NUNZIO MURNO DOESN'T FIND COMMUNISTS FACING
 ISSUE SQUARELY


 To the Editor of The Democrat: With an interval of g week from similar publication in the 'tWater- bury American" the communist party of Waterbury has the same bombastic and hypocritical message of propaganda to the workers. of this city published in The Democrat.
 Well aware of the distrous effects of the atrocious and criminal activ- ity of their comrades of the red militia of Spain, they are trying to distort the public opinion by taking 8 position among the defenders of religious freedom. Who can imagine a more nauseating and false atti- tude?
 It is 6 sacrilege repugnant like that committed by the communists and anarchists. so-called loyalists of Spain, when they fired volley of shotgu1sg at t..e gigantic statue of Christ guilty of exterminating His God love teaching to all human be- ings in the world. It is certain that the great soul of Christ. confronted with the repetition. of what hap peAed almost 2,00O years ago on the Golgotlia hills, have invoked the father of with the same mercy full words: +Father, forgive them for they know not what they do" forgiveness is an attribution of God, but we human beings that live with all the human defects can- not forgive.
 We must remember and let our children remember that communism is the destructor of every religion and of the spiritual side of life.
 The communistic school has noth- ing in common with Christian or with any, other religion: their teach ing is the negation of God and brotherhood love. They, the com munists, hate anything and every thing that is great and good; they are the eternal preacher Of 8 class war. without quarter and without mercy.
 To The Democrat they said: we communists face all questions squarely." squarely? Falsely. I say.
 Today, to win the favor of the people they are ready to assert one thing and tomorrow, if the peoples blindness will put them in power, they would laugh at all and start, the systematic burning of churches; the cruel slaughter of priests and monks; the criminal ig- nominious outrage of ,undefended nuns: the destruction of every right and of every libertys and the 1evel- ing of the life of every man and woman to a moral and material point that is only next to beasts.
 And if you are stubborn enough to refuse the surrender of your rights, you will see your dearest one tortured and killed knowing that you will be going through the same barbarity without any pity.
 That is communism, 8 real unde- niable communism. Russia went through it and is living under it. Spain was on the verge of falling under the same hungry hordes, but the wisdom and courage of her best people is saving her from the unruie of those hideous destructors of civilization. .3s
 General Franco, my dear con1- munists of Waterpury, is doing for Spain what Kerensl<y was not able to do for Russia. He is putting your Spanish comrades in Q position of not hurting any more the Spanish people, their religion, their lives and their democracy.
 Yes, their democracy. Because when the cycle of. fascism will be completely done 1t will prove to be the real government of the people, working always for the benefit of the nation and of the people as g whole.
