Snc,—Since a review as sane and as balanced as The

Spectator is Pit- pared to champion the cause of the " Friendly Aliens" may I he allowed to go so far as to say that not only should the policy of the general internment of the C category be drastically reviewed, but also that those in the B category should be given a fair chance of Proving themselves friendly or otherwise? It fell to my lot to attend many tribunals and while appreciating the difficulties involved I have yet discover why some men and women received B endorsement. The` were in work holding a Home Office permit, further they were loyal and friendly to this country and utterly antagonistic to the .1iitler regime. Yet the fact remains in some cases that they were Veil 3 B and it would seem for no apparent reason. In many instances their credentials differed in no point from those of others who were put in the C category. Surely in the name of justice and of Christian enlight- enment we must seek to heal the wounds we have inflicted upon many refugees by pressing for the most generous review of all who ar,e.,,,in category C, not forgetting many also who are in Category B.—lc).— Church of England Committee for " Non-Aran " Christians" Watford, Hens.
