Aid to refugees was advanced today as a cardinal part of a three-point program for lasting peace mapped at a conference of evaders of the Anglican Church and the Free Churches, under the chairmanship of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The program, issued in the form of a manifesto entitled “Lest We Forget 1914-1918,” advocated substitution of principles of reason and conferences for methods of violence in settlement of international conflicts, voiced general disapproval of any policy based solely on rearmament and urged: “at d to multitudes of men, women and children, who for racial, religious or intellectual reasons are without shelter and without hope. inspired by a spirit of compassion and gratitude that their homes were spared the horrors of war, Christians should reply to their appeals for aid.”
