Catholic Thought And Opinion
By REV. JOSEPH 2. DoNNELLY

arc moved, Ag ho intends, to cons dOmn the whole Of the movement by judging the corner that hO 90 IIiAgnifles, FEO tells the truth but no ig basieally diBhoneBt,
 BEING A "LEBRRALp AND
 BEING LIBERAL
 Some Catholics need . little prod- ding to move them Co c wider think. ing on current questions, Grounded ill sound thinking Catholics have A wide and safe fieid of cooperation with OtheF groups, which eoopeFas ton can be Of great help In many good causes, However there iB Q diB- tinetion between the pFofoBsed "Libs erals" and being liberal, and we think that the following little paragraph from tho Grown EoightB Comment hos . prudent word os warning:
 "ThO only man who can afford to Do c liberal iB ono who has been grounded in good conservative pFin. cipieg. He has . Tfiooring, It keeps him from getting out too for over his head, If you believe in the sovereign independence Of every hue man individual, f your vision is limited by material prosperity alone, # your concept Of tolerance ie cons fined to those who think as you do, k your strength iS in numbers and not based on the BoundnegB of your doctrine You may call yourself Q "Libefap but you will end up most likely aB merely Q rebel against good order, true social justice and the very Fnainstay of society - that word which 'progreSsiveg' hate and degpise - legitimate authority. THE POST CHRISTIAN
 The Standard and Times, diocesan weekly Of the Archdiocese of Philas delphla, writes editorially of these persons whom it calls the "poBt. Chfistians", those people - and there are go many - who having emptied their lives years ago of all spiritual values strive to All Q void iii their lives, the presence of which they are conscious of but which most often they cannot oven idens tify, That Of course is the problem the Church must face in trying to bring the logic Of the Catholic teaching 10 the millions who have tasted c TiorBel Of discolorod religl. 0tis teaching and have passed judg. riient on the whole body of Christian teaching,
 Says the editor:
 "T'ho pFesC Christian often has great natural virtue, and by reason Of inVincibi0 ignorance in the Applicas ton Of moral principles, has not consciously offended against the law of God, His soul is talloW ground for the good seed Of the gospel.
 "0B the other hand the posts Christian has Binned against the light, He has renouneed his own heritage, secuted his own traditions, and shut his eyes to holiness, He treats the revelation of God aB 6 deiusi0n, refuses to accept author. ity of any Kind except under the pressure Of necessity, and Is now arrived at such Q state Of dispair that no doubts tho validity Of his own reasoning, lie started on this course with his eyes wide open, but now he is blind, For him the way home Is Q groping and Q fums bling"

 The editor states that tho princI- pal criticism Of Pegler (Wh0 pF0- fesses to Dc C CathoiIc) has come from Catholic periodicals md from professors Of Catholic colleges, and he suggests that this may De due to the philosophical training given in Catholic colleges which should ens able men SO educated to apply logic " 8ABbHitHbb hhla " bBBk AuSbb rather than siccunib to the strength Of 0ft-Fepeated loose statements,

 capt Dorothy 4. Tomhaye," thB document asserted, stated to. day that she had no comment to make, No explanation or apologies. are n order, She acted in the best interests Of her company"
 sergeant Edith Rutherford, WAC record clerk, had different ideas she said that Corporal sayre was transferred because of "personal 1las" resulting from her run.in with Cpl, Gladys Davis, acting first ser. geant Of the WACS by appointment Of Captain TomhaVc,
 Corporal Sayre, 1t developed. used 70 run the WAC post office but was accused by Corporal Davis one day oI closing Up too early, and then was told to turn over her Keys and not to return to her post,
 Complaint
 Jist necause Marie (thats OCT. poral sayTe again. had words over ner Job with Corporal Davis, Cap. tain Tomhave has 1t in for her" one Of the Sayre faction declared.
 Corporal sayres supporters took those protests, along with some others, to their chaplain who fin turn took them to Col. M. E. Weath erby, the Tt. Belvoir executive of. ficer. An Investigation is now un- derWay.
 Part of the resentment at Cor. poral Sayre's ordered transfer was traced to feling among the WACs here that Yt. Myer is nothing but 6 military SSiberia."
 T don't want to be transferred to Pt. Myer," Corporal sayre said wistfully. T just want to finish out my army days at Belvoir."
 No one remembered to find out if the girls knew that Pt. Myer. which they apparently regard as no place for Q soldier, is also the resi- dence of Gen. George c. Marshall, army chief of staff.

France Now Demands Full Allied Status
BY JOSEPH W. GREGG United Press Staff COFfespOndent)

(Unleed Press Staff C0Ffesp0ndent)
 Paris, Oct. 24 - (UP) - Gen, Charles De daulie's provisional government, finally granted full recognition by the United States, Britain and Russia, demanded to. day that France bo given an equal voice in determining the fate of Germany.
 We believe that heneeforth the participation Of France in oil nego- tiaitnos regarding Germany will be vital not only for herself, but for the other interested powers" For. eign Minister Georges Bidault told Q press conference after announce. ment that the Allied Big Three" had accepted the Do daulle regime
 ''Logically, We should have, 6 place in such discussions, It iB i'm. possible to discuss 0eFmRny-of for that matter, any matters of world imDoFtanee-without France playing on equal role in the diSeusSions."
 As 6 first step, France was ex- pected to seek representation on the European advisory commission, at present composed only Of American, British and Russian delegates
 Displomatle observers believed France would ask for French oeeu. patton Of dermany's industrial RhinelAnd. The French were said to feel also that both the Ruhr and Rhineland should be detached eco. nomieaily from Germany and linked with BeFgium, Holland and north' eastern France. ;.
 Both areas should remain part of Germany politically, however, French sources eontended, taking the attitude that any permanent splitting ID Of Germany proper would only create unnecessary fFie. ton in the future,
 Act As Balance
 French foreign office circles also enyisaged that France, usually working parailely with Britain, would act as a balance between the United States and Russia in future international councils,
 Bidault also told his press con. ference that France was prepared and anxious to do It's share in win. ming the war,
 we are prepared to make the maximum effort within our power" he said. T told the (Ameriean, British and Soviet ambassadors this afternoon that We will con. tribute as many men as we have rifles available"
 Allied recognition makes no change in De daulles status within France. He remains chief of the provisional government of the French Republic. After elections finally are held--probably not until the end of the war-the word pro visionaw will be dropped from the name of the government.
