The mongoose came out fighting.
One look at the cobra and there

On the Other Hand
Catholic Church Renews Appeal
For bor.Management Councils

Taft Hartley Act, are clamoring for
further restrictions on the labor
movement. We call particular atten-
tion to the baneful influence OF
certain types of punitive legislation
at the State level which are cal
culated to foster rather than dimin-
ish industrial strife and which are
designed, whether wilfully or not
to cripple the labor movement
rather than reform 1t.
I'm addition we recommend that
the Taft-Hartley Act itself be re-
considered by the Congress of the
United States and that the cum
bersome and obstructive provisions
concerning the labor movement be
eliminated. At the same time its
socially beneficial features should
be retained"
Other suggestions are offered by
the Conference. Some of them
would have been even more timely
during the do-nothing days of the
80th Congress or during the special
session called by the President.
Abuses Call for Action.
I'VE must add" says the state
ment, that there are certain eco
nomic and social abuses which can
not wait upon the full-blown re-
'construction of the social order for
their solution. They call for i'm
mediate action on the part of the
Federal Government.
We refer particularly to the
desperate need for federal housing
legislation. including generous pro-
vision for the erection of low-cost
public housing; for substantial
upward revision of the statutory
minimum wage; and for an i'm
provement in the benefits and an
extension in the coverage Of social
security.
These and other types of social
legislation, at the Federal and
State levels, are so urgently needed
for the protection of the basic liv-
ing standards of American families
that both political parties, even
during an election year, ought to
be working harmoniously for their
speedy enactment.
I'VE cannot play politics with the
economic and social welfare Of the
great majority of our people with
out breeding a spirit of cynicism
and despair for which as a nation
we shall have to pay a fearful
price"

This Changing World
Soviet Issue in Poland Centered
On Move for Socialized Agriculture

in those countries is a matter Of
sheer speculation, but it is to be
noted that the whole movement of
peasant collectivization in the Soviet
block is in its very earliest stages.
The fight has not yet been carried
TO the peasant himself. In Poland
the issue of the farmer versus COM
munism may come to its first major
test outside Russia.
Every one knows what happened
when the Soviet Union collectivized
its agriculture. The result was a
farm strike and mass famine, not
only in the cities but on the farms
as well. The Russian peasant lost
the battle. and was collectivized, but
the cost of the transformation-in
human lives and human welfare
was so great that the ultimate bene-
fit is doubtful. Even Russia has
been forced to modify absolute COL
lectivization, and recognition of the
right of the peasant to maintain his
private garden plot and livestock
besides participating in the collec-
tive farm has provided Russia with
somewhat more food than it would
otherwise have had. At one time this
private trade in foodstuffs outside
tine Soviet official system became
quite a sizable business.
Bearing on France, Italy.
What influence will this agricul-
tural program inside the Soviet bloc
have on those countries where the
Communists are not yet in control,
but represent a considerable portion
of the city proletariat?
In both France and Italy the Com
nunists have been carrying their
fight more into the country districts,
endeavoring to broaden their politi-
cal base with sizable farm men,
bership. In both countries the farm
populations are extremely conserva-
tive, closely attached to the Catholic
church and natural enemies of the
city-born Communist movement
which would alter everything to
favor the industrial workers.
In neither France nor Italy will
the attempt to harness the farmer
to the Communist pillow win any
members for the party. 1t will. if
anything, ALLEVIATE potential men,
bership, for Poland as well as
other Soviet bloc states will set the
farmers of France and of Italy a
living example of what awaits them
under Communist dictatorship.
1t is equally true in almost every
walk of life. Those who live under
freedom and democracy can observe

The statement, of course, is frank
ly "pro-labor." saying at the out
set, -. it cannot be repeated too
often or too emphatically that the
Church founded by Christ-Him-
self a working man-champions the
right OF labor to organize; indeed
it looks upon the widespread or

lutely necessary prerequisite to the
establishment Of industrial peace
and economic justice"
Calls for Council System.
The principal recommendation of
the Welfare Council this year, as
last year, is that labor and man.
agement get together and estab-
lish in this country an industry
council system to promote co-opera-
ton for the common good. Labor
leaders, says the statement. have
repeatedly invited industry to dis
cuss such a project. unfortunately
their overtures in this direction
have been ignored and in some in
stances openly reouffed Or carica-
tured irresponsibly as soclalistic or
worse"
In default Of this free co-opera-
tion," the Conference says, quoting
the Statement on Secularism issued
by the Bishops of the United States
in November. 1947, public authori-
ty is finally invoked to maintain a
measure of economic order, but it
frequently exceeds the just limits of
it's power to direct economic ac-
tivity to the common good"
The Conference finds the Taft
Hartley Act a case in point and
says, Accordingly. we repudiate as
ill-advised and discriminatory the
efforts of those who, not content
with the disruptive effects of the
