Fuel Oil Boost Authorized.
2. OPS fixed its first dollars and
cents ceiling prices on a petroleum
lproduct, authorizing INCREASES OF
III to 81 cents a barrel in prices
for residual fuel oils on the At
lantic seaboard. The oils are used
for power generation, as fuel for
ships and for heating in some
commercial and residential build
tings. OPS said the supply is tight
all along the Atlantic seaboard and
1T hopes higher prices will relieve
the situation.
Today is an important deadline
for an estimated 100000 retail
stores selling household goods and
for about 100000 retail meat mar
kets.
BY midnight most retail stores
must file charts with OPS listing
their ceiling prices for such things

television sets. house furnishings
and musical instruments.
Also by midnight, retail meat
markets which have not done so
must notify OPS in which of four
store groups they are classified
for ceiling prices on beef. Small,
independent stores generally may
charge higher prices than big
chain stores.
Chart Deadline Extended.
The deadline on posting of beef
ceiling price charts was extended
from June to June 18. except in
the case Of kosher beef retailers

the Bolsheviks were caught in their own

From the beginning Communists have
recognized religion and the belief in God as
the greatest obstacle to their progress in
setting up materialistic world dictatorship.
And from the beginning they have waged
open war against religion in all its forms.
Hence the early Marxist dictum. Religion
is the opiate of the people" Hence Lenin's
denunciation of all contemporary religions,
churches and all types of religious organiza-
tons; and Stalin's echo: The Party cannot
be neutral in respect to religion"
Every Denosninafion Attacked
A DREADFUL summary of the Soviet policy
is contained in cartoon that appeared in
one of the Soviet anti-religious publications
('The Atheist At His Bench" Feb. Is, 1881.

SECRET CENSUS

up to Heaven and disperse all the gods!"
How were the gods to be dispersed? To
answer this question means unfolding one of
the most hideous stories of religious persecu-
ton in all history.
From the beginning of the Soviet regime
in 1917, every conceivable means was used
to 'dissuade" Russians from worshiping. 1t
mattered not if they were Orthodox, Catho-
lies, Protestants, Jews, Buddhists or Moslems.
Every single denomination was attacked in
a hundred different ways. The Decree of
Separation of Church from State l9l8) with

believe IN God.
Intensive preparations were made to ex-
plain the census. ''Pravda" and "Izvesta"
editorials underlined the Importance of it.
Schools and factories were lectured long in
advance Finally the appointed day ar
rived, on January 6, 1887. There were l3
questions ON the blanks, one of which
was: ''Are you or are you not a believer"
What the results showed was enough to
throw the Soviets into frenzy. Though the
totals were hushed up, enough leaked out to
set all Russia buzzing. These rumors led to
watered-down reports, some of which have
been published in the United States But
none of the estimates" approxmates the
full and amazing truth. The fact is that no
complete official count was ever released.
But from several officials at the central census
Office, this writer learned in confidence that
more than 20 per cent Of the population had
proclaimed their belief in God. And strangely
enough this figure was subsequently verified
by the Soviets themselves as shall explain
They Kept II Quiet
L
shippers in the USSR was enough to scare the
Soviet administration out of its wits. They
had not expected this after years of atheistic
indoctrination. The upshot was drastic. On
September Is. 1887. just eight months after
the census, the results were declared null and
cold by special proclamation of the Council
of Peoples Commissars. The same decree an
nonced another census for 1939 The writer
was there for that one. too.
This time, however, religious worship was
completely omitted on the QUESTIONABLE
blanks. Strict orders were given to keep the
previous findings absolutely concealed. The
Soviets would not admit the bankruptcy of
their anti-God campaign.
To help minimize the reports that had
leaked out, a special pamphlet was put out
by the "Gosplan" on December 3. 1885, sum-
marily explaining that enemies of the people
- the infamous ''Trotsky- -Bukharin agents
of fascism" - had managed to infiltrate the
census administration and wreck its work.
The only mention of religious worship made
in reference to the 1889 census appeared in an
''Izvestia" article on December Is of that
year saying that g.. for the purpose of SIM
plifying the census program the question of
religion is omitted
Following the findings of the suppressed
1887 census, an intensi6cation of anti-religious
propaganda was noticeable throughout the
USSR. ''Izvestia" and ''Pravda" editor
ials clamored for more anti God agita-
ton. ''Bezboshnik' The Atheist). the
goddess newspaper, goaded lax prOpa-
gandists. A monthly anti-God magazine
called "Anti-religuioznik" The Anti Religion
ist) bewailed the stupid exhibits of anti-relig-
GUS museums where peasants burst into
prayer at the mere sight of their sacred icons,
when brought there to be given lecture.
But still the Soviet campaign begged down.
The peasant population insisted on observing
its religious holidays besides enjoying the
official Soviet day of rest Christian and
Moslem collective farmers obstinately re-
fused to go to the fields on Sundays in the

its concealed discrimination against wor-
shippers was ruthlessly applied.
In 1929 a far more elaborate religious
legislation rendered organized worship
virtual impossiblity in spite of all the official
guarantees" The OGPU-NKVD tracked
down worshipers in program of moral and
physical intimidation defying description.
Nobody, however. was openly sentenced be-
cause of any religious belief. The accusation
was always one of "counter-revolution."
Russian youth was systematically pre-
vented from learning the elements of religion.
Indeed it was formally taught atheism from
1917 on in every city and village of the USSR.
The Commissariat for Education consecrated
its formidable state apparatus to the teaching
Of atheism in all the Republics. Children of
all nationalities were taught their ABC's with
the aid of anti-religious cartoons. Films,
plays debates, lectures, radio programs,
public-address systems invading the privacy
of families, and every other manner of ap-
proach were put to use to eradicate the idea
of God from the people.

the Soviets attempted to enforce the five-day-

attendance practically impossible for the three
major faiths: Christian, Jewish and Moslem.
Under this plan, the days of the month

thus rendering impossible the religious
observance of Moslems on Friday, Jews
on Saturday and Christians on Sunday.

AFTER 20 years of this propaganda and per-
secution, Stains Politburo was so sure of its
success that it decided during the 1887 census
to see how many Russians still believed in
Coz.
As part of the build-up a secret anti
religious five-year plan had been set in motion
in 1892, scheduled for completion precisely
in 1887 This project was never mentioned
except in the closed executive meetings of the
Society of Militant Goddess, established in
1925 and existing with headquarters in
Moscow to this day.
