Fear of Russia Is I-Founded, Dunnington Says
Dr. Lewis L. Dunnington, pastor of the First Methodist church of Iowa City, warned the Young Men's Bureau that fear of Russia has driven U S and British moves for 15 to 16 years. He argued Russia has not been communist since 1921 and now leans right under Stalin. He contrasted state ownership in Russia with private ownership in the United States and warned of a postwar balance of powers with Russia as a growing colossus. He praised Winston Churchill but urged his replacement after the war with a leader like Anthony Eden, and critiqued Churchill Roosevel and Stalin over the Atlantic Charter and India.
