“I remember Sir Herbert Samuel’s telling at a League meeting the story of his finding outside of a hut in Palestine an old Turkish bayonet beaten into a reaping hook,” said Prof. Gilbert Murray, chairman of the Executive of the League of Nations Union and a member of the League’s Committee on Intellectual Cooperation, at special services in the Liberal Jewish Synagogue for the tenth anniversary of the League. Professor Gilbert said that “this fulfilment of Isaiah’s prophecy typifies the League’s work and is the reasonable ideal which the world is on the way towards achieving, but it mustn’t be confused with Isaiah’s prophecy of the wolf lying down with the lamb, which is only a dream.”
