LEAGUE OF NATIONS UNION.

AN EDUCATION CAMPAIGN

(Imperial News Service.)

London, April 7. Interesting details of the work of the League of Nations Union is furnished in a letter appealing for £1,000,----000 for a national education campaign on behalf of the League. The letter 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. Two League of Nations periodicals and many pamphlets and booklets have been published. The Union has now agreed on educational texfr-books, and is organising study circles for adults and children. The work is so extensive that it is exceeding the scope and private generosity of the signatories, who are Viscount Grey, Mr Lloyd George. Lord Beatty, Mr Asquith, Lord Robert Cecil, Mr J. R. Clvnes, and General Gough. The signatories declare that if the world is allowed to relapse into pre-war antagonisms and ambitions it will be; the greatest"'triumph of evil in all the ages. They emphasise that, if. Great Britain does not support the League with all hor Tni'eht and resources, the Leaorue will wither and die. The Press comment helpfully on the appeal and promise to support the cause.

The.signatories are of such diverse views that the list is comparable only with those seen in +he early days of thp war when the whole country was united in its prosecution.
