LONDON, juno i1.-British hackers OF
the League Of Nations will inaugurate
a public campaign Friday night in Al
bert Hail in support of the covenan
which forms the first chapter Of the
League Of Nations
The Times publishes this morning ex-
clusively the following letter of Presi-
dent Wilson to the British League OF
Nations Union, copies Of which will be
circulated at the Transportation in Al
bert Hall:
The signing of the League of Nations
covenant Ii the first formal step toward
the establishment OF an effective league
or nations 1t is Of vital moment that
both present and future generations
should understand and support Il in
spirit even more than in letter. I'm
informed opinion among the nations
signatory to the covenant might be a
standing menace to the peace of the
world.
THE task of regeneratng the minds
and will Of the associated peoples needs
to be taken in hand and pursued with
out respite, SO that all may see how
great Is the potentiality of the leagu
for the promotion of international con-
cord and cooperation in progress
THE present opportunity Is without
parallel in human history. I under
stand that the British League of Nations
Union Is striving to use It to the full
among the peoples of the British Isles
and of overseas dominions. trust that
its labors may be fruitful and may serve
to stimulate the zeal of sister societies
In all associated countries Peace can
be insured only by constant work and
conscious support Of righteous covenants
freely entered into. No work Is nobler
and none moro urgent"
Lord Percy Praises League.
In connection with the Albert Hall
demonstration Lord Eustace Percy. a
member of the executive committee OF
the league, prepared the following state

service:
THE League OF Nations has been
widely preached for the last four years
Until recently the idea had that kind
OF dangerous success which arises
from a lack Of opposition. For ions
time Its advocates were usually so elo-
quent that they said nothing which any
one could contradict Sceptics regarded
1t as, at worst, only an amiable delusior
which would fade before the touch OF
hard facts when once peace came to be
actually negotiated. But It has no,
