THE SCOPE OF THE ',VAGUE OF NATIONS

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.1

Bin,--/ have followed with much interest your successful efforts (they have been in my case) to make known to the public the work of the League of Nations.

Hitherto I had taken the narrow view, that if two powerful nations decide to join in hostilities, the League would he unable to restrain them, and on this count of futility I took little interest in 'its work. But as I see now, the League has the opportunities to do good, such as the present investigation on the Traffic in Women and Children. This is ideal and well within its scope.

I will be glad if you will mention in your next article on the League the address of the publisher from whom verbatim reports, as issued by the League of Nations, can be obtained written in the English language.-1 am, Sir, &c., HENRY P.
