TELEGRAPH. TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1932.
"I ask you to be bold enough to conceive a new world, a world in which there will be justice and peace. The struggle must not be to kill the weaker prople, bat must be to help them reach the more for same plane as their tunate brethren."
These remarks were made by Mr. R. C. H. Lim, B.A.. LL.B., in the courre of a brilliant lecture on the League of Nations at the H.K. University Union Assembly lall last night. The meeting. which filled the hal to overflowing, was presided over by the Presi- dent of the Univeralty Union, Mr. K. T. Loke, who Introduced the spencer with a few we-chosen words.
AL the commencement of his lecture; Mr. Lim traced the genesis of the League of Nations, which originally formed by Mr. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, in 1919. It was a fact to be deplored that the United States was not a member of the League, al strong nation, Soviet Russia, was outside. The fact that these two antions were not members of Eve Lengue has done more than any thing to weaken its influence, he Landd,
also that another
Article X of the Covenant of the League guarantees to ench country their existing boundary lines and also guaranteea the ter ritorial integrity of all nation. It was, and to the mind of the aponker, still is, this Article that bos kept the United States outside the Lengue, for Awwrien cannot retain the Moure doctrine and be Learne at the a member of the same time.
