CHURCHES IN RUSSIA
Sir,-On page 118 of his book Soviet Success, the Dean of Canterbury has included a chapter on institutional religion in the Soviet Union. Included in this chapter is a report of a conversation with the Chairman of the All Union Council of Baptists and Evangelical Christians. This chapter and this conversation just about sum up, I think, all that need be said on the matter of religion in the US.S.R. .. Whose word is more to bg relied on -Kravchenko’s or the Dean's? One cannot help suspecting that a large number of those who are concerned with the fate of the Churches in Russia base their con-
cern more on its propaganda value than upon a genuine feeling for religion. A final note of warning. Twenty-odd years of anti-Soviet propaganda culminated in the greatest war of aH time. Let those who indulge in anti-Soviet feeling today search their hearts and ask themselves if they would like to have on their conscience the thought that they helped. pave the way for-a war more horrible than the last.
