CATHOLICS IN BRITAIN RESISTANCE TO NAZI-ISM SUPPORT FOR BRITAIN SYMPATHY. FOR POLAND (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 1 p.rn. RUGBY, Sept. 13. A statement issued on behalf of the council of the Catholic Union of Britain assures Britain of its unqualified support m the war it is waging in defence of the principles of national justice and Christian morality. "In this struggle we are certain that the King's Catholic subjects will worthily play their part,” the statement proceeds. "We have no hatred for the German people who have long been kept deliberately in ignorance, but we feel that the policy of their rulers, in pursuing rapacious aims by violence and mendacity, must be resisted to the end by all who believe in the undying implications of the laws of God. "Further, we would express our deepest sympathy for the people of Christian Poland who, despite the greatest geographical disadvantages, are so gallantly resisting the criminal onslaught of a mighty Power, whose leaders animated by the bitterest anti-Christian hatred and whb.se set determination is to extirpate Christianity in the minds of the young.”
