RACE SUPERIORITY
CONDEMNED BY WHITE
CATHOLIC EDUCATORS

NEW YORK, Nov. % CAMP y
Disproving the existence of race
superiority several Catholic educa-
tors at the Catholic University of
America, Washington, before the
Catholic University forum, Hotel
Pennsylvania, here concluded that
since pure" race is seldom found
in actual life race cannot be used
ASA determining factor in cultural
achievement.
Speaking on the subject, Racial
ism and the Right of Nations" DR..
Brendan F. Brown, acting dean of
the law school of Catholic univer-
sity, traced the development of race
from the savage phase of the pre-
Christian period down to the pres
ent time. Germany, Japan and other
such nations were condemned for
seeking to massacre or eXpel all
racial minorities within the state

CAPITAL SURPRISED At
.L!BERIAN AIR ROUTE PLAN

WASHINGTON, Nov. % (ANP)
The announcement by the Liber-
ian delegates to the air conferences
that that government intends to es-
tablish air service to the United
States and Haiti after the war, was
greeted with surprise here in Of
ficial circles
The Liberian announcement pro-
posed route between Monrovia and
Washington and another to Port-au-
Prince, Haiti.
So far as could be determined the
possibility of building an airline out
of the West African republic seems
remote in certain quarters here. The
lack of planes or the money to buy
them appear to be the chief draw
backs.
Liberia does have two airfields.
one called Roberts field and another
at Fisherman's lake. The latter is
useable only for seaplanes. During
his visit here last year, former Pres
ident Edwin Barclay saw Liberals
role in the future as the crossroads
of air travel between South Africa
and points north, and between east
and west traffic.

extermlnate all competing nations
if made up of "inferior" races.
"Races change, die, merge with
other races, become modified by ra-
cial intermarriage, but that which
is of its very nature changeable,
can never be the basis of meta
physical body of principles of moral
right and wrong" DR.. Brown
stated
DR.. Regina Flannery Horzfeld,
research associate in anthropology
at the university, in an address on
"Racialism and Rights of Persons"
declared that we cannot judge the
superiority of race by it's suprem-
acy at the present time and that
nothing can be said concerning the
future hierarchy of races.
"The supposedly superiority of
races" DR.. Hereford said, "is a
matter of training rather than
heredity."
The anthropology professor con-
demned the results of intelligence
tests as inaccurate in determining
the extent of cultural differences.
eff at some future date tests are
devised which clearly show innate
differences, these differences will
be slight and of such a nature as to
have little bearing on cultural
achievement" she stated, and added
that as the social and economic en-
vironments Of any two ethnic groups
becomes more alike, so do their test
scores.
Using as his subject, "Racialism
and the Rights of Persons" the
Rev. DR.. Wilfrid Parsons, S. j., pro-
fessor of sociology and politics,
Catholic university, declared that
racialism violates the obligation of
the common good, which is the basis
of the state, its ends and founda-
ton.
'By it's very nature this common
good has the same qualities of uni
versatility and equality as natural
human rights he stated. "When,
therefore, some members of the
community are Systematically ex-
cluded from the enjoyment of the
common good, the common good it
self is destroyed" This, he ex-
planned, is what Lincoln meant
when he said this nation could not
exist half slave and half free"
Racialism violates an obligation
of law, he said. 1t subverts the nat
ural law of God as discovered in hu-
man nature by human reason. In
the United States it violates the
constitution, the bill of rights and
the amendments; it violates the
state laws and the decisions of the
courts
Other violations of which racial
ism may be accused are an obliga-
tion of intellect, and an obligation
of conscience. To be guilty of ra-
cialism, DR.. Parsons concluded, is
to transgress the general law of
the Christian church.
Finally, the Rt. Rev. John NJ
Cooper, head of the department Of
anthropology at the same univer-
sity, brought out the fact that all
the living races of men are de-
scended from common ancestors and
that accumulating facts point,
therefore, (a) to certain superficial
"skin-deep" differences between
the races Of mankind, thinly over
laying the fundamental identity,

Gasoline Deliveries Rise

Gasoline is reported to be reaching the
East coast at an average of 100000 barrels
daily in excess of prewar deliveries. The
deputy petroleum director, Ralph X. Davies,
has announced that last week deliveries
averaged 6,7o0,960 barrels daily. This was
well above the 1,710,ooO barrels during the
week of December last
1t is fair to assume, then, that no further
need exists for curtailing civilian consump-
ton. Unless there is sharp increase in the
demand for military deliveries from this area
it would appear that the supply problem is
well in hand. If, however, war needs in
crease and deliveries from other areas are
not available, there can be no excuse for CT
villain complaint if rationing is frightened now
that gasoline distributions have been placed
on IN equitable basis throughout the country.
No motor vehicle operator could be justified
in resisting additional reductions in his sup.
ply if it is shown, beyond peradventure Of
doubt, that what he would otherwise get is
actually needed for military operations.

