...others, pinned her faith in collective security. Since then Belgians have seen the League fumble and haggle while Dictator Mussolini walked into Ethiopia; they have watched Dictator Hitler's Storm Troops calmly goosestep into the demilitarized Rhineland zone (TIME, March 16, 1936), and France form a pact with godless Stalin (TIME, May 13, 1935) whom Belgians, most of them devout Roman Catholics, hate. More recently they have watched 27 neutral nations ignominiously fail to let Spain destroy itself unassisted...
Soviet Editors scarcely knew where they stood on religion last week, printed such official facts as that the League of Militant Godless (i. e., atheists) has fallen in membership from 5,000,000 to 2,000,000; that the Commissariat of Education has just closed five big anti-religious museums which until a few weeks ago were one of the major tourist sights of the Soviet Union; and that the Komsomols or Young Communist Leagues have now abandoned their anti-religious propaganda among Russian youths.

Next he was attached to the legal office of the British Admiralty. Of late years he has served as Attorney General, a post which in Britain does not carry full Cabinet rank. When Novelist Compton Mackenzie in 1932 disclosed some of the secrets of the Intelligence...
...prosperity in Russia of even one priest able to require new parts for his Buick drives the League of the Militant Godless into tantrums. Their Jubilee last week was devoted to exhortations and alarms over what they consider a "New Menace": priests in various parts of Russia have now nimbly inserted Bolshevism into their creed and are preaching what seems to peasants a harmonious blend of Communism and Christianity. The Godless bitterly complained last week that priests have identified themselves so closely with Joseph Stalin's pet collective farms as to announce sternly from their pulpits that peasants...
