First Pictures Of The Actual Fight Cost Dent

BELOW are two of a most remarkable series of photographs over taken of an actual naval battle in progress. They were taken by a member of the crow of H.M.S. Achilles during the battle in which she took part with Ajax and ́Essox against the pocket-battleship Graf Spec.

It is now history that the latter, pride of the Gorman Navy, ran, hard-hit, for Montevideo, where she subsequently scuttled herself rather than come out and resume the battle.

The dramatic titles of the photographs are given as written by the photographer, a sor- geant of the Royal Marines.Copyright Photographs.

Political Views Of

Dr. Johnson

CANTERBURY.

"We are trustees for the spirit of the place something no court of law can try. We have now done the most serious act we can think of to show that we consider the Dean Is not the right man for his job.”

So sald Conon J. M.. C. Crum, senior canon of Canterbury Cathe dral, explaining to me the netion of the canons residentiary in issuing a statement about the political views of the Dean, Dr. Hewlett Johnson,

In the statement, which is signed by Canons T. K. Sopwith, John Shirley, Frederick B. MucNutt and A. Surgent, as well as Canon Crum, the signatories dissociate themselves from political utterances which have so often given the impression that he condones the offences of Russia against humanity and religion."

"Offɑnco To 'Christians" It continues:

"We have further thought it our duty to tell him that his political activities gravely impair the spiritual bufluence of the Cathedral in the city and diocese of Canterbury, give grievous offence to many Christians throughout the world, and, in our view, are proving themselves to be incompatible with the proper dis- charge of the trust which has been committed to him.

We desire to make it known that we are at one with the Dean in be- lieving that it is the duty of all Christians to further soctul and economic reform, but we believe t to be a dangerous Illuston to hold that such reform will ever be achieved by the methods which have characterised the Soviet regime."

Canon Crum was most anxious to emphasise that the canons had not issued their statement-a copy which they also gave to the

Dean without the most serious thought.

The Dean's sermon in Westminster Abbey, in which he was reported to have said that "Communism has re- the essential form of the real

In God

which organised Christianity as it is now has so large- ly lost," was felt to be ambiguous for a highly paid Church dignitary and a follower of Christ.

Soon after this sermon the canona saw the Dean in the chapter house, and euch, in order of seniority, ex- plained his view about the Dean's netivities.

Dr. Johnson was asked to take time to consider his reply. After some considerable interval, ho again met the canons and read an apologia to them of some 40 pages.

They considered it to be a political discourse and irrelevant to the issue that the Dean was not doing his Job us Dean and as minister of reli- Blon

The canons next saw the Arch- bishop of Canterbury, Dr, Lang, who was consulted about the position. He was later told that the statement was going to be issued.

Dean On Statement

The Dean of Canterbury, replying to the statement by the canons, sald he deeply deplored the raising of issues which must lead only to heat and controversy. He appealed for the differences to be examined in a calm and more restrained atmosphere. he added, "it would be "Then, found that 1-huve-done-all- In-my Lower, compatible with my funda- ADOPTION by Mr. Stan-mental beliefs and with my con selence, to mouth over personal of viewpoint." ley (War Minister) of the differences of Archbishop of Canterbury's new title for "unmarried, wives"-now known in the more irreverent outer pre- cincts of the House as "Can- terbury Belles"— was re- ferred to in the House of Commons recently.
