Attesting to this is a booklet called "Moral Rearmamentthe Battle for Peace,’ edited by tennis star H. W. ("Bunny") Austin. He says that the crisis of last September was a turning point in his life. He read a‘letter in the Press in which Lord Baldwin and other national leaders asserted that "the real need of the day is moral and spiritual rearmament." He immediately threw himself fnto the task of getting rid of his own weaknesses, so that he could in turn help others to get rid of theirs. As a practical gesture toward the latter objective, he coljected in booklet form letters that appeared in the Press and statements supporting the philosophy that "the battle for peace must be fought in the heart of the individual." These letters and statements are by rulers, statesmen, churchmen, leading professional, business and sportsmen, and editorial writers, in various parts of the world. Dr. Frank N. D. Buchman, leader of the Oxford Group Movement, gave consent to the term "moral rearmament" during an address delivered four months before the crisis. Mr. Austin’s booklet will be useful if its appeal does not remain dormant bctween its.pages. In any ease, the little publication should not be regarded cheaply simply beeause it is modestly marked "6d."ie is comforting to reflect
