Download or read book Prime Ministers and Presidents Classic Reprint written by Charles Hitchcock Sherrill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-22 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prime Ministers and Presidents Fortunate indeed were those Americans who were privileged during that conference to meet these foreign leaders. But those ministers so as sembled in Paris, far from home environment, their sense of authority cramped by the crowding of many others likewise in authority, were not, - could not be the personalities they are when in their own capitals they are conducting the government of their own countries. The time to see a machine is When it is installed and performing the service for which it was manufactured, not when it is on view in a World's Fair - not when it has its company man ners on, and it is occupying an exhibition space limited by the need for many similar spaces at the same fair. There is no manner of doubt that a Prime Minister or Minister for Foreign Affairs observed at some meeting in Paris, or in one of its numerous hotels crowded with other foreign guests, is a very different personality from the same man seated in his own Ministry with the emblems and atmosphere of dignity and power all about him.
