''Everybody's Doing It."

Not many decades ago there was song. quite
popular al the time which took its title from the
words, "Everybodys doing it. doing it, doing it,"
The general theme to arouse the listener to
joining In the fun proposed by the song. Which
good However, the principle that something is to be
done because everyone else is doing it, lead
people into evil ways. To be sure, one wants TO
be stand-offlsh snobbish. or wall flower. On the
other hand il is something short of evil to play upon
this desire of people to get them to do wrong.
The other day report brought the infor-
nation that some of the people under examination
by the IT, s. Justice Department had given as an
cuse for their alleged criminal actions that every
body else was doing it." A weak excuse, surely; but
one that must be met II is the old sin of human
spect People afraid of what their friends and
neighbors will say about them Sometimes they seem
to fear this great deal than they fear the
wrath Of God Himself Nevertheless the situation is
there, and is prevalent enough TO cause concern.
1t should be realized from all this that II is most
important to train children to do good because it is
right and not because of what people may say about
them. The value of good morals in chd's home
training and education must be evident How can
person be expected TO stand up against temptation
especially that of "everybodys doing it," if he has
not learned early to do what is right matter
what the cost?
If this same force OF human respect could be
lined up the side of good if il could be used to
induce people TO honesty in business and
merce TO justify in industry and labor, TO kind
ness and thoughtfulneSs in all human relations one
could only imagine the tremendous upsurge in virtue
that would result But here, too the merit would be
greater If good we're done because il is the right
thing TO do. and not just because "everybodys do
inE it"'

authoritative direction they must expect regulation
for their own good The Ten Commandments were
given to man by loving Father for this very
Laws are quite frequently made to promote the
common welfare and to protect from the weakness
of minority. The abuse of the few sometimes cauS
es trouble for all.
And comes the proposal to have censorship
of printed matter The Columbus Citizen is against
it. but in the issue that it editoralizes against
il there appeared szable news article telling of
the good results from the TV Code adopted some
months ago. Whether it be voluntary or not, code
such that adopted by the TV industry is censor
ship. And it has produced good results Why then is
the Citizen against any censorship of printed matter
especially in view of the findings of the Congress
siona committee investigating the situation?
II the PRIMERS and publishers. including the
Columbus Citizen, were to adopt code of decency
voluntarily there would be need for Congress to
think of law of censorship But when people are
too weak to adopt their own rules of good conduct
rules that will protect them from their own weak
nesses then they must expect to have someone else
come along with authority to protect them from
themselves and to hinder them from harming theif
fellow-citizens.
It is interesting how many there are to stand up
to defend the right of the fellow who wishes to
NIT sin; but so few to help neighbor along the
path to virtue and goodness. Intelligent educated
people could be expected to be the side Of the
latter.

Give TO Christ

The sharing OF the good things have with
those love at Chrstmastide is one of the nobler
Christmas traditions Based the Gospel narrative
Of the three gift-bearnI kings who brought their
tokens Of friendship and love to the King of Kings
the first Christmas this exchange of gifts Is an
expression OF Christian love and devotion.
II is that commerciazaton has tended TO
faint and cheaper this custom Viewed correctly
however, il still remains good and wholesome
thing 1T is not the gift, but the spirit in which
is given" is the common saying which characterizes
the true spirit of this time honored practice
Although custom dictates that this should be
mutual giving and receiving, exchange the
thought of recompense is not uppermos in the
mind of the giver Proceeding from motives Of
Christian Charity il is the principle of sefless Civ
ing that hallows the act
most beautiful example Of this Christmas Civ
ing is the tradition in this Diocese of Columbus of
making special contribution on Christmas Day TO
the orphans, the homeless, the sick and the deSti-
tute Of the Diocese Here there is thought OF
retHrn-iust the Joy Of giving No thought OF return

