slaved peoples.
Now Premier as well as head
of the massive, hardworking
machine which is the Soviet
Communist party, Khrushchev
has consolidated his power to a
point comparable to that held
by Stalin during his years of
dictatorship.
The belief that has gained
currency in the West that Khru
shchev looks more favorably on
religion than the old line Reds,
in a myth. It grew up because in
November 1 , 1954, Khrushchev,
the master propagandist, called
for a new strategy in the Sovi
et’s approach to religion.
But his declaration that the
stepped-up anti-religious cam
paign had been a failure was
misinterpreted. He actually was
initiating a new “soft” policy of
seeing tolerance toward be
lievers, but at the same time
stepping up anti-religious prop
aganda on the “scientific” level.
It is believed that one major
bone Khrushchev has had to
pick, with Wladyslaw Gomulka,
Polish communist party chief
tain who came to power over
Khrushchevs’ bitter opposition
in October, 1956, has been over
the question of religion.
The Gomulka regime in Pol
and has not only released the
bishops and priests from jail,
but restored religion classes to
the schools. This, according to
informed circles, is outright
heresy in the eyes of Premier
Khrushchev.
Orthodox communist dogma
spells out high in its creed that
“religious superstitions” must
be eliminated — and that means
all religious belief. Khrushchev
is outspoken in upholding this
article of the Red creed.
According to three American
correspondents, who interviewed
him last fall — William Ran
dolph Hearst, Jr., Bob Consi-
dine and Frank Conniff — the
mere mention of God set the
party boss off on a tirade. He
was reported to have summed
it up by saying that belief hi
God makes for a situation which
is “incompatible” with com
munism.
Premier Khrushchev is con-,
sidered a brilliant strategist who
has won his way to overlord
ship in the communist world by
the divide-and-conquer tech
nique. Those who stood in his
way are gone. First it was Beria,
ousted and executed not long
after Stalin’s death five years
ago. Then Malenkov, Molotov,
Kagranovitch and Zhukov were
sent on the road to oblivion.
But the drive against religious
belief was not one of the issues
at stake. It was first and always
power. Now that Nikita Khru
shchev has it all, his “scientif
ic” demolition of faith may be
given greater emphasis.
