u. 5. Recognizes Aria!
Reqime in Panama buI
Disapproves Coup
Acheson Also DepIores
Dominican Republics
Threat to Neiehbors
By Gornett D. Homer

Secretary Of State Achesor
announced today that the United
States is renewing diplomatic
relations with Panama, al
though it does not approve the
manner in which the present gov
eminent there came to power.
He told a news conference,
however, that he hoped "the cor
dial friendship and mutual re-
spect" traditionally existing be-
tween the United States and PAN
anna will continue now that diplo-
matte relations are re-established.
The decision to recognize the
government of Arnulfo Arias, who
was proclaimed President last
month by Panama's police COM
mander after, the forced resigna-
tion of former President Chanis,
was reached in consultation with
the other American republics, Mr..
Acheson said.
Dominican Action Deplored.
Mr.. Acheson took note of another
tense situation in the western
hemisphere in a statement deplor-
ing Dominican Republic action in
raising the possibility of war
against neighbors accused of har-
boring military forces preparing
to invade the Dominican Republic.
Mr.. Acheson insisted that
proper procedures exist for deal
ing with situations which threaten
the peace among the American
republics without resort to war
Mr.. Acheson noted that there
has been no evidence that any
Intervention or other interference
by any foreign government was
brought to bear in effecting re-
cent changes in the government
of Panama"
He said recognition of the Arias
government follows assurances
that it will fulfill Panama's inter-
national obligations and deter
mination that it is actually ir
control Of Panama and is gener-
ally accepted by the populace.
These criteria are of genera
validity with regard to recogni.
ton of foreign government
changes, Mr.. Acheson said.
Coup Disapproved.
Emphasizing that recognition o.
the Arias government does moi
constitute approval of the manner
in which it came to power, hi
pointed out that I'VE have in fact
publicly deplored the means BY
which the political changes ir
Panama since November 10 were
effected"
With regard to the Dominican
Republic, Mr.. Acheson said it was
reported that President Trujillc
charged this week that a new
plan to invade his country is being
organized abroad. and asked the
Dominican congress for authority
to declare war against any coun.
try which tolerates military forces
in its territory for invasion Of
the Dominican Republic.
Cuba and Guatemala have beer
accused of harboring opponents o1
the Trujillo regime.
Mr.. Acheson said that use o1
the term "war" is entirely in ap.
propriate in relation to any cues.

Priest Fails in
Effort To Bar
BOWLING Color Line

New York-The Catholic Youth
Organization of Brooklyn which
enlisted the support of other Cath
Ole groups failed in its attemp to
have the American Bowling Con-
gress change its constitution in or
der to allow Negro bowlers to join
in its tournaments.
A. B. c, met in convention in
Atlantic City, where this years
national tourney was held. Father
Charles 7. Carw, of Brooklyn, an
executive director of the New
York Bowling Association, took the
floor in favor of the amendment.
AT the same time the National
Committee of Fair Play in Bowl
ing, sponsored by the CIO-United
Automobile Workers of Detroit,
supported the amendment at the
convention.
The A. B. c. has never before
seriously considered the problem,
Father Carow said before going to
the convention. Their promise to
do so this year should result in
their seeing the moral. democratic
and practical implications of the
problem. Many organizations have
already willingly answered the re-
quest Of the Brooklyn c. Y. o OF
sending petitions to the A. B. c.
in favor Of dropping the color
| line in bowling tournaments.
The c. y. o. had sent letters to
ten Catholic interracial councils in
the country to the Catholic col
leees represented in the National
Federation of Catholic College Stu
dents and to other youth organiza-
tons. Meantime, it was pointed
out the State of New Jersey may
look into the Negro ban on the
current tourney as a violation of
its civil rights law.

are held before the State Supreme
Court here on April 5, attorneys

Negro parents in their suit to force
the Merriam School Board to adj
NIT the 81 Negro children of ell
ementary school age to the 500,
900 South Park School, opened to
white children only.
Negro parents have refused to
send their children to the Walker
School, a dilapidated two-room
shack with faulty lighting and
heating, no plumbing facilities, and
no gymnasium, lunchroon, or aud
itorium. Meanwhile they have,
with considerable personal hard
ship, been paying for competent
teachers to provide homes instruc-
ton for their children. The stub
bornness of the authorities with
respect to correcting the discern
inatory conditions has forced the
parents to carry this heavy fin
ancial burden for almost year,
while court action remained pend
ing.

suit filed under a provision of the

What Does Religion Cover?

