THE PREVENTION OF WAR
TO THE EDITOR. Sir. —Your correspondent Mr G. Steel is quite in error in assuming that the presence of representatives of the Council of Christian Congregations at the meeting held in Dunedin last week to form an anti-war council in this city necessarily implied that they were joining forces 'with the movement. It is true that the president (the Rev. F. R. Paris) and ,1 were both in attendance, but we made it clear that we were there entirely' without prejudice and without committing our council to any platform that might be adopted. The same, I may say, applied to myself as representing the League of Nations Union. We were there in response to the courteous, invitation extended, but practically in the hapacity of observers to. take back mental notes and report to the organisations of, which we are members. The criticism by your'correspondent of identification of the cpuncil with this new movement, therefore, virtually falls to the ground. It is only, fair to the council that this explanation‘should be made.—l am, etc., H. E. BellhOuse, Secretary, Council of Christian Congregations. Dunedin, July 24.
