Archbishop Proud Of Russian Ally

[British Official Wireless] (Rec. 11 a.m. RUGBY, Oct. 6. Pride in Russia as an ally was expressed by the Archbishop of Canterbury at a diocesan conference. The Primate said he felt that the new spirit which had been shown in l'ecent years by Soviet leaders and the fuller plan which had been given by them to religious toleration was a matter for congratulation. In view of the mighty issues at stake it was rather the present and the future which must be spoken of than the past, and what now concerned the British people was not any party or economic system, but the new and most moving uprising of the whole Russian people.

Each Have Something to Learn

‘“Who can tell what effect it may have upon ordering the post-war world of closer relationship between, on the one hand, Russia, united by affliction and emancipated from the errors of the past, and, on the other, the British Commonwealth and the United States.” “We have something to learn from Russia in bold and far-seeing planning of economic resources for the good of the whole community. They have something to learn from us in giving scope for freedom and responsibility of human personality.”
