Writing in his Diocesan Chronicle
on the war In the Far East, Dr. Henry Wilson, Bishop of Chelmsford, states that Japon would probably be unable to carry on if munitions were not supplied to her by other nutions. It had been estimated that 50 per cent. of essential war materials înd 78 per cent. of the oll required were obtained by Japan from America,
- "America has a neutrality Jaw which forbids the supply of muni- tions to nations who are at war," he adda, "but apparently, since Japan has not gone through the formality of declaring war, this embargo does not apply.
Even Britain supplies wor materials to Japan.. So that while the clergyman prays for China, at the offertory the churchwarden puts into the collection a shilling which he has derived from his dividends In the armaments firm which has helped Japan to massacre the Chinese for whom he has just been praying!
"Surely there would be no dificul ty in making it unlawful for armaments firm to supply munitions to any nation engaged in war except to our allies, actual or potential?"