Pre-Induction Training

It is the opinion of Maj. Ralph c. Wenrich,
executive officer of the Perturbation Training
branch of the Army service forces, that boys
of is and II should now be trained in some
occupational skill in anticipation of their be-
ing called into the armed service during the
next two years. One hundred thousand boys
are reaching the age Of 10 monthly, he said,
and it is from their ranks that a substantial
part of military forces will be drawn.
Pre.induction, training, he said, should cen.
ter upon the skills utilized in military occupa-
tons absorbing large numbers Of men, those
in which current shortages exist and those
which require an extended period OF time in
which to obtain competence"
Major Wenrichs proposal has this in its
ia yor; the more future soldiers and naval
men know in advance about the tasks they
must perform, the less time will they have
to devote to training in camps and special
schools. The advantage Of early training is well
illustrated by the R o. T. c.. members of
which have risen in rank quickly after being
called up for service because they were al
ready well grounded in the rudiments Of mill
tary service.

Federal Employees Mount

The Civil Service Commission reports that
the government had on its pay rolls 2,920,o
employees at the end of January, an increase
of 1924 over December.
This is better than in June OF last year
when the toal of federal employees had noun
ed to 3,0O2, 453. It represents some decrease
in most agencies, but in January there was
an increase of 10,760 in the number OF Navy
Department workers, which could mean that
the vigorous public protest which resulted in
general reduction in government en-
ployes is being forgotten and may have to be
renewed to remind the bureaucrats that the
people still have voice, if not loud one. in
the affairs Of their country.
It would be tremendously helpful it bureau
chiefs could be required to make con-
scientious check of their working stats and
release the members thereof who are not
performing essential duties.

Tail of a Shirt

Because of the manpower shortage and
heavy wartime textile contracts, shirtmakers
are having trouble obtaining sufficient ma
terial to meet civilian needs for shirts They
hope the Office OF Civilian Requirements will
offer them relief as it recently did the knit
ting industry by allocating yarns for civilian
fabrication. Larger ALLEGATIONS are essential,
they say, if the males Of the specie are to
be properly shirted.
They might keep the trade supplied if they
did away with shirt-tails altogether. This is
not such a preposterous proposal as 1t may
appear. Old men well remember that as boys
they wore tailless shirtwaists with buttons
near the neither end which fitted buttonholes
in their knickerbockers.
This had one charming advantage over
present styles, in that boys were not con.
tinually hiking UP their pants as men who
preponderantly now wear belts are compelled
to do. Furthermore. shirt-tails were not con-
tinually riding high, wide and handsome. Boys
could even stoop without an embarrassing
display, which a coatless belted man cannot
escape.
Someway manufacture Of shirtWaists I
men seems much better than some of the
foolish rules emanating from the big shots in
Washington. such as forbidding bakers to slice
bread and requiring tailors to leave cuffs of
trousers, or even telling butchers how to cut
meat

throw ourselves at the feet of Thy
mercy, pleading with Thee to
shorten the time. Our hearts are
wrung by the worlds wounds and

Grant us wisdom and courage to

Put Savings To Work

A. L. Virgins, South Carolina banker, and
president of the American Bankers Assocl-
alton, issues clear warning that if the peo-
pies reservoir Of savings is not soon tapped
private enterprise it will be by govern
ment
Addressing the savings conference OF the
Association in New York he declared failure
to employ these funds would mean that they
would become stagnant, and that the govern
rnent might undertake to use them for public
works, houses loans to business and even Tor
operating costs Of government.
"On the other hand,'' he added, 'this back
ing of savings may be energized through en-
ployment in the field of private investment,
private credit, and venture capital that will
multiply business activity, increase national
income, and add to purchasing power"
Responsibility, of course, rests, he said,
with the owners of savings, and it is up to
them to take risks if they choose. But if the
owners leave their funds in savings banks
the investments will devolve on the bankers.
There is where our responsibility begins, %
he concluded. 'Unless we as bankers, have
tn courage and the faith and the energy to
employ these funds constructively to create
business, to provide employment, and to in
crease the flow of goods to the consumers,
we are inviting stagnation nd economic
strangulation.''
It is one thing to maintain a cash reserve
for domestic or business emergencies, u t
quite another to accumulate savings in ex-
cess of any probable emergency need Such
an excess becomes a drag and in proportion
to its size a brake on the wheels of progress.
Certainly capital at work is more valuable
than stagnant capital.
Mr.. Virgins remarks, intended primarily
for bankers, deserve to be pondered by the
people whose savings exceed their probable
need. An additional reason for putting them
to work through private enterprise is afford
ed by his warning that if this is not done the
government is only too likely to lay its heavy
hand on them. We have had too many ex-
amples Of the governments predisposition to
take what it wants in recent years, whether
it has the constitutional right to do so or not,
not to be apprehensive of its confiscation of
savings too.

