\ War of Youth Against Age Seen In Soviet Program of Abolishing All Religion In Communist State| Education Rather Than Violence Is Given By Reds as Means of Crush- ing Piety. BY ED. L. KEEN Berlin, March 1 (UP)—The Soviet Russian Atheist campaign is unique in history of national anti-religious movements in the way it is attempt- ing to outdo religion by spread of a | new culture and a new social order. The world outside would be great- Iy mistaken if it assumed that bol- shevism's war on the church is merely destructive. In the campaign which has agi- tated the western world against the Soviet's religious policy the funda- mental struggle is youth versus age. Besides bringing to bear all of the weapons of propaganda—in it probably is more adept than any sovernment ever has been—the Soviets have planned and developed agencies for spread of education in culture, art and social welfare more | extensively and in attractive than the Russian church tempted under the czars. “We are organizing a new culture and a new social order.” One high rovernment official told me in Mos cow that in those words he marized the whole purpose of the Soviet revolution. Although the sermon on the mount has no place in bolshevist philosophy. which feaches hatred of vour neighbor if he belongs to the capitalist class, the Soviets are striv- ing, and with very considerable suc- cess, to instill a spirit of helpfuln and self-gacrifice on the part of the individual for benefit of the masses. Subordinates Self In this campaign which subordi- nates the individual welfare to the collective good, there was a story told me in Moscow by a non-com- munist Russian which touched di- rectly on the peasant . attitude to- wards religion. Praskovia Stepanovna is an old peasant woman and one of hunreds of members of a small kolkhoz. or collective farm, located in the Ra- menskki district, said my non-com- munist friend, who is a member of 1 group of Moscow intellectuals who recently visited the farm. Praskovia invited the visiting par- iy into her room which is small with three beds against the clean white- washed walls. The walls are decor- ated with postcards and hand-cm- broidered towels while, in a corner, over the dining table, hang several ikons. After describing life in the kolk- hoz she said: “I have four sons and they are all communists (which among other things means they are atheists). form ever at- They make fun of my ikows and T | scold them for it. T am old and still believe in God and the Savior and the Holy Virgin.” She made the sign of the cross| and sighed. “Are you not ashamed to be the only one in the household who still slicks to religion?” asked one com- munist member of the visiting party. “Oh, I am going to pull down those ikons and have them burned,” the old woman replied. “I'll do that as soon as 1 find time to go to town and get some pictures of our revo- lutionary leaders to replace them It was obvious, my friend said, that she did not want this impor- tant corner of the room bare. Aren’t you afraid God will be angry if you do this?” she was asked. “Well. you see.” she replied. “the priest said my sons will go to hell because they are godless. I love my sons and want to go with them.” And she was quite serious about it. It was apparent in Moscow that fhere are many thousands and per- haps millions of Praskovia Step- anovnas in the country of commun- ists. all similarly spiritual victims of this gigantic war for atheism in which the Soviet have ecnlisted & vast number of youths. Little attempt is being made to di- rectly pros tize those who will be gone in a few years and the com- munist leaders know the danger of raising martyrs to inspire the faith- ful, but there is an intensive drive upon those who are young and. in a ew vears, will comprise the whole nation. In this campaign it is youth versus age. Athcists Resent Attack Moscow, March 1 (UP)—The world wide “crusade” against Rus- sia, “Godlessncss” brought its first Liting return fire today from “The Godles itself—widely circulated rropagandist magazine of Soviit atheists. Page after page of the publication | was devoted to a ferocious attack upon the papacy, under the sign ture of Emilian Yaroslasky. head of the society of the Godless and gen- eralissimo of Russia’s anti-religious forces. Lurid historical terrors of the inquisition, political intrigues, and the “mis- deed: of medieval heads of the Catholic church were included Yaroslavsky's broadside against ri ligion. The papacy. Yaroslavsky declarel, represented “‘a shameful page histor, and was responsible centurics of crimes against human: ity It was significant. however, that the leader of the “Godless” his followers to avoid coercion and Jimit themsclves to “agitation awl propaganda.” The magazine declares that it is a mistaken policy to place to musn emphasis on the closing of churches and their removal of bells and reii- accounts of the alleged gious emblems, and argues thut| “education™ should be the reul force behind the movement. This declaration is wholly in lin with the assertion of governmert leaders that the Soviet is doing s | nimost to curb the hotheads who | are violating the law in the fight against religion. Nevertheless, a list of 58 churches and (wo synagogues recently closed which | sum- | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1950. in various parts of Russia was pub- hished today, side by side with Yaro- slavsky's attack on the papacy. The use of violence and perseci- tion as a method of combatting ri- ligion was denied by Peter Smido- vieh, vice president of the Sovi:t Union and head of the church cori- mittee of the central executive co: mittee. Smidovich, who is in the final au- thority in matters concerning the church, discussed the situation wiln the United Press correspondent in the frankest manner. He admitted at the outset that “hotheads in local instances have exceeded legal bounds and employcd violence against believers.” “But here in Moscow,’ he said, HORACE B.
