BRITAIN’S DESIRE
TO REMAIN PROTESTANT Reed. 1.40 p.m. LONDON, Monday. The Home Secretary, Sir W. Joynson-Hicks, contesting the argu ment that non-English votes outweighed the English Commoners in the Prayer Book division, says that Protestantism concerns Scotsmen and Welshmen equally with Englishmen. Britain wants to remain Protestant, and does not want to fight the battles of the sixteenth century. Replying to the complaint that Nonconformists and others helped t.i defeat the book, he points out that similar people voted in the affirmative. Mr. Rosslyn Mitchell, Labour member for Paisley, in reply to Dr. R. J. Campbell, stated that he is a member of the United Free Church of Scotland, though he also belongs to the Theosophist Society.—Sun.
