Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from I Appeal Unto Cæsar: The Case of the Conscientious Objector The author of this appeal wishes to thank the people of all classes and conditions who have so warmly responded to her efforts to obtain redress for the genuine conscientious objectors, now undergoing in prisons all over the land long sentences of hard labour. Many write to her to ask how they can help. She makes a few practical suggestions. Petitions can be drawn up and resolutions passed, copies of which can be sent to the War Cabinet and to the Home Office, both of which authorities are concerned in the matter, asking for a free pardon and release for these men. Such petitions should come from many quarters and classes - from religious bodies, from societies interested in liberty, from trade unions and trade associations, and from those who carry on the intellectual life of the nation. Lastly, Members of both Houses of Parliament, who feel there has been some maladministration of the law, should take those steps both privately and in public, which seem to them likely to be effective to alter a state of things which all must deplore. It is possible that the Government itself may not be unwilling that some pressure shall be brought to bear on them to remedy what has become so grave a scandal. When the Germans committed the judicial murder of Edith Cavell, the world shuddered with horror. May it not be laid at our door that we also have been guilty of judicial tyranny and cruelty? Let us remember that "the Lord hardened Pharaoh´s heart" to the ultimate discomfiture of Pharaoh. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
