RALPH McGILL

Communism is mounting a
new, well-thought-out cam
paign against Christianity
which, perhaps sooner than
is comprehended. will pose
inescapable and challenging
tests.
Until the Castro revolution
the subtle, dangerous cam
paign was employed chiefly
in CZechoslovakia and Hun
gary. 1t is being stepped up
in Poland, though less ag-
gressively than in the other
two just named.
In Cuba the propaganda
has proved successful beyond
hope. The propaganda is
built around a central
charge: christianity merely
breaches against poverty, So
cial injustice. racial discrim-
ination, neglect of the old
and sick-communism acts
against them"
Variations of this theme
include an attack on the
Lords prayer. Christianity
says to pray for daily bread
communism provides it."
Castro's propagandistS are
using these charges. They
also mix in some of the
original Russian attacks on
the church at the time of
the revolution.
What has the church
done for you?" asked Castro's
propaganda. 1T has identi-
fled itself with the wealthy,
not the poor. Has it enabled
the poor to own a piece of
land, to have a job, to edu-
cate their children, to pro-
vide medical care for your
sick?"

took place. the question arose
as to how the survivors reached
the island.
Number Unknown
The source said he did not
know, and the Navy said it
would not comment on any
thing connected with the Gu
ban invasion and its aftermath.
The number OF the survivors
is not known, but could not be
large. Fidel Castro'S govern
ment has announced the cap
ture of about 1000 invaders
and claimed that more than
200 were killed in the April
1917 debacle.
Hundreds Of those captured
by Mr.. Castro's forces were

churches while, said the die
tator's agents, many people
went hungry and endured
neglect.
The church also is accused
of having Disseminated
against colored people in
Cuba. The Castro press is
picking up speeches by
Southern Senators opposing
desegregation Of the schools
as evidence to sustain his
attack on Christianity and
America.
Communism here illus
trates the old fable of the
wolf in sleeps clothing. But
there is just enough hard
truth in the propaganda to
make it necessary for Or
ganized Christianity, Protes-
tant and Roman Catholic, to
face up to the facts of life.
The Christian church in
too many pla ces has
preached against social in
justices-and provided little
action. In the field of racial
prejudice and the attempt to
provide equal educational
and job opportunities, the
Christian church is especially
vulnerable. Some churches
actually have been on the
same side as the mobs. Even
more have been silent.
1t is true, of course, that
the development of hospitals
and welfare legislation has
been a feature of Western
civilization where the Chris
tian ethic has been most
influential. But no Christian
