Penniless Refugees Get Aid
From MigrantLoan Fund
Just Established I'm Rome

ROME-NC)-The international
Catholic Migrant Loan Fund has
Just been established in the inter.
est of refugees emigrating to for.
eign countries.
The foundation is designed to
assist refugees-in the wide sense
of the term-wishing to establish
themselves in new homes outside
of their present country of resi-
dence or temporary stay" 1t will
operate only through recognized
national or international Catholic
agencies, approved by their re
spective hierarchies, engaged in
the emigration of migrants and
refugees.
Chief purpose of the fund is to
assist individual refugees who
may be able to obtain visss for
various countries, by providing
their transportation on n loan
basis. Loans will be repaid to the
fund through national or interna.
tionsl agencies in the countries of
destination. The fund Is non-profit
and its resources will continue TO
be used for its main purpose by
the organizations composing It,
namely the international Catholic
Migration Commission and War
Relief Services National Catholic
Welfare Conference.
Supplements PIcMME
How the fund will function was
explained by Msgr. Andrew ?.
Landj. its general Sc etary. He
said that in addition to the larger
proup-migrations which continue TO
be handled by PfCMME provision.
al Intergoyernmental Committee
Of the Movement of Migrants from
Europe), there are many thousands
of persons who remain as individ.
uals. These may be the dependents
of refugees already established
abroad. or other individuals not
embraced in the work of PICAfME.
Such a person may have friends
or other relatives in a country to
which he wishes TO 90, Monsignor
Landi said, and he may be able to
obtain visa but may lack the
funds necessary for the voyage. He
may also then apply, not to the
general headquarters but to the ma
tionai agency in the country where
he is, for a loan covering his ex-
penses.
Monsignor Landi explained the
relation of the problem and the
people in whose interest this fund
has been established to the
PICMME operation. PICMME. he
said, works on governmental lev
ell and transports migrants in larg-
er groups free of charge. II cares
for persons whom the various gov
ernments have selected and chos-
en- as eligible for immigration to
their respective countries. The
Migrant Loan Fund is intended to
assist those individuals who for
one reason or another have not
been included in this arrangement.

Red Chinese Torture Leaves
Marks On Ousted Missioners

HONG KONG - CNC) Five mis-
sionaries ousted two weeks ago by
the Chinese communists are still
trying to recuperate here from the
brutal torture inflicted on them
during their long Imprisonment.
The ousted priests are the Revs.

brun, Albert Van Lierde and Ksrel
De Ryck, all Belgian Immaculate
Heart of Mary Fathers. They were
arrested in the mass seizure of mis-
sionaries in Peking on July 25.
1851.
The release of these priests has
now emptied the Verbist House in
Peking, which was turned into a
Jail for foreign and Chinese priests
in the middle of last year. Twenty
or more Religious were held there
at one time. The missionaries
were forced to remain sleepless
for weeks on end, deprived of food
and drink, and constantly molested
by their guards. Some were physi-
cally abused to the point of com.
plete collapse.
The maltreatment began within
the first week of their detention,
to force them to admit that they
were "spies" and secret agents"
Fifty-three-year-old Father De
Ryck conjectured that he spent 20
days without sleep.
Father Kavanagh, his arms tied
behind his back, was forced to re.
main standing for four days with
out moving. Four times Father
Kavanagh fell unconscious during
his interrogstions. His legs, still

Mau Mau flourishes among the

is held together by grisly series
of oaths administered to novices
who dedicate themselves to drive
out the white man. 1t keeps
strong hold over other tribesmen
by the threat Of sudden death to

The social benefits are here to
stay, Unemployment benefits, old

This fact is of great significance

If General Eisenhower is as
fortunate in his sense of timing
during his presidency as he was
before, he will meet with much
success. On two great occasions
when much was at. stake and all
depended on his timing, the Gen
eral was right. On one occasion
he had to determine the exact
hour of D-day, when the Allies
were to invade Europe. A mistake
could have been tragic. Another
Dunkirk could have been fatal.
The Generals timing was perfect
and the world is better off that it
was.
If General Eisenhower had run
in 1948, or if he does run in 1856,
no one knows what the outcome
would have been, or will be. The
General did run in 1852 and his
sense of timing made history. Let
us hope and pray that General
Eisenhower sense of timing for
the good of all America, is as good
in the future as it has been in the
past.

UN TRUSTEE BODY GRANTS
HEARING TO FIVE Five re-
quests from African native leaders
for permission to appear person
ally with grievances, were ap
proved by the Trusteeship Com
mittee of the General Assembly.
Some delegates were worried lest
the Committee be flooded with
similar requests. Petitions ap-
proved were those of the Somali
Youth League and the National
Somali Union from Somaliland, ad
ministered by Italy, and three
groups from Cameroons in French
Equatorial Africa, the Douala ira
ditional assembly of the people;
the Cameroons Socialist Party, and
the Grukr (Moslem groups).
Secretariat officials say that
when one group has been invited
to appear, other groups from the
same region register protests. Yet,
delegations and secretariat person
mel alike feel that extreme care
must be taken in handling the
problem, because as B. SILVA RaO
