The Archbishop of Canterbury scored anti-Semitism in a New Year’s message and warned of its spread unless checked. The message declared:
“I am concerned to notice some signs of the growth of anti-Semitism in this country. It is, I know, at present confined to a few very irresponsible persons, but unless it is checked it may spread. I trust we may be spared the shame of giving any sort of encouragement to the discreditable prejudice which has led to cruel persecution in other countries and especially in Germany, of a race to which our Savior in his human life belonged.”
