prices, it is pointed out that the eco
nomic organization cannot function
we'll if the price level is frequently
changing.
The first requirement is that the
lowest-paid workingmen be the first
to receive an increase of wages and
that prices be not raised but excess
sive profits reduced. A sufficient
income to the WOrkingman is nee
essary to the smooth functioning Of
the economic system.
Steady Growth Necessary.
Establishment of social order:
It would be unreasonable to eX-
pect that an economic system predi-
Gated on false principles over many
decades could be reorganized sud-
denly. We frankly recognize that
full restoration to Christian social
order is a matter Of steady growth
and not a sudden transition.
The extreme individualists" want
no interference whatsoever from
either government or social pres
sure. They wish to be liberated
from all social responsibility.
On the other extreme, are those
who desire to socialize all resources
or establish state COLLECTIVELY. Per-
secution is the logical and inevitable
result of such economic dictator
ship.
The true remedy will be found ac-
cording to Pope Plus XII in two re-
forms:
l. Re-establishing some form Of
guild or vocational groups which will
bind men together in society ac-
cording to their respective occupa-
tions. thus creating moral unity. q.
A reform of morals and a profound
renewal of the Christian spirit which
must precede the social reconstruct
ton.
