LEAGUE OF NATIONS. GENERAL SMUTS'S PLEA FOR DISARMAMENT.
Four Dominion Prime Ministers-Kr. W. H. Hughes (Commonwealth of Aus tralia), Mr. Meighơn (Canada), "Mr. W. J. Massey (New Zealand), and General Smuts (Union of South Africa), as well as Mr. Sastri, representing India, ac cepted the invitation of the League of Nations Union to a dinner arranged in their honour, at the Hyde Park Hotel, on June 30th. The -chair was occupied by Viscount Grey of Falloden, a former Secretary of State for Foreign Adairs In all, there were between 400 and 700
guests.
The Chairman, proposing "The League of Nations," said the League had its srities. There were people who asked if it was possible that anything so now we really going to succeed.

Another thing that is wrong with the League is this: It appears to me, judging from a distanse of 6,000 miles, from such facts as filter through to me, that the League of Nations is not suiciently supported by the Great Powers.
