Berlin,Nov.3.-pretendingnottobeworriedbyeventsinPolandandHungary,the puppetregimeoftheSovietzoneofEastern Germanyappearsdeterminedtocarryonits atheistpropagandainopendefianceofthe wishesofthepeople.

Preparationforthe1957 "youthinitiation,"whichis nothingbutagodlessrite poorlyconcealedbehind patrioticphrases,aregoing aheadfullsteam.Theonly difference,whencompared withthesameprocedures duringthepasttwoyears,is amoreintenseefforttodeceiveChristianfamilies.

Thecampaignswhich preceded"youthinitiation" duringthepasttwoyears weremoreopenlyatheistic thantheonenowcontemplated.Thisnodoubtwas theprincipalreasonfor theirfailure.

ThisyeartheRedrulers meantoproceedmorecarefully,butthepressurethey applyontheyoungergen-erationisnolesssevere.

Thesubjectsannounced fordiscussionstobeheld withyouthswillingtoundergothe"initiation"are meanttoinculcatecommunistprinciplesundertheguise ofcivicinstruction.

Nevertheless,thereal purposeisalltooobvious,as indicatedbyoneofthe topicstheteachersareaskedtotakeupwiththeir candidates.Itreads:"How manlearnedtoconquer natureandtoovercome superstitiousnotions."In communistterminology,of course,"superstition"stands forreligion.

Now,theConventiondefinesgenocideindifferent wordsfromthoseusedby theVaticanbroadcaster, andprovidesmachineryfor takingactionincasessuch asHungary.

Forinstance,ArticleVIII reads:"AnyContracting Partymaycalluponthe competentorgansofthe UnitedNationstotakesuch actionundertheCharterof theUnitedNationsasthey considerappropriateforthe preventionandsuppression ofactsofgenocideorany oftheotheractsenumeratedinArticleIII."

Therefore,thecorrect procedureisforsomeorganisationtopresstheFederalGovernment,asthe localcontractingpartyto lodgea Sovietchargeagainstthe Government,and alsoagainstthevariousindividualswhethertheybe "responsiblerulers,public officialsorprivateindividuals"asmentionedin ArticleIV.

Itisworthnotingthatthe SovietUnionisoneofthe originalsignatoriestothe Conventionhavingdatedit December9,1948. The otheroriginalsignatories areChinese,English,French andSpanish.

ThefactthattheSoviet Union(anaggressornation sinceitsformation)wasa andhasapermanentseaton foundationmemberofU.N., theSecurityCouncil,is proofenoughofthequeer idealsofU.N.'sfoundersTruman,Churchill,Stalin, AlgerHiss,andtheirilk.
