Boston Catholic Paper
Says Stain Inspired
Attack on Vatican
By the Associated Press.

by tIle ASSOelate1 Press.
BOSTON, Feb. 4.-The Pilot, Off
cial publication of the Catholic
archdiocese of Boston, says in an
editorial today that Joseph Stain
alone is responsible for the Russian
newspaper attack against the Vati-
can and that he knows the charge
that the Vatican is pro-Fascist lis
untrue in all its parts"
The editorial, titled I'VE Suspect
Stain Only Because He Invites
Suspicion" reads in part:
Russian newspapers think as
they are told to think, say what
they have been instructed to say.
Whether the quote is from Red Star,
Izvestia, Pravda or some insignifi-
can't sheet in the provinces makes
no difference-it is the voice of
Stain.
Says Stain Expects No Proof.
mo one, not even his most un-
critical American admirer, seriously
challenges the statement that every
syllable Of Soviet print is written
to suit the Red dictators exacting
taste. When the Soviet press ad-
vances a novel and daring sug-
gestion the odds are 100 to naught
that Stain inspired the thought. y. =
Stain does not expect that the
Vatican will offer him proof that
tse holy church's policy is not pro-
Fascist. He is admirably situated
to know that this charge is untrue
In all its parts.
Stain may single out individuals
and nations and lavish abuse on
them. He may insult the church
revered by substantial minority In
this country. Yet some of our own
country people would refuse us the
privilege even of reply.
Blamed Stain for Suspicious.
IF suspicious and fear of Com
munist Russia still persist in this
country, who is to blame? Is it any
ones fault but Stalin's own?
1T is because they love Russians
that Catholics reprobate the system,
Communism, which robs Russia of
liberty, which has tried to drive God
and His mother from Russian soil.
1t is because they love Russia that
Catholics distrust this man, Stain.
who seeks apparently to offer his
people all the kingdoms of the earth.

The Once of Price Administra-

threats Of closed markets in 1--WE
States unless ceilings are raised.
Tobacco men from Virginia, North
Carolina and South Carolina
Georgia and Florida insist they can't
make ends meet with 1914 ceiling
prices announced last week. They
want a 2-cent increase.
OPA, promising an answer late
today. was sympathetic but frankly
perplexed. Deputy Administrator
James F. Brownlee said he was
concerned over contentious thx.
farmers needed higher prices ia
make a profit, but there are other
aspects that must be reconciled.
For example T. s. johnson, direc-
tor OF the Raleigh IN. c. district
ONCE, said the cost of cigarets il
involved. The 1914 ceilings of IS
cents on loose, ungraded leaf and
1917 cents on graded and tied to-
bacco, he recalled, were fixed ir
order to avoid, if possible, an in.
crease in the retail price of Gig
arets.
Thirty representatives of farmers
and warehouSemen were unmoved
by this argument. They said a 2
cent increase for them would not
justify any raise in retail prices be-
cause 1t takes only a pound of to-
bacco to produce II packs of Gig
arets.
The controversy was aired at q
conference here yesterday and OPA
told the adamant tobacco men
there would be an answer in a
hours That, the producers fie.
ured, meant 6 pm. today.
The tobacco men said they ART
prepared to press their fight if tn,
answer is no.
