A public meeting of the League of Youth wag held recently at the City Temple. The object of the League is to induce young men and young women to engage in the "high adventure" of social and political service and action. A message on behalf of the Duke of York was read, which said:—
"Youth, with its spirit of fresh courage, and) with experience gained and mellowed in the forcing-house of war, is one of the greatest hopes of making a better-ordered world in a happier future. The Duke hopes the demonstration will be a great success, and wishes the League of Youth prosperity and every possible success in this national and imperial task."
Lord Askwith said the field before a League like that was a vast one. Cooperation between Capital and Labour and not hatred should be fostered, and they should take up the ideals which had been suggested by the Duke of York.
