Official Soviet Publications
Declared Atheist Policy

TIME fact that there was no change in the
Il attitude of the Red rulers toward the prob
lem of religion after 1886 is fully borne out by
the following statement in the February 1887
issue of the Beabo,hnik (The Goddess maya
zine published under the auspices of the SOVIET
authorities:
Does the new Stain Constitution mean
that we have changed our attitude toward
religion, toward the ministers Of religious
paganda?-Certainly not. In some dis
tricts the priests seek to interpret in their
own way the meaning of the Constitution;
they claim that is concession to the priest
hood. The Party organizations and the Union
of Militant Atheists must always uncover
this pernicious and antiSoviet Dragging"
Echoing these views The Anti-R6tgl0us,
another Government subsidized publication,
declared
THE Soviet State cannot permit the free
dom of religious agitation since 1t is pro-
foundry hostile to our people to our state,
to science, to our whole religion 1889, No.
/, p 40.
Andthe official Soviet daily Prada of July
90. 1889, unhesitatingly asserted that:
"A IN T RELIGIOUS PROPAGANDA
HAS IN OUR COUNTRY THE CHARAC-
TER OF A STATE POLICY; it is an inalien
able and integral part of the whole political
and educational Party task
Quite in line with this utterance is the de-
cree Of the Peoples CommiSsariat Of Education
of February 81, 1910, No. 312, which reads in
part:
Il. The directors Of high schools shall
examine at the pedagogical conferences the
question of the measures for improvement Of
the methods Of the anti-religious work in
school
% All departments Of public education
and school directors are instructed to or
ganize anti-religious work among the par
ents Of the pupils.
But much more important than any legal
dispositions and theoretical sophisms is the
bloody and shameful balance sheet Of the 80

TEXT OF STATEMENT,
issued by the
Russian American National
Committee

MR. ROOSEVELTS recent statement to
IV the effect that the Soviet Constitution
Of 1886 extends the same freedom OF
conscience and gives the same protection OF
religion as the American Constitution stands
in fragrant contradiction not only with the
avowed policies and practices of Stain and his
red henchmen, but even with the President
own words which he uttered OIL May q, l94l,
when declaring the state of Unlimited Elmer
gency. He then stated the Nazis are as ruth
less as the Communists in the denial of God"
Mr.. sRoosevelts new and astounding inter
probation of the status Of religion in the
L. S. s. r. has provoked storm of protests on
the part of both Christian clergymen and lay
men.
Believing that our Administration should
be properly informed of the facts concerning
the official Soviet attitude towards religion,
the undersigned have prepared Memorandum
which is printed below

No Denomination of
Churches Spared

CERTAINLY the leopard has not changed his
~ spots. and three weeks ago, after the
Bolsheviks had been expelled from Estonia, the
outside world again got glimpse of the Red
ravages directed principally against the Chris
tian Churches of all denominations. Here is
what we read in cable dispatch of September
q, 1871, from Talinn to The New York En-
Qurer:
Joyous throngs of Christians are again
filling the churches of Estonia. Since the
Reds have been driven from the little Baltic
state, that predominantly Lutheran country
again has freedom of worship +. The Esto-
mans seem now like persons awakened from
a horrible nightmare :. They can hardly
believe they are again free to worship God
:. Evidence of the restored right of free
dom to worship is seen in such incidents as
the three Lutheran pastors who returned to
Talinn riding in farm carts. They had
escaped the approach of the Reds who had
seized so many clergymen, even the eighty
two-year-old Nicolai Paets It was re-
ported that the aged clergyman died while in
the hands of the OG.P.U. in Russia. For
many years Paets had been arch-priest OF the
Orthodox Cathedral in Talinn Accounts
of the bloodthrstiness and ferocity of the
Reds, told by the residents of Talinn, are
horrible to the point of being sickening. IN

