Khrushchev Has His Say on 'God'
and Togroms'; Says National Bars
Disappear Under Rule of Soviets

LONDON (WJA)—"I know
that you have devoted a large
part of your life to the struggle
against religion. But I know
that you do not speak out
openly against religious feel-
ings. I would like to ask you
the following question: does
God exist; does a higher power
exist?"
This was one of the questions
put to Nikita Khrushchev in the
course of an interview with
M. Groussard of Le Figaro, the
Paris daily. The full text of Mr.
Khrushchev's answer has now
been broadcast from Moscow:
"We consider that every per-
son has the right to labor, to
a good life, which human
society can create for all
people. We are for real equal-
ity among people and peoples.
Is that not an expression of
humaneness? Solicitude for a
living person, for the society
in which you live, solicitude
for the life of the people—those
are our ideals, those are our
convictions. I consider that it
is considerably better than to
believe in God and rob the
people working for you, or
to throw them into the street
from plants and factories, as is
being done by capitalists who
believe in God. This question

as to who believes in God and
who does not is not a question
for contention; it is the private
affair of each person. Therefore,
let us not speak in detail on
this subject."
Earlier in the interview,
Khrushchev referred to "Jewish
pogron'is" in the old Czarist
Russia and "other bloody mani-
festations of national enmity
fanned by capitalism" in sup-
port of his claim that "national
harriers disappear only in the
conditions of a socialist society"
and that "only under socialism
is the question of nationalities
rightly solved." Such manifesta-
tions have "disappeared under
the Soviet Government."
