H.E. THE GOVERNOR expressed the thanks! of the audience to Dr. Hodgkin for his interesting aid eloquent address. Dr. Hodgkin had painted authe thought, the one remedy for the present deplor of a spirit of unity, sympathy and have able state of civilisition-the cultivation bets een-nations as well as individuals, It ainst be confessed that the results of the last year had not shown that the work of the League of Nations wis likely to have any very immediate effect, at present, in forwarding the cause of the reconstruction of the civilisation so greatly damaged by the war. The ex planation might be that the League had not sufficient, driving power; it had been' represented by too many as the toy of statesmen and diplomatists. If the League of Nations was to be the success that everybody desired, it must have the driv ing power of the peoples of the countries behind it. In order that it might become! a living thing it was necessary that everyone should put aside the bard feel ings of the past and cultivate a spirit. of unity and sympathy with other nations. If that spirit could be extended. he would not despair of seeing the League: of Nations do a great work towards the saving of civilisation,
The meeting concluded with the “bene- diction, pronounced by the Bishop of Vie toria.