= The systematic destruction by the Bolshe-
viks of the Christian Churches is mat
ter of public record.
The Christian world was shocked on learn
ing about the demolition of the magnificent,
and from historical and cultural standpoint
priceless, sanctuares such as the st. Simon
Monastery the Chapel of Our Lady of her,
and the Church Of Christ the Saviour in Moscow.
Hundreds of churches have been blasphe-
mously converted into anti-religous museums,
Communist clubs dancing halls and similar
obscene dens. 1t is in this way that the cele-
brated st. Isaac's and Kazan Cathedrals in
Petrograd and the Kiev-Pechersk Monastery
have been desecrated.
Holy ikons and other objects of religious
worship have been forcibly removed from
churches and private homes, and burnt or
otherwise destroyed by the carloads.

AAASS@AJ
 Father Fitzsimons, widely known as @ teacher and as an orator, pointed out the evils apparent in this materialistic age that has given Communism the opportunity to become worldwide menace to Christian civilization. He deplored the evidence of "dictatorships" in government, in labor, in the eco- homie world and the trend toward godlessness in society In general. He voiced the prediction that following the present war America will face the greatest reconstruction period in its history. It will be Q move- ment in which God will be returned to the affairs of men and nations. He urged his listeners to be pre- pared for that day, to revive their interest in Social Justice units and be ready for the cali for leadership.
 American Blood"
 Tn his remarks Father Fitzsimons commented on the all-out campaign to save England. "Let her have guns, tanks, boinbers and all the war materials she needs, but don't spill one drop of American blood in her interest. He referred to Father Coughlin as "that great friend of the working man, the greatest foe of Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini" and deplored the vicious propaganda which resulted in the radio priest being forced to discontinue his radio broadcasts.
 The dinner was held in observ- ance of the 25th anniversary of the ordination of Father Coughlin. Pres ident George Ayotte of the Citizens Study club, which sponsored the event extended the greetings of the organization to the assemblage and introduced the master of ceretnon. les of the evening, William T. Far. rington. The latter uep1ored the widespread evidence in America of organized attempts to infringe on the constitutional guarantee of free speech.
 Tt isn't c question whether G1e agrees or disagrees with Father Coughlin's statements, but whether or not he Is entitled to his right to speak as an American citizen," MT. Harrington declared. "Propagandists

 have succeeded in silencing him in his all-out appeal for Americas in- terests, socially, economically, spir- itually. They are now attempting to iastill prejudice among the var- ious racial and religious groups of America. Their actions are chal- lenge to every honest-thinking American"
 Father Mcverry
 Rev. Michael McVerry of St. Lucy's church, who gave the iivo- cation and later blessed little silver crucifiXes as remembrances of Father Coughlin's silver jubilee told of @ recent visit to Royal Oak, Mich, and personal chat with Father Coughlin. He found the fa. nous priest In excellent health, but discouraged over the outlook for world peace. Tn response to 8 query as to his possible return to the radio, Father Coughlin re- marked that he saw little use. since the pope has broadcast ap- peals for peace with no appreciable results. Father McVerry paid @ tribute to Father Coughlin as champion of the principles of social justice 50 vltally needed today and as @ hard-working pastor. Pray and set a good example in your work" was his message to his friends, Father McVerry reported.
 He concluded his remarks with the prediction that the tiine will come when Father Coughlln will be rightly hailed as the man who would be justified in saying, T told you so".
 Musical Numbers
 During the evening vocal selec- tions were rendered by Mrs. Anne Duffy and double quartet, as- sisted by Mrs. George Ayotte as piano accompanist. Those taking part in the pleasing program were Mrs. Anne Ayotte Duffy, Miss Helen Duffy, Mrs. John Muster, Mrs. Rosemary Muster, Miss Blanche Ay- otte, Miss Ethel Ayotte ard Mis- Barbara Ayotte, sisters or daughte s of President Ayotte.

 The last question was written to the State Library by an American woman who had married e German citizen in Germany. She feared she would go to e concentration camp unless she got the answer. A few days research showed the woman's ancestors had been Aryan Ameri- cans for more than six generations.
