NEGRO APosToLATE
(catholic TranscrIpt)

NSbtAASAaS AAuhoStABti
 Next Sunday, (Sept. O Is the feast of St. Peter Claver, patron oi oil mission work in behalf Of Me- groes in the United States. Pope Plus XII has more than once com- mended this apostolate and urged its promotion and development. Tn our own Diocese we have seen the Holy Fathers mandate faithfully carried out; two certers have been already established. and others are planned
 Racial discrimination is the very antlthesis of Catholicism, the Found- or of which died for all men and made no distinction between human beings on the basis of blood or color. Yielding all too readily to prejudices prevailing in the society in which they live, too many Catholics are less than Catholic in their attitude to their fellows of different origin. We must free ourselves of the blind- CTS we have worn, see others with the eyes of Christ. On Sunday we should pray not only for the success Of the apostolate to the Negro but for the grace to weed out our souls the irrational notions and feeling which may have grown wild there.

Hitlerian Echoes Over Radio Tokyo

No commentator talks Radio Tokyo without the permission and approval of government authorities There fore domestic boadcass to the Japanese people may be said to be quasocal in character Which makes particularly Interesting the recent broadcast reported by Federal Con- n.unications monitors in which Japanese entator urged NpponeSe to study their nations history and pay more attention to politics and the trend of the world at large"
 She further admonished them to remember their "n1s- sonwhch is giving birth to and bringing up good chill dren and increasing the population"
 Sounds innocent enough until you recall that Japans history one of expansion and conquest begged to the cuse that the increasing population needs breathing Face" Therefore what Radio Tokyo really is telling Jap lots of babies Babies now mean future manpower with which to go after breathing Space"at the expense of neighbors, of course.
 To 1t all has more than faint echo of Htlers pre- var build-up for Nazi conqueSt-the emphasis on Ger nanys ancient gories and the demand for and tlebensraum"