Congressional Recess

It probably seems strange to many persons
that Congress can adjourn at this critical
stage Of the war and in face of the many
troublesome domestic problems awaiting solu-
ton. The decision to recess from March 30
to April IL, however, can be viewed as step
in the public and the nations interest.
There has been so much pickering, such
heated arguments, Of late, that 1t will be wise
for the members to 60 home for while and
cool off. The course Of legislation should be
smoother when they come back refreshed.
Another good reason for a recess is that
members will have opportunity to learn at
first hand the attitude of their constituencies,
both as to war politics and domestic affairs.
With this knowledge, and perhaps with great
er appreciation OF their stewardship, they can
return to Capitol Hill with a clearer under
standing of their duties and renewed deter
mination to perform them in a workmanlike
manner, without quarreling

.Japanese Good ImitatOrs

The Japanese are good iraitators. They have
d;snlaved this characteristic innumerable
times A new example is offered by radio
cast from Tokyo relayed fl m Berlin. 1t
proves that the German proficiency in lying
has been adopted by Japanese propagandlsts
This radiocast said that Japanese troops in
heavy attack had occupied part OF the
American positions on Bougainville. A division
and half of American forces were declared
under japanese attack. Now comes the report
Of this action from Allied headquarters in
which it is revealed that some 1000 Japanese
launched a suicide offensive at Torokina on
Boueainville and were promptly thrown back
with 300 dead.
The American communique declares that
American losses were four killed, forty-seven
wounded and one missing. The Associated
Press dispatch dealing with the action, IN
which the Japanese had claimed to have &C.
cupied part Of our positions, says the enemy,
abandoning his customary night attack, came
up against our wire pillbox defenses in the
afternoon, offering perfect targets for our
machine guns and that by o'clock the next
day the fighting was over with the American
perimeter in its original position.
The true fact probably is that the campaign
of attrition which the Allied forces under Gen.
eral Macarthur is waging in the islands OF
the southwest Pacific has driven japanese
forces to desperation, and they are ready to
die rather than 60 on without food or sup
plies. But when Tokyo reports them occupy

defense of his ministry against it's critics at
home He dwelt at length upon his four.ye
plan after the war for readjusting the armed
services to civilian life, compulsory nsur.
ance, government housing and rehabilitation
in general. He spoke disparingly OF his
opponents and throughout lacked both his Gus
tomary eloquence and diplomacy.
Concerning the war he had little to reveal
or to inspire his hearers. The one point he
made which embodies any special significance
is that the war against the japanese may be
ended sooner than he had previously believed
possible. Because of the great offensive Of
American, Australian and New Zealand forces
enemy's island outposts, as well as the de-.
terioration of Japanese shipping and air force,

year ago he considered inevitable after Hit

This was his only prophetic assertion. 9th

and well known accomplishments of the Unit

WITH THE ALLIED BEACH
HEAD FORCES IN ITALY,-(by
wireless)-When you get to Anzio
you waste no time getting off the
boat, for you have been feeling
pretty much like clay pigeon in
a shooting gallery. But after few
hours in Anzio you wish you were
back on the boat, for you could
hardly describe being ashore as
any haven of pea illness.
AS we came into The harbor,
shells skipped the water within a
hundred yards of US.
On our first day ashore, bomb
exploded so close to the place
where I was sitting that a frag-
ment came through the window of
the room next to mine.
On our second evening ashore a
screamer slammed into the hill so
suddenly that it almost knocked us
down with frienght. It smacked
into the trees a short distance
away.
And on the third day ashore, an
80 went off within 20 yards of us.
I wished I was in New York
When I write about my own &C.
casional association with shells and
bombs, there is one thing I want
you folks at home to be sure to
get straight. And that is that the
other correspondents are in the
same boat-many of them much
more so. You know about my own
small experiences, because it's my
job to write about how these things
sound and feel. But you don't know
what the other reporters go
through, because it usually isn't
their job to write about them
selves.
There are correspondents here
on the beachhead, and on the Cas-
sino front also, who have had doz-
ems of close shaves. I know of
one c orre pom e n who was
knocked down four times by near
misses on his first day here.
Two correspondents, Reynolds
Packard of the United Press and
Homer Bigart of the New York
Herald-Tribune, have been on the
beachhead since D-day without a
moments respite. They've become
so veteran that they don't even
mention a hell striking 20 yards
away.
On this beachhead every inch of
our territory is under German ar
tillery fire. There is no rear area
that is immune, as in most battle
zones. They can reach us with
their 88s, and they use everything
from that on up.
I don't mean to suggest that they
keep every foot of our territory
drenched with shells all the time,
for they certainly don't. They are
short of ammunition, for one thing.
But they can reach us, and you
never know where they'll shoot
