GERMAN MISSIONARIES.
IN BRITISH TERRITORIES
(Per Press. Association, Copyright.) LONDON, July 26. The secretary of the World Alliance for Promoting International Friendship through the Churches has written to the Colonial, Foreign and India Offices suggesting that German missionaries should be allowed to resume their work m certain British territories. Mr Winston Churchill, Colonial Secretary, replied that the war showed that certain foreign societies . and individuals were unable to prevent their national instincts' influencing their conduct to a degree incompatible with their proper functions, and prejudicial to the security of the territories m which they were working. Nevertheless, applications from individual missionaries of unimpeachable antecedents would be considered, provided the*- were under the control of > British, Allied, or Associated subjects, and vouched for by responsible British ecclesiastical authority. Circumstances m mandated, adjoining territories, ' however, were exceptional, requiring a degree of supervision which was not necessary elsewhere.
