most memorable moment in most people's memoirs of the paris peace conference was lawrence pleading to the arabs in his robes that the con con -- counsel of ten, prime ministers and presidents -- of the chief allied nations met at paris applauded him, something which they did for nobody else. he was willing to suffer, would have been willing to die for and was passionate for the arabs, but it must never be thought that he pretended in any way to be an arab or tried to pretend to be an raich or thought that -- an arab or thought that we could be an arab. he had the extraordinary ability to remain what he was, a short, pink-skinned blond, blue-eyed oxford englishman, and yet he was able to join into arab life to a most extraordinary degree. he had the capacity to do that. when he stopped, he almost ended it as if cut by a knife. when he left damascus in 1918 after he and faisal took damascus i and went back to england. he never intended to return to the middle east. he only went back, reluctantly, when winston churchill asked him to, and there is a wonderful scene -- two, actually -- in

and frankly, in paris we need to move on from a rather sterile debate which is the competition between london and paris and frankfurt for financial services business and realize that the real challenge for europe is to remain a competitive place to do business versus the united states and asia. that is the issue that we should have at the front of our minds, properly regulated financial services -- and we are changing the system of regulation in the u.k. -- proper international rules that are implemented by those who sign up to them. we have those rules on the table in basel. then competitive financial services that can help fund a recovery and growing world. indeed, that leads me to the broader question that europe needs to address in challenge including the united kingdom of how we remain a competitive place to do business first off. and i think there is a role in the european union in leading europe in a direction where it directly addresses some of the challenges this continent has, some structural problems in the economy, some of the barriers to competitiveness. because we realize
