CATHOLIC UNION
RAISES FUND TO
ATTACK RUSSIA
Priest to Spy on Soviet
Government

NEW YORK, July 31.-A letter sent
out by the Catholic Union, 80 West
seth street, begs funds from United
States Catholics with which to fight
the Soviet Union, and in return for
money promises to give rich spiritual
advantages
The letter, which has been broad
cast thruout the country, states, I'VE
are striving to bring back into the
One True Fold over 120,000,000 mem
bers of the Eastern Orthodox Church,
who now live amidst the chaos of Rus
STA, the same sublime happiness that
is yours as a faithful member of our
Holy Catholic Church"
This counter.revolutionary organiza-
ton, which has tried to carry on anti
Soviet propaganda in Russia, then
goes to make plea for money. The
letter is signed by REV. Joseph Kreu-
ter, executive secretary"
81 am still anxiously waiting to hear
from you, dear Friend in Christ"
Kreuter says Several people have
written that they can't spare $1,000
for the Catholic Union. But the ten
dollars for which we ask need not be
paid all at once.
Every mite wifi help. Every cent
that you can spare is needed so badly
right now that we may train priests
to work among our separated breth-
rem. In the name Of our separated
brethren Of Russia and the Near East,
am awaiting your answer"
This letter, which asks for the pen.
MES of the unemployed and toiling
masses who are living in such sub
lime happiness" that they haven't ten
dollars to their name, exposes the
anti-Soviet activity of the Catholic
church which plans to send trained
spies, CARRIED as priests, into Soviet
Russia.
