OXFORD GROUP
— 0 SECRET DOCUMENT SENT BY MR A. P. HERBERT, M.P. DANGER SEEN OF PEACE INTRIGUE. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.45 p.m.) LONDON, September 20. Mr A. P. Herbert, M.P., has sent Mr E. Bevin (Minister of Labour) a secret document about the Oxford Group. In a letter to Mr Bevin, Mr Herbert said: “I believe Mr Buchman is not a true friend of Britain. The document is not the only ground for that belief. “If I am right, Mr Herbert added, “the widespread organisation in Britain under his influence and perhaps his orders, may. in circumstances not difficult to imagine, be a danger to the State. A peace move blessed by Buchman, spread in perfect good faith by his numerous popular followers, might be of deadly effect. I do not suggest that they are not true patriots, but the more innocent they' are the more dangerous they may be.” Referring to Mr Bevin’s refusal to exempt Oxford Group evangelists from military service. Mr Herbert says that until members of the Group disown Mr Buchman they deserve and should receive no special consideration from the State.
