LEAGUE OF NATIONS

- THE UNION APPEAL. FUNDS FOR NATIONAL EDUCATION CAMPAIGN. i Australian and NZ. Cable Association. LONDON. April 7. Interesting details of tho work of the League of Nations Union are furnished in a letter appealing for £1,000,000 for a national educational campaign on behalf of the league. The letter states that hundreds of meet- . iugs in support have already been organised on behalf of the league, twe . , hundred branches of ’ the union have been created, and two League of Nations periodicals, and many q>ampn« lots and booklets have been, published. The union is now engaged in preparing educational 'text books, and organising study circles for adults and children. The work is ho extensive .that it Is exceeding the scope of private generosity. ’ , T . , The signatories, who are viscount Grey, Mr Lloyd George, Earl Ucmtty. Mr Asquith, Lord Robert Cecil, Mr , j; R. . Glyncs, and General Hubert - Gough declare that if the world allowed - to relapse into pre-war antagonism and. ambitions it will bo the greatest. triumph of evil in ail tn« ’ ages They emphasise that if Great Britain does not support the league with' all her might and resources, the league will withof and die. - . ■., The, appeal is commented upon m the Press as the most helpful and promising support the cause of the Teague has vet received. The mimes of ‘'signatories of such diverse views are comparable only with the early days of the war, when the whole country was united in its prosecution.
