Rudolph /. Kubica, foreign affairs
analyst for Continental Press Syn
dicate, has this to say about the
Russians in Slovakia.
In a maelstrom of murder, rape,
robbery, famine and disease the
Soviet new order has come to SLOW
aka; legally ruled by the govern
ment of DR.. Benes in Prague, de
facto under the control of the Com
missars of the Slovak National
Council OF Liberation, the country
is being prepared for Incorporation
into the Soviet Union.
All Catholic Schools have been
nationalized. Hundreds of priests
have been imprisoned. The demo-
cratic right of petitioning the Gov
ernment has been cancelled, and law
and order have been subjugated to
the moods of the Red-Soldiery
which is brutal, undisciplined, and
ruthlessly violent. In the name of
liberation the country is being ex-
terminated.
Every indication is that the incor-
poration of Slovakia to the Soviet
Union is what is envisaged. On the
naturalization of the schools, the
Bishops asked their people to petit
ion the Government to permit them
to retain their own system of educ
alton. Within three days in one pro-
vince 90 % of the people, including
the ordinary members of the Com
munist Party, signed the request.
Then the petition was declared
illegal.
Up to the present over 10000 Of
the professional classes, doctors,
lawyers and journalists have been
exiled to Russia. No one knows what
part of the Soviet they now inhabit.
Large parties Of children are also
being taken from their families and
sent out Of the country. Their fate is
also a mystery.
Nuns Of Hungarian and German
descent are being sent over the
frontiers to fend for themselves. The
three leading professors of the Cat
holic Theological Faculty, Msgr.
Speak, Zlates, and Visnovsky, have
been imprisoned as politically un-
reliable and six priests have been
killed under mysterious circustan-
ces in the prisons of the National
Council Of Liberation.
Veneral disease is spreading
quickly through the whole army OF
occupation. A large proportion OF
the soldiers are women who live In
the barrack-rooms with their mas
culine comrades under normal mill
tary conditions. They have become
infected.
The Summary for young men,

ava has been divided so that Russ

modated. In one part OF the building

their training; in the other part

The fate of the population IN gem

And then it will be too late.
