Abstract
The following statement was handed recently to the South African Press Association. "The Christian Council of South Africa has decided to make representation to the Government with regard to the internment of German Missionaries and the resulting injury to their work. This decision is in conformity with the gen rally accepted principle and practice of the International Missionary Council to which the Christian Council of South Africa along with many other National Councils, is affiliated, Whose policy has always been to maintain the supranationalism of Christian Missionary work. During the Great War (1014-18) Christian bodies in South Africa took up a similar attitude and were able to a certain extent to prevent the disintegration of Missionary Work done by Germans.
