Fifth Of A Series

mean that we would not have any
publishers.
Mr.. Blanshard writes that several
of the publishers who refused to
publish his book did so because
they we're afraid of Catholic repris-
ais. He offers nothing whatever In
substantiation of his charge. Ger
tainly if any publisher to whom Mr..
Blanshard submitted the book gave
it to an editor who had even an
elementary acquaintance with the
material Mr.. BIanshard was treat
ing, the editor would not have to
read more than a few pages to
have ample reason for refusing to
publish.
But suppose, sometime, pub
Usher would actually find out and
should say frankly and truly that
if + published certain book his
publishing house would probably
be boycotted by American Cathol-
les, or American Protestants, or
American Jews, or labor unionists,
or public school teachers, or any
other group-what is Mr.. Blan-
shard going to do about it? What
can anyone do about it? One can, 1t
seems to me, cite it as proof that
we are still free society in which
publishers can either publish books
or refuse to publish them, and take
the consequences of either course.
Such situation would demon
strate further that members of the
American public, Catholics, Protest
ants, Jews, secularists, agnostics,
and atheists, are free to buy or to
refuse to buy books or magazines;
go to plays or movies, or to stay
away. Those who do not like this
situation will have to put up with
it as long as we remain free So
ciety.

Center Parties Defeat Reds,
Fascists In Roman Elections

ROME-NC)-Rome has been
saved, by a substantial margin,
from the embarrassment of left
list victory in the municipal cleo
tions. Throughout the rest of the
country, the outcome of the ballot
was about as expected.
The city administrations of Ma
plies, Bari and Foggia have been
captured by the rightist bloc, con-
sisting of the monarchists and the
neo-fascist Italian Social Move
ment (MSD. However, political OBJ
servers point out one significant
fact regarding the rightist success
es in these and other places: The
leading party has been the mon
archistS, not the neo-fascists.
This means, according to these
interpretations, that southern Italy,
which is traditionally strongly
monarchist, has retained its views
and has not gone over wholesale
to the neo-fascist movement.
This factor is held important in
this respect: There is still pos
sibility for political education of
the voters in southern Italy in the
direction of genuine democracy.
They can be helped to see the light
as the long-range plans for social
and economic improvement in
these poverty-stricken areas are
beginning to take effect.
In the Rome municipal elections,
the Christian Democrats obtained
1885, votes; that is $4,000 more
than in the municipal elections OF
1947.
The center parties, which includ-
ed the Christian Democrats, obtain.
ed 84,020 votes in Rome, against
3l4,000 for the communist-socialist
leftist bloc, and 100000 for the
neo-fascist-monarchist combination
The majority of the center block
over the leftists is about twice as
high as predicted in the election
forecasts.
According to the latest analysis

consent to live in the United States
and the United States continues
to maintain elementary personal
freedom.
1t may be argued that so many
Catholics will follow the advice or
direction of individuals or organi-
cations in the Church that the con-
demned play or movie will be with
drawn, and the book will be hard
to get, and that this interferes with
the freedom of non-Catholics.. This
again, is in essence in no way diff
ferent from the situation we have
when a play or movie is so roundly
berated by the dramatic critics in a
few New York publications that its
career on the professional stage is
ended for all time. Such are the
hazards of living in free country.
Mr.. Blanshard is disturbed by "a
considerable amount of internal
Catholic influence lin Eric John
ston's office. The movie industry's
Production Code was written by
one of the most aggressive Jesuit
writer's in the country, FIR. Daniel
Lord, and the Production Admins
traitor, Joseph |. Breen, is Cath
olic. suppose the movie indus
try, like the publishing industry, in
our country is free to hire the ad-
visers it wants, even Catholic ad-
viSers.
1t would be interesting to see a
proposed constitutional amend
ment for either the Federal Con-
stitution or for state constitutions
which would make it impossible
for the movie industry, or the Le-
gion of Decency, or for individual
Catholic, Protestant and Jewish
clergymen, or other private indi-
viduals, teachers, or publishers to
do precisely what all of them are
now doing.
1t would, it seems clear, be a
provision which would eliminate
freedom of speech and freedom of
the press in this country. 1t would
prohibit most editorials, dramatic
criticism, movie criticism, and book
reviews in the public press, and
would almost inevitably eliminate
editors and readers from publish
ing houses, Such provision given
constitutional status would stop
the radio, the movie industry, most
of the publishing business of Amer
ica, and would effectively write fin
is to our attempt to function as a
free democratic society.
The only way in which such a
measure could stop what is fool
ishly called the censorship" of
the Catholic Church, and leave
some freedoms to some Americans,
would be to limit its application
strictly to Catholic officials and
agencies.
The manuscript of Mr.. Blan-
shard's book was submitted to va.
rious New York publishers who did
not care TO publish it. Was this
censorship? If it was, and Mr.. Blan.
share would like to have a situa.
ton in which the publisher could
not refuse to publish his book, he
would have a situation in which
a publisher would be compelled to
publish whatever was submitted tc
him, and that would doubles:
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1952-06-06

any physical force available. They
are, therefore, wholly incapable of
exercising censorship. They can do
nothing which should be called cen
sorship by well-informed people.
They have however, the same right
to criticize, condemn, or endorse
any book, play, or movie that the
New York Times enjoys. To call
such activity censorship" when
one does not agree with it, and
freedom of the press when one
does agree with it, is nonsense.
The Catholic Church is teacher
"a teacher speaking with effect to
those who accept its teaching. The
effectiveness of the Church in the
area that is inaccurately called
censorship" depends wholly upon
the voluntary acceptance of the
Church's guidance by those who
read or listen. The same thing is
true of the effectiveness of the
leadership of any religious, polite
al, or economic group.
When anyone says that the
Catholic who goes to a movie, or a
play, or reads a book condemned
by his Church will have a feeling
of guilt, sense of sin," the an
swer is that that is the individuals
private concern and is not a matter
for public consideration or threat
to American freedom. Clearly there
is no such thing as punishment
that any agency or arm of the
Church can inflict upon him. Many
non.C Catholics, as we'll as Catholics,
would certainly feel sense of
guilt, of sin, of immortality, in 60
ing to see a play or in reading a
novel denounced as indecent by
any person or journal or agency in
whose standards they had conf.
dence.
If one wishes to reply that "the
hierarchy" or the Church claims to
punish in the next world those
who go against Catholic teaching
the answer is easy. Without going
into the long, elaborate theological
answer that would perhaps in 9th
er circumstances be best, it should
be enough for a layman who is not
theologian to say here that the
threat of such punishment would
be no threat at all to those who de
not accept the Church as a true ant
responsible guide.
If some Americans wish to bt
guided by the teachings of thu
Catholic Church, rather than b.
the teachings of Professionalism
Judaism, or some secular organiza
ton, others should accept that sit
uation without rancor. They vii
have to accept it so long as the.

way which violates the provi-
sions of the Constitution of
the United States, or the con-
stitution of a state, or laws
passed under the authority of
the constitutions is always,
without exception, a govern
mental activity behind which
there is actual force. SheriffS,
police forces, and militia are
agencies of government, not the
agencies of private citizens or of
nongovernment organizations.
None of our constitutional free
doms was designed to, or should be
invoked to, protect anyone from
criticism or persuasion of other
persons or groups.
No official, committee or organ
ization of the Catholic Church has
