@. what Is the nature and
purpose Of the Economic Pleb.s-
cite now being conducted In the
Congregational Christian denom-
nation?
A. on Sunday, November 10,
many thousands Of men and wo-
men Of the Congregational Chris
tan fellowship will cast their ball
lots In am Economic Plebiscite.
This Economic Plebiscitc is not
intended to create a denomina-
tional position on the issues voted
upon, but to give the individual
churchman an opportunity TO
weigh and express his Christian
convictions upon these urgent
problems.
The voters will indicate what
they consider their Christian OBJ
legation to be In connection with
the following programs:
]. Provision by government OF
Jobs for those unable to find work
In private employ.
2. Use Of federal measures to
support agricultural prices.
3. Organization Of labor into
national unions.
4. The maintenance or IN
crease Of tariffs and other trade
barriers.
s. The further extension Of
public ownership Of electric utilS-
ties.
9. Organization Of consumer
c1poeratives.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1938-10-22

Z. The further social control Of
our economic system.
Many churches are now carry
ing on an intensive educational
program in preparation for the
Plebiscite.
@. What, according to Catholic
thought, are the conditions neces-
sary for q just war?
A. A state can only justly de-
clare war when 1t Is morally GER
tain that its right are being vio-
lated or are In danger Of viola
ton: when the cause is propor-
tomato to the evils resulting from
war; when all peaceful means OF
settlement have been exhausted:
when there Is reasonable grounds
for assuming that conditions viii
be improved by q resort to war.
q. IL Is true that one Of the
books Of the Bible Is arranged In
puzzle form based ON the Hebrew
alphabet?
A. The book of Lamentations
consists of I'VE chapters, the first
four Of which are alphabetical
acrostics. The first. second and
fourth chapters have twenty-four
verses each, the number Of let
tiers IN the Hebrew alphabet.
while the third has sixty-six
verses, each letter having three
brief verses. The last chapter, 81
though consisting Of twenty-five
verses, Is not an acrostic.
