LEAGUE FOR PEACE.

WOMEN'S MEETING. BULLETINS FROM ABROAD. The usual monthly meeting of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom was held at the Fabian Club, Mrs. Humphreys presiding. The secretary's action in sending greetings and a bouquet to Miss Crawford, a member of the Canadian section of the league, who paesed through Auckland this week, was approved by the meeting. Appreciation of the women of Holland's magnificent demonstration on Goodwill Day (May 18), was expressed, messages of co-operation for peace and goodwill being received by the Women's Peace League there from women's societies in all parts of the world. The International Peace Campaign's bulletins reroived since last meeting contained news of the peace movement throughout the world, and included a verbatim report of a speech delivered by Lord Cecil before the Nobel Peace Prize Committee at Oslo by invitation of the committee, which had conferred the Nobel Peace Prize for 1937 upon him.

Mrs. Treby gave a summary of Mr. Vernon Bartlett's description of China ae he found it on hie recent visit ae an envoy from the International Peace Campaign. Although depressing, the talk was most informative, and Mrs. Treby received a hearty vote of thanks. It was agreed that at the next meeting addresses will be given on the recent Peasante' Conference in Europe and the Duchese of Hamilton's pamphlet on "Peace."

At a recent meeting held at Mrs. Anderton's house, the corresponding- and recording secretaries of the league, Mesdames Gibson and Wynn, were presented by the members with beautiful crystal ornaments ae a token of the esteem in which they are held.
