DEAN REBUKED
VIEWS ON RUSSIA CANONS TAKE EXCEPTION LONDON, March 16 Five residentiary canons of Canterbury Cathedral, in a letter to the Times,. dissociate themselves ''from tlie political utterances of the JDean of Canterbury, the Very Rev. Hewlett Johnson, which so often have given the impression, that he condones .Russia's offences against humanity and religion.
"We further thought it our duty to tell him that his political activities would gravely impair the cathedral's spiritual influence and grievously offend many Christians throughout the world, and were also proving themselves incompatible with the proper discharge of the trust committed to him."
