Catholic Thought And Opinion
By REV. JAMES J. SULLIVAN

of their crime. When Europe lost this common unity and awareness of a spiritual destiny, Europe be- came sick. This explains how, in her delerium, she has laughed hys- terically at the men who carried out for justice and tried to keep the peace. This explains how she can sob with relief on the shoulder of the man who does what every one took up arms to prevent.
 Sick Man Helpless
 The sick man is pretty helpless. He loses interest in his work. He is unable to make decisions that must be made. He needs attention and waiting on. He becomes as helpless as an infant. He must be washed and fed. He must be told when to rise, if he is able, and when to go to bed. He has drugs to lessen pain, and even anasthetics to remove consciousness, if necessary.
 When a man is spiritually sick he acts in a similar fashion. He loses interest in the real purpose of life. He cannot make moral de- cisionS. He must be led around, tended to, drugged. He loses the pride that comes with health, a pride which prompts man to re- sent coddling and attention and fussing
 This is what has happened to Europe. The fake intellectuals have destroyed, to great extent, the conviction of man that ne is des- tined one day to return to God. Man is infected with a spiritual discontent. His resistance is gone. And that most vicious 'quack', the dictator, steps in and takes over the care of the patient. He makes the decisions for the sick man. He tells him when he may rise, and when he must retire. He tells him what news he may read, and what news he may not. He supplies the necessities of life. He drugs the con- sciousness of the individual with mass parades and mass hysteria and mass murder.
 This is the why of totalitarian- ism-Russian or Italian or German. Our nature abhors a vacuum-phy- sical or spiritual. When the good, clean air of Christian faith van- ished, the fetid breath of the wild isms' rushed in to fill the room.
 Americans On Alert
 We in America must be on guard lest the infection spread here. We must keep our moral resistance high. This can be done only by keeping alive the Christian convic- ton that We are not creatures of the state, but of God. We must not allow the state, or any of its bureaus, to make our decisions for us, or assume our moral responsibilities.
 The trend is here. We see the state bold enough - and stupid enough - to accept this responsi- bility. The state will accept the responsibility for our marriage vows. When the phobia on juvenile delinquency spread across the land everybody asked Why doesn' t somebody do something?' Thou sands of agencies mushroomed overnight to provide more dances and more movies (sex, murder and horror variety) and more diversion for the young No agency has a substitute for individual and family morality

Father Gives Son Diploma

West Point, N. Y, June 5-(UP) Gen. Omar N. Bradley, comman- der of the 12th Army group, pre- sented diplomas today to 953 West Point Cadets, the largest class ever graduated from the U. s. Military Academy.
 Bradley told the Cadets they should remember that wars are won not alone by the bravery of soldiers and by the quality of their leadership, but also by the mass of material provided by the na- tion.'
 Nations, not armies, go to war" Bradley said. Tn preparing your self for a lifetime of service, you will not only train for the leader ship of troops in battle, but also to provide leadership for the nation in the event that wars should re- cur again.
 With the ending of the war in Germany and the return to the United States of many veterans. .. there has been some apprehension of the difficulties with which these men shall readjust themselves to life in their communities.
 True, some will return confused, beWildered or embittered in their attempts to adjust themselves. But the overwhelming preponderance of these American men are returning more matured, greatly broadened mentally sturdier and more im- aginatiye than when they went away"
 First Captain Robert E. Woods, Corning, N. Y, led his class in presenting arms to Bradley. The Cadets stood solemnly in their gray dress uniforms with gold braids and buttons, topping immaculate white trousers. They formed seemingly never-ending line as they marched across the platform in the huge army field house. Bradley presented diplomas to all but two of the graduates.
 Gen. Mark w. Clark, gave a di- plima to his son, William D. Clark It. Gen. Godfrey Reyes presented , diploma to Godfrey B. Reyes.
 Dwight A. Riley, Athens, O.. op-ranking student in the class of 45. drew cheers as he led his slass.

 So We may turn to Herbert l.. Matthews article in the New York ! Times for May 27, 1945. MT. Mat thews is puzzled by what he has observed in Europe since the close ot the war. He is worried because no one has yet made comprehen- slve study of the philosophical background of fascism' His only consolation is that it will be done soon by Carlo Antoni.' q don't know who he is either) MT.

 For faSciSm is a disease. MT. Matthews has come to suspect this after witnessing the recent appalling l, conVulsiOn of the continent. But he will wait for Carlo Antoni to explain it.
 Europe is suffering from a spirit ual malady that bears the unimpos- ing name loss of faith. All during the Christian era the people of Europe were united in one thing. at least. They acknowledged that the reason for their being on earth was that one day they would be in heaven. This common acknoWledg- ment of their destiny made Europe healthy. As long as it was kept in mind the culture of Europe func- toned and developed normally. For the culture of Europe is Christian. There were always deviations of coucse. There was always murder, and pillage and injustice. But the people were always healthy enough to recognize a murderer for what he was; and robber for what he was; and the unjust wore the mark

 FRONT PLACE
tBy Associated Press)

Ever since the Chicago Cubs hit the 24-run jackpot in Boston about week ago they have been hard to get along with, but Charlie Grimm had to use three of his elbowers yes- terday to trim the Phils in the first game l2-6, as Ben Chapmans low ly brethren made headlines in re- verse; amassing r safe blows and still losing by lop-sided count. Ray Prim was the victor on relief but Hank Wyse went all the way on a six-hitter to win the second con- test 9-2 and assure the Cubs of the National League lead.
 St. Louis was rough on a Brooklyn turnout of 32,001 who boosted the Ebbets Field paid attendance to 715,465, almost assuring a season to- tai of million. Charley Barrett and Ken Burkhardt took turns plaguing the Dodgers by identical GA scores.
 Tommy Holmes ran his consecu- tive game hitting streak to 37 by hit ting safely both as his Boston Braves bowed to Pittsburgh, 10-8 and as they plastered the Buccos, with 13-l score.
 Largest crowd of the day and banner turnout of the Detroit season, 53,888 paid, saw the Tigers divide a pair with the New York Yankees. After Hank Borowy had bested Dizzy Trout in the opener, 8-6, de- spite Hank Greenbergs third homer, Al Benton turned back the Tanks, 3-2, in his first complete game since he broke a leg May 24
 Dave Ferriss upped his victory to- tai to IA by blanking Cleveland 60 with seven hits. The tribe evened the count in the second.

DUCK, RAINIER. PERCENTAGES CROW EATER
Coast League Race Begins 10 Trim Down 10 Two
 Northwest Clubs
tBy Associated Press,

It looks as if the Pacific Coast baseball league race will have to be decided in future games between the two leading teams-no other club seems able to chew anything off the fattening percentages of the Port land Beavers and the Seattle Rain ierS.
 Both teams pounded out double header wins yesterday the circuit leading Beavers blanked Oakland 60 and TO for a and 3 series edge while the Rainiers trimmed Los An geles Al and 40 for a seven-out- of-eight games margin.
 Seattle's heavy edge over the Angels pared Portland's league lead to three and one-half games, about the irreducible minimum in this years race between the two north west clubs.
 Tail-end Hollywood also won both of it's Sunday games, beating San Diego, while San Francisco's slipping Seals split with Sacramento. Both Hollywood and Sacramento finish ed the week with 6-2 series margins.
 The Coast League clubs are trav- cling today. Tomorrow night Sac ramento will invade Oakland and Portland will entertain San Fran cisco. The other teams will delay their series openers one day. Los Angeles will take on San Diego in an afternoon doubleheader at Los Angeles on Wednesday, and at night Hollywood and Seattle will tangle in a twin bill at Seattle
