DIVERGENT CREEDS
A “WHITE” WAR? “It may be doubted whether even yet, the majority of sane and simple folk in this country have grasped what is the final issue of the struggle in which we find ourselves involved. For already we are involved. It is a ‘white war’ now, but at any moment it may become a bloody one. “Those who pin their faith to building up a ‘peace-front’ are often as far from realising the truth of those who
still hope for a settlement by negotiation, for the two sides confronting one another to-day are opposed not by reason of some political trick or economic necessity, but by something deeper. Their differences go down to a divergence in their whole outlook on man and the world. “We can only pray that in some way awakening may come before the tragedy ruins us all. But yield on the central point —of acquiescence in the Nazi faith and claim—we cannot, for that means N ihilism, the death, of our society, and of its very soul.”—“Yorkshire Post,” in an August issue.
