A HOLY WAR
NEW CHRISTIAN ORDER POPE'S PEACE POINTS ACCEPTED BY BRITISH CLERGY (Rec. 8 p.m.) LONDON, May 11. Cardinal Hinsley presided at a meeting to-day in support of "an agreed Christian order." This meeting and another over which the Archbishop of Canterbury is expected to preside tomorrow followed a recent letter to The Times when the Christian leaders of this country accepted the Pope's peace points. In the course of his speech, Cardinal Hinsley said: " We have one great purpose in which we are unshaken and undivided —against the onslaught of brute force we will uphold the fundamental principles of personal, national, and international freedom to the last. We renew the appeal of the Pope to all men of goodwill—to all who believe m God—that they combine in loyal and hearty collaboration in order to ward off from mankind the danger that threatens all alike."
After the Bishop of Chichester had addressed the meeting a resolution was carried urging the Government, the British Commonwealth, and the Allied associated Governments to adopt the 10 points of the letter as the basis of anyfuture statement on war and peace aims.
