 「・・・第一次世界戦争<の>・・・平和会議がなおパリにおいて進行しつつありし間に、イギリスのハルデーン<(注33)>卿はブリストル大学の卒業式に臨み、戦後イギリスを負荷すべき青年に向って、世界戦の最大の教訓は『イギリスが次の戦争に備えねばならぬということだ』と演説している。

 (注33)Richard Burdon Haldane(1856~1928年)。’a British lawyer and philosopher and an influential Liberal and later Labour politician. He was Secretary of State for War between 1905 and 1912 during which time the “Haldane Reforms” of the British Army were implemented. As an intellectual he was fascinated with German thought. That led to his role in seeking detente with Germany in 1912 in the Haldane Mission. The mission was a failure and tensions with Berlin forced London to work more closely with Paris.
 Raised to the peerage as Viscount Haldane in 1911, he was Lord Chancellor between 1912 and 1915, when he was forced to resign because of allegations of German sympathies. He later joined the Labour Party and once again served as Lord Chancellor in 1924 in the first Labour administration. Apart from his legal and political careers, Haldane was also an influential writer on philosophy, in recognition of which he was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 1914.’

 それゆえにこの平和は、二度の行軍の間に暫く諸国民を休息せしむべき一停歩に過ぎなかった。」(30)

⇒引用された演説は、ホールデン(ハルデーン)が、その総長時代にブリストル大学で行ったものであろうところ、彼についての本のタイトルである’The Forgotten Statesman・・・’から、私だけではなく、現在の英国人にとってもホールデンという名前は知られていないということでしょうが、このような「超人」を私が知ることができたことを大川に感謝したいですね。
 ’Haldane remained a lifelong bachelor after his fiancée, Miss Valentine Ferguson, broke off their engagement. ‘

から、どうやら、彼、優しく傷つき易い超人だったようですが・・。(太田)
