Maier, who speaks on the largest regular broadcasting system In the world, the laitheran Hour, with over 30d stations in the ('niter! States and abroad, and who has consistently denounced the Red threat to religion, warued his audience against imagining that "the tfoviel tyrauuy has aUuwwly given way to tolerance.

Without referring specifically to President Roosevelt's statement relative to freedom of worship In Russia, Dr Maier said. 'MTalse of these Communist enemies of Christ ia no better than praise for Judas Iscariot." Outlining the American's Christian case against Red religious tyranny, Dr. Staler issued this Indictment: "The Soviet government has systematically confiscated thousands of church buildings In 1938 the last Protestant church In Moscow. the Lutheran Church of St. Peter and St Paul, was < lotted by the police.
