BRITISH HERITAGE OF LIBERTY.
THE PRIMATE’S COMMENT. The Archbishop of Canterbury was made an honorary freeman of Leicester in July. The Lord Mayor (Aiderman E. Grimslev) in handing him the casket, paid a tribute to his unwearying labour on behalf of peace, international disarmament, the housing of the people, and the coming together
of the Church of England and tho Free Churches. In returning thanks the Archbishop said lie hoped that the connection between freedom and citizenship would long continue in Britain. “When we turn to other countries,” he said, “in point of education as great as—perhaps superior to —our own, from the point of power and effectiveness as great, wo see that everywhere freedom is
j being curtailed, if not crushed, for j reasons of efficiency and national am- | bition. I am confident- that no citizens i of this country will ever barter their freedom for mere efficiency, still less I for national aggrandisement, and that ! they will never be items in any mere industrial or political machine.”
