ticularly in Germany itself, fits into the Nazi scheme of things, for Germany today is probably more socialized than Russia. Also it is always important to remem- Der that before Hitler, the Com munist party was one of the strongest in Germany. After Hit Ter, most of the Communists merely became National Socialists.
 All of which indicates that Ambassador Joe Kennedy's dis maI predictions may be right, and that Europe will witness social and economic revolution if the war continues. However, this movement in the end prob ably will be the chief means of ending the war.

JANSENISM PRACTICED TOO
 MUCH; CATHOLICS URGED TO LOOK ON HOST

March 31, 1940. Editor, Waterbury Democrat: Arthur Kuhl in his book, "As l See It" tells of the origin of the elevation of the Host at the sac- rifice of the mass.
 It's an awfully small point, and I shouldn't be at. all excited about it. But an excited. And all be- cause the congregation steadfastly refuses to look at the Host when the priest raises it at the elevation. There's an echo of heresy in that refusal, and I don't like it.
 Of course if ever the time comes when all the people at mass use a missal-God speed the day-I'm go- ing to be able to relax about this.
 Here's the story. There was a time when there was in the mass no elevation. The priest consecrated the Host amid respectful silence, and everyone knew that God had come down to earth again and been born again for sinful man. Then one of those recurrent heretical sects popped up to deny the real presence. Christ wasn't present in the Blessed Sacrament; the conSe- cration was merely pious aping of the actions of the Savior, and He never had any intention of com- ing down to dwell in that little piece of bread. Instantly the Church, far from modifying her practices to conciliate the heretics instituted the elevation, the rais- ing of the Host, to remind people forcibly that here. under the ap- pearance of bread, was their Lord and their God; the act of consecra- tion was pointed up, made more obviously deliberate"
 During the ages of faith, those glorious an much-maligned mid- dle ages, all of the faithful were accustomed to look at the Host, so much SO that Mass was called the act of seeing God. There are many medieval .4ymns that stress this aspect of looking at God, Christ in the Eucharist"
 HThen-- bang = another heresy sprang into being.
 Jansenisnl decided lot ot foolish things, among them that one should not look at the Host at elevation.

has been good, but to the nerve strain, fatigue, and Roosevelt's present wearinesS of being in the White House. Senator Norris re- piled:
 "Mr. President, there are some things "a soldier has to do whether he lives or not. And there are some things more inn pOrtant than living"
 NOTE-It is interesting to re- call that when Senator Norris, now 79 years old, sought to retire from the Senate, PresiGent Rcose- velt was the man who 50 vigor- ouSly urged him to run again that Norris acceded to his wishes. EUROPEAN COMMUNISM
 One development you don't read much about in the cables from Europe, but which is causing causing plenty of worry on the part of Britain's nobility, is the rapid development of Communism in Central Europe-particularly Czechoslovakia, Austria and Hun gary.
 You have to remember that the Communists were stsong in Czechoslovakia before the Ger man invasion, and that for a time they more or less dominated Vienna. Also there was a day when the Bella Kun Communist government ruled Hungary.
 While these movements were stamped out, or kept under cover in the past, intelligence reports now indicate that they are making rapid sub-rOsa prograss again. In CzechOslovakia, for instance, the KladnO coal min- CTS staged such a serious revolt against German officials that the latter backed down.
 Some of the communistic ac- tivity is directed against the Nazi overlords, but some is not. As a matter of fact, some of it, par

 edy for fixed food prices was avail able. 2. By reinstating the medical as- sociation case in Washington, the court held that the learned profes- sions were not outside the laws scope.
 3. Most recently, in the Ethyl gasoline case, the court ruled that patents may not be used to extend a monopoly or to fix prices. TWO KEY PHASES
 AWAIT RULINGS Significance of these rulings goes far beyond the three specific cases involved. In substance, they mean that Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold is being upheld all along the line in his claim that in the antitrust laws the govern ment possesses ample power to keep price structures fluid and to cope with any and all restrictive develop mentS.
 Two more key points are vet to be passed on. These involve, first, suit against various tire con- panieS, in which identical bidding on government contracts is att tackled; and second, the question whether the Sherman act applies to organized labor.
 This latter point comes up in , connection with the building costs drive, which has won most of the headlines but is in fact a relatively minor part of Arnold's broad cam paignu. What Arnold really is driv- ing at is the idea that the govern ment doesn't need broad controls over production in this complex modern world; that it has about all the power it needs to keep the wheels turning if it will only go ahead and use it.
 BELIEVES CAPITALISM
 CAN SURVIVE
 As a matter of fact, Arnold is a freak among New Dealers. For the economic planning, the theorizing and the urge toward centralized control which fascinate most of them, he has no use whatever. Con- trariwise, his own ruthless readiness to step heavily on organized labor's toes has given some of his New Deal confreres the cold Shivers.
 His idea is extremely simple that capitalism can work as well in the middle of the 20th century as it worked in the middle of the 18th, if prices are just kept fluid, if re- strictive combinations are knocked out and if the savings generated by modern techniques are passed on to the consumer. This is much the idea Senator Borah had. It made Borah denounce MIRA, which led the New Dealers to shake their heads and write Borah down as an out-of-date fuddy -duddy. Now Ar mold is making them like it! COURTS DECISIONS
 PEP UP STAFF
 Last July, Arnold's prospects were very dark. Within 10 days he got three crippling lower court re- versals-on the Chicago milk case, the Washington medical association case, and the Madison oil case. Morale of the antitrust division was shot to pieces; he had to call staff meetings and give pep talks to keep things going.
 Now, with equal suddenness, the situation has been changed. Ar holds basic idea may be wrong, but the supreme court is at least giving him plenty of room to try it out.
