PEACE-

The third annual general meeting of the Hong Kong League of Nations Bociety was held at Helena May Institute last evening, Sir. William Shenton presided.

Halward (Secretary), Dr. Y. 8. War (Treasurer), Mr. R. O. H. Lim" and Rev. Frank Short,

In the course of his speech Bir William reviewed the activities of the League during the past year, war debts, the Manchurian troubles, Disarmaments, etc., and said that as a whole good and useful work had been done.

An appeal to the audience to look upon the League of Nations as the growing point for unity and peace rather than as a despot *was made by the Right Rev. Bishop Hall, and an interesting address ca the power of the League of Nations was delivered by Mr. R. O. H. Lim, the well-known barrister.

SECRETARY'S SPEECH

The Secretary, Rev. N. N. Hal- ward, said:-Since the last Annual Meeting held in April 1832, this Society has quietly and steadily progressed. The total membership stands at 133 which is an increase of 23 in numbers since last year. It must be borne in mind, of course, that each year the Society is bound to lose a certain number of mem- bers who leave the Colony for good. It is hoped that during the coming year all members will make #n effort to enroll at least one new

member.

THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH

Sir Willinga Shenton, the Presi. dent, said:-

Bishop Hall, Ladies and Gentle men:-

The world, Economic and Mone tary Conference will, we hope, meet this year when the whole position will come under review and wo hope, a final and lasting settlement will be arrived at both as regards reparations and war debts.

Another suggestion that has been made is the staging of a play in- eulcating League ideals. The diffi- culty at present is in finding suitable play, and the Society will be grateful for suggestions.

At meeting of the Membership Committee in May, it was suggest 'ed that various members, of " the Council should study diferent sec- tions of the League's activities with a view to their speaking on their particular subjects at say. small group meetings or study blrcles that might be arranged.
