Daily Worker:
Acting as fish-hooks to catch the American workers the New York Evening Post makes much ado about the Knickerbocker series, which through lies, tries to get workers to fight in the interests of the rotten capitalists. The clergy, including the pope in Italy is the worst enemy of the proletariat. The cardinals, nuns, the bishops and the "holy fathers" are alarmed and are showing their venom against the good U.S.S.R. But they will find that they are mistaken, the workers will quickly grasp the charlatans' aim and the corrupt Roman machinery under the leadership of Raskob, Hearst, Morgan will burst like a swollen soapbubble.
