Catholic Thought And Opinion
By REV. JOSEPH F. DoNNELLY

not the class struggle but honest cooperation between employer and employe for their mutual benefit The sword and dagger day CE labor must pass. The objective must be justice and industrial peace.
 ''The great mistake that Is made is to possess oneself of the Idea that class is naturally hostile to class; that rich and poor are in- tended by nature to live at war with one another. So irrational and so false is this view that the exact contrary Is the truth. !. Each requires the other. Capital cannot do without labor, nor labor without capital. Mutual agreement results in pleasantness and good ore der; perpetual conflict necessarily produces confusion and outrage" So wrote Leo XIII fifty years ago, and such must be the aim of labor industry relations.
 RACKETEERS AND RADICALS
 We hear criticisms of the racke- teer and the radical and the lack of union discipline. And labor will admit the truth of the charge, not as the rule, however, but the ex- ception. It may be years before labor is rid of it's racketeers. It takes years to develop good leaders, years of education and experience. Those leaders come from the ranks of the unskilled and the unedu- cated and they must be trained and taught. The labor unions would have developed responsible leaders long ago if they did not have to fight year after year against the powerful forces that attempted tc crush their organization.
 Likewise union discipline does moi grow up over night, It must be developed and in the development we may expect many attractions by the undisciplined. Furthermore il the temper of union members and their leaders is not at all times sweet, it may be that the sweetness has been made bitterness by 6 struggle for existence under thC burden of an economic system which Plus XI called "hard, cruel and re. lentless in ghastly measure"
 If we are going to hurl invectivei at labor, it's leadership and its n1is. takes, let us get the facts first. Il certain corporations and individual: had not fought so bitterly against the organization of labor during thu past fifty years, labor today woulC possess both leadership and dis cipline that would be beyond criti. cism. Today labor knows it's faults Given time 1t will correct them Its membership is too really Amer ican to long tolerate irresponsible leadership and radical control.
 BUILDING A NEW
 SOCIAL ORDER
 Labor is on the march. It should not be stopped; 1t won't be stopped It is lifting a weight of social in justice from a people until nov without defense against injustice. This work of bettering the condi ton of the working man should no be the concern of labor alone. I should be the work of all. Every one should put his hand to tn work which falls to his share, am that at once and immediately. That was the injunction of Le XIII.
 After years of struggle labor last has the opportunity to build
 new and more just social order. ] you cannot help 1t in it's struggle, least do not give comfort to thos who still try to defeat the working man in his struggle for justice.

Rent Office Distributes
First Complaint Forms

The nrst group Of complaint forms
for both tenants and landlords under
the District rent control law are
being distributed this afternoon and
formal action on the complaints
will be taken as soon as possible,
Rent Administrator Robert F. Cogs-
well said today.
Mr.. Coeswell said he realizes swift
action is necessary to save money
for hundreds OF tenants and land
lords, since his decisions on cases in
dispute will take effect the day they
are made and will not be retroactive
to January 4. when the law went
into force. He adued, however. that
it Is doubtful if his ONCE will be
sufhciently organized to hold for
nal hearings before the latter part
Of next week. These hearings will
be public.
Right now" Mr.. Cogswell con-
tinued, II don't know whether I
will get 500 or 5000 complaints.
The speed with which cases are dis
posed Of will be governed largely by
the number received"
During his first week in Office, the
administrator has been engaged in
organizing and advising informally
the hundreds Of persons who have
called and written him. 1t is esti-
mated that he has handled more
than 1.500 informal complaints and
requests Of persons seeking clarifi-
cation of the control law.
Mr. Cogswell said tenants living in
nearby Virginia and Maryland con-
tinue to call him, and he reiterated
that his jurisdiction does not extend
beyond the District.

Pope S Law Of Nations
Called Peace Essential

A special committee of Catholic
bishops, in statement released here
yesterday. called for world accept
ance of the law of nations Of Pope
FiuS XII as essential to world peace.
The Pope on Christmas eve out
linsd plan for world peace on the
basis Of what was termed the law Of
nations This law. the bishops as
soGted, is "basicaly nothing more
than right and wrong in interna-
t.cnal relations"
Acceptance Of the law. according
to the committee. does not impose on
any nation the surrender of its
legitimate sovereignty or the aban-
donment of its cultural resources IN
stead. it 'envisions all nations liv-
ing under the law of the all-just God
and prizes righteousness above ma
terial ggrandizement without over
looking the temporal happiness Of
peoples"
The committee was appointed here
last November at an annual meeting
of Catholic bishops for the purpose
of studying the Popes peace plan.
Americas war aims. they point out,
include things which the Pope points
out as requisites for peace.
