tatherS. But there Is very SER
iouS disservice that it does its
children in non-Catholic homes.
II denies them the early self-re-
spect which Catholic children
get from the Confessional, which
can be a kind of Court of kp-
peal from parents judgments in
the moral area.
For the parents, being human,
may magnify some fault out of
all proportion, or take lightly
some offense which is really SER
iouS. What happens? If the child

wisdom of Doctors of the Church

elders mistakes no farther
away than the nearest Confes-
sional. But the non-Catholic child
lacks this resource; he is at the
mercy of his family; and if they
bully him or tyrannlze over him,
his only form of resistance will
be emotional. He can have a
tantrum, he can weep; but he
cannot deal with the problem on
the rational level where it ought
to be handled, because he lacks
the knowledge and has no prob
able means of finding it.
Age Of Reason
This one thing alone must have
saved millions of Catholic chill
dren from growing up to be what
the modern world calls emo
tionally immature" They have
learned early that their elders
make mistakes which can be
calmly corrected in their own
minds. This gives the child of
seven or so a great dignity,
sense of individuality, of having
reached the age of reason" and
having a reason of his very own
to use. But there are other mag
nificent advantages the Catholic
child enjoys:
There is Communion. this
great and beautiful gift of God
to us is entirely personal. No
older, stronger individual comes
in between the child and his
God at the commune, rail. 1t
is the most important act of a
child's day or week, and he does
il in total. mature independence
of other human beings, friends
or family. His knowledge comes
early. then, that he is precious to
God, however small. helpless and
even, perhaps, worthless he may
be in the eyes of others. That
security is very precious pos

Church and State

which, although applying to this
one nation, is symptomatic of
what prevails in a very large
number of them. After explain
ing in theory the n7ture of the
State and Of the Church and the
relations that inevitably exist
between them, the Bolivian Bish-
ops proceed to examine the par
ticular situation in that repub-
lie.
Arbitrary Acts
There is no concordat and no
legal basis for the regulation of
the relations between the two au-
thorities. The national constitu-
ton states that "the State recog-
nizes and supports the Roman
Catholic Church." The express
sion is vague and, since no form
al agreement with the Holy See
has ever been signed, the above
constitutional provision has been
carried out in accordance with
the arbitrary will of presidents
and congresses. The constitu-
tions have invariably provided
that the designation of a large
number of ecclesiastical func-
tions should depend on the civil
authority. The traditional sys-
tenn of royal patronage" that
existed under the Spanish mon
archs has been transplanted into
the Bolivian constitution, and
the state has continued to exert
an undue and totally illegal in
fluence in matters entirely &C.
clesiastical.
The Bishops list long series
of arbitrary acts in which the
State has clearly violated the
rights and authority of the
Church. Converts have been
closed, episcopal palaces taken
over for secular use, and relig-
ious institutions seized for other
uses. Article 221 of the civil
code of Bolivia provides that the
State has full authority over the
clergy and its finances. Other
provisions exist which, even if
not applied, make it easy for any
government so disposed to de-
prive the Church of its property
and its use.
Bolivia does not recognize re-
ligious marriage, nor is baptism
allowed prior to the intervention
of the civil authority. In many
Bolivian provinces and cities To-
cal restrictions of a most vexing
character limit the clergy in the
exercise of its mission. The con-
tribution of the State to the sup
port of the Church is noted as
both totally inadequate and only
a minute part of the value of the
properties and other sources of
ecclesiastical revenue seized by
the State over the years. The
Pastoral Letter concludes with
strong appeal for the removal of
restrictions and real liberty for
the Church.

Reversal DesIrous

This is not a religious issue
in the sectarlan sense of the
word, nor a Catholic-Protestant
issue. Primarily it is a question
of the freedom OF education YER
sus a government or state mon
opoly of education. OF all the
secular organizations in the
United States, surely the labor
movement ought to be the most
fauorably disposed towards the
principle of freedom of educa-
ton, and the most vigorously op-
posed to a government or state
monopoly of education or to any
legislation that tends in this di-
rection. Surely a movement so
Jealous in the defense of the
right of free association, so un-
eompromisingly opposed to any
attempt on the part of any polit-
ical group to suppress this right
or arbitrarily to limit its exer-
else, ought to be just as Jealous
in the defense of the freedom of
education, and just as opposed to
any attempt to penalize those
who choose to exercise thi right
by sending their children to prl.
vate or nonpublic schools.
A state monopoly of education
would be even more dangerous
TO democracy than the suppress
sion or government control of
unions, a la Peron or Tito.
Granted that discriminatory
program of federal aid to edu-
cation will not Immediately re-
suit in such a mononoly, it will
most certainly make it more diff.
fieult for American citizens-in-

