BISHOP ON COMMUNISM
SOVIET MEANS NAZI [krom oint own correspondent] HAMILTON. Friday "In spito of all our liolp given and promised, we have not been able to save Finland from a peace which was forced upon it by circumstances over which that brave little country had no control," states the Bishop of Waikato. the lit. Rev. C. A. Cherrington, in his monthly letter in the Diocesan Magazine. "The war with Finland lias revealed Russia in its trne colours and has shown that Soviet is another way of spelling Nazi, and that Russia has given up its Communism (so-called) and has become rather a worse land-grabber than in its imperialistic days. "We are glad that the Labour Party in England is entirely on the side of Finland, and we think that anybody cnllinc himself a Communist had better keep quiet for a bit. After all. Communism is onlyjin economic system, has no connection with the New Testament (although many ignorant people think it has), and "needs a very large number of disinterested and thoroughly unselfish people to make it in any way a success. Where are we to find such people?"
