[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.]
SIR,—Major-General Sir F. Maurice misses the point of my letter. It can scarcely be disputed that the Archbishop of Canterbury by his acceptance of the policy of the White Paper sanctions the use—in face of what may be considered "military necessity "—of aerial weapons. No doubt the Archbishop desires to see the abolition of aerial warfare, but in default of international agreement he is evidently prepared to sanction it. My contention is that Christian principles demand the complete repudiation of aerial warfare by any nation which makes any profession of Christian morality, whatever may be the attitude of other Powers. It is time that the leaders of the Christian Church took an uncompromising stand against methods of warfare in utterly indefensible.—Yours, &c.,
