he en tered politics as one of the prtvati secretaries of Marquess Salisbury then the Prime Minister. He stoot :r for Parliament immediately In Soutl ~ Derbyshire, but was defeated. Thet turning to the constituency of th< 5 Southport division of Lancashire h< :i Was elected and continued to rep ~i j-eseot that division until 1898 when he waB made a liaron. In hie s'xth year in the Holme of Com mons Curzon received u post In the government, being made l.'nder-Sec retary of State for India. At that time he was only 22 years old. His political achievements brought him promotion to Hnder-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and a few months after lie was made liaron in l.xiis lie was sent to India as Viceroy and Governor-General, a post he re tained until lit or,. Lord Curzon mail" a notable record in India. Ills regime having been highly satis factory to both the ruling race and the native. , Manv Honors Conferred. In the yeuis i.iat followed many j honors were conferred itphn him. Oxford made him Lord Chancellor | in 1007 and the next year Glasgow i made him Lord Rector. The honor ary degree of Doctor of Laws was . | conferred hy Cambridge. Monchester, ! Glasgow and Durhaih In lllll the I King raised him to a Viscount and | the Royal Geograph.cal Society el S acted him president, which office he | filled for three years. Lord Curzon was named one of I the imperial war cabinet members I in the Lloyd-George coalition gov ernment and was made leader of the I House of Lords 4u 1916. lie con tinued in that position throughout ■ tlie war and the reconstruction per : iod. l'e became Secretary of Stall ; for Foreign Affairs In 1919 am i continued in that office in thi Bonur Law government after thi Lloyd-George rule had been smashei - by the Tories. Meanwhile he hai {risen two more steps in the peeragi j—to an Earldom and then to a Mar i quisate. There remained only i Dukedom to lie obtained and Lori 'Curzon generally was credited wltl a burning ambition to achieve thii highest of title for those outside ol , royal blood. Ministerial Ambitions. It was at Hint time that his ac rumlation of honors operate! against Lord Curzon in his nmbitior to become British Prime Minister When Bonar Law retired In 1923 - because of ill-health there was be sides Lord Curzon only one othei man regarded as likely for the posl .■•'•■..........Ill, — Stanley' Buldwin. In Curzon's fuvor there was his long and not able record In politics and the gov ernment "service, while Baldwin vir tually was a novice in politics, hut had proved u strong Chancellor of the Exchequer who had settled the American debt question witli honor and satisfaction. Weighing In op position to Curzon was the new twentieth century tradition against appinting us Premier a peer who could not meet attacks on the gov ernment in the House of Commons. Hence, Mr. Baldwin, being a Com moner, received the place. Helped on Peace Pact. Lord Curzon consented to remain ill tlie Foreign Office in the Baldwin government. He went to Lausanne to lead the Allies In making their i peace treaty with the Turks, who ] had re-entered Europe and avenged against the Creeks the expulsion of the crescent from Europe in the World War.The treaty let the Turks back into Europe and returned to ! thefn a large part of what they had I lost in the war. For thts Lord Cur zon was severely criticized and in the grumbling that preceded the fail of the Tories and the rise of the ; Labor government in the winter of 1 (123-24 much of the dissatisfaction was directed against him. With the full of the Conservative government LoTd Curzon we* ob lliged to relinquish hi ft post as For eign Secretary. Some persons I thought that in the Prime Mlhls I Iter’s parting page of honors the i name of Curzon would head the j list, with a Dukedom at last. Bui there was no Dhkedotu in the list. | Lord Curzon was born at Kedles | ton, January II, 1869, the eldest son of the Hev. Alfred Nathaniel j Curzon, the fourth Baron Scarsdale.
