Two Male Diplomats Talking on Their Way Into St James's Palace, London, for a Meeting of the League of Nations, 1920. 'In the courtyard of London's St James's Palace, diplomats came and went, as as the nations decided the shape and form of a new international organisation. Its title: the League of Nations...no Americans were to be seen...the United States had decided to keep out of Europe's future affairs. A decision to prove in the long run, not only a pity, but a disaster'. From "Time To Remember - The Plunge Into Peace", 1920 (Reel 1); events of 1920 - weddings, women's rights, industrial unrest and problems in Ireland
