ARCHBISHOP’S OPINION
"WAR FOR CIVILISATION" (British Official Wireless) RUGBY, Jan. 19. In the Convocation of York, the Archbishop of York said; “ I cannot use the phrase ‘ a holy war,’ for war in its own nature is always an expression of the sin of man, but without hesitation I speak of this as for us a righteous war. It is indeed in a real sense a war for Christian civilisation. Systems. of thought and life in the German State to-day and its ambiguous associate, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, are systems intrinsically opposed to the Christian doctrine.”
