The B. B. C. is extending its anti-Pacifist blockade. It has now blacklisted three famous preachers—Dr. Donald Soper, of Kingsway Hall and Tower Hill; Dr. George MacLeod, of Iona; and Canon Charles Raven, Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge . . . In these three cases, as in the case of the Glasgow Orpheus Choir, banned because of the pacifist views of its conductor. Sir Hugh Robertson, the B. B. C. is assumed to have acted as the instrument of the State. No attempt has been made to disguise the reason for the action . . ." (News Chronicle, January 4th. 1941.)
