Communism's Real Menace
Is Destruction Of Religion

THERE can be only one excuse for
= the compla cency with which a
vast segment of the people of this
country view the spread of commu-
nism. They don't know what it
means, they don't know what it is
and they underestimate its danger
to every Individual and the theology
and way of life we have chosen for
our own in these United States.
Hitler's fascism was a political
theory. The communism of Marx
and Stain is not only political, it is
a religion as opposed to the Christ
ian religion as it is possible to ina
CINE. Communism denies the ex-
istence of God; it denies the dignity
of a man or of the family as the
unit for which the state functions; it
bars the practice Of any Christian
religion.
All of western Europe and the
western hemisphere maintain gov
ernments and civilizations based
ON the Christian philosophy of
Jesus Christ. Our own government
is based on these precepts. If this
philosophy of Christianity goes
down, then this government goes
down. And it is in grave danger
in danger because people do not
realize the danger.
Pope Plus has recognized the dan
ger to Christianity in denying the
sacraments of their church to Catho-
lies who profess communism, not be-
cause it is a political theory but be-
cause it is a religion which endan-
gers the foundations of Christianity
and Christian civilization as we
know it.
Communism is the road back to
paganism. There can be no inalien-
able rights of man under commu-
nism; there can be no just powers
with the consent of the governed
under communism; there can be no
Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian,
Christian Science or CO n l C
churches; there can be no free cleo.
tons; no such philosophy as men
being created equal. Most world
leaders recognize only its dangers
politically as moving relentlessly
and aggressively to grab govern
ments. Political and religious lead
ers who think, see communism
breeding in hate and intolerance and
capturing mems minds and souls as
well as their political freedom.
What happens economically in the
home towns of the country turns up
later in the cities. Reports already
indicate that business in these small
er towns is falling off. The fact
that more than IL million new small
businesses have been established
since WI day and that 48 per cent
of American families still have in
comes lower than $4,000 may furnish
a disastrous answer to the question
of how nationwide initiation eventual
1y will end.

FuIIs Church Grows Up

Washington welcomes the debut of Falls
Church as Virginia's youngest city of the
second class The old town, with its his
toric church and shaded streets, long has
been picturesque neighbor of the National
Capital. Now it is growing up in step with
the whole Metropolitan Area, and with its
growth have come urban problems which
it believes can best be met under a
municipal form of government
One of the problems was how to preserve
the independence of the community under
the potential threat of annexation by
expanding Arlington County. If Ar
lington should incorporate as city-a
change long urged by many of its citizens
Now that Falls Church is a city, its in
tegrity as such must be respected. More
over, it can do bit of annexing, itself.
And present plans call for extending the
city limits to include such contiguous resi-
Dental communities as Hillwood, part OF
Sleepy Hollow, Lee Boulevard Heights,
Jefferson Village and City Park.
Under the new setup, Falls Church will
be able to function as a municipality not
only by name but by providing type OF
services fitted to the requirements of urban
life. 1t can finance these improved serv-
ices by tevying taxes and assessing other
levies to meet the cost. The changeover
cannot, of course, be effected smoothly
overnight. But the businesslike way in
which the community has pursued its OBJ
jective augurs well for the success of the
undertaking. There is every reason to
believe that Falls Church will be a first
class city of the second class.

Full Employment

In the light of present figures, it is hard
to believe that only few years ago there
was considerable fear in this country that
our postwar rehabilitation would throw
millions out of work and onto breadlines.
Events have thoroughly discredited the
pessimistic forecasters. Instead of jobleSs
ness, we now have record breaking total
of 6l600,000 jobholders, and Robert c.
Goodwin, director of the United States
Employment Service, declares that another
million will be needed by next June.
According to Mr.. Goodwin our expanded
defense program including the draft, is
one of the factors requiring an increase
in the labor force. Another factor-prob
ably the most important-is that there is
still a marked shortage of workers in the
building and other skilled trades, where
production-notably housings far from
meeting demand. In short, our present full
employment-the highest in American
history-is not yet full enough to satisfy
the wants of the consuming public, and
the supply situation will therefore con-
tinue tight in many fields until more men
and women enter the job market.
This situation-which may boost the
number of jobholders next year to close
to 81, 900 ,000-does more than demonstrate
the hazards of prediction and how wrong
the gloomy prognosticators were toward
the end of the war. 1t indicates, in addi-
ton, that one of the key forces in our
imitation - the tremendous purchasing
power created by full employment-se
certain to grow, stronger. Accordingly,
unless the supply catches up with the
demand faster than expected-the supply
of food, household goods, etc.-an early
decline in prices will be highly unlikely.
In other words, until our production
comes into better balance with our needs,
high living costs must inevitably be q
