Two articles on Roral Re-Armament have recently appeared in Salient. The first, by James Baynard-Smith, dealt with the real issue in the world today—how to bring an answer to the divisions if ideology, class, race and nation—and gave evidence on a global scale of the uniting power of MRA.

The second, by Conrad Bollinger, did not attempt to grapple with this basic issue of division, which, unless solved, will drag all nations to nuclear catastrophe.

Instead, Mr. Bollinger strung together a motley collection of smear-stories that are too ludicrous to be taken seriously. One needs only to cite his description of George Seldes as "the American Roman Catholic journalist." The man to whom he refers produced a weighty volume bitterly attacking the Catholic Church.

Again, informed labour men would speedily reject Mr. Bollinger's picture of Burma's Socialist Prime Minister as being far removed from the truth. Similarly, those men and women of MRA from Norway, Holland, France and other European countries who suffered for their faith in Nazi concentration camps would quickly give the lie to his attempts to associate MBA with fascism.
