For Election Day

Necessarily and continually, human life-both
private and socal-finds itself in contact with the
law and spirit of Christ Consequently, by force of
circumstances there arises reciprocal compenetra
ton between the religious apostolate and political
action. Political in the highest sense of the word
means nothing else but collaboration for the good of
the state. But this good of the state" is to be under
stood in very wide sense. Consequently il is on the
political level that there are debated and enacted
laws of the greatest import such those concerning
marriage the family the child the school, to confine
Ourselves to these examples Are these not questions
which primarily interest religion? Can they leave
an apostle indifferent, apathetc?

an, S. j., and published by The
Queens Work in ST. Louis. 1t
is entitled why People Go Com
munist In a very few pages
Father Nolan makes a number
of contributions, one of which
is the existence of communists
beyond the periphery of the
open" party-those under dis
cipline." We call these the con.
cealed communists, and they
constitute the biggest problem IL
the nation and IN eUery city.
Weigh Their Work
These concealed Reds, in deny
ing that they are communists,
are obliged now and then to act
the part. They may even occa-
sionally say or do things which
an open communist cannot do, in
order TO differentiate themsel-
YES from the conspiracy. The 0e.
tober 5 issue of Counterattack,
valuable news review on the
Reds, brings this out we'll in its
discussion of CorlisS Lamont.

Mr.. Vorys Doesn't
Make Sense

Mr.. John NJ Vorys, Congressman from central
Ohio, delivered himself of some pretty fair nonsense
recently In his opposition to the House Resolution
the purpose of which would have been to express
"the sense of this House that the Republic of Ire
land should embrace the entire territory of Ireland
unless the clear majority of all the people of Ire
land in free pebiscite determine and declare to
the contrary"
Nothing could have been more sensible than this
and yet Mr.. Vorys stopped to ridcule in saying
"This is resolution, saying it is the sense
of this House and so FORTH but ii does not make
sense" Where is the lack of sense? OF course if
Mr. Vorys takes it for granted that socsled north
ern Ireland is not part of the whole, neither geo.
graphically or socially then he might have a point
But that just the for the resolution. The
toolong forced political separation of Northern Ire
land should come to end Everyone knows of the
political injustces of that of Ireland all pur
posely continued so that the people would not get
out from under the rule of England.
And for Mr.. VoryS TO compare the Irish situation
10 our relation to Puerto Rico, Hawaii and Alaska
is the purest nonsense. Mr. Vorys, being patriotic
American knows our record with regard to the
Philippines. He knows how stood with regard to
the Dutch possessions in the Pacific He knows our
long tradition and zeal for democratic selfdetermi-
nation Why can he not understand this same desire
among the people of Ireland. Surely he knows that
the present situation is not natural one that il has
practices through many years. How can he call it
anything but sense that the people of Ireland be
given an opportunity to determine for themselves
in truly free plebiscite?
Mr. Vorys should be told by his good friends
back home, Irish and otherwise that his remarks
on the House Bill calling for approval Of the union
of all Ireland did not make sense.

Can We Wage Cold War
Against The Kremlin?

bles on the Kremlin, advocates
of such a course are urging that
we take a positive stand, and
pursue a determined policy. They
argue that the very least we
could do is to refrain from help
ing the Reds put over their pro-
gram, something we have not al
ways done in the past. But, they
say, we must do more than that.
We must encourage the people
oppressed by the communists to
keep striving for liberty, we
must stand ready to lend assist
ance to people striving for free
dom from Soviet domination
when they feel it opportune to
make their real effort. In other
words, such experts argue, we
must work as hard against the
communist plans as the commun-
lists work to make them effective
against us.
1t is contended that If we carry
the "cold war" to the Kremlin as
it has carried it to us, reaching
not only the dissatisfied people
in the Iron Curtain countries but
also the dissatisfied peoples who
are made unwilling segments of
the Soviet Union, the Red rulers
of Moscow will have all they can
do to hold onto their own posi-
tions of preference and will have
to let up on us. 1t might even
lead to the rapid disintegration
of the Soviet Union, which these
experts say is not a really sound
structure today at. all

Don kick Britain

and in general, behave in scan
dalous manner because Lord
Kitchener was guilty of prac-
tices in the Sudan that are not
quite defendabie today.
Totally Contemplate
One has right to expect,
even in the case of the Egyptian
government, a modicum of COM
mon sense and some slight ink
ling of the realities of life in
the world today. 1t is particular
ly inelegant and downright poor
sportsmanship to gang up on the
British at this precise moment
when their situation is painfully
difficult in Malaga and else.

and to me this is the convincing
argument-rarely has an offic.
ial statement been as totally con-
temptible as the Egyptian in an.
nouncing the intention of treat
ing the British troops at Suez as
enemy forces"
This, submit, is nothing short
of outrageous. Some eight years
ago, on the rim Of the desert, the
British were holding the Nazi
avalanche under Rommel, whose
avowed purpose was to capture
Alexandria and bring the Suez
under control of the Axis. The
British alone resisted this on
slaugnt and, outstanding their
strength, managed to throw the
Germans back until North Africa
was saved. During this critical
time when the British were dy-
ing by the thousands on Egvp-
tian soil and in the defense of
the integrity of Egypt, the Cairo
government was neutral and did
not even declare war on the COM
mon enemy There was previous
little Egyptian assistance in de.
Tending the soil of the nation,
this thankless task being left to
those who are now designated
as enemy forces"
We are reaping the harvest of
our own folly in encouraging in.
tense nationalism among peoples
who do not seem to have any
sense of responsibility. The vio-
lent demagoguery shown in Te-
heran is being repeated in Cairo
at a most ill-advised moment. 1t
is now Egypt'S turn to reveal the
rankest ingratitude for their own
saviors. Perhaps it would have
been a good thing, some eight
years ago, to have let Egypt be
run for time by gauleiters out
of Berlin who would undoubted-
ly have proceeded with a human
itarianism and understanding
that far surpasses the British!