Christmas All Year Long

One of the most encouraging signs this year was
the growing response to the campaign of Keeping
Christ in Christmas" More and more people the
country have been doing their bit to replace
the pagan trsppings Of Christmas and clothe Christ
mastide with the true garments OF Christian cele
brstion.
There has been an extended of the Advent
Wreath in our homes Many have made the Crib
the center OF decoration in the house instead Of
the Christmas tree alone From all reports there
has been an increasing demand for reigious Christ
mas cards
This external switch from the silly, pagan atmos.
phere so widespread heretofore is healthy sign.
May it grow from year to year This is just the be-
gnning-but a healthy beginning nonetheless.
With all this emphasis the external however.
we might be lead TO consider il as an ultimate
goal II is not. At the best il will only be the ex-
preston Of internal re.birth Of Christ in the
hearts Of men
II we are TO miss qualifying for the nasty label
of "hypocrites the change from the pagan celebra-
tion Of Christmas to the true Christian spirit must
be matched and preceded by corresponding
change Dlthin ourselves.
II is to be hoped that men will begin to realize
that the Christmas spirit is the expression OF the
Christmas spirit. Somehow or other 1t has come 10
be regarded something seasonal Something that
is wonderful enjoyable something that is good
and needful-but Notwithstanding that is
ephemera and passing.
This is the greatest fallacy about Christmas and
Christians To misunderstood the message Of Christ
mas, TO conflne II to few days or weeks during the
year is to garble and confuse the message of
Christianity
The big mistake is to make our Spirit of Christ
mas" coincide with external celebration of the
Feast OF Christmas We cannct take down our Christ
mas spirit when We take down our Christmas dec
orations To do So is to make Christianity as

ably the major purpose IN writ
ing their semi-flattering, semi-
critical biography of Reuther
and his international union was
to try to persuade him to get off
the fence-to declare himself,
once and for all, in favor of es-
tablishment of a labor party with
a socialist theology.
Enough Of . Reslisi
Our own opinion is that Reuth-
er has long since abandoned his
former socialist faith and that
the added responsibility of pre-
siding over the affairs of the
national CIO will have the sober
ing effect of dampening, if not
completely extinguishing, his in
terest in a socialist labor party.
He will, of course, continue to
stress the importance and indeed
the necessity of political action
on The part Of the CIO and its
affiliates But he will be enough
of realist to place his major
emphasis on the essential eco
nomic functions of the CIO.
He will not be doctrinaire He
will not look to political action
as panacea. and certainly will
not attempt to identify the good
name of the CIO with the so.
cialist theology II he does, it
would d be safe to prophesy
that his term of office will be
very stormy and very brief, for
the membership of the CIO is al
most unanimously anti-socialist.
AcTu Plan More Radical"
This is very inaccurate report
ing on the part of Widiek and
Howe They ought to know that
the Detroit ACTU certainly did
not support Reuther merely as an
anti-communist. ACTU supported
Reuther because he seemed to
be subscribing to the philosophy
of the Industry Council Plan
which. according to our own
definition of the term, is much
more radical (the fayorite ad-
jective of Widick and Howe) than

WASHINGTON LETTER
PreLates Rap Red Peace Aims

believe that the United States
and the other Western powers
plan war.
An English-language broadcast
over Vatican Radio also exposed
the true character of the Red
Congress of Peoples for Peace.
Father Antonio Ferri, S. j., said
in this broadcast that Commun-
lists openly admit that under Ger.
tain conditions and in certain
areas, peace may be transform
ed into struggle for Socialism.
Father Ferri added:
with violence and revolution,
Communists are determined to
promote materialiSm in the
world and society. History teach
es that this communist ideology
in practice uses all the methods
it can - calumny, threats and
violence - when the proposed
good of the proletariat so re-
quires. II even goes to the ex-
treme of civil and international
wars.
Therefore, that peace, today
SO much desired by us all, may
tomorrow be changed into some
thing completely different, as
Stain himself openly admits.
II is clear and evident that such
a movement in favor of peace
is nothing but means to an
end which is certainly not Christ
ian and most certainly anti
Christian.

desperately to consolidate his
strength as president of a divid-
ed UAW, this book is even more
pertinent in the fall of 50 as
Reutho faces up to the more
delicate and more challenging
task of consolidating his strength
as president of a divided CIO.
Widick and Howe publicly and
formally raise the all-important
question discussed over and over
again, privately and informally,
by the opposition at the Allan
tic City convention: What is Reu-
theirs underlying philosophy Of
trade unionism? Another, more
indelicate, way of PHI asing this
question would be: Is Walter
Reuther basically a socialist at
heart?
Some of his political oppon-
ents in the CIO are inclined TO
answer this question in the af-
firmative. Widick and Howe. good
socialists that they are. would
like to be able to do that but are
forced to eonclude-howeyer re-
luctantly-that only time will
tell whether Reuther has irrevoc-
ably abandoned the socialist faith
of his early youth and is merely

