Editor Times-Some time ago your
paper carried an article headed
Communism Foe to Christian
ity," by DR.. Wilson of Detroit. The
doctor either willfully lies or is ig-
norant of facts. True, it is against
the un-Christian teachings of re-
ligion and tolerateS nothing but
facts. 1t does not permit teach
ings of "ChauviniSm and hatred.
1t doesn't teach that it is right
for one class to starve and exploit
the other, doesn't permit poor, in
nocent children to starve or be
thrown from homes into the street
to make profit for some christian
business man. It teachers and en-
forces brotherly love.
AS tradition teaches us, Christ
was crucifled. Why? Didn't he
revolutionize the teachings of the
old Bible, overthrow the money
changers in the temple and rebelled
against the order of the day?
Weren't the teachings of the old
Bible Chauvinism, and didn't Christ
throw out his arms and proclaim
so to the whole world? Did he dis
criminate against his fellow-man
because he wasn't a Jew, or abuse
the foreigner, Catholic, Negro or
mongrel? He sought out and COM
forted the needy and down-trod-
den.
He attempted to teach true
Christianity" to the world and was
crucifed Didn't the Apostle Paul
say, There is a division among you,
which ought not to be?" Religious
superstition and false teaching have
held the masses in poverty long
enough. Let truth and light shine
through. We must throw off the
shackles and become a free pleople.
Communism tolerates and is true
Christianity itself.
The Baptist. church claims to ,eX-
ercise more freedom today in Russia
than before. In fact, a clause in the
Russian constitution guarantees to
all workers real freedom of con-
science, separation of church and
state, church and school, and free
dom of religious and anti-religious
propaganda.
We have similar clause in our
Constitution, but church dominates
state, school and politics, the latter
being very evident against Smith in
1928.
Which country is living Chris
tianity? Which God do we choose
to follow: One who permits and
teaches that it is the divine wish to
starve poor people and poor, limo
cent, helpless children to death for
profit, or one who teaches Help
thy brother as myself" throughout
the world no more bloody wars to
make profit, and let each one live
and produce for the benefit of hu-
mainly?
You do not put on Communism.
The way of a Communist is self
sacrificing and hard. You must be
Born again, with a true humani-
tartan spirit"
We have ministers, rabbi and
priests who would teach the truth,
if they could. Also some men of
wealth have conscience and con-
victions, but all are slaves of the
system"
Imagine the minister of John D. s
church criticising him for his tao
tics of starvation in the coal re-

Ford'S for the massacre of unem-
plOyed in Detroit They must be
looked up to as Christian leaders of
their community.
Some ministers do muster courage
to preach their convictions, They
are ostracised, their congregation
divided, or their churches closed. A
good example of this is the Bishop
Manning and the Rev. Dodd case in
New York. OF course, we don't need
to leave home to find it, either.

namely, the relation of our own

simple, typical system or a COM

A TAXPAYER AND
UNEMPLOYED.

Editor Times-JuSt a little note to
tell John M. O'Connor how narrow
minded he is about the street car
service.
For the first thing, the rate is
cents. Where else will you find this
fare for so much service?
Before talking, find out how many
men have been fired, and also take
notice that the men get more money
on one-man cars.
Furthermore it is impossible to
be hurt on the new street cars as
you mentioned.
So wake up, and don't forget your
mother and wife are much safer
with the new street cars, as you are
yourself.
We have the best street car serv-
ice in the country. Who says we
haven't? E. A. BELL.

November 3.-Sharp declines In
= United States Government obligations
featured dealings in today's active but
irregular bond market.
This trend in Governments may have
been due to the fact that the Federal
Reserve System purchased only $40
100000 of these issues in the open mar
ket last week. against $35 100000 for
a period of eight weeks and s25, 100000
the preceding week. 1t may have re-
suited from the slower rate at which
fourth Liberty 4l4s are being exchanged
for the new Treasury 4l4s-3l4s of
1943-1945 or from continued imitation
fears.
1t was the new 4l4s-3H4s that gave
way most readily in the first hour,
though the 4l4s of 1947 were off al
most at much. Other Treasury issues
then receded but Libertys were fairly
firm and dull.

the Government has purchased at least
that much of new gold under its new
policy that started october "a. This
amount of gold would be about in line
with production in this country. which
averages around sl000,O01 week.
These notes, bearer obligations of the

outstanding of the authorized issue of
