SEr"lETTkLITS?

There is word expression in the Navajo
language for affection love. When Navajo moth
walks IL to IS miles with her child to place him
in the Indian school for the season, she just hoves
him into the building upon arrival and walks back
home, wi thout word of the hand.
It is nothing for Navajo to spend three hours
making half dozen purchases for the squaw. He
spends from IS 30 minutes between each item just
looking around the store. When he is through talk
ing to relative, he turns his heel without
"see you later.~ He isn't sure he will see
anyone later, ever again, for that matter.
Should Navajo squaw tire of her mate, she need
only gather together his few belor gings and firf
them out the door. That is the end.

Hatred and Confusion

The triple eagles of confusion, fear

propagandists to undermine Ameri-
can democracy can be combatted
only by religions three ideals-faith,
hope and love, the Rev. DR.. Wilfred
Parsons, S. j., political science pro-
fessor of Catholic University, de-
clared today.
Delivering the keynote address OF
a day-long clerical conference at the
Y. w. c. A. Barker Hall under
auspices of the Washington Round
Table of the National Conference of
Christians and Jews, the clergyman
declared the present crisis facing the
world attacks the religion of man
more than any other factor in his
life.
Attacks Foreign Groups.
"All religious groups are united"
he stated, "in believing that human
liberty will not be granted until we
come to realize that human rights
are endowed by God and not by the
state"
The speaker struck out at foreign
groups who are attempting to ac-
celerate our present crisis by in
stilling confusion of mind, by di-
vision of will sowing sowing hatred
and by bringing about moral and
physical fear.
These triple eagles of the propa-
gandist must be fought by the re-
ligion of faith, hope and love-" DR..
Parsons continued.
American System Periled.
He warned that the end of the
American systematic theory and
practice that a man may rise from
a, low economic level to higher
might be at hand. The European
struggle, he added, was merely a
manifestation of the present crisis.
