Catholic Information
Is the Golden Rule Sufficient?

"Creeds and dogmas mean noth- ing to me. The Golden Rule is my religion" A common statement. A growing sentiment. A dangerous tendency which bodes iil for the hu- man soul and for the good of our country.
 with the Golden Rule. no real Christian has any quarrel. It is Christ's own command to Hove thy neighbor as myself" But Is that all that God commands? Is that all that Christ taught in His three years of missionary life?
 No Bible staident-no true Chris tian--will concede this. nor can he help but deplore Q condition today which enables mere man with his so-called freedom of conscience" to cast aside one by one Gods eternal truths, leaving himself at last with the Golden Rule alone. which he too often follows merely from an innate sense of decency

ference was sponsored by the six New England governors and more than 70 New England development and official agencies.
 Discussing the CAA program for planned airport development, Law paid tribute to New England fore sight in this field. "New England" he said, twas one of the first sec. tions of the country to prepare Q definite airport plan, which has been sent out 10 other sections to review and be used as an example I am pleased to state that the mili- tary authorities, working with the CAA, found that his planning also fitted into their needs"
 He pointed out that the country as whole Is now suffering from an acute shortage of airports, not only for military, but also for civilian purposes. Military construction through the CAA, he said, is being concentrated so fas aS possible in civilian use after the emergency IS past.
 Military aviation has the spot light for the present, yet figures re. leased by the Administrator of Civil Aeronautics on April {, 104l, show that United tSates air carriers flew 3l per cent more revenue miles, carried 65 per cent more revenue passengers, and increased their air express poundage by 66 per cent in February, l04l, over February, 1940. On January 1 of this year pilot cer- tificates were held by 6l,ll3 individ- uals in the United States as against 3l,264 e year ago, 0 gain of i0i.9 per cent. The stimulus to airpiane manufacture brought about by in- creased flying activity is indicated in the number of additional aircraft licensed during the year. On Janu- ary l. lo4l, there were l7,35i certifi- cated aircraft, 35.2 per cent increase over the l2,82o registered on Janu- ary l, l040. These figures do not in. clude military planes of any type.
 "1t would be logical to assume that our airports moved ahead pret. ty rapidly, too, during the past few years. Actually, however, there were B fewer airportS on January l, l94l, than there were two and 6 half yeers ago. Some, of them were better airports, Of course, but in number there was no gain."

NEW NAVAL UNITS
 TO BE ORGANIZED
Holy Cross, Tufts to Re. ceive Federal Assistance
 Under New Plan

President Leonard Carmichael oi Tufts College today announced that official word has come to the college from Secretary Frank Knox of the Department of the Navy indicating that Tufts College has been selected as Q location of one of the new units of the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps, to be established with the beginning of the next aca- demic year. In his letter to Presi- dent Carmichael Secretary Knox said: "The Navy Department has made these selections with the ut- most care and feels confident that Tufts College Is destined to produce an outstanding unit, highly credit. able to the college and the United States Navy"
 Eligibility 10 membership in the new unit will be limited to Tufts College students who are citizens of the United States, who pass physi. cal examinations, and who meet other requirements. Successful com- pletion of the four-year course and of three or four-weeks cruise at the end of the junior year, together with a degree from Tufts College, will, according to the present regu- lations, entitle physically qualified student to a commission as ensign in the Naval Reserve or Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps Re- serve.
 Th0Ee who elect this course at Tufts and who are selected by the naval authorities will carry on reg ular academic work in the engineer ing school or the school of liberal arts except that they will substitute for an elective course in each of the four years one specified course in naval science. These special naval courses during the four years will include instruction in navigation, seamanship, military law, naval ad- ministration, international law, na- val tactics, naval history and lead ership, and other subjects.
 The Navy Department furnishes uniforms, textbooks, and equipment without charge to the students en- rolled in the unit. During the jun for and senior years there is a monthly communication of subsistence to students who maintain satisfac- tory standing and attendance. The total amount of this subsistence for these two years Is about SITS.
 Tufts was one of the eight colleg- es awarded a Naval R. o. T. o unit at this time as a result of an act of Congress making this extension of Naval R. O. T. c. units possible. In New England, besides Tufts college, Holy Cross was also awarded R unit Naval units of this sort already ex- lst in New England ct Yale, Harv- ard, and Brown.
