Who amongst the following did not serve as secretary general of the League of nations?

Analyze the question: We need the person who was never Secretary General of the League of Nations.

Concept: The League of Nations (1920-1946) had only three Secretaries-General:

1. Sir James Eric Drummond (Britain), 1920-1933
2. Joseph Avenol (France), 1933-1940
3. Seán Lester (Ireland), 1940-1946. He was the last Secretary-General, and he had earlier been acting Secretary-General after Avenol resigned.

Check each option:

• A. Josip Broz Tito: He was the Yugoslav communist leader and later President of Yugoslavia. He never held any post in the League of Nations.
• B. Sean Lester: He served as the last Secretary-General.
• C. Joseph Avenoi (Avenol): He served as the second Secretary-General.
• D. Eric Drummond: He was the first Secretary-General.

Answer: Option A is correct. Tito was a Yugoslav statesman and had no connection to the League's secretariat.

Tip: Remember the League's Secretaries-General as D-A-L: Drummond, Avenol, Lester. Any name outside these three is the odd one out. Tito is also a good name to link with Yugoslavia and the Non-Aligned Movement, not the League.
