PACIFIST FUNERAL
(To the Editor.) Sir,—The claim of Mr. Barrowclough at the Defence League Conference that pacifists are dead and dare not raise their heads is evidence either of lack of knowledge or of wish-fulfilment. The annual conference/ of the Christian Pacifist Society was reported in your columns only last month. The formation of a branch of the Peace Pledge Union in Wellington was also reported in "The Post" recently. It is already operating strongly in Christchurch. In Auckland itself, where Mr. Barrowclough hails from, as recently as September a public meeting was convened by pacifists, attended by some hundreds of people, and addressed by Professor Ralph Harlow, of U.S.A., also a Christian pacifist.
Premature funeral orations over pacifists only serve td emphasise how much alive they are. and what a vital, positive force they represent, being based on moral and constructive principles instead of on fear and destructive methods. —I am. etc.. . A. C. BARRINGTON. [H. G. Lyttle writes in similar terms.]
