THE PEACE BALLOT
[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.] SIR,—On Thursday, June 27th, at the Royal Albert Hall, London, we are to learn the final figures in the Ballot on the League of Nations and Armaments that has been in progress during the past nine months.
Thanks to the help of five hundred thousand volunteers, well over ten million votes have already been recorded in favour of League principles and the collective system of ensuring Peace.
Many tons of ballot forms have had to be issued from the head office in London. It has come to my notice that, thanks to the many donors of sums ranging from a shilling to a thousand pounds, the whole expenditure that has had to be
incurred at headquarters has now been met save for £468. There will be many of your readers, I feel sure, who share with me the hope that when Lord Cecil announces the final results, he may also be in a position to state that the balance now outstanding has been cleared. Those wishing to con- tribute, however small the sum, should write without delay direct to Lord Cecil at 16 South Eaton Place, London, S.W.1. They will have the satisfaction of participating in the carrying through of a great piece of work to a triumphant conclusion.— Yours truly, Little House, D'Oyley Street, S.W.1. PHILIP GIBBS.
