ADDRESS OF PROTEST
FROM ALL CHURCHES IN BRITAIN. (Received 13th April, noon.) LONDON, 12th April. A protest, signed by the Archbishopß of Canterbury and York, Cardinal Bourne, the Chief Rabbi, General Booth, and the heads of all the Nonconformist Churches, addressed to all men and women of goodwill, has been issued from Lambeth Palace, declaring that the ruthless warfare of the Soviet against all forms of religious belief has come to a head. "Hundreds of thousands of religious people and ministers of religion of all ranks and creeds have been subjected to a savage persecution for ■ the express purpose to root religion out of the land. A fresh illustration of this is seen in the present trial for their lives of the chief religious leaders in Russia. Such a policy cannot be tolerated in silence by those valuing religion or liberty. We are confident that our protest will evoke response everywhere."
