-Caveat Lector-
Lord Harlech's family name is Ormsby-Gore. I haven't been able to find out
if Al's family may be connected somehow.

Tanjug, 1998-05-05
Member of the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) Executive Committee Goran
Percevic received on Tuesday Lord Harlech, Member of the House of Commons
and Secretary of the British-Yugoslav Parliamentary Group.
Percevic set out that some members of the international community should
publicly, in words and deeds, condemn separatism and terrorism in Serbia's
southern province of Kosovo and Metohija, demonstrate their commitment to
the basic principles of the U.N. Charter and in that way contribute to peace
and stability in the Balkans, an SPS statement said.
Unprincipled pressures on and threats of a state which is safeguarding its
sovereignty and integrity and which accepts and in practice applies highest
international standards in terms of minority rights are only an
encouragement to separatist activities and terrorist operations in Kosovo
and Metohija, Percevic stressed.
He said that state authorities were capable of efficaciously combating
terrorism and all other attempts at undermining the legal order and that
they enjoyed the united support of all citizens of Serbia in that.
Percevic stressed in the talk with Lord Harlech that the Serbian Government
had unequivocally shown its will for all issues in Kosovo and Metohija to be
resolved peacefully, through dialogue.
The promotion of political relations and development of economic cooperation
between Yugoslavia and Great Britain were also discussed in the meeting.

The mandates article of the final Covenant of the League (Article 22) was
drafted by Smuts and Kerr (according to Temperley) and was introduced by
Smuts to the League Commission of the Peace Conference. The mandates
themselves were granted under conditions drawn up by Lord Milner. Since it
was felt that this should be done on an international basis, the Milner
drafts were not accepted at once but were submitted to an international
committee of five members meeting in London. On this committee Milner was
chairman and sole British member and succeeded in having his drafts
accepted.
The execution of the terms of the mandates were under the supervision
of a Permanent Mandates Commission of nine members (later ten). The British
member of this commission was always of the Milner Group, as can be seen
from the following list:
W. G. A. Ormsby-Gore, February 1921-July 1923 [This was a
previous Lord Harlech]
Lord Lugard, July 1923-July 1936
Lord Hailey, September 1936-March 1939
Lord Hankey, May 1939-September 1939
Lord Hailey, September 1939
The origins and the supervision power of the mandates system were thus
largely a result of the activities of the Milner Group. This applied to
Palestine as well as the other mandates. Palestine, however, had a peculiar
position among mandates because of the Balfour Declaration of 1917, which
states that Britain would regard with favor the establishment of a national
home for the Jews in Palestine. This declaration, which is always known as
the Balfour Declaration, should rather be called "the Milner Declaration,"
since Milner was the actual draftsman and was, apparently, its chief
supporter in the War Cabinet. This fact was not made public until 21 July
1937. At that time Ormsby-Gore, speaking for the government in Commons,
said, "The draft as originally put up by Lord Balfour was not the final
draft approved by the War Cabinet. The particular draft assented to by the
War Cabinet and afterwards by the Allied Governments and by the United
States . .. and finally embodied in the Mandate, happens to have been
drafted by Lord Milner. The actual final draft had to be issued in the name
of the Foreign Secretary, but the actual draftsman was Lord Milner." Milner
had referred to this fact in a typically indirect and modest fashion in the
House of Lords on 27 June 1923, when he said, "I was a party to the Balfour
Declaration." In the War Cabinet, at the time, he received strong support
from General Smuts.Once the mandate was set up, also in terms drafted by
Milner, the Milner Group took little actual part in the administration of
Palestine."[8]
The idea of establishing a national home for the Jews in Palestine would be
the same idea as establishing a national home for blacks in Africa.
