LEFT-WING BOOKS.
POLITICS AND LITERATURE. LONDON, Jan. 17. The Dean of Canterbury, Very Rev. Hewlett Johnson, informed 7000 members of tho Left Book Club at the Albert Hall, and an overflow meeting at the Queen’s Hall, that a Christian Religious Book Club was being formed under his editorship. Sir F. D. Acland, M.P. (Liberal) declared that not 30 per cent, of Britons desired Fascism, and not one half of 1 per cent, desired war. Lord Addison emphasised the necessity for keeping democracy well-in-formed regarding the issues in Spain. Madame Chiang Kai-shek and General Mao Tse-tung, leader of the Chinese Bth Route Army, cabled greetings. Madame Chiang Ivai-shek said that if China was defeated the world’s economic foundations would sustain an irreparable blow. The consequences of leaving China to the mercy of defiant aggressors would recoil on the democratic nations to their disgrace and to the undoing of civilisation. Other Chinese leaders cabled that the armaments of peace against Fascist aggression were a world boycott, sanctions, and a blockade.
