Sir-The Broadcasting Service did its very best to tell its listeners that Mr. N. Collins-who gave several talks on his impressions of Russia-is a devout and active member of the Church of England. Apart from his timid treatment of religion in Russia I was staggered by a statement in his last talk. In this he said that the Western world needs a more positive philosophy in its relation to Communism. I have always regarded Christianity as a _ positive philosophy, as countless others do, and have always found it practical and inspiring. It would be interesting to know what Mr. Collins had in mind. He probably believes that religion is something private, and must under no circumstances be allowed to intrude in public affairs, as in Russia.
