RETRIBUTION AND VENGEANCE
j ARCHBISHOP OF YORK SPEAKS Rugby, Jan., 22. Drawing a distinction between retribution and vengeance the Archbishop of York in a presidential address to the Convocation of York said the name of Germany was increasingly becoming for civilised peoples a name of hatred and execration. There must be punishment for her crimes. Mr Churchill was undoubtedly right when he included retribution among the war aims, but it was easy to slide from retribution into the desire to exact vengeance which was naked evil, producing bitterness and finally a retaliatory war, besides corroding the soul of him indulging in vengeance. It was natural for men under a strain to raise a cry of vengeance. We must be ready for this, but not yield to it.— U.P.A.
