The present article is showing and describing the activity of Oskar Halecki - a professor of the University of Warsaw - who was one of the most famous Polish historians of the 20th century, and who was known in public as a secretary of the League of Nations Committee on Intellectual Cooperation. Up till now the issue has not been the subject of thorough historical researches. The paper was prepared by dint of the analysis of source materials mainly from the Record Office in Geneva, Registry of UNESCO in Paris and the Manuscripts' Department of the Library of the Warsaw University. O. Halecki was a votary of the League of Nations and marked this fact already during the peace conference in Paris as an expert of Polish trip. In 1921, having been recommended by Inazo Nitobe - a general under-secretary of the League of Nations, a thirty-year-old professor Halecki was employed in Secretariat of organization. Having established in 1922 the League of Nations Committee on Intellectual Cooperation, which consisted of twelve eminent scholars from different countries, Halecki was appointed its secretary and acted till March 31, 1924. Very fast he found approval both of the League of Nations Committee's and Secretariat's members, especially thanks to his extreme activity, invention and keenness in organizing works of the Committee for the development of international intellectual cooperation. His great trump was also the fact he spoke several foreign languages. Halecki also backed up the idea of incorporating in international intellectual cooperation the new countries of East and Central Europe, and helping their scientific institutions. Halecki felt peculiarly obliged to Polish science. He wanted to ensure for Poland an adequate representation and participation in intellectual cooperation within the League of Nations. Thanks to his efforts Maria Sklodowska-Curie - a honorary professor of the University of Warsaw - became one of the members of the Committee as a representative of Polish science. Being the member of the Committee Sklodowska-Curie could count on permanent and varied help of Halecki, who paid much attention to establishing and activity of Polish 'national committee' on intellectual cooperation as a kind of the 'bond' both with the League of Nations Committee on Intellectual Cooperation and international intellectual life.

From the beginning, the year 1926 was oversaturated by the 'spirit of Locarno'. However, some serious proofs awaited the Locarno understanding. There were many hopes laid on the Locarno treaties. These treaties could have come into power only in connection with the German membership in the League of Nations. The process of Germany's admission met with several solemn complications. These complications jeopardized even the Locarno understanding and revealed the long lasting problems of the Geneva organization. Germany's admission represented an important change in international relations. The Czechoslovak minister of foreign affaires counted with the German membership in the League of Nations. He expected increased security in the region from this step. Locarno and Germany's admission closed one period of the post-war history. These two events had a great impact on the Czechoslovak position in the political arena, and also on Czechoslovak-German relations.

This paper, based on the research in the National Archive of the Czech Republic, analyses the European (and mainly Czechoslovak) way of imagining Ethiopia during the period of the Italian-Ethiopian tensions. It thus characterizes the period of the 1920s and early 1930s. For a detailed insight into the world of the media with regard to Ethiopia, a large number of newspapers is discussed. Though Ethiopia was a member of the League of Nations, her position within the then world was far from being equal. The way Ethiopia was imagined by Europe corresponds to the way Ethiopia was treated. This means that imagining distant places and distant people is always accompanied by stereotypes which in times of war may legitimize an action as was the case with Fascist Italy. As the war was nearing, Ethiopia gained more and more sympathies around the world which complicates some further generalization. The multi-dimensionality of images is thus the main aim of this work.

During the years 1922–1924, Professor Oskar Halecki participated in the activities of the League of Nations, initially as Secretary and then as expert of the International Commission for Intellectual Collaboration. He was particularly involved in measures undertaken towards creating an international system of publications exchange, which was guaranteed by the Brussels Convention of 1886. Halecki was among the chief contributors to the modification of that Convention, advocating updating of the requirements and needs of the international exchange of publications, especially in the sphere of learned materials. Some of the resolutions reached in this respect during the interwar period found actual implementation years later, in the 1961 Paris Convention, and are still in force. In Poland the Convention was officially recognized in 1971.

The letters of H. Bergson and Marie Skłodowska-Curie are to be found among the M. Curie papers kept at the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris (call nos. BN NAF 1844, fol. 227- 245). They were written during the years 1922-1925, and are relevant to organisational issues of the International Commission on Intellectual Cooperation of the League of Nations. The content of this correspondence involves neither the scientific interests of the two great scholars, nor their world view, but is concentrated chiefly on attempts at creating a system of international scientific bibliography and organizing the Institute of International Scientific Cooperation in Paris. Within this scope discussed are among other personal matters and the issues concerned with H. Bergson’s wish to resign the post of chairman of the Commission due to his declining health.
