on their Silver Jubilee

Unusual significance attaches this year to the forthcoming Con- gress of League of Nations So- cleties in Brussels. Great Britain is not the only country which feels that a special effert must bo made without delay to save the world from those precursors of wir-armaments competition and hostile alliances. Lenders of or- kantsed pence opinion in many Innda will put their hengs together at the Brussels conference and decide what steps are most likely to avert the future danger that prompt action along can dispel. The British League of Nationa Union, of course, will be in the forefront of the Congress, as be- fits the ploneer of Lengue societies. Even in Great Britain the exact standing of the L.N.U. is not al- ways properly understood. It is Kometimes confused with the League of Nations at Geneva. It is supposed to have branches in other countries. It is blamed for not trying to convert the people of uther landa to support the Lengue, Actually the Union is a voluntary British society, whose services in the cause of peace have been re- cognised by a Itoyal Charter. In some farty ofher countries there are similar sceletics linked to- gether in an International Federa- tion.

The XIXth Plenary Con- Kresa records its conviction that the only hope of solving the present international di- culties lies in the prompt and resolute appllention of the Covenant to each difficulty as it arises, and if possible be fore it assumes dangerous proportions; and the Congress is further convinced that the all round limitation and re- duction of national armaments by international agreement is essential to any satisfactory system of collective security,
