ANZAC DAY LECTURES.
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir, —I thank the secretary of the local branch of tho League of Nations for enlightening, even at the eleventh hour, th& public as to the fact that tho secular—mark tho word—address entitled ‘ls War Inevitable?’ was to bo held under the auspices of that body. When tho league advertised a lecture for last Anzac Day a deputation from the Returned Soldiers’ Association • waited on some of the executive and strongly protested against it being held. As the league already know the feeling of the association, what need was there "for the secretary—l wish to ho impersonal—to inquire this year? Was it likely that the association would have altered its views in regard to what it considered the proper way to keep in memory its 17,000 comrades who made the supreme sacrifice? Tho league refused to cancel tho lecture last year, and one cannot blamo the association for not wishing to run the risk of having its opinion ignored again.—l am, etc., V. G. Bryan Kino. April 27. "
