AN ARCHBISHOP'S SPEECH
St,—Readers of The Spectator have rubbed their eyes these days. First we get " Janus " little puffs for Franco and Salazar, now a description of Dr. Bernard Griffin's unfortunate speech on Poland and Yalta as "Wisdom horn the Church." In spite of expression of Christian sentiment, the speech was an attempt to undermine the unity of the Allied Nations. If this were successful all hope for a peaceful world would die.
Fortunately for the world, the vote of confidence in Mr. Churchill and Mr. Eden given by the House of Commons after the Yalta debate does, I believe, represent the deep conviction of the mass of the people of
this country.—Sincerely yours, L. MACGREGOR. 9 Bowesfield Lane, Stockton-on-Tees.
[It is difficult to see on what grounds a speech whose main motif was counsel to Poland to avoid conflict with Russia, and even to put the best cdnstruction on Russian policy, can be described as an attempt to under- mine the unity of the Allied Nations.—En., The Spectator.]
