THE OVERSEAS LEAGUE.

GOVERNOR APPEALS FOR SUPPORT.

"AT HOME."

His Excellency the Governor, Sir William Peel, wound up an Intereating recapitulation of tho history of the Overseas League with a strong appeal for wider support

sort of the movement, whon he addressed Hongkong members of the League at an "At Home" held yesterday in the Helena May Institute.

After ten had been served, Sir William Hornell, who was support- ed on the platform by the Hon. Mr. E. R. Halifax and the Rov. N. V. Halward, drew the attention of the audience to the advantages and Amenities offered by the Overseas League, particularly when local members, were on furlough.'*

I

Sir. William Peel, in addressing the gathering said:"

Ladies and gentlemen.-I have been asked to any a few words in support of an appeal to those pre- sent who are not members of the Overseas League to become mem- to bers as soon as possible, and those here who are members to do their best to obtain recruits. My

has been lightened by the in- troductory remarks, of my friend Sir William Hornell. My wife and joined the Lengue in 1925 at the Invitation of Mr. Erle Rice, who as staying with us at the time Penang when he was on tour as travelling Secretary of the League. He has

now become Assistant Secretary after doing an immense Amount of work in his former capacity. Some of you here knew M

Rice when he was Private Secretary to Sir Reginald Stubbs, and will probably therefore agree with me when I say that it is a pity that he is not here today, for I feel sure that his persuasive charm would achieve greater results than any remarks that I may make.

Institution of Lengue.

The Leagite was instituted by the present Secretary, Mr. Evelyn Wrench, and it may be regarded as his life's greatest interest. in 1912 and 1913 he made an Empire tour and in support of the League,

travelled over 64,000 miles, an In- dication of his great enthusiasm. In

starting this League he was in- spired by the story and life ideals of, Cecil Rhodes, who may be de- scribed as one of the greatest Em- pire builders in our history. It is a great tribute to the latter's per- sonality that the inception of such

League as this was due to his in- spiration, even though he himself had passed away,

The League was started in 1910, and received the Royal Charter in 1922. His Majesty the King is Patron of the League, while one of the Vice-Patrons is His Royal High-" ness the Prince of Wales, who as you all know has done more strengthen the links of our Empire thian perhaps any other man of modern times. Among its Vice- Presidents are to be found the
