See Blades' obituary in The Times, 25 May 1953 ('Lord Ebbisham | A Notable Lord Mayor of London'). 5pp., 12mo. On five leaves attached to one another through punch holes to a corner. Addressed to 'My Lords and Gentlemen'. In his reply to the toast he wishes to say 'a few words on the subject upon which Lord Reading has just made such a magnificent speech', i.e. 'the World's Peace'. He speculates on what peace would have been 'dictated to us had the enemy won the war. Doubtless their peace terms are still pigeon-holed in the Foreign Office at Berlin. [] In any case, we should all have been put to much inconvenience. | Just picture to yourselves the horror with which the British printers would have received their orders to set up proclamations and other such-like disagreeable documents in the German type. Well luckily they are saved from the realization of such a nightmare and they can take comfort in the fact that a large staff of British printers are daily busily engaged in producing an excellent English newspaper in Cologne.' He discusses the need to 'repair the devastation of the past 4 ½ years', and the 'formidable task of national and inter-national reconstruction'. A passage on the League of Nations and 'the Worlds peace' is added in pencil, and the speech concludes: 'I am very pleased to see Mr. Hawker and Lieut-Commander Grieve as our guests here to-night, and I am sure that you will all join with me in extending to them both our heartiest congratulations on their very plucky attempt to fly the Atlantic, and on their safe return to England. [] Our very best wishes go to them for better luck next time.' Hawker and Grieve made the first attempt to cross the Atlantic by air. They left St. John's, Newfoundland, on 1 May 1919, and crash landed 1,100 miles of the coast.
