embarrassed at the nationwide publicity given in
Great Britain to these ungodly and degrading
concentrations We are attempting to do that church
disserviee by giving further publication to Canon
Charles Loves remarks. We going to make
but this one point:
The proposals of the Canon directly in accord
with the worst type of Communistic goddess athe.
ism Such statements when they are found
among Communist writings or among the writings
of the rest of the worlds goddess easily classl
fled and dismissed. 1t is only when someone mas
querading under the guise of leader of the right
people should publish such sentiments that 1t
is necessary to recall to all just how pernicous these
proposals are
The world is in such a state today that too many
will be only too glad to accept these proposals and
beat the drum for them, being utterly misled They
are the ones into whose materiaIistic philosophy
these tenets might we'll be fitted
Each one of them has been proposed in some way
before Each of them has been Shown, time
and again, to be entirely immoral They are as old
and immoral as the Devil himself They always
were and always will be.
Don't misunderstood. We are not calling Canon
Lowe Communist What saying is this:
The Canon because of his accepted position in So
ciety has done the of truth and morality great
er harm than if he we're avowed Communist
People are Immediately suspicious of Communist
philosophy when presented by Communists. The
Canons statements have done us the great dis
service of giving the of respectfully to these

HoiO Do You Baptise
In An Emergency?

@. HotD do you buptize In an
emergency?
A. The person baptizing is to
pour (ordinary) water on the
forehead of the person to be bap-
tized, saying while pouring it:
Il baptize thee in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost"
O. Mag one folIot0 dreams?
A. No. Dreams are imaginings
or thoughts while we are asleep
and so are not fit guides for our
conduct. 1t is superstition to fol-
low in action guidance from a
non-rational source. Gods law,
proper advice and our own judg-
ment in conscience constitute the
basis for decisions. Dreams have
deceived many, and they have
failed that put their trust in
them" Ueviticus 24:26)

A. MY Father, if ii be possible,
let this chalice pass from Me.
Nevertheless not as / will, but as
Thou wilt" (Matthew 26::39)
Christ taught us the proper at
titude in prayer. All prayer is
answered, but not always in the
way we wish. Often what we wish
is bad for us as it is for a child
who pleads for the butcher knife.
AS Christians we are to take up
our cross and follow Christ, and
even unusual tragedy and hard
ships should not make us desert
Christ and His Cross His Mother
suffered beneath the cross. His
apostles were martyred, but His
grace is sufficient for each of
us. Sorrow should give us the
pride of Simon of Cyrene, car
rying the cross with Christ, not
the resentment and desertion of
Judas. The Cross and the Cruel
fled is our standard.
Q. What is the particular judq-
ment?
A. The judgment Immediately
after death is called the particu-
lar judgment. The soul goes at
once either to its reward in heav-
en- or to its punishment in purga-
tory or hell. The existence of
the particular judgment is ap-
parent from the parable of the
rich man Dives and Lazarus,
wherein one soul was rewarded
and another punished immedi-
ately after death.
Q. Are distractions always

never sinful unless they are de-

of this lack of preparation or of
maturity is precipitation.
Let us examine for a moment
just what this expression means
as we find IL in the press and
discourses coming out of Eu-
rope. 4
There is, first Of all, the extra
ordinary precipitation in insist
ing that Europe unite. Nothing
is quite so annoying to the Bel
gian, Dutch, Swiss or Italian as
to be told that his nation should
get together in perfect union
with other nations because
Rhode Island, New York and
Pennsylvania were able to ac-
complish this at the end of the
18th century. The impatience Of
Americans at the slowness with
which Europe goes about the job
of unity produces in European
public opinion an even greater
impatience with American IN

dation and will act immediately
to implement it as official CIO
policy.
The continuation of govern
ment wage controls, in the opin-
ion of Reuther and his associates
In the top command of CIO,
would be an injustice to the
working people of the United
States in view of the fact that
price controls have been so
emasculated as to be almost com
pletely ineffective. In other
words, what's sauce for the goose
is sauce for the gander. Price
controls and wage controls are
opposite sides of the same coin.
The continuation of wage con.
trolls in the absence of effective
price controls Tor vice verss)
cannot reasonably be defended.
Equality of sacrifice is a basic
requirement of social Justice
even-or especially-in a peri
cd of national emergency.
Whether or not the CLOS un-
expected opposition to the fed
eral wage stabilization program
is well founded (AFL economists
are said to disagree with the
CLOS position), 1t serves the USE
ful purpose of highlighting the
intimate relationship between
prices and wages and the diff

of bringing them into proper bal

aggeration to say that this is the
central problem of economic re-
construction.
Unreslisfie Approach
Far too many publicists and
not few professional econo-
mists would solve the problem
the easy way by appealing uni
laterally to the patriotism of the
workers. In the words of Arthur
Ross of the University Of Cali

