INQUIRY CORNER

@. Is it a sin to Uiolate the
Legion of Decency pledge?
A. Deliberately to see a movie
which is morally Objectionable
without proportionate certainty
of avoiding sin, by a lapse in
faith or morals or giving scandal,
is sinful. The pledge does not
bind under sin as such but may
constitute at least venial sin if
I do not conscientiously consider
the specific recommendations of
the Legion and wilfully attend a
movie that is judged immoral
(even disapproved in parO. The
pledge does not bind us in so
many words to the published list
but states: Il acknowledge my
obligation to form a right con-
science about pictures that are
dangerous to my moral life. AS
member of the Legion of Decen-
cy, / pledge myself to remain
away from them," and on the
positive side says, I promise to
do all that / can to strengthen
public opinion against the pro-
duction of indecent and immoral
films :" While we do not ex-
actly promise to obey the pub
ished list it is understood that
we do pledge to work effectively
to discourage indecent and i'm
moral pictures and those which
glorify crime or criminals, and
we cannot do that if all members
follow their own impulses or no
tions about current movies. I'm
less we are we'll informed
through reviews in reliable mag
zines we are liable to violate the
pledge in regard to our moral
life too; hence on two counts we
should follow the recommenda-
tions of the Legion.
@. What is the chancery Of
flee of a diocese and lohdt are
the duties of the chancellor?
A. The Catholic Encyclopedia
describes the chancery of a dio-
cese as the branch of admins
tration that handles all written
documents used in the govern
ment of diocese. What is call
ed the diocesan curia consists of
those persons who assist the
bishop in the government of the
diocese, including the vicar-gen-
eral, the officials and the chan
cellor, whose duties are stated in
Canon Law Canon No. 372): In
every Curia the bishop shall ap-
point a chancellor who must be
priest, and whose principal Of
flee is to keep the acts of the
Curia in the archives, to arrange
them in chronological order, and
make an index of the same. If
needs be, he may have an as
sistant whose title shall be vice
chancellor. The chancellor is by
his very office a notary" (Woy-
woods "A Practical Commentary
on the Code of Canon Law")
Q. What are the Ember days?
A. They are days of fast and
abstinence which occur four
times year, connected accord
ing to some with the pre-Chris-
tian customs of sowing the seed
in the spring. of harvest and

cation than it does members OF
the labor movement, and obtains
aid and comfort from those in
fluenced by concealed commun-
ists-persons far divorced from
the working people.
A striking instance of this real
ity has been brought out in the
continuing investigation of Sar-
ah Lawrence College by the West
chester County N.Y) American
Legion. After much effort, the
Legion has finally persuaded the
Westchester County papers to
divulge that DIR. Helen M. Lynd,
Dean of Sarah Lawrence College,
is a member or sponsor of nu-
merous fronts, including the no
torious Waldorf-Astoria peace"
conference of 1949. 1t will be re-
called that on that occasion Rich
ard Boyer, writer for The New
Yorker magazine, openly an
nounced his communist affilia-
ton and called for civil disobed-
ience" against the United States
government on behalf of Stain.
II must also be remembered that
DR.. Lynd was recently defended
in her right to belong to subvers-
i've organizations by ~outstand-
ing citizens" far removed from
the labor movement.
Contrast Pspsl Teaching
The right of labor freely to or
ganize has been denied ruthless
ly by the Kremlin. This is in con-
trast to the championship of that
right in the Papal encyclicals.
and specifically by Plus XI in his
encyclical on "Atheistic Com
munism." This was asserted as
positive part of Christian So
cial principles. And it can safely
be added that one of the great
persuasive instruments in the
early organization of American
labor was LEO kits encyclical,
Rerum NopdTun.
But the communists shout loud
ly in their claims to be ''the van
guard of the workers and to be
devoted to the workers inter-
ests. The hour has come rhen
these false claims should be
challenged.

authority. We have certainly nev-
er heard such words spoken by
the elected officials of our gov
ernment, or by the 'non-commun-
ist left" or Socialists who preen
themselves on understanding
communism better than the rest
of us and hating it more bitterly.
Line up, for a moment, the
viewpoints of the experts the
men whose judgment of COM
munism has been formed by in
side information and secret pa
pers and the kind of thing that
travels to Washington by cour-
ier-pouch. How wise an estimate
of the communist reality have
any statesmen formed? How close
has their appraisal come to the
truth as now revealed by Mr..
Chambers, who really knows?
Only One Remedy
But is is not just the liberal or
the leftist statesmen who have
been misled: Winston Churchill
had as much to do with Tito's
rise to power as any man alive.
1t is not only the men in office
who have judged this menace
badly: Norman Thomas, anti
communist, still steers by the
star of MARKHAM materialist. So
does Jawarlal Nehru. So does ev-
cry Socialist leader in the world
today.
If Whitaker Chambers is right
about communism land he has
paid a higher price than most
men to discover the truth in this
matter) then the statesmen of the
world are still dangerously wrong
in their analysis of what the
Reds demand. If Whitaker Cham
bers is right, then 10 fight CON-
munism by Point-Tour grants and
by touting materialism through
the "Voice of America" Is suicid-
al in its Stiffness For these
things accept the communist pre-
mise of materialism, and then
try to outbid the promises of
communism to the materialists
that it has made.
There is, according TO MIR
Chambers, only one real remedy
for a communist-headed world:
a return to God. There is only
one force strong enough to drive
out the materialist fantasies that
have captured mems minds: the
cleansing winds Of Faith.

