MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, JOHN—AND CECIL 133 America having capital punishment for murder, calls it revenge. Believes Lincoln was a capitalist President and freed the slaves to help capital Gravest danger between the two countries is lack of under- standing of each other's true condition and purpose ... children begging ... gangs of women laborers working beside railroad tracks Everywhere the feeling prevails, "Why does America hate Russia?" Passed through a town that has had no new building in 200 years Film stars unknown Asked a man whether he liked Greta Garbo and he said he had never tasted it Russia is a land of no liberty, much paper money, vast slum areas, some ideals and much determination It is a land of two million bureaucrats regimenting 150 million slaves living in hopeless poverty DeMille had made The Godless Girl in 1928, labeling it "a triumph of Christianity over atheism." While touring Russia DeMille was warmly complimented by Soviet officials on one of his early pictures. The film's title had been changed by the Russians; there was no clue as to which one had so engaged the Marxist mind. In Tiflis, a Russian of previous acquaintance gave the answer. It was Godless Girl In the story Christianity does not triumph over atheism until the last reel. The Russians had eliminated that reel. Now it appeared atheism was approved in American schools.
