Same Old X'mas Behind The Iron Curtain

Vienna, Dec. 24.

The traditional Christian spirit of Christmas has won a great victory behind the Iron Curtain which divides the lands of Eastern Europe from the traditions and faiths which they used to share.

Despite every effort of the powerful masters who dictate to the people of Czechoslovakia, Hun- gary and Rumania, to replace Father Christmas by the pagan Father Winter or Grandfather Frost, there can be no doubt that it is really the Christian Father Christmas or St. Nicholas who is in their minds as they celebrate...
