Success in Marriage
Requires Character,
Conference Told

Any two people can make a sue
cess of marriage, according to Frank
Sheed, British publisher and lee
turer on Catholic dogma, if they
have the willpower. Divorce, he
said, results mot so much in loss
of love as in break in character
i of the individual"
Mr.. Sheed, one of the principal
speakers at the opening sessions
of the Family Life Conference spon-
sored by the National Catholic We'll
fare Conference yesterday at Cath
olic University, said he believed the
war will have little effect on the
number of divorces.
The conference, as explained by
the Rev. Edgar Schmiedeler, di-
rector of the Family Life Bureau,
was called to formulate policies to
combat the growing increase in
juvenile delinquency and parental
irresponsibility. However, he point
ed out that positive, rather than
negative, viewpoint would be
adopted, resulting not in the So
luton of the problems, but the
removal of the problem itself.
OF primary Importance in the
goal toward the establishment of a
Sound social order" is the sancti-
f1cation of marriage and the mar
riage rites, DR.. Schmiedeler said.
Healthy Viewpoint Urged
Declaring that family conditions
in our day are not unlike those
that prevailed throughout the pagan
world in the early days of Chris
tianity," the director urged that
the church carry out a broad pro-
gram of education among its youth
in preparation for marriage and
family life.
THE core" of sound marriage,
Mr.. Sheed declared, is a healthy"
viewpoint. Marriage, he explained,
starts with positive viewpoint, but
tends to turn negative" around two
points, God and SEX" A person
tends to look on God as someone
we may Offend" and sex primarily
as something we may misuse" On
the contrary, he declared, God is
the source of life and love" and
sex is channel Of life and love" "
The love of husband and wife
can be the maniflcant thing it is
meant to be only if both are living
mentally in the real universe, a uni
verse which exists solely because
God wills it and in which each thing
is healthy itself only being as God
wills it."
Birth Control Attacked.
Attacking birth control as shame
full and intrinsically Vicious" the
Right Rev. Msgr. John A. Ryan, di-
rector of the social action depart
ment of the National Catholic We'll
fare Conference, attributed it as the
main factor in the recent decline
of the birth rate"

tice," he declared. make those who

Attributing the recent upswing in
birth rate since 1910 to the large
number of war marriages and the
I'great temporary prosperity" Msgr
Ryan predicted that a downward
trend would follow after the war
with the "long expected condition
OF stationary population" arriving
about 1860.
DR.. Oliver E. Baker Of the Col

istration, speaking at the evening

Adm. John H. Cassidy said today.
Cassidy, deputy chief of Naval

that the full punch of our carrier
based aircraft is yet to be felt by
the Japs. He has felt our short
jabs, but the haymaker is still in
store for him.
"Just slightly over a year ago,
the carrier task group of which my
ship was part, made the first
naval air raid on Rabaul. We were
mighty proud of the fact that we
were able to send 105 planes in on
that attack. Today 1,000-plane at
tacks from our carriers are not un-
common, and that is not the end. -

in a relatively short time, even
though you are limited to special

Of department work. AS OF today,
therefore, you must devote all
your thought to getting back on
your feet and on this all your
friends will join in helping.
I will, Of course, accept your
resignation as Secretary Of State
If you want me to do so. But wish
you would, as an alternative, allow
me to accept it as of January
twentieth, which is the end of our
third term. Perh;.ps sentiment en-
tiers into this suggestion little bit
but it would give me great salts
faction if we should round out the
three terms. That means two
months more, and during that time
I could see you from time to time
and get your advice on some Of the
things that will come before us.
incidentally, when the organiza-
ton of the United Nations is set
up, I shall continue to pray that
you as the father of the United Ma
tons may preside over its first
session. That has nothing to do
with whether you are Secretary of
State or not at the time, but should

to make this great plan for peace
an effective fact. In so many diff

administration, you will continue
to help the world with your moral
guidance.
