Credits to France or TO Britain or TO any
foreign government should be extended with
some thought of getting paid back.
I'VE must think now" Mr.. Hanes added
"in terms of repayment. We could, for
ample, accept as collateral for any loan the
tobacco monopoly or other monopolies held
by foreign governments.
"The United States could service huge
loan by an assignment of IFS revenues from
taxes, collected on cigarets, tobacco, liquor,
etc. Take last year for example, revenues on
tobacco and liquor were about $4,000 900 900.
Mr. Hanes expressed admiration for the
attitude the British government has taken to.
wards its businessmen.
THE British are making il easy for their
nationals to travel" he said. while Ameri-
cans can't get the consent of their own state
department to 20 abroad, the British are hand.
ing out yisas left and right.
Not only that they are seeing TO it that
their businessmen on the continent are well
cared for. For instance, they've taken over
MaXme's restaurant in Paris. Ii is now the
British Empire Club for British busnes smen.
Food is scarce. Hotel rooms are scsrcer. The
British take care that their nationals are fed
and housed"
COMPARED to the solicitousness Of the
~ British for their own treatment of the
few American businessmen who have man.
aged to wange visa in Washington is rather
grim, according to the picture given by Mr.
Hanes.
Given that Americans could roam a.
freely as the British. they would have 10
sleep in the park and eat in the black market"
Mr.. Hanes declared. There are no facilities
for them, even If they could get yisas which
they cannot"
Using the facilities of the army, it would
be a comparatively easy matter to pave the
way for entree Of American businessmen into
European industrial capitals, Mr.. Hanes
asserted.
with the cooperation of the American
Express Co. the steamship lines and travel
agencies, the army could provide transporta-
tion food and hotel space" he said.

a Great Movement

women, fathers and mothers, teach
ers, clergymen, judges, policemen
authors, journalists, politicians and
all mature and responsible people.
SURELY, then, there is a vital
- place for the great Youth For
Christ" movement in American
life, and A DESPERATE NEED
FOR 1T.
It is almost providential that it
has appeared and had such wide &C
ceptance at such an acute time of
national need
The American communities which
have encouraged and promoted it
have set in motion the best possible
machinery for their material and
spiritual enrichment.
The American churches which are
participating in it are living up to
the great moral purpose which justi-
fies their existence.
The American people who are
giving their time and energies to it's
success are contributing to more
wholesome and beneficial national
life.
But obviously, there are not
enough American communities and
churches and people taking part in
this great religious movement.
1t is tremendously GOOD thing.
1t is getting to be very BIG
thing.

THE travel agencies could meet our ma
port and take over from there. They could
furnish automobiles in which to travel and
they could give our businessmen living quar-
ters and food at normal peacetme prices
don't mean that these civilians should travel
on the cuff"
In every liberated country where he
travelled Mr. Hanes met businessmen anxious
to deal with the United States.
I'm Denmark, in Belgium, in Holland. in
fact in all countries they are eager to buy our
goods" he said IL met businessman in
Copenhagen who told me they could use 100
of our surplus trucks at once. And he des-
perately needed material from the States TO
get his business going again
But how can he get that material when
our surplus remains tied up How can he
deal with American businessmen when the
businessmen can't get 10 him.
MIR. HANES said he found a strong feel
ltl ing among many high ranking officers
in the L. S. occupation forces that our sur
plus material should be turned over 10 Ameri-
can business who paid for it in the first
place
obviously, the army couldn't do this on
its own" he said 1T would he up To Con-
gress. At least, Congress could give L. ;.
citizens the first crack at it-at reasonable
prices"
AS a matter Of common sense, Mr.. Hanes
said, the surplus should not be sent back
home He pointed out that such move would
naturally endanger our own economy and
would strike blow al employment. On the
other hand. Europe's starved markets would
quickly absorb it.
President Trumans action in recommend
ing the amendment of the present Surplus
Property Act which would put one man in
charge Of disposal of our goods in Europe,
was a step in the right direction, Mr. Hanes
said.
This will destroy the former three
headed octopus" he said. But the bill still
>addled upon us has 30 many restrictions that
il is almost impossible for those charged with
its responsibility to operate il successfully"

