The letter states that hundreds of meetings in support have already 'benn organised on behalf of tlio League, two hundred- branches of the union have been created, and two League of Nations periodicals and many pamphlets and booklets havo been published. The union is now engaged in preparing educational text books, and oicnnisin; 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, Earl lieatty, Mr. Asqnitli, Lord Robert "Cecil, Mr. J. R. Clyncs, and General Hubert Giaigli, declare that if the world'is allowed to relapse into pre-war antagonisms and ambitions it 'will be the greatest tniii;i.pli 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 ami die. The appeal is commented upon in the Press as the most helpful and promising support the cause of the League lias yet received. The names of signatories "af such diverse views are comparable only wi':h the early days of the 'var, when the whole country was united ill its prosecution.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable. Assfl.
