  We refute the claims made by Chaichian and Smilga in a recent paper in Phys
Rev Letters on the impossibility of spontaneous R Parity breaking. Apart from
explaining their error we summarize the results of a more detailed work that
demonstrates explicitly that R parity can break spontaneously at a scale
anywhere in the range 10 GeV to 1 Tev in a simple extension of the minimal SUSY
standard model proposed previously.