NET THAT FARMER is not bit
= more idiotic than a Christian
who. when asked about this or that
activity or aspect of life, answers,
'Thats not religion. l have no in

eenced-off pasture for lambs, tiny
garden plot behind thick hedges.
Religion covers the whole
farm, every bit of life from end
to end. Jesus knew this very
well. He never once refused TO
discuss anything on the ground
that Il was not religious.
He cast light on everything that
touched him. He called his followers

Religion And Little Children

This CHAPTER includes the ia
= nous story Of the little children
who were brought to Jesus--evident-
~ quite small children, for Jesus
lifted them into his arms. We do not
hear Jesus saying. Children are
too small for me to take any interest
in them. Wait till they are older.
What good can religion do these
tiny tots?" On the contrary, Jesus
not only blessed them, but held
them UP as models for older people.
IL your church following Jesus
here? Is your church interested
Ia the little children as much as
D. Is In the paying" members?
Or are the little ones showed off

church basement? In your state or

take an interest in the children?
DO children in your section get as
good attention as pure-bred cattle
do?

The Way to Peace
Conflict versus Concord

During the past century scien-
fists have devoted an immense a
mount Of study to the struggle for
existence in the plant and animal
world, and, amid the preplexities
OF social life, mauy have turned
for guidance to the principles
which have been found to hold
good in the lower world OF ma
true. In this way they have come
to regard rivalry and conflict as
necessities of life, and the ruth
less killing out of the weaker
member of society as legitimate
or even necessary means OF inn
proving the race. Bahau'llah tells
us, on the other hand, that, If
we wish to ascend the scale of pro-
gress, instead of looking backward
to the animal world, we must di-
rect our gaze forward and upward,
and must not take the beasts, but
the prophets as our guides. The
principales of unity, concord and
compassion taught by the pro-
phets are very antithesis of those
dominating the animal struggle
for self representation, and we must
choose between them, for they
cannot be reconciled. Abdu1-Baha
says.
In the world of nature the dom
inant note is the struggle for ex-
istence- the result of which is the
survival of the fittest. The law Of
the survival of the fittest is the
origin of all difficulties. 1t is the
cause of war and strife, hatred
and animosity, between human be-
ings. In the world of nature there
is tyranny, egoism, aggression,
overbearance, usurpatlon OF the
rights of others and other blame
worthy attributes which are de-
feets of the animal world. There
fore, so long as the requirements
of the natural world play para
mount part among the children OF
man, success and prosperity are
impossible. Nature is Warllke, ma
ture is blooc.thirsty, nature Is W
rannical, for nature is unaware OF /
God the Almighty. That is why
these cruel qualities are natural
to the animal world.
Therefore the Lord of MANKIND,
having great love and mercy, has !
caused the appearance of the pro-
phets and the revelation of the
Holy Book, so that thouhg divine
education humanity may be re-
leased from the corruption of ma
true and the darkness ofignorance,
be concerned with ideal virtues
and spiritual attributes, and be-
come the dawning place of merci-
full emotions.
"a hundred thousand times, al-
asl that ignorant prejudice, I'M
natural differences and antagon-
istic principles are yet displayed
by the nations of the world to-
ward one another, thus causing the
retardation of general progress.
This retrogression comes from
the fact that the principles of de-
vine civilization are completely
abandoned, and the teachings of
the prophets are forgotten, Bahia
u'llah and the New Era, by j. E. |
Esslemont.
