have no excuse for being fooled longer. M a n y well-intentioned individuals have been deceived by the Communist propaganda that the R(eds are against the Nazis; and other equally well-in tentioned citizens have fallen .for the propaganda that Hitler saved his nation from Communism. It is now clear that Naziism and Bolshevism are not enemies at all, but partners in a plot to destroy civilization. Hitlerism and Stalinism have chosen to fight together, on a common front. As such, they should offer an easier target. Patriotic Americans should now be in a position to root out both isms from their lodgement in the free soil of the American nation. The nature of these deceptive isihs is now clear. O'ur people need no longer be deceived. NEW ANTIRELIGIOUS DRIVE: The tie-up between Russia and Germany is, apparently, the signal for a new drive against religion on the part of the Bol sheviks. Pravda, official Communist newspaper, recently complained that “antireligious propaganda is being neg lected.” In a front-page editorial, it said, “Tens of millions have got rid of re ligion, but it would be incorrect to think that religion has been finally extinguished. Even in cities and among workers there still are people who have not broken with religion. Many continue to observe religious ceremonies and holidays.” It deplored “economic loss due to .the observ ance of religious holidays through the harvest season.” It declared that the authorities were “too mild toward violation of Soviet laws by clergymen” and that criminal penalties should be enforced against the propagators of re ligious faith. “Some schools,” the editorial con tinued, “were allowing children to finish their education still holding religious conceptions.” In agitating for the suppression of the observance of religious holidays, the newspaper declared that “business con ditions would improve if all interrup tions of work during harvest season were eliminated.” THE FRANCES E. WILLARD HOTEL Among Christian people, the Willard Hotel, 536-49 South Hope Street, Los Angeles, Calif., and located between the Church of the Open Door and the Los Angeles Public Library, is known as a Class A Temperance Hotel. With the 320 cosily furnished rooms in its beautiful thirteen-story, fireproof building, this high-grade hostelry en joys the patronage of permanent as well as transient guests. Its manager, F. B. Harrison, has long served the traveling public, and his kindly thoughtfulness makes him an idealshost to the thousands of guests

of the Nazi-Soviet accord, more than four hundred leading "liberal” profes sors, writers, and politicians in the United States issued a joint statement praising and hailing Communism as the “coming system," and acclaiming Soviet Russia as the "rallying center” of the nations opposed to Fascism. Obviously, the Moscow-Berlin pact knocked the props from under this pre tentious “front.” The Red leaders them selves, for once, were left gasping and grasping for an alibi or explanation. Communist newspapers in America adopted a plaintive, almost pathetic, “Say it isn’t so, Joe” attitude .toward Stalin’s brazen sell-out. One did not need to read between the lines to see that the Reds in America were rather thoroughly flabbergasted by Stalin’s be havior. This writer spent a day in Chicago just after the Stalin betrayal of the democracies. Out on the West Side, he found the Communist soap-box orators divided among themselves. A revolution is brewing in their own ranks. Some of them are openly turning on Stalin and calling him the Benedict Arnold, the archtraitor, of the Communist cause. Others shake their heads and lamely try to justify the Stalin procedure. The swastika is now triumphantly fly ing side by side with the red flag in Moscow; and the red flag is now proudly unfurled beside the swastika in Berlin. So far, however, in the United States neither the Communists nor the Nazis have “kissed and made up.” Yet, it seems likely that they must inevitably come to this—if they would carry out on this continent the will of their for eign masters. CLARIFICATION: From the American standpoint, the Soviet-Nazi coalition will serve a specific purpose in clarifying the issue confronting us in the form of these twin menaces. Communist and Nazi de ception should be at an end; our people
