POSSIBLE EXTENSION
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN
RUSSIA"
CHURCH REPRESENTATIONS
(Rec. 11 a.m.) LONDON, August 5,
It is understood that the Soviet Ambassador, M. Maisky, will make an important announcement soon regarding an extension of religious- freedom in Kussia.
According to the "Daily Sketch," representatives of British religious bodies, including the Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church, have privately approached the Soviet Embassy seeking assurances on the Soviet's attitude towards religion which would be needed before they would be able whole-heartedly to support the alliance with the Soviet.
M. Maisky received the representations sympathetically and consulted Moscow.
The "Daily Express" reports that M. Maisky has been invited to join St. James's Club, in Piccadilly, the world's most famous diplomatic club.