MANY economists seem to be-

Battle For The American Mind

April /, 1951-should have Serv-
ed as a warning to this authors
predictions.
From his vantage point as for
mer counsellor to the Soviet For
eign Office, Mr.. Bogolepov also
declared under oath that the
works of Professor John N. Haz-
ard of Columbia University were
aided by lot of material pre-
sented to him in Moscow and
which is either Soviet propa-
ganda or nonsense having no re-
lation to the Soviet at all" Pro
fessor Hazard is regarded as an
authority on the Soviet legal sys-
tenn and therefore commands re
spect in many circles. The Sen
ate Subcommittee on Internal
Security directly charges that
he was shown TO be the author
of pro-Soviet articles and books,
and that he cooperated in the
writing of Henry A. Wallace's
Soviet Asia Mission"-the book
in which Mr.. Wallace praises so
highly the Soviet slave labor
camps in Siberial
That only begins to raise the
curtain. Counsellor Bogolepov's
testimony also characterizes inn
portant sections of the two vol
ume work by Sidney and Beat
rice Webb, Soviet Communism:
A New Civilization" as having
been written by the Soviet For
eign Office and the Soviet Sc
cret police. Anyone who thinks
back will appreciate what tre-
mendous effect the Webbs' books
had upon American thinking in
regard to Soviet Russia II was A
chief source in persuading thou
sands of men and women-who,
in turn, affected public opinion
that the savage slave labor
system was actually a fine ex-
pertinent in reform.

alyzed American views on So

ness, and it is certainly the bus
mess of the devil to distract us.
Prayer begun with good inten-
tions, resisting distractions that
arise is pleasing to God.
@. HoD can Christ be really
present in your Communion serU-
ice?
A. When God tells US some
thing is so we accept it first and
try to see how it can be after
ward. Catholics accept the Real
Presence of Christ in the Sacra-
ment of the Eucharist because
Christ, the Son of God, taught
it. When He first promised it
"The Jews on that account ar
gued with one another, saying,
How can this man give us his
flesh to eat?'" John 6:53).
Christ replied: Amen, amen, I
say to you, unless you eat the
flesh of the Son of Man, and
drink his blood, you shall not
have life in you" Even when
many of His disciples left Him
on this account He insisted on
the literal statement. Turning to
the Apostles He said: do you
also wish to go away?" st. Pc
ter's answer shows that he did
not understand HOW it could be.
He accepted it on the word of
Christ, saying: Thou hast words
of everlasting life. and we have
come to believe and to know
that thou art the Christ, the Son
of Cod" Further evidence is con-
tanned in the Gospels (Matthew
16:26-28; Mark 14:22-25; Luke
22:19-20) in, st. Paul q Corinthi-
ans 1915; 11-27-29) and in un-
broken tradition of Christians
until the sixteenth century. For
the Catholic the teaching of the
Church makes it certain.
Q. Is it sinful to violate sec.
ret?
A. As the catechism states:
'We are obliged to keep a secret
when we have promised to do
so, when our office requires it,
or when the good of another de-
mands it. " Ordinarily it is a ven
ial sin to reveal something COM
municated as secret, but it be-
comes mortal if the grave harm
will result. Sometimes the secret
is not communicated exclusive
ly, and consent to tell it to some
one trustworthy may be presum-
ed. A secret should be revealed
if there is danger of great harm
to the community or to an inno-
cent party. Secrets of the con-
fessional (even those overheard
accidentally by the other peni-
tents may never be revealed for
any reason whatever.

proach to most complicated
problem. It is all well and good
to appeal to the patriotism and
unselfishness of the workers and
their elected representatives, but
we have no right to expect the
workers Tor any other segment
of the economy to be the only
heroes in American society. Ii a
trade union leader, motivated by
the highest principles of patrio-
tism and devotion to the common
good, voluntarily passes UP a
wage increase during collective
bargaining negotiations, he has
absolutely no assurance whatso-
ever that this act of self-sacrifice
will be matched by a correspond
ing decline in prices.
Under the present economic
system in the United States, al
Professor Ross repeatedly re-
minds us, no individual union
can have any substantial effect
on the price level. ITO expect
one organization to ignore its
own particular interest by set
ting a good example for the
others" Professor Ross continues
very shrewdly, lis a delusive
hope, when there is no assurance
that the example will be follow
ed. Responsibility requires au-
thority There is profit in
? discussing wage policy for the
economy as a whole, or for a
major segment. thereof, but as
yet there is no bargaining mech
anism to which such a discussion
can be related"
What is needed, in the opinion
of Professor Ross, is a master
wage policy worked out voluntar-
lily at the national level by rep
reSentatives of labor as q whole
and business as whole, with
the assistance and possibly un-
der the supervision of govern
ment. Ross proposal was Sec
onded just a few days ago in a
new booklet by Gerhard Colin,

respectable nonpartisan auspices
of the National Planning Associ-
alton.
Sound Proposal

the so-called laws of competition

With the imminent breakdown

program of wage and price con-
trolls, now is the appropriate
time to give DR.. Coins proposal
an honest hearing and an honest

thoroughly in accord with Cath

ing of the wholehearted support
