British Government Opposes
WHO I'm Birth Control Issue

LONDON, (NC) - The British
government has no intention OF
imposing birth control on any
native territory under its juris-
diction. Nor does it believe the
World Health Organization should
impose any such policy on soye-
reign governments.
This was announced TO the House
of Commons by Miss Patricia
Hornsby-Smith, Parliamentary Sec
retary of the Health Ministry.
Miss Hornsby-Smith said that in
Britain itself the present policy is
for National Health Service
clinics to give advice on contra
ception to mothers only in cases
where pregnancy is considered
harmful on medical grounds.
Her Majesty'S government have
set themselves against imposing
anything of this nature on any ter
ritory under our control" she
added. Honorable members will
be in no doubt how readily such
a policy would be misrepresented
as an attempt to control native
populations to the advantage of
white minoritieS."
Douglas Houghton. a Labor party
member, had previously attacked
the government for the negative
attitude" of the British delegates

representatives warned the WHO
that they might withdraw from it
If it continued to favor a policy
Of birth control. H went on to
expand his argument into an at
tack on the Catholic Church.
There are not only, health,
moral, and social aspects of this
question, but there are sectarian
aspects and views on this matter, !"
he said. I'VE must respect re-
ligious opinion. but that does not
mean that we must be silent
under it, much less that we should
submit to it. | believe that dis
ease, misery, death and star
yation are infinitely more inn
moral than any other form of
birth control"
THE longer the policy of the
government is dominated by fear
of Catholic opinion, the longer the
nations of the world ignore the
likely fate of millions" the Labor
member added, "the greater will
be the eventual disaster.
Mr.. Houghton's speech brought
a reply from Walter Edwards, a
Catholic member of his own party,
who accused the speaker OF at
tacking the Catholic principles.

Says Ancient
Church Used
AudiO-V isuals
Modern Teaching Aids Seen
As Adaptation of Devices
OF Religious instruction

CHICAGO-fNC)-Use of audio-
visual aids in teaching religion is
restoration of the Church's an
cient teaching method, the first
convention of Catholic sudio-visual
educators was told by the Rev.
Michael +. Mullen, C.M., of ST.
Johns University, Brooklyn.
He said: After the attack on
doctrine at the time Of the Refor-
nation, the Church foresook the
narrative Scriptural method which
it had used for over 1000 years and
adopted the abstract question-an.
swer method, wherein the exact
definitions of doctrine we're given
to children to b. memorized.
This defensive approach lost
sight of the element of imagery,
story and drama which had been
the Church's heritage.
THE use of audio-visuals IN
teaching religion today is really a
restoration of the Church's ancien,
teaching method.
at combines the elements of the
plcture-story and the qucstion-an.
swer methods so that children. get.
ting their ideas through images,

stand and are moved to initiate.

His Eminence Samuel Cardinal
Stritch, Archbishop of Chicago
welcomed more than 500 educators
to the two-day meeting. Delegates
voted TO appoint a committee to
explore audio-visual needs and IA
cilities of Catholic schools.
