. LONDON, April 7. Interesting details of the work of the work of the League of Nations are furnished in a letter appealing for £1,000,000 for a national education campaign in behalf of the League. It states that hundreds of meetings in support have already been organised on behalf of the League, two, hundred branches of the union have been created, and two League of Nations periodicals- and many pamphlets and booklets, have been published.; T^he Union is now agreed on educational text-books, and is organising study, circles for adults and children. . The \york is so extensive that it is exceeding the. scope of .private generosity. The signatories—who are Viscount Grey, Mr Lloyd George, Admiral Beatty, Mr Asquith, Lord Robert Cecil, Mr e Clynes, and General Hubert Gough—declare that if the world ii 3 allowed to relapse into prewar antagonisms and ambitions ; it would be the greatest triumph of evil in all the ages. They emphasise the fact that if Great Britain does not support the League with all her might arid resources the' League, will wither and die. ~ '.. .-; . The appeal, is commented on by the press asfthe most helpful-.and promising support that the pause of the League has yet received. The names of -•< the signatories, men- <>i suqh diverse; views, are comparable* only with the early, idays of th© war,r when the whole country was united in its. prosecution. ..-..■■■ ;
