John W. Wheeler-Bennett, son of the High Sheriff of Kent, who has been making a world tour to discover what people outside Britain think of the League of Nations, left the U. S. for his native land.

He said there is a " strong sentiment for the League all over the world." In England there are more than 200,000 members of the League of Nations Union, "and the movement is growing rapidly."