Restless Hearts

the age of faith. Residues of the
Catholic code cannot be quite es-
capped even today. The graduate
of a secular university whose
''philosohy of life" forbids him
any higher standards than those
of the jungle may still discover
in himself a number of illogical
qualms when he attempts to live
by his ruthless code. Modern
man is vastly better than his
philosophy permits him any ra-
tional excuse for being.
A Lifelong War
Confronted with a conflict"
in the mind, the average unbe-
lever is apt to rush off to the
nearest psychiatrist to have the
unpleasant sensation of guilt de.
stroyed. And he picks his PSYCHE
artist more casually than he
would choose dentist of a tall

his happiness over to a physic-
ian about whose essential view

ing. Except for a handful of be.
leaguered, deeply religious men
in the psychiatric field, most
practitioners will say, Il can
cure your conflict, but / can't
predict, and won't try to influ-
ence, your decision as to which
side of your nature will prevail"
One Cure
War within the reason itself
is not a happy or a healthy
thing. War between two ulti.
mate goods" can tear ones
mind in two, splitting personal
ity as effectively as schizophren-
la. And for this there is only one
answer and one cure: conver-
sion.
For the natural moral law will
never be downed in any man, no
matter how dissolute his life: he
cannot quite settle down to the
contentment of the sty. And the
state of being divided and torn
between what God has made a
man desire and what his base
philosophy has taught him to
desire will never bring peace.
There is thus no way out of the
human dilemma except surren-
der to the highest good ex-
cept giving up to God
Then the futile and destruc-
tive battle will be ended. Then
the man who has discarded the
ignoble bale of hay called 'he-
donism" or liberal thought"
may settle down in earnest to
his lifelong task of doing bat
tie with his lower self And he
' will find plenty to occupy his
energies in this legitimate task;
he will never have to worry
about an outlet for his energies
if he tries to be a Catholic. But
above and behind his newer con-
flict will be peace, such as the
world of pagan psychiatry can
never give.

to Downing Street, and is con-
vinced that every error of our
State Department stems from
Malevolent British influence,
will find infinite satisfaction in
the new crisis that is looming in
Egypt.
One does not have to be pro-
British to see with extraordinary
clarity the shape of this new
tragedy, following close on the
heels of the Iranian debacle. The
Egyptian case is another exam
pie of the total insanity and abb
Solute Senselessness to which
nationalist frenzy and extreme
ism are leading people all over
the world. Here is the case of a
nation, hot in the pursuit of
what it chooses to call its free
DOM" doing a supreme disserv-
ice to itself and to the world at
one of the most critical of times.
No Greater Folly
There is no evidence at all
that the attitude of the Iranians
or of the Egyptians takes into
account at all the very real dan
ger that hangs over the world.
No greater folly can be conceiv-
eived than to prefer either chaos
which apparently the Iran
ians want-or Soviet penetration
which both Iran and Egypt
may get-to the presence of the
British economically or militar-
lily.
1t is easy to say, of course,
that nationalism is finally hav-
ing its day and that the decades
of British imperialism are now
paying off in these cases of storm
and stress. 1t is not very bright,
however, to argue that the sus-
pension of oil production in Iran
perhaps, ultimate Soviet con-
troll of it's perfectly justified
because in the 10Th century the
British reaped a larger profit
than they really deserved. Nor
is it entirely rational to argue
that it is entirely proper for the
Egyptians to break treaties,

In dealing with the hidden
Reds, it is necessary to show the
weight of their affiliations and
and activities. Correspondingly,
in any community il is advisable
not to label these people as com.
muBiStS, since they may iDiggle
out of that designation. Their
record, as shown by the organi.
zations they join and the atti-
tudes they take, can be used to
advise the public that the ,oeight
of their work aids the Soviet die
tatorshp in forwarding the cur
rent line Of the conspiracy.

OF course, there are times
when it is essential to designate
an individual as a communist,
when proof of such is at hand.

Sible, then the full effects of his
acts and associations cannot be
explained. For instance, in the
New York Times of October 13
there appears an editorial seek
ing TO play down the existence
Of concealed communists in the
Institute of Pacific Relations and
other infiltrated organizations.
Such a stand is amazing, since
the history of the satellite states
tells of the widespread infiltra-
tion which led to their conquest.
Thousands of volumes of records
have been issued by our own
government agencies and other
responsible groups revealing
such infiltration II would be

within the human personality.
A vast amount of human energy
today is expended on the kind
OF futile, wasteful warfare known
to the world of psychiatry as

The conflict" and the "spir-
itual crisis" may seem to be the
same thing, differently tagged.
But they are not. Read any
book of modern psychiatry with
Catholic eyes, and you will
shortly become aware that case
histories reported are almost all
of the type described in the BIZ
bic anecdote of Balaam's ass.

Half the unhappiness of the
modern age comes from this
constant civil war within the
reason of the unconverted man.

God has buried deep within his

The Kremlin has a large and

believe Moscow's greatest fear

these are not Russians; that,
further, the communists are only
fraction of the Russians; that
the Soviet Union is not united at

constantly seeking a way to in
dependence and liberty; that
the countries taken under Soviet
domination behind the Iron Cur
