I have frequently been asked
why the Russian Communists
who are dedicated to achieving
a completely atheist society still
permit freedom of worship. The
answer is self-interest.
Freedom of religious worship
is guaranteed in the Soviet con-
stitution. They have to guard
against contradicting themselves.
Western newsmen would love to
catch them finally abolishing all
freedom of religion. They would
have something to jump on. OF
course, the Communists hope for
the day when everybody will be
so enlightened" that no one
wants to practice any religion.
But as long as religious super
stition" persists the Reds will
leave just enough freedom so
they can point to it in their
propaganda and say: See, we
have freedom of religion"

Pravda Accuses i. ).
OF YaIta Smear

MOSCOW, Mar. 21.-Pravda
has accused the United States
State Department of trying to
smear the Yalta conference by
publishing by no means au-
thentic" documents of the 1945
Crimean parley.
But, the Communist Party
paper claimed yesterday the
alleged effort backfired.
Attempts to discredit the
Crimean conference led only to
discrediting the United States"
Pravda said. Ruling circles in
the United States once again ex-
posed themselves as the enemies
of peace and international CO.
operation. Their actions have
given rise to new suspicious
among the United States part
ners in NATO and have in
creased contradictions among
them"
Ruling circles in the United
States would like to blacken the
whole idea of international
negotiations between great pow
ers and thereby hinder the
lessening of international ten
sion" Pravda charged.
Aggressive circles in the
United States, supporting certain
circles in Britain-first of all
Winston Churchill - necessarily
endeavor to undermine and even
eliminate the Yalta agreement, "
Pravda said. why? Because it
contemplates disarmament and
disbanding all German armed
forces, control of all German
military industry, etc. The So
Wet Union Systematically car
ried out the decisions of the
Crimean conference"

Mr.. Damstroem emphasized
that it was up to the cargo's

ure. And the Russian officials
will admit that it has failed. In
his November decree. Khrush-
chev admitted that the previous
anti-religious campaign proved
ineffective.
st.. Peoples Faith Holds
The fact is that young people
were still being married in
church, baptised and educated in
the faith. They were even be-
coming adept in answering the
ridicule heaped on religion. When
one atheistic lecturer ridiculed
belief in God, because. as he
put it, the world was functioning
so smoothly it did not need a
God. he got this reply from his
listeners: That just shows how
stupid you are and how smart
God is. God is SO intelligent that
he can make a world which can
run by ITSELF"
Communist officialdom took
note of this and told the atheistic
agitators: Look what you have
done to these people. After all
this ridicule they are now ridi-
culing you" This is why Khrush-
chev stressed that the anti
religious propaganda be based
on science and not ridicule.

Assoeloted Press Miittory Attuns Reporter
The United States, whose
greatest military menace today
is the Soviet long-range bombers,
planned a decade ago to present
Russia with strategic air force.
The proposal to deliver heavy
bombers for organizing a stra-
tegic air force during the latter
part of World War II included
an arrangement to have Ameri-
can Air Force personnel teach
the Russians the technique of us
ing a heavy bombardment fleet.
This long-secret plan has now
been disclosed by publication of
the Yalta documents.
If the proposal, which was for
use in the war against Japan,
had been carried out, Russia
would have had a long-range
bomber force almost five years
before she managed to build one
copied initially from planes
seized by the Soviets when Amer
lean crews landed crippled B-29s
on Russian territory.
The idea developed several
months before the February,
l945, Yalta meetings of Franklin
D. Roosevelt. Joseph Stain and
Winston Church. at a time when
preliminary conferences were
being held to consider the posi-
bility of Russian entry into the
war against Japan.
First References to Plan
A message from Maj. Gen.
John r. Deane. who headed the
wartime United States military
mission in Moscow. and another
from w. Averell Hartman, then
Ambassador to Russia, contained
the first references to the pro-
posal. Both were dated Octo-
Der Is, 1914.
MI, Hartman cabled Presi-
dent Roosevelt that Stain said
he would be glad to receive four
engined bombers and instruc-
tors to train strategic air force
for Soviet use in the war against
Japan"
Gen. Deane, in a message re-
porting to the Joint Chiefs OF
Staff in Washington on a meeting
with officials of the Big Three
powers, said: Il then gave them
the strategic objectives which you
authorized me to suggest to them
as coming from you. This of
course included the part they
might play in securing the lines
of communications across the
North Pacific. I told them that
the United States was prepared
to assist the Soviet Union to the
extent consistent with our COM
miments in the war against Ger
many by supplying munitions
and particularly BOA aircraft fol-
building up a Soviet air force
For Use In Far East
In message from Mr.. Harri-
man to Mr.. Roosevelt on October
II, 1914. the Ambassador saio
Stain ''unquahfiedly asserted
that this strategic air force
would be built up for use only
in the Far East"
, Gen. Deane. in a message to
the Joint chiefs on the same date
said Stain was ready to begin
receiving planes as soon as fields
were prepared, but meanwhile
thought 20 planes should be de.
livered for training purposes.

panying documents do not make
