"THE SPECTATOR" OVERSEAS

StR,—As is probably already known to your readers, the Victoria League— founded in 1901 to promote the closer union of the people of the British Empire—has many activities. One of the most important of these is the despatch overseas of British publications of every kind. They act as a bridge between the lonely and homesick, and reduce distance as surely as they bring news from one part of the world to another ; so also do they contribute to a closer friendship between Britain and other members of our great family. May I ask, therefore, that those of your readers willing to send on their copies of your paper should write to me. The Victoria League will be more than grateful for all offers of help, and details regarding postage and addresses will be given with pleasure.—Yours