II for attractive recreation and en-
tertainment, for moral and spiritual
guidance and for religious appeal

the movement is neither good enough
nor big enough.
The Youth For Christ" move
ment is the answer to the skeptics
who have said there is nothing the
American nation can do about it's
rising tide of juvenile delinquency
except to let it run it's destructive
course in the manner of pestilential
disease.
1t is already salvaging the lives

A GREAT religious movement,
n utilizing the resources of the
churches of America for the instruc-
tion and inspiration of the youth of
America, has been gaining tremen-
dous momentum throughout the
nation in recent months.
1t is called the Youth For
Christ Crusade" and it has such an
attraction and appeal for young peo
pie that hundreds of thousands of
young men and women, and boys and
girls, are now participating regularly
and enthusiastically.
In more than thousand cities
and towns Of the United States the
churches and the church people are
conducting these wholesome and
beneficial religious services, and the
earnest and appreciative young peo
pie of all these communities are de-
irving many helpful and pleasurable
benefits from them.
This is one of the best youth
movements" ever organized in be-
half of the young people of America,
and it shows every evidence of being
the nations solution of the problem
of misdirected and neglected youth
activities-a problem which is the
principal cause of the dangerous and
destructive thing we call Juvenile
delinquency"
THE American nation has des-
Il perate need for such a movement,
as the startling crime reports of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
have shown throughout the war
years, and continue to show.
The latest of these reports is for
the first six months of 1945, and it
discloses that in this period there
were 58,04l arrests of persons
UNDER 81 YEARS OF AGE.
These arrests of young people &C.
counted for nearly ONE FOURTH
of all the arrests in the country.
The most SHAMEFUL fact dis
closed is that the age group from
which the largest number of arrests
are made is that including boys and
girls ONLY II YEARS OLD.
This is terrible blight upon our
national life.

General Macarthur Medal
 For Junior Gardeners

With the food battle far from won, intensive efforts are being made by the National Victory Garden Institute to increase the number of Victory Gardens in this country. To enlist the sup port of young people to grow vii tally needed food. and Institute announces the General Douglas Mac Arthur medal which will be awarded to outstanding boy and girl gardeners of the United States. In response to a letter written by Lester J. Norris, chair man of the board of the Institute, asking permission to issue Gen eral Macarthur medal to aid the Victory Garden program, the General replied: Glad to do any thing that will help"
 Any boy or girl may qualify for the General Macarthur medal by meeting the requirements of his or her particular organization based on inspection by local leaders. Under the broad stand ards set up by the National Vic- tory Garden Institute, Boy Scouts and other organizations have es- tablished requirements consistent with the ability of their particular age groups. Contestant must sub init record book after it has been signed by official local chairman or leader who will have visited the entrants garden at least twice during the season.
 Keen competition and better gardens should result from this Green Thumb contest for it is es- timated that not more than ten per cent of the participants in a group shall be eligible for a Macarthur medal, the number of which is limited to approximately 30000 for the entire country.

Catholic Information
How free is free will?

Tis said by some that there's no free will. Like the sunflower, man must turn to his god in the West. Like the moth, he must flutter into the flame. Like the wolf, he must slay the sheep.
 What merit then in being good what fault in being bad? What justice in rewarding the benefac- tor-in punishing the malefactor? What use at all in the Command ments of God or the teachings and warnings of Christ to race with no power to choose between God and Satan?
 Free will! It it the right to do good or bad? Or isn't it the power to choose between right and wrong, between the wise and the foolish, between the difficult and the easy, between Heaven and Hell?
 Because l must stop my car at traffic light, have I no free will? Isn't it rather that freely choose to stop because I approve the law or fear its fangs?
 Because I must labor hard each day, is that proof that free will is
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-05-19

a myth? No, I freely choose be- tween the toll and the depriva tions the lack of my wages would bring.
 That I must not steal, or kill, or covet, deprives me not at all of my freedom of will, but shows that I choose to obey my God be- cause I love or fear Him.
 That I, a Catholic, must as- sist at Mass each Sunday, makes me not mental slave but proves my agreement with the laws which my Church has enacted for my spiritual welfare.
 Freedom of will! A tremendous gift An awful gift! It lifts us high above the beasts or drops us down below the worms. Stupid men who misuse it jam our jails and asylums. Clever men who use it ill, wallow in wealth but dread to die. But wise men freely choose to re- ject the magnified trinkets of the worldly world in order to pay the price that God has put on Heaven.
