l- Milst. s contemporary civilization and. l: Problems, Lhsve long been inter- ested in this Russian thing. Yes, I have been in R/urasla, but it takes more than a. visit, even a long and a broad one. to understand a Brest country. Russia was virtu- ally unknown to Europe till aster 1000: latterly it has stolen the headlines: the liieratdro on it 1| vast and varied.

"No topic for men to consider could be more timely. And ‘you know that there is a definitely re- ligious angle to it. _

"Russia has Just announced a war buhet far greater than the U. S. and. Britain together cori- ‘ ‘ate. M1‘. Grmiyko asks U. S. to destroy its u/lmnlcs. and than Russia will co-operate in world- recons‘ " . The new Russian ambassador to U. S. talks of great possible trade relations. But most of all Mir. Churchill rises in Op- position in Parliament to tell Russia to call a halt, show its hand. oo-operate better. or face a Western alliance, war lf necessary. Ho added that this might well ill-event Wbrld War S, by adJust- lng the world-rivalry of Russia and the Western powers. .

slion Because he Iiacl asked for the Golden Rule between rivals in India, points up. this challenge of Mr. Churchill to Russia to play fair. be a real member of the ‘family of nations.‘ and not to be so obstreperous and intolerant. Great and advancing as she is, she is yet not the whole modern world-far from it (as we shall see). '

Discusses Problem I Of Soviet Russia

Atomic Was-lenses

“Iif she doesn't, there will be a real World War, with simple wea- pons. and truly amphibious (using Mr. Churchill's phrase), over oceans. and continents. and the Pole-c climaxing war in every Dlrticular—and we Canadians. and thehritisluwillbcinthemiddile.

"It is moat vital that Guardians see this lIue straight-see throigh this Iron curtain that mania holds up. if possible.

“How can we really get at scone substantial facts about this enig- matic Russia? Info. tlou. please? My senerai bibli , , or book; (in English alone) on this num- bem 000. ‘Ihese are highly vari- ous. but all true-so far. as they go. Almost anything any one could observe or say cs think about a gigantic revolutionary situ- ation like this. may well be true. But I suggest the following:

“The news items, in magazines It"! IIWHPIPQ-rs, are even more various: but in the Periodical Guide you can eee the mounting volume ed articles about R and the changing estimates d alteration. year by year.

“A better way to get al‘. the fundamental facts, isn't lOIlJHVEl. or even live there for a while, but to be scientific. 1t is only (air to any modern country to take their constitution, as evidence of their idealogyand general pattern of life and affairs. Then take the Statesmarrs Yearbook, right down to date, (except military intelli- gence). where are recorded offici- ally the principal facts and fig- ures, recognized by all countries about each other.

"These are on the same plan for all countries. Make a very com- prehensive analysis, and if you want to see the trends of pro- fits-v, cw. lust take them for s few tcn-year-perlod-s back. - - - This is thinking, by comparison, but that's about the best we hu- mans can do. Then you rnlgl-i‘. take a first class Encyclopaedia. with fuller description of history geography. etc, on the same pal- tern as SYB: and end up by tak- ing s 800d modern Atlas. and be- come an amateur globalist. - - - It's .essentlal today. - - - ‘flien, with this little preparation. start reading your paper. and maga- zines, and those opinionated books that are flowing from the presses.

Russian Diplomacy

"All this is particularly neces- sary in tryins. to be intelligent about a. revolutionary culture like Russia—in many ways the very opposite of all we know as civil- isation. Russian diplomacy is as different as all else about this ex- perimental ' revolutionary culture. But let's try.

"The very fact that the curtain is up, and has bem, even when we were fighting allies, is significant. something is going on. .

"Of course we have a little cur- tain of our own. on this Atomic.

You can't see through an Iron Curtain, but one can see over and around it.

"Do you remember the legend of St. George and the Dragon." St. George, for a thousand years. the patron saint-the splritiof England. Could that be Mr.

byrllfltlfle thalllapahlenaeio- i. '

Churchill's knightly challenge to the advancing mysterious might of Russia-the Dragon in. this case.

“r invite your ‘attention to the issue. now getting critical, of Rus- sia vs. U. S. A.: Va-ticanvs. Krem- lin: totalitarianism vs. democracy: a dictatorship oi’ the proletariat vs. free capitalism. d

The Dragon obviously doesn't like religion-at least not religion as we have known it. We don't hurt ourselves in this mtaitter, when we spend hardly a tenth as much on it as on liquor, and even on charities only a fifth as much. But we do adhere to its ancient ideals of recognition of others. and to the admission that there is a wisdom greater than our own. Time's a screw loose in Russia. and its their denial of religion! 'I‘i'iere's the greatest missionary tat in the world or of history. They need more recognition of the individual in their totalitar- ianism, and we need more regard for the whole ‘*'~“‘a.rlanisns—in our free indlviduallsln. And both regard for this whole and the parts are aspects of religion. They need to recognise the family of nations. history, and God: We need t0 recognise the humblest indiviabisl. Russia's greatest failures are that she cannot avoid purges. forced labor, one party. secret 0011M. and therefore cannot take down the Iron Curtain and really enter the Family of Nations, and recog- nine the merits of the West.
