THE JUBILEE AND PEACE

[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.]

Sin,—In reading the programme of public events arranged in connexion with the Jubilee celebrations one is impressed by the fact that, while His Majesty will devote his time on three occasions to inspections of the armed forces of the Crown, no special function has been arranged at which our King may identify himself with the peaceful aspirations of his people.

Is it too late to suggest that, if only to reassure foreign observers, a mass meeting in Hyde Park or at the Albert Hall be arranged by the League of Nations Union in con- junction with kindred organizations at which His Majesty be invited to proclaim to the world the will for peace which exists among his subjects ?—Yours faithfully,
