PEACE

Sir,—ln reference to the paragraph in “The Press” this morning titled “Mr R. Churchill’s Speeches.” and a resolution passed by the Railway Tradesmen’s Association, may I please be permitted a few words? The late General Lord Roberts as accused also of war-mongering propaganda before the First World War; and his warning was laughed at. Mr Churchill is quite right in the warning he is going to such trouble and expense to give to British peoples. There will be a war, the aggressor being Russia, against ourselves and the Jews. It will be fought in Palestine and God, in Whom we trust, will fight the battle for us with His the hail, etc. Let these railwaymen read their Bibles and they will see it is the only war prophesied therein. It will take place between now and 1953. Russia, by the way, is called in the Scriptures by her ancient name.—Yours, etc., C. McKAY. October 3, 1947.

Sir, —Summarising the multitude of written and verbal expressions made against the U.S.S.R. as the country responsible for a possible international conflict, which, incidentally, would be one of unimaginable destruction, one is compelled by force of logic to recognise that the threat of a breach of peace does not come from this country at all. Without much analysis, observers have no other alternative blit to recognise that the hysterical outbursts and innuendoes advocating war on the Soviet Union come from sources which openly advocate the Western block against this country. Should a suicidal conflict occur, it is obvious that the Truman-inspired war provocateurs could not escape the stigma and label of aggressors, and at this stage it behoves a responsibility on all intellectually honest minds to realise this vital truism. The touring mendicant on behalf of chaos and disorder confirms this deplorable situation.—Yours, etC ” D.H.C. October 13, 1947.

Sir, —Taking into consideration the state of the world to-day, is it not time we tried common sense? After 2000 years of Christianity with the millions spent and the thousands of people employed, the results do not seem to justify the time and money spent. j „ Thomas Hardy put it in a nutshell when he said: Peace on earth, we sing it And pay a million priests to bring it, and After two thousand years of mass, We’ve got as far as poison gas. The time spent in prayer would give better results if used growing potatoes.—Yours, etc.. RATIONALIST. October 3, 1947.
