THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

APPEAL FOR EDUCATION CAMPAIGN. 15y Telegraph.—Press Asm—Copyright. London, April 7. Interesting details of the work of the League of Nations is furnished in a letter ape-paling for £1,000,000 tor a national education campaign on -behalf of the League. It states that hundreds of meetings in support hsva already been organised on behalf of the League, and 200 branches of the Union have been created, and periodicals and many pamphlets and booklets published. The Union is now engaged 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 to the appeal, who are Viscount Grey, Mr. Lloyd George, Lord Beatty, Mr. Asquith, Lord Robert Cecil, Mr. Clynes, and General Hubert Gongh, declare that if the world is allowed "to relapre into its pre-war antagonism and ambitions, it will be the greatest tri- i umph of evil in nil 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 tlie cause of the League has yet received. The names of the signatories of such diverse views are comparable only with the early days of the war- when tlie whole country was united in its prosecution.—lmperial Service.
