Christian Pacifist

There were times when the urbanity vanished, the Dean seemed a little tired after his town hall speech the previous night, where we understand the meeting fell rather flat with an audience of a bare 600. There was no doubting his enthusiasm, or his honesty. He was a Christian Pacifist, pure and simple. That was it, a simple soul who in the banners and slogans saw hope for a new world—the pity is, as he admitted, so many of the Peace Movement in the East would regard Communism as a prerequisite for Peace.

Dean Chandler began with the Warsaw Congress, before which he was nominated for the World Peace Council by "a Wellington lawyer." Unable to send delegates to Sheffield, they drifted to Warsaw, where there were 2400 delegates from 80 nations. He criticised the action of the British Government, a standpoint which he shared with the "New Statesman" and "Spectator."
