THE DUKE OF NORTHUMBERLAND AND THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]
SIR,—Your readers can judge for themselves of the relevancy of the Duke of Northumberland's remarks and criticisms. There are none so blind as those who won't see, and it is significant that our leading statesmen are unanimous in their support of what the Duke condemns. The last Imperial Conference recorded its emphatic approval and unabated support of the League of Nations, whilst the leaders of all political parties, in reply to an enquiry addressed to them during the recent election by the League of Nations Union, have once more declared themselves unanimously in its favour. The British public are pretty shrewd judges and are quite competent to decide between the opinion of statesmen who really know, and of one whose remarks reveal such ignorance not only of the League's organization and work, but also of what it has actually accomplished. It is, indeed, fortunate for this country and for the cause of future world peace that the policy of the League of Nations is assured of the whole-hearted support of whatever Government is to be in charge of our affairs.—I am, Sir, &c., S. R. DRURY-LOWE, Rear-Admiral.
