OXFORD GROUP
REGISTRATION OPPOSED
MR. A. P. HERBERT’S MOVE
LONDON, Feb. 21
Mr. A. P. Herbert (Inch), who is one of the members for Oxford University, asked the President of the Boai cl of'Trade, Mr Oliver. Stanley, in the House of Commons whether he knew that certain persons associated with Mr. Frank Buchman, leader of the Oxford Groups, had applied for a license to form a company named the Oxford Group.
Mr. Herbert asked whether Mr. Stanley would refuse on the ground that it was likely to mislead people into thinking that the group had some connection with Oxford University. The Parliamentary Secretary of the Board of Trade, Mr. R. H. Cross, replied that the board was already considering representations that had been made against the registration.
Mr. Buchman, who was born in Pennsylvania in 1878, visited Oxford in 1921, where, in Christ Church, the Oxford Group was founded. He claims that it has since spread to 60 countries.
