Father Yates Calls
Right of Worship
Chief Freedom

Man is not free to choose be-
tween God and no God today, but
must choose between a true and a
false God" the Rev. Gerald Yates,
Jesuit professor of political science
at Georgetown University, told the
Woman's National Democratic Club
at its Monday luncheon meeting
yesterday.
Speaking on Freedom of Reli-
gion,' Father Yates went on to say
that men are meeting that chal-
lenge on hundred battlefelds of
the world today.
Considering freedom of religion to
be the most important of the Four
Freedoms outlined by the President,
Father Yates explained that the
other freedoms we're dependent on
freedom of worship. Freedom" he
said, means responsibility, and reli-
gion nourishes responsibility; there
fore, the true and full operation of
freedom depends on religion"
The most fundamental of all the
freedoms, Father Yates considered
freedom of religion the hardest to
win. The ideal order of religion in
society he believes to be the order
that gives social peace, true service
to God and individual dignity.
He said that the Catholic believes
his religion to be true, divinely re-
vealed and infallibly interpreted
1T must be spontaneously given
and the church does not arrogate
the right to push man into reli-
gion," he said.
Tracing the strength of religion
throughout the ages, Father Yates
showed that it always has been a
keystone in the state and always has
done the utmost in search for social
unity.
Father Yates said he feels that the
first step in the revival of religion
lies within ourselves and that re-
vival can only take place when we
have found the source of true char
ity, justice and neighborliness.
He discussed how this was being
brought about in spite of the stresses
of war and how the human spirit
still maintains the urge toward God.
He gave examples of natives in the
Southwest Pacific helping wounded
American flyers and pointed out
that East could meet West as long
as the desire for human brotherhood
remained.
Mrs. Francis B. Sayre, president of
the club, presided at the luncheon
and introduced Father Yates. Others
seated at the speakers table included
Mrs. Hale T. Shenefield, vice presi-
dent; Mrs. Norman Littell, Mrs.
Charles Fahy, Mrs. Ellis Meredith
Mrs. Edward Keating, Mrs. Paul
Linebarger, Mrs. Elonzon Tyner and
Mrs. H. c. Walburn.
The speaker for the luncheon
meeting August 16 will be Edmund
Kaufman, Jewish philanthropist
and vice president of the Zionist
organization of America. who will
give the Jewish viewpoint on free
dom of religion.

In 40 Bases Deal
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The State Department announced
last night the British government
had offered to assume the costs of
compensating owners of private
property involved in the establish
ment Of American bases on Western
Hemisphere sites acquired from
Britain in the destroyers- for bases
deal Of September, 1910.
In the original agreement, pro-
viding for the transfer OF so de-
stroyers to Britain in return for
S9-year leases in Newfoundland,
Bermuda, the Bahamas. Jamaica,
Antigua, st. Lucia, Trinidad and
British Guiana, the United States
undertook to compensate owners of
private property for loss by expro-
priation or damage arising out of
the establishment of the bases.
That was more than a year before
the United States became an active
bellgerent and six months before
the passage of the Lease-Lend Act
OF March II, 1941.
In taking over the costs of COM
pensating private owners the British
assume the burden of paying for
properties appraised at approxi-
mately s5,500,000.
However" the State Department
explained, "the total cost to the
British government may be consid-
| erably in excess of this amount,
since, in addition to the actual value
of the private property involved. it
win also include, in many cases, the
cost OF moving and resettlement,
awards to compensate land owners
for temporary loss Of business or
earning power, legal fees and, in
some cases, bonuses which were paid
to induce the owners to vacate i'm
mediately properties urgently need
ed by this Government in order to
speed construction of the bases"
The announcement adds that the
British governments generous Of
fer will. therefore, serve to
make these bases stand out, not
only as effective weapons in time OF
war, but also as tangible reminders
at all times of the friendship and
cooperation of the British govern.

night to protest the dismissal of
John Bovingdon. economic analyst

shutting from one to the other.
The crowds at both meetings ac-
claimed speakers who denounced
Representative Dies for interfering
with civil service appointments, of
which Mr. Bovingdon's was an ex-
ample, and for allegedly restraining
civil liberties and trying to exercise
the right Of veto over all Federal
hiring. Leo T. Crowley, director of

Bovingdon and petitions and post
cards were circulated with a view of
urging the President and members
OF Congress to stop such practices.
Bovingdon Speaks.
Mr.. Bovingdon addressed the
meeting in the auditorium, and then
spoke at the outdoor overflow.
You can see in the insecurity of
one employe the insecurity of ALL"
he said, recounting "factually" the
events Of the last eight days.
MIR. Bovingdon said he would at
tempt in the course of his remarks
to assay as an economist the contri-
button of Representatives Dies to

Last night pumping operations
continued as the liner reached the

A piece of stiff paper rolled to a

the seam is open and clipped closely

Make yourself a ~tailor's cushion for

places them up against the iron and

GREEN TOMATO MINCEMEAT

Green tomatoes now on hand can be
~profitably made into mincemeat for pies
and sandwich Filings. If you can a beef
you may have suet left to make your
mincemeat rich. Or you may use butter
added to the mincemeat either at the
time of making or when the par is open
ed. If you have some canned supper
nong or muscadine hulls, you do not need
raisins for flavor or texture. If your
sugar supply is short you can use sor-
ghum or cane strip for ~sweetening. To
be sure, the flavor will be slightly diff
trent but pleasing nevertheless.
Chopping the vegetables and fruits
with an old-fashioned chopping blade
makes for an interesting texture but
the coarse blade Of the food chopper can
do a good job.
Recipe
2 quarts green tomatoes
2 cups seeded raisins

2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
