Dean of Canterbury
welcomed to London
by cheering crowds

LONDON

Huge crowds gathered to cheer Dr. Hewlett Johnson, Dean of
Canterbury, when he spoke at St. Pancras Town Hall, London, on

Wednesday last week.

Over 2,000 had to be locked out when the hall was packed. They

Stayed outside, chanting continuously: “We want the Dean.”

when he left nearly two hours!
later they were still there.

When the Dean walked on to
the stage the whole audience rose
as one to cheer him.

Seven Church of UBngland
clergymen on the platform joined
in the ovation.

The Dean was cheered again
and again as he replied, briefly,
firmly and with great dignity to
the outpourings of vituperation of
the past week. ‘

“Why didn’t the Archbishop of
Canterbury read out the state-
Ment of the Chinese Christians in

Johnson.

“Can we dismiss our brother
Christians there, men who have
taken the gospel to China, as men
men who would present me with
& false statement, as liars?

“I did not go to investigate
serm warfare, although I met the
lawyer who led the International
Lawyers team of investigation—
he has Jost his job, by the way,
because he went.”

It was a deception to speak of
the International Red Cross as! an
impartial body that could investi-
8ate,these charges, he said.

“When Monica Felton return-
ed from Korea with evidence of
torture, the International Red
Cross refused to investigate be-
Cause they said they could not
investigate’ ‘civilians’ condi-

“But when Dean Acheson
asks them to go to investigate
Serm warfare—which is war on
civilians—they are prepared to
do it.”

The greater part of Dr. John-
80n’s speech ‘was devoted to what
he called “the modern miracle of
China.”

“The filth is gone, the disease,
the hunger, the graft. The Kuo-
mintang and the feudal landlords

ave gone—that is the greatest

history: the man who tills the

Soil now owns the soil,
“Three hundred million farm-

And

machines and fertilizers from us,”
he said. ‘What an illimitable
market is there!

“There need be no unemploy-
ment, no tightening of belts, no
need for another dollar from Am-
erica.” ;

He concluded, this face lighted
up with joy: ‘I have seen the
nearest thing to the Christianity
I have preached all my life being
practised in China today.”

Bomb at flat
of judge who

treed Duclos

: PARIS

A bomb exploded outside the
flat of Paul Didier only 24 hours
before he was to review the case
of Andre Stil, editor of L’'Human-
ite who has since been provision-
ally released by a grand jury.
Didier, president of the spec-
ial court which released Jacques
Duclos, French Communist leader,
from prison, has been the target
of a vicious press attack.

The court decided no legal ac-
tion could be taken against Duclos,
who had been held’ for over a
month in the Sante Prison, after
the anti-Ridgway demonstrations
in Paris.

Madame Didier, who was in the
flat, escaped injury by darting in-
to a cupboard as soon as she
saw smoke. A concierge was cut
in the face by flying glass when
he came to investigate the smoke,

The explosion completely wreck-
ed two flats, broke every window
and door and extensively damag-
ed other parts off the seven-storey
puilding, damaged an ambulance
parked, outside a nearby maternity
hospital and threw people off their
chairs in a neighboring cafe, -

Didier was one of the few
French magistrates who refused
to serve under the Vichy govern-
ment during the Nazi occupation.

The June issues of Voix Ouv-

ried some of the text of the In-
ternational Red Cross report on
Buchenwald which was made in
February, 1945. Here are a few
sections from that “impartial”
report:

“On their arrival the internees
undergo a medical examination;
their clothing is taken and steril-
ized. Then they are-shaved and
bathed in places equipped with
modern, sanitary facilities.

“Things go well at the Buchen-
wald camp, morale is excellent.
In the morning, one is given a
demi-liter (pint) of' coffee, 400
grams of bread, 4 little fat, a
sizeable piece of sausage or some-
thing similar. At noon, during
the rest period pints of coffee are
distributed. Finally, on their re-
turn from work at about 5:30,
internees receive a good substan-
tial soup.

excellent: every day a medical
visit. There are many doctors
and a hospital. In short, one

“Amusements: complete liberty

afternoon. That evening is touch-

The internees have developed a
theatrical company.”

rearming

LONDON

At a stormy three-hour meet-
ing of the parliamentary Labor
party, Labor MP’s last week de-
cided. to oppose ratification of
the West German rearmament
treaties because the German peo-
ple have not been democratically
consulted,

By an overwhelming majority,
the MP’s rejected a motion in
favor of ratification.

Labor Opposition leader and
former prime minister Clement
Attlee met with a personal defeat
when his own motion was voted
upon. This motion confined itself
to opposing immediate ratification
on the ground that it was ‘‘inop-
portune.” It was heavily defeat-
ed.

Attlee called upon Labor peers
attending the meeting to vote
upon a resolution calling for Four-
Power talks and elections in Ger-
many before rearming begins.
This is not usual. Mainly as a re-
sult of the peers’ vote. this vote

was defeated by 79 votes to 73.