II is our hope and prayer that
Reuther will continue to sub
scribe to this philosophy and
that he will use his tremendous
talents as a labor leader to has
ten the practical application of
this philosophy in the major
industries of the United States.
Widick and Howe tell us very
frankly in the concluding pages
of their very thought-provoking
book that the so-called radical
wing of the Reuther group" in
the UAW is a heterogeneous
assortment of socialists, semi-so-
cialists and militant unionists."
They express the earnest hope
that this group will yet have the
opportunity to wi. the union to
its ideas and programs" T'ey are
entitled to their opinion but,
fortunately, they are not ex-
pressing the opinion of the ma
iority of the members of the
CIO.
Time Will Tell
We ourselves would express
the earnest hope-which is un-
doubtedly shared by the major
ity of CIO members-that Reu-

INQUIRY CORNER

Q. Did the Mogi come at
Christmas to the stable?
A. According to st. Luke's ac-
count of the Presentation of the
Christ Child in the Temple it
followed forty days of purifica-
ton required by the Law. duke
2:22). Also st. Matthew refers
to the coming of the Magi: 'sand
entering the house." Matthew
2:1D in Bethlehem, indicating
that it was not the stable, and
that it probably occurred later.
Their sudden departure and the
equally sudden flight of the Holy
Family would exclude the Pre-
Sentation in the Temple coming
after the Magi Their arrival
must have been nearly two
months, and some say a year,
after the birth of Christ. (See
Prat's "Jesus Christ" Volume /;
Life of Christ" by RicciottD
Q. What are the principal Ros.
nry trduleenceS?
A. There is a plenary indul-
gence for reciting the rosary in
the presence of the Blessed Sac
rament, for praying it anywhere
if it has the Crosier, Bridgetine
or Dominican blessing. A plenary
indulgence is also available twice
month for the family rosary,
and five years indulgence even
If the beads do not have the
above special blessings (ten years
if in the company of others, pub
llcly or privately.
@. Is the Catholic Church
democratic?
A. Perhaps the outstanding
Pope In recent years was the son
of village cobbler, whose edu-
cation was furthered by the kind
ness of neighbors and friends.
Blessed Plus X in his origin and
in his acts as Pope illustrates the
genuine democracy of the Cath
olic Church. Actually democracy
IN its stricter meaning applies
only to forms of political organ
lzation, and in that narrow sense
the Church is not democratic.
God sent Christ, the Son of God.
Who sent His Apostles. No one
person or group of persons can
vote or choose in faith and NOR
ais other than Gods way. "As the
Father has sent me, | also send
you. John 20:22l In its concern
for everyone, regardless of rae
lal or financial differences, the
Catholic Church has always been
democratic, and its teaching es-
tablished the principles for dem
ocratic government. The modern
move to make a religion of de-
mocracy is another thing, and the
Catholic Church insists that God
must be obeyed.

most disconcerting aspect in the

even criminal, but the French
like to know what the issues are
and to have them expressed with
logic and clearness. The voice OF
America to the world is not
speaking in those tones. And
confusion in speaking to the
world reflects in confusion at

This is an honest appraisal |

WASHiNCTON LETTER

WASHINGT0N-(NC)- The
latest Soviet Russian peace of
fensWe received some singing
rebukes even before the Reds
could open their Congress of
Peoples for Peace" in Vienna.
The free peoples of the world
were better prepared for this
communist maneuver than they
were for any earlier Moscow
tricks along this line. AS a re-
suit, il is felt here that the West
may hope that the Vienna CON
yention will be a boomerang to
the Reds in many respects. For
one thing, it is pointed out, 1t
was well publicized on the very
eve of the Vienna peace" CON
gress that virtually every boy
and girl in Soviet Russia is re-
ceiving military training today.
But no one was more coura-
geous, nor put the Soviet peace
maneuyer in better perspective,
than His Eminence Theodor Car
dinal Innitzer, Archbishop of
Vienna, where the Red peace"
congress was held; his Coadjutor
Archbishop Franz Jachym; his
Auxiliary, Bishop Leo Pietsch,
and DR.. Gerhard May. leading
Bishop of the Evangelical
Church in Austria.
Just five days before the
scheduled opening of the Red
peace" they took part in a
public consideration OF peace
from the viewpoint of Christian