CIO members-to exercise the
freedom of education and, OBJ
viously, more difficult for prl-
vate schools to meet the COM
petition of states uppo rt d

pear all over the world. | have
just come across one issued some
months ago and signed by all
the Bishops of Bolivia. It deals
with the touchy subject of
Church and State.
At first glance it might seem
that the statement of the Boliv-
ian Bishops has little if any in
terest for Americans or, for
that matter, for anyone outside
of Bolivia. The problems created
by the hierarchy in the land
locked South American republic
do, however, shed a very consid-
erable light on one problem
which is of the greatest interest
to the United States and espec-
lally to American Catholics: the
status of literal dependence in
which the Church is held in Bo-
Ivia, which applies equally to a
number of other Hispanic Amer
ican nations.
AT Best, Elegant Servi: Jde
There is too much of the view
in this country that the Church
is all-powerful and that the So
called social and economic
backwardness is due to the re-
fusal of the Church to come to
grips with the realities of the
day and meet the challenge of
the hour. | have tried Tor many
years in lectures and writings to
dispel this absurd notion.
The Church in Hispanic Amer
lea is by no means the all-power-
full Institution it is claimed to
be. In country after country it
is Shackled by the State and
submitted to what, at best, is
little better than an elegant
form of servitude. Moreover, the
penetration of secularism has
become SO complete in almost
every Hispanic American coun-
try that any action or even in
tention on the part of the
Church is looked upon as a scan
dalous violation of her jurisdic.
tion and as evidence of meddling
in politics.
If anyone believes the Cath
olic Church enjoys privileged
position in most Spanish coun-
tries, let him mediate the con-
tent of the Bolivian pastoral

our non-Catholic neighbors am
swer differently from year to
year: they look for working

child knows what Life is all
about and that love of God and

Everything else follows from

for Catholic schools lies in this:

WASHlNGToN-(NC) - The
name of Archbishop Aloysius
Stepinac of Zagreb is appearing
in the news again, and some peo-
pie here are beginning to realize
that, by one means or another,
the name of Marshal Tito of
Yugoslavia has been Kept stead
lily before the American people
in recent months.
Marshal Tito already has OBJ
tanned a quarter of billion dol
lars of financial aid from the
Western Powers, and he is seek
ing more.
c. l.. Sulzberger, in front
page article in The New York
Times, has said that Tito will
soon release Archbishop Stepin-
&C from Leopglava prison, where
he has served about five years of
16.year sentence handed down
after one of those infamous Red
trials" Mr.. Sulzberger says
Tito will send the Archbishop
back to his native village of Kra-
sic, where he can live the life of
a private individual ION the con
dition that he does net engage
in political ACTIVITY considered to
be against the interests of the
state Moreover, the Archbish-
op it was said, will not be recog-
nized as the Roman Catholic Prl-
mate of Yugoslayia.
II would seem that Marshal
Tito is trying TO cover up for a
very bad mistake that won him

wood made the Red dictator of
Yugoslavia a benign and lovable
character.
World War III occurs, accord
ing to Mr.. Sherwood's vivid ar
ticle, because of an attempt
made on the life of Marshal Tito
early in the afternoon of May
10, 1852. 1t seems the nasty COM
munists from Moscow are trying
to exterminate the kindly and
much-beloyed tyrant in Yugo-
Slavia. The attempt to kill him is
made by Moscow agents who, dis
guised, get in with a group of
Serbian peasants who have
come to the palace in Belgrade
to serenade gratefully Tito our
little white violet" II seems that
they are deliriously happy about
Tito's program OF collectivized
farming, and are going to re-
ceive some awards for seven
years of aboye.quota production.
That's not the picture of Tito
as people who have lived under
him in Yugoslavia paint it. He
is a communist, a dictator and a
vicious tyrant. He rose to power
with the help of Moscow and the
acquiesence of the United States.
He began at once to exterminate
everyone who might be consid-
cred opposition. And he's still at
1t. He began to persecute all re-
ligion, and particularly the Cath
olic Church, and he has not re-
Tented.

nearly worldwide condemnation.
But at the same time, it appears
that he is trying to wiring the
last bit of favorable publicity
for himself and all possible prop
aganda for Yugoslav communism
from this act.
One can find nothing new in
this latest reported gesture on
the part of Marshal Tito. Some
time ago it was said he was will
ing to let the long-sufferlng
Archbishop out OF prison, if he
would leave his native country.
Both Archbishop Stepinac and
the Holy See made it clear at the
time that this was not accept
able.

"A Sodder Wiser Man. He Rose The Morrow Morn"

Port Angeles. Wash. lP - A University of Washington fac ulty member who defied the traditions of the sea knows better now.
 His sad story came to light when the US. Fish and Wildlife Services exploratory vessel John N. Cobb put in here.
 The university research assis- tant, John Slipp, started it all when he sighted white alba trosS flying near the vessel as Ii was engaged in exploratory deep sea trawling off Cape Flat tery earlier this month.
 Excited by sight of the bird, usually found off the coast of Australia, Slipp asked permis- sion to shoot it and bring it to the university museum as the first known specimen of a white albatross seen in Washington coastal waters.
 The seven crewmen immedi- ately shouted "Non', reminding Slipp of the fate of Coleridge's Ancient Mariner" and the old tradition of bad luck which follows shooting an albatross.
 But because of the, specimens rarity, Capt. Sheldon Johnson reluctantly granted Slipp's re- quest.
 After seven shots Slipp brought the big bird down. And this is what followed:
 The net cables fouled up three times.
 The net caught on the sea bottom and was ripped to shreds.
 The shaft on the main winch snapped.
 It then took the crew 5 and one-half hours to reel in the 1,7OO feet of cable.
 Ted Moellendorf, scientific aide aboard the ship, fell down a hatch ladder and broke rib.
 Slipp became violently sea sick for the first time in his life. The sea was calm.
 Its exploratory work halted by the broken gear, the ship turned back to Seattle. There the cook quit.
