THE VATICAN AND RUSSIA
Sir, —For years we have been bombarded with dogmatic propaganda by G. F. Seward, who so faithfully dishes up the “party line” from Vatican City. It is a pity he did not visit Italy with the New Zealand Division, starting at Bari and finishing up at Florence. He would probably have understood then why the August “Fortune” describes the Italian Communist Party, with a membership of 2,20'0,000 (onetenth of dll male adults) as being the most powerful Communist Party in the world, outside the Soviet Union. I guess it has a big clean-up job to do in the economic sphere. Naturally, if the country’s economy had been run on a truly "Christian” basis, this "menace” would not exist. And I believe the brutes recently voted .to ratify the Lateran Treaty again, ensuring Catholic education in schools! —Yours, etc., A. E. E. IVORY. October 7, 1947. '
