CHRISTIANS PERSECUTED
PROTEST AGAINST RUSSIAN MASSACRES BRITISH CHURCHMEN’S VIEWS LONDON, Sunday. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Cosmo Lang, in a letter to Prebendary A. W. Gough, vicar of Brompton, London, declining the presidency of the Committee of Christian Protest against religious persecution in Russia, on the ground that his own position was one of peculiar difficulty and responsibility, says he shares in the fullest measure the detestation of the anti-religious policy of the Soviet, and indignation is justly aroused against the persecution of all who profess any form of religion in Russia. The Bishop of London, Dr. Winnington Ingram, in a letter, says: “I am In favour of our Ambassador going to Russia as the only way of letting daylight into that country. But I consider that a continuance of relations should be conditional on the cessation of the massacre of Christians and of the proscription of religion. “I will remain on the committee only as long as the movement is religious, and not used for political purposes.”
