“I cannot but beg the Almighty to give you and all your coreligionists every strength and comfort in the trials they are undergoing at the present time,” the Archbishop of Westminster declared today in a message to the Agudath Israel, orthodox Jewish organization, which is celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary.
George Lansbury, labor and pacifist leader, said in a message:
“Without religion this which we call civilization is not only dead but damned. The one thing mankind awaits is the call of true religious peace, of toleration and goodwill, enabling us to understand that the basis for peace and security will only be found in our willingness to treat each other in the same manner that we desire to be treated.”
The Agudath Israel will hold its world congress in August, probably in Czechoslovakia.
