Thecontroversiesthathavegather. ed,andstillrage,roundthe"Deposited PrayerBook"haveaffordedagood manysurprises,butnonemoredramatic-.thantheunexpectedattitudeofthe BishopofDurham.

AveryfewyearsagoDr.Henson stoodforallthatwasmostextreme inAnglicanModernism,andforthe typeofprelatetowhomtheEstablishedChurchisratheradepartmentof theCivilServicethanaspiritualsociety.Itmaybethathisinteriorconvictionshavebeenmisinterpreted,but, ifso,thegeneraltoneofhispublicutteranceshascertainlygivencolourto suchmisrepresentation.Itwould seemmoreprobablethatlongexperienceaddedtointellectualforceand clarityhaveimpelledhimtoretrace hisstepsinthedirectionofthetraditionoftheChristianFaith.Theother alternativewouldhavebeenretrogressiondownthatModernistslopewhich logicallyendsinagnosticism.

Dr.Henson'sUniversitySermon, preachedinGreatSt.Mary's,Cambridge,onSunday,29th.January,was notonlyahistoricalandintellectual tourdeforce,andfromtheAnglican pointofviewpracticallybeyondcontradiction,hutitmusthavecomeas somethingofabomb-shellamongthe ranksoftheunderworldthatcaricatureshistoryandisincapableoflogic.

TheProtestantBishopofDurham stands.inthis,sidebysidewiththe ChurchoftheCatacombs,withSt. GregorytheSeventh,andSt.Thomas fCanterbury,withourownmartyrs ofthePenalDays,andwithallwhoin veryagehavedefiedtheclaimofsecularauthoritytobindandviolatemen's eonsciences

HUNTINGCATHOLICSFROM'PLANES

Acopyrighteddispatchpublishedby theNewYork"World"onFebruary 5,wasintroducedbythestartling words:

FourMexicanPlanestoHunt Catholics.

WarMachinesObtainedinU.S. bySpecialPermissionof theStateDepartment.

Onthisoccasiontheheadline-writer putthegistofthestoryintoconcise language.InMexicoCatholicshave been"hunted"asthoughtheywere wildbeastsforsomeyears.Nowthat gunpowderandshotdonotkillthem offfastenough,airplanesaretobe used.

Thepainfulfeatureinconnection withthesenewmeansofexterminating CatholicsisthattheMexicanGovernmenthasimportedtheairplanesby specialpermissionoftheAmerican Government.

Letusnotjumptotheconclusion thattheAmericanGovernmentis deeplyinterestedinkillingCatholics. Anystatementofthekindwouldbe grosslyunjust.

TheAmericanGovernmentdeclares thatitschiefinterestinthisaffairis notmoredeadCatholics,butmerely morebusinessforAmericanairplane manufacturers.

Isitonthisbasisthatourdifferences withMexicoaretobearranged?Can itbethat"justice,""humanity,""commondecency"arewordsnottobe heardattheconferences-ifconferen. cesaretakingplace?

"Furthermore."reportstheN.C.W.C. representative,"theDepartmentindicatedthatithadliftedtheembargo ontheplanesintheinterestofAmeri canmanufacturers."Tojustifythis amazingposition,theStateDepartmentissuedthefollowingstatement:

"Whilethispolicy(ofembargo)was mforce(i.e.,sinceNovember,1926), numerousprotestswerereceivednot alonefromtheMexicanGovernment,

Governmentproceededtomakeits purchasesinEuropeandelsewhere, Atthebeginningoftheyearitwas decidedtomodifythepolicy,andaccordinglypermitscoveringsomeofthe shipmentsofarticlespurchasedfrom Americanmanufacturers,including fourairplanes,werereleased."

Theethicalimplicationsofthisas toundingexplanationareself-evident toanyonewhoreadsnewsacountsof theusetowhichtheplanesareactuallybeingput.

But,wearetold,"TheDepartment hasnoinformationconcerningthespecificusestowhichtheairplanes havebeenput,oraretobeput,bythe MexicanGovernment."

ItishardlyprobablythatMr.Caller intendedtousethemforexhibtionpurposes,anditisquitecertainthatour Governmentcan,ifitwishes,instantly secureinformationabouthowtheyare beingused.

Whenaskedwhethertheembargo wouldagainbeenforced"iftheDepartmentshouldbecomeconvinced thattheplanes,whoseshipmentto Mexicoithadauthorised,werebeing usedtohuntdownandbombCatholic groupsinthatcountry,"theStateDepartmentrefusedtoconsiderthatcontingency.

Apparently,then,itistheopenseasonforCatholicsinMexico-Aftera certainnumberofthemhavebeen bombed,theAmericanGovernment may,itdeclares,inquireintothere sultsofauthorisingtheshipmentof theseairplanes,butcannotsaywhat itwillorwillnotdowithregardto huntingCatholicsbyplane,"untilsuch adevelopmenthadactuallytaken placeandbeenproved."
