“TRUCE OF GOD”
MR. LANSBURY’S PLAN ARCHBISHOP OF WESTMINSTER IN REPLY Received Aug. 22, 7.30 p.m. LONDON, Aug. 22. Doctor Hinsley, Archbishop of Westminster, in reply to the “Truce of God” appeal, in a letter to the Times, asks: “What excuse* can there be for even war in self-defence when the machinery to secure justice and peace suggested by Benedict XV. is embodied in the League of Nations and a world court has been established and is capable of functioning?” He recalls that. Pius -XL, in 1933, omphatitally summoned the world to true peace, and condemned time and again the race for armaments, and still continues working, striving and praying for peace. Dr. Hinsley concludes that he himself is ordering a prayer for pea*ce to be said at every mass in the Archdiocese of Westminster till further notice.
Mr George Lansbury, Leader of the Opposition, in a recent letter, urged that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Cosmo Gordon Lang, should take the lead in an appeal to the Pope to convoke a congress of every phase of Christian thought at Jerusalem, and call a truce of God from the Mount of Calvary.
