ROMAN CATHOLICS AND THE WAR [To. the Editor of TNE

SPECTATOR.] SIR,—In a recent-issue of The Spectator Mr. F. O'Hanlon makes an attack on the alleged attitude of the Catholic Press of England to the Italo-Abyssinian War. In the course of his letter he limits his attack down to what he calls the three Catholic journals "—whichever they may be.

We shall therefore be grateful if you will permit us to-say that the Catholic Herald has never at any time supported or condoned the .attack .on Abyssinia, ,but: quite the contrary, and that it hiS never taken up any of the attitudes- set out by Mr. O'Hanlon in his fourth paragraph.—Yours faithfully, Pun Enrron OF The Catholic Herald:- 110-11-1 Fleet Street, London,- E.C.4,
