ROOSEVELT. eae Letter on Religion. Dear Mr. Litvinoff: As I have told you in our recent conversations, it is my expectation that after the estab- lishment of normal relations between our two countries many Americans will wish to reside temporarily or permanently within the territory of the Union of Soviet Socialist Repub- lics, and I am deeply concerned that they should enjoy in all respects the same freedom of conscience and re- ligious liberty which they enjoy’ at home. As you well know, the government of the United States, since the foundation of the Republic, has al- ‘ways striven to protect its nationals, at home and abroad, in the free exer- cise of liberty of conscience and re- ligious worship, and from all disabil- ity or persecution on account of their religious faith or worship, and I need scarcely point out that the rights enumerated below are those enjoyed in the United: States by all citizens and foreign nationals and by Amer- ican nationals in the major coun- tries of the world. The government of the United States, therefore, will expect that na- tionals of the United States of Amer- ica within the territory of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics will be allowed to conduct without annoyance or molestation of any kind religious services and rites of a ceremonial na- ture, including Baptismal, Confirma- tion, Communion, Marriage and Bur- jal Rites, in the English language, or any other language which is so cus- tomarily used in the practice of. the religious faith to which they belong, in churches, houses or other build- ings appropriate for such service, which they will be given the right and opportunity to lease, erect or maintain in convenient situations. We will expect that national of the United States will have the right to collect from their co-religionists and to receive from abroad voluntary of- ferings for religious purposes; that they will be entitled without restric- tion to imnart religious instruction to their children, either singly or in sroups, or to have such ‘instruction imparted by nersons whom they may | employ for such purpose; that’ they will be given and protected in the | right to bury their dead according to their religious sustoms in suitable and convenient places est>blished. For that purpose and given the right and opportunity to lease, 1a; out, occupy and maintain such buri grounds subject to reasonable sani tary laws and regulations. We will expect that religious groups or congregations composed of nation- als of the United States of America in the territory of the Union of So- viet Socialist Republics will be given the right to have their spiritual needs ministered to by clergymen, priests, rabbis or socialistic functionaries who are nationals of the United States of America, and that such clergymen, priests, rabbis or other ecclesiastical functionaries will be protected from all disability or persecution and will not be denied entry into the territory of the Soviet. Union because of their ecclesiastical status. I am, my dear Mr, Litvinoff, very sincerely yours, Franklin D. Roosevelt. * * * Litvinoff Reply on Religion Washington, D.C., Noy. 17, 1933 My dear Mr, President: In reply to your letter of Nov. 16, 1933, I have the honor to inform you that the government of the Soviet Socialist Republics as a fixed policy accords the nationals of the United States within the territory of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the following rights referred to: by you. 1, The right to “free exercise of |lberty of conscience and religious worship” and protection “from all dis- ability or persecution on account of their religious faith or worship.” This right is supported by the fol- lowing laws and regulations existing in the ‘various republics of the Union, every person may profess any religion ‘r none.

(Criminal Code, Art. 127.) 3. The right and opportunity to| | lease, erect of maintain in convenient situations” churches, houses or other |buildings approptiate for religious} purposes. | This right {s supported by the fol-| lowing laws and regulations: eri belonging to a religious} | Seciety with the object of making pro- | vision for their requirements in’ the matter of religion, may lease under | contract, free of charge, from the sub-! district or district executive commit- tee or from the town soviet, special buildings for the purpose of worship and objects intended exclusively for| the purposes of their cult. (Decree of | April 8, 1929, Art. 10.) Furthermore, believers who have formed a religious society or a group of believers may use for religious meetings other buildings which have been placed at thelr disposal on lease by private persofis or by local soviets and executive committees. All rules established for hours of worship are applicable to these buildings. Con- tracts for the use of such buildings shall be concluded by individual be- leyers who, will be held responsible for} their execution. In addition, these buildings must comply with the sani- tary and technical building regula- tions. (Decree of April 8, 1929, Art. 10.)

The construction of new places of worship may take place at the desire of religious societies provided that the usual technical building regula- tions and the special regulations laid! down by the Peoples Commissieriat| for Internal Affairs are observed.| (Decree of April 8, 1929, Art. 45.) 4. The right to collect from their co-religionists... voluntary offering | for religious purposes.” | This right is supported by the fol-| lowing law: | Members of groups of belieyes and! religious societies may raise subscrip~ | tions among themselves and eollect voluntary offerings, both in the plece of worship itself and outside it, but only amongst the members of the Teligious association concerned and only for purposes connected with the pupkeep.of the place “of worship and the religious property, for the en- gagement of ministers of religion and for the expenses of their executive body.- Any form of forced contribu- tion in aid of religious associations is punishable under the Criminal Code. (Decree of April 8, 1929, Art. 54). " 5. Right to impart religious ‘in-| struction to their children either | singly or in groups or to have such} instruction imparted by persons whom | they may employ for such purpose.” | This right is' supported by the fol- | lowing law: The school is Separated | from the church.

Persons may give or receive religious instruction. in, a private | manner, (Decree of January 23, 1918. | Art. 9). Furthermore, . the . Soviet | Government is prepared to include in a consular convention to be nego- | tiated immediately following the es- | tablishment of relations between ouz | two countries provisions in which na- | tionals of the United States shall be granted rights with reference to free- | dom of conscience and the free ex- | ercise of religion which shall not be | less favorable than ‘those enjoyed in | the Union of Soviet Socialist Repub- | lics by nationals of the nation most favored in this respect. “In this con- neciion, I have the honor to call to yout atiention Article 9°of ‘the treaty between Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist. Republics, signed at Moscow October 12, 1925, which reads as follows: Nationals of each of the contract- ing parties shall be entitled’ to hold religious services in churches, house |or other buildings their other their rented, |to the laws of the country, in national language or in any | language, which is customary in | religion.

Furthermore. I desire to state that the rights specified in the above para- | graphs will be granted to American nationals immediately upon the es- tablishment of relations between our | two countries. |.

The right to obiain economic information is lim- ited in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, as in other countries, only in the case of business and produc- tion secrets and in the case of the employment of forbidden methods (bribery, theft, fraud, etc.). ‘To obtain such information, the category of business and production secrets ‘naturally includes the offi- cial economic plans, in so far as they haye not been made public, but not individual reports concerning the production conditions and the gen~ eral conditions of individual enter~ prises. ' 5 me “The Union of Soviet Socailist Republics has also no reason to complicate or hinder the critical ex- amination of its economic organiza- tion. .It naturally follows from this that every one has the right to talk about economic matters or to receive information about such matters in the Union, insofar as the information for which he has asked or which has been imparted to him is not such as may not, on the basis of special regulations issued by responsible officials or by the appropriate state enterprises, he made known to witsiders.
