QUAKERS AND THE RUSSIAN SITUATION

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]

Sin,—The Yearly Meeting of the Society of Friends now in session is deeply anxious concerning the situation existing between this country and Russia.

Recalling the sorrows of the past and the work our members were able to do in the years of famine in Russia, we know that there is a better way than the path of conflict. We desire to draw the minds of our people from the strife of to-day to the deeper unity of mankind in God, and to urge upon all those who love their fellows an effort of spirit to rise above the cloud of political antagonism.—I am, Sir, &c.,

ROGER CLARK,

Clerk of the Yearly Meeting of the Society of Friends.

Friends House, Euston Road, N.W. 1.