the special committee, appointed
in 1850 by the CI0 executive
board, we read: Throughout
this curious history, the COM
munist party has never ceased to
claim that 1t makes its decisions
on the basis of genuine apprais-
al of the interests of the Amer
lean people and of American la
Dor. That claim is, of course,
false. The record shows that the
basic purpose of the communist
party is the support of the Soviet
Union and that the program of
the party is designed with only
the interests of the Soviet Union
in view"
To this indictment, the COM
mittee adds another as result
of its investigations: "The COM
munist party, the committee
finds, does not believe in trade
unions. II believes in using trade
unions. And 1t believes in using
them for the purposes of the
Soviet Union"
Anyone who wishes TO learn in
detail of these charges by the
CIO may obtain them from the
Sub Committee on Labor and La
Dor Management Relations of the
us. Senate Committee on Labor
and Public Welfare at Washing
ton, D. C. The CIO findings are
published in a booklet, Com
munist Domination of Certain
Unions" now issued as a Senate

Three Potent Reasons
The communist conspiracy is
not part of the labor movement,
as the CIO has found, for at least
three reasons:
y The complete control of the
conspiracy by the Soviet dictator
ship;
p Its championship of the
slave-labor system existing in all
Soviet-controlled countries, which
Immediately destroys free trade

statement, assigning tasks" to
the comrades, it is of major sig
nificance.
II is in this light that we must
read the statement by William
z. Foster, head of the commun-
ist conspiracy in the United
States, in The Daily Worker OF
February 5. Ii is entitled The
Worst Frameup in American His
tory" which naturally applies,
from Fosters viewpoint, to the
trials and convictions of the con-
spirators. What IS important
about the statement is that he
terms this "a labor frameup."
Foster then proceeds to link
up the communists with the la
Dor movement of the United
States, alleging that they are not
only ''the vanguard of the work
ers" but part and parcel of labor
organization. On that basis, he
directs the communists to get to
every trade union and other DEM
ocratic mass organization" with
a view TO having these organiza
tions denounce any curbing of
Red activities.
Red Fsllaey
This, is in accordance with the
recent outstanding directives of
the Cominform, which has called
for new infiltrdtion OF labor un-
ions throughout the toorld. The
whole Foster contention - heard
repeatedly from the Red camp
is based on fallacy which
should be brought out into the
open, particularly before the
trade unions.

Gen. Eisenhower To
Get Southern Votes

Washington, D. c. (NNPA) -
The South will give a majority
of it's 128 electoral votes in 1852
to the Republican candidate for
president, if that candidate is Cen
eral Dwight D. Eisenhower, fif-
teen Southerners from eleven states
declared here last Thursday.
The Southerners, at least two
of whom are Democrats and at
least three others are renegade
Democrats, met here at the invi-
tation of Senator Frank Carlson,
Republican, of Kansas, director of
the National Eisenhower Head
quarters, to organize a united Eli
senhower front in the South. None
of them was colored.
The statement issued by the
group charged that "Old Guard
die-hard leaders in the North are
striving in very way to dominate
the Republican party machinery in
the South"
"The people of the South, deep
ly concerned with the destiny of
America and the world, are eager
to vote for Eisenl:oW er this No
vember, the statement said. "They
will go solidly for a Republican
nominee = provided that nominee
is Dwight D. isenhower."
Claude o. Vardaman of Birming-
ham, chairman of the Alabama Re-
publican State Committee, served
as temporary chairman at the
Washington meeting. One of the
signers of the statement is Winton
M. Blount of Union Springs, Ala
bama, whose late father was a
member of the Alabama State De-
mocratic Executive Committee.
The other Alabama Democrat in
the group was Richard F. Hudson,
Jr., of Montgomery, vice president
and assistant publisher of the
Montgomery Advertiser.

Gratis are Alvin H. Lane, a Dallas,
Texas, attroney, and Bernard W.
Chill, a lawyer of Jackson, Miss

cratic party in 1888. He was the

Air1nan Burned AS
He Saves Garage
teontlnusa rom frs, mage,

Fire broke out in the 1949 model
stake body truck while Elijah Mar
vel, of Rising Sun, was welding
braces across the top of the vehicle
in the garage about three mics
south of Dover.
Gas Tank Ignlted
State police at the Dover Station
said the sparks from the welding
rod apparently reached the gasoline
tank of the truck, igniting the
fluid.
Roberts was painting his own
automobile in the garage. The air
man, who lives in Camden, leaped
into the cab of the truck and drove
it out OF the garage and onto the
road. Jlst as he leaped from the
cab, the tank exploded, showering
his face end arms with blazing
gasoline. He was taken to the hos
pital by passing mOtOrist.
The truck was destroyed by the
explosion and fire. State police said
that the garage and other vehicles
undoubtedly would have been seri-
ously damaged or destroyed had it
not been for Roberts quick action.
Marshal r. Pugh, of Magnolia,
owner of the truck, estimated the
damage at S3,5OO. Flames in the
truck were fought by the Camden
Wyoming Fire Company.
