Of intrigue but with our people and
our government"

Deeds" says the circular, that not
only people Indifferent to the ortho-
doX church can be loyal citizens of
the Soviet Union and loyal to the
Soviet government, but also its most
Jealous adherents We want to adj
here to our orthodox faith and at the
same time recognize the Soviet Union
as our country, the happiness and
achievements Of which are our hap
piness and achievements, and its fail
ures our failures. Every blow di-
rected against the Union, whether it
be war or boycott, or some other
public grist, or whether it be an or
binary murder from the ambush like
the one perpetrated in Warsaw, we
consider it as a blow directed against
us"
The Patriarchal Synod demands
from the orthodox clergy abroad to
give a written pledge of their abso-
lutte loyalty to the Soviet government
in all its public endeavors. Those who
will not take this pledge or will VIC
