LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
(BY Cable.) GREAT PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. LONDON", April 7. Interesting details of the work of the League of Nations are furnished in a letter appealing for £1,000,000 for a national education campaign on behalf of the league. It states that hundreds of meetings in support have already been organised on behalf of the league, 200 branches of a union have been created, while two League of Nations periodicals and many pamphlets and booklets have been published. The union is now agreed on educational text-books, and is organising study circles for adults and children. The work is so extensive that it is exceeding the scope of private generosity. The signatories, who are Viscount Grey, Mr Lloyd George, Lord Beatty, Mr Asquith, Lord Robert Cecil, Mr Clynes, and General Hubert Gough, declare that if the world is allowed to relapse into its pre-war antagonisms and ambitions it would be the greatest triumph of evil in all the ages. They emphasise that if Great Britain does not support the league with all her might and resources the league will wither and die. The appeal is commented on by the press as the most helpful and promising support the cause of the League has yet received. The names 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.
