In 1920, he served as the Honorable Secretary of the Staines Branch of the League of Nations Union; in 1921, as the Secretary of Delegations for the Oxford International Assembly; in 1925-1926 (and other years?), as the Treasurer of the Youth Section of the No More War Movement; and in 1927, as Competition Secretary for the Festival of Youth sponsored by the League of Nations Union.
