political liberties, but especially
in regard to their inalienable hui

War formerly consisted" it
continued, "cf violating frontiers,
annexing provinces and Selling
wealth; and men felt that they
could defend possession of such
goods by arms. Today frontiers
are violated less frequently than
consciences, and in regard to the
latter there can be no peaceful
possession, nor limitation, nor com
promise.
Traditional morality prescribes
the conditions under which peo,
pie may revolt against tyranny.

Piles be applied in the information

Other Paris newspapers com
menting on Bishop Ancers views
included PariS-PreSse, indepen-
dent, and the conservative Figaro
and LIE Monde.
Figaro quoted an eminent theo-
l0gian" as stating:
But the general attitude of a
AViNiSh otatS may give cNlueHIc
of its fixed intention TO start all
armed conflict, In this case, a
declaration of war by the nation
which feels itself threatened, af-
ter it has exhausted all means of
Cancellation, may be legitimate
way of preventing imperialist war,
which is always criminal. In spite
of appearances, there is no ques-
ton but that this is defensive
war"
lie Monde published a long let
ter from a high official of the
French Ministry of Foreign Af-
fairs, which voiced the opinion
that the example Bishop Aneel
cited was misleading. France, the
official stated, is tied TO the United
States by a purely defensive al
lance, while the Franco Russian
treaty of 1914 would oblige France
to fight a preventive war against
Germany if Russia should invade
that country to prevent aggression.

PreIdte Calls Preventive Var
Criminal; Newspapers Differ

PARIS-(NC)-An article by q
French Bishop condemning pre-.
ventive war has stirred up consid-
erable discussion in this country.
The article was written by
Bishop Alfred Ancel, Auxiliary of
Lyon for FESsor (Flight), popul
lar weekly published in that city,
The Bishops conclusions were:
Any nation that starts a proven.
tive war is a war criminal.
A treaty of alliance that in
wolves participation in proven.
tive war is null and void.
No person has a right to obey
a government that seeks to in.
volye nation in preventive
war.
Using as an example the pos
Sibility of the United States start.
ing a preventive war against the
Soviet Union, Bishop Ancel stated:
Let US speak concretely. Sup
pose that France were bound TO
the United States by military
treaty. What would France be OBJ
ligated to do if the United States
launched a war against the Rus
slams? The answer is obvious: the
treaty would become invalid
France would have no right tc
march with the United States. II
by honoring the treaty, it involved
itself in preventive war, it would
become a war criminal.
What is a person bound to do
as an individual? The answer is
obvious. He has no right to obey
He must refuse to fight, since
the law of God is above all other
laws. 1t is necessary that the gov
ernment understand that it will
not be obeyed if it starts a pre-
ventiye war"
Bishop Ancel wrote that he
does not believe that the United
States wants preventive wal
against the Soviet Union or that
France would support such war.
Il know" he continued, that in
America. and even in France,
there are people who advocate q
preventive war" He said that
'those who promote preventive
war are war criminals" )" and any
Catholic desiring that the u. S
launch a preventive war against
the Soviet Union would be fila,
grsntly" violating the Fifth Com
msndment and guilty of mortal
sin.
Many French newspapers com
mented at length on these con
clusions, the majority of them dis
agreeing with the Bishop.
La Croir. Paris Catholic daily,
without specifically mentioning
the article in rESSor. ran long

While condemning total war and
scorched-earth tactics as always
immoral, il raised the question oil

French Bishop
Expelled From
China By Reds

HONG NC fNC) A
French-born Bishop and three
American Maryknollers are among
the most recent group OF ten for
eign missionaries forced out of
China by the Reds.
They are Bishop August Gaspais
of Kirin, Manchuria, 67-year-old
Paris Foreign Missioner, and the
Revs. Raymond Gaspard of Mime
apolis. Richard Mershon of Denver,
and Joseph Mcdonald of Belmont,
Mass. All have arrived in Hong
Kong.
Others arriving here recently
include three Italian priests from
Pengpu, Anhwei province, an d
three Swiss nuns from Changchun,
Manchuria. They are the Revs.
Giuseppe Bsrmoverain. Luigi Mar
tignone and Paul Greshcum, and
sisters Mary Rudolf Biberegg,
Anna Fung and Agnes Swicker
Bishop Gsspais had been in pris-
on since October 10 and under
house arrest for two months be-
fore that He had served as Bishop
of the Kirin area since 1928.
Father Gaspard was arrested
last April while he was working IN
the Honeymoon diocese under the
direction of Bishop Adolph j.
Paschang. He was held in solitary
CONTINENT for a while and then
forced to work on a chain gang
before being ousted. Bishop Pas
chang is now being tortured by
the Reds in an effort to extort
money from his American con-
feres.
Father Mcdonald had labored
in the Wuchow diocese under the
direction of Bishop Frederic A.
Donaghy. The priest had been ar
rested in December, 1880. He was
held in prison for three months
and then placed under house ar

Report Camp In North Korea
Holds Surviving Missionaries

these prisoners without delay If an
armistice is signed.
This information is not enough
TO warrant the expectation that all
missing missionaries survive, but
warrants the conclusion that some
at least are still alive and in Korea.
Previously Alan Wilmington,
correspondent Of the communist
Daily Worker Of London, told the
N.C.WC. News Service here that
he knew Philip Deane, Internation-
al News Service correspondent cap
tured early in the hostilities. was
held during August, 1850, with for
eign missionaries somewhere out
side Of Pyongyang. N.C.W.C. News
Service already had reported the
fact that missionaries and other
civilians were being held at Kiam-
Nj, outside Pyongysng, in August
and September of 1850.
At a sub-delegstion truce meet
ing concerning prisoners, North
Korean Gen Lee Sang 10 told
Rear Admiral r. E. Libby Tuesday:
regarding the dist of 55 persons
doreign civilians) you submitted
to US We have already handed it
over to the organization concerned
and the case is being Investigated.
As you may understand, our side,
which insists on releasing all pris-
oners of war. will surely release
those civilians who were put under
protection during the hostilities.
These civilians will surely be de-
liyered after the armistic." 4"
The excuse implied by General
Lee for holding these civilians is
not valid. The missionaries we're
arrested after all local fighting had
ceased in their areas and brought
north under guard and forcibly
held incommunicado.
