Re World War I. Fenner Brockway will have provided all essential information.

"I was not a conscientious objector during the first war because I was overage. It was only shortly before going to prison that I became eligible for conscription because the age-limit was raised."

Rae eventually published Conscience and Politics (Oxford U.P., 1970) but did not cite Russell.

"My objections to the war were political ones but these are hardly distinguishable from grounds of objection which can be called 'intellectual'. I should have thought any articulated point of view would be so called." Re World War I.

Re letter from BR in Pakistan Times, probably Oct. 1963. Letter is to Syed Irshad and is in Dear BR.

BR gives reasons why he feels his private letter should not have been published in the Pakistan Times. "I should further say to you now that I am not under an obligation to adhere to the religious customs of those with whom I do not agree. I do not wish to gratuitously offend the sensibilities of anyone, but I cannot allow the ritual beliefs of any group, without discrimination, to intrude on what I consider to be intellectual freedom."
