...revolution Russia's official religion - and consequently "religion" as the Russians understand the term - was about as unchristian a religion as any African mumbo-jumboism. In support of this I offer the following statements made by John MacMurray, eminent professor of moral philosophy at London University (in a review of Julius Hecker's Religion and Communism, in 1934): "I can come ... to only one conclusion and it is a conclusion that all true friends of religion will share - nearly all that religion has been, and has meant, in Russia ought to perish for ever from the face...

For the most part a faithful translation of Joe Davies' book, the picture departs from its text only to leave out Ambassador Davies' occasional reservations about the Soviet Union. Without doubts or reservations of any kind, the film devotes itself unabashedly to endearing the Russians to U.S. audiences...
...Army troops drawn up in the review and the Russian people listening in on radios to Stalin's May 1 Order of the Day last week heard him use, for the first time, the unqualified Casablanca phrase: "Unconditional surrender."

But honestly now, girls, wouldn't it have been better that way--all pals together, as it were--than having...
Writing this long before Thursday, we can't comment on the Navy Review at Soldiers Field. But dress rehearsal looked good to us, especially the smart looking outfit that preceded us. We offer seven cents to the first Midshipman to invite a WAVE to dinner some night, excluding Lee Shannon, who is about to marry one. Company II will raise the auto to 14 cents if Bob McDonall takes...
