After they had studied a letter from Cardinal Mindszenty urging peace between the state and the church. The reports quoted by the Associated Press correspondent stated that the letter.was written after Cardinal Mindszenty’s trial. Protest Complaint on Attitude of British Government (Reuter —N.Z.P. A.) (Rec. 9.30-) LONDON, Feb. 19 The Protestant Truth Society sent to Mr Attlee and to all members of the British Cabinet a resolution criticising the British Government’s attitude towards the trial of Cardinal Mindszenty. The resolution said that world attention has been centred on that trial and this was “largely through intensive propaganda of the Vatican, which sought to befog the issue. The clash of these two great tyranical dictatorships, the Kremlin and the Vatican, both with unsavoury records for seeking to dominate those within their power, should have justified our Government in holding aloof.”
