"The report of Dr. Louie D. Newton on his mission to Moscow was that of a man who wants eagerly to believe the best. . . .However, it was obvious . . that the Communists had turned their sunny side up to the gaze of this cheery leader of the Southern Baptists. What he saw, therefore, and what he reported was an incredible aspect of freedom in Russia. . . . Anybody who knows Dr. Newton or anybody who knows what the Baptist denomination stands for is not going to think that the Southern Convention President is 'selling Communism.' Nothing has been changed from the Baptist idea of freedom. . . . But there is nothing in that idea to prevent its men from believing, however wide-eyed and innocently, the best of another fellow. The only trouble is that in these power political days it can't safely be done, though Dr. Newton has done it."
