In Miss Wilson's class we stud
led about insects and their habits.
We found out about many useful
insects. One of much interest to
me is the praying mantis. The
praying mantis feeds on grass
hoppers, flies and other insects.
The praying mantis helps us by
eating such harmful insects.

cisely, are they democratic in
practice? Do they honestly de-
sire-and If so, to what extent
have they actually succeeded in
eliciting rsnk.and-file partici-
patton at the policy-makinr lev
ell? Or, to put the question more
realistically, are the rank-and-
file members in American un-
ions and American employers
associations really interested in
controlling the policies of these
organizations.
A Moral obIisstion
Our own casual observation
would lead us to conclude-sub-
Ject, of course, to correction
that rank-and-file apathy is prob
ably just as pronounced in
American unions and American
employers associations as it
seems to be, according to MIR.
Goldstein, in the T.G.W.U. What
to do about ii is another mat
ter. Dr. Goldstein's recommends
tions, in the opinion of at least
one British Catholic economist,
are somewhat less than adequate
c'Apathy in the Trade Unions"
by R. P, Lynton, The Tablet, July
26). This is probably true. Our
own recommendations, on the
other hand, are even less ade-
quate than Goldstein's. But of one
thing we are absolutely certain:
the problem is basically a spirit
ual problem.
A revision of the constitution
or changes in the organizational
structure of the T.G.W.U., or any
other union or employers ssso-
citation. will not accomplish very
much unless the rank-and-file are
convinced that they have NOR
al obligation. in Justice and
charity. to assume their share
of responsibility for the poll
cies of these organizations.
As the Bishops of Australia
pointed out in their 1850 Social
Justice Statement, no man may
trade his conscience to any po-
litical party or to any secular
organization.

First Impression

"liberators" cannot be handily
ousted. The Baltic has become
IN many ways, except for Swed-
en-, Soviet domain. Along with
East Germany and the Baltic
States, plus strategic positions in
Finland, Denmark looks down
the length of the Baltic to what
has become her extremely dis
agreeable neighbor. Recent tug
ging and pulling with the Unit
ed States regarding the construc-
tion of ship for the Soviet I'm
ion reveals how delicate the bal
ance between her position in
the North Atlantic Pact and her
recognition of precarious rela-
tions with the USSR

even anxiety. / have not been
to Berlin since the war, but ev-
cry one who returns from that
oasis in the midst of Sovietland
reports that the most nerveless
people to be found anywhere in
Europe are the Berliners. Dem
mark in her own modest way
might be construed as a tonic
for war litters. There is little
talk about war or its immediate
danger and extraordinarily lit.
tie about the Soviet Union.
Below The Surface
The experience of the past
seven years seems to have
taught the Danes that since ii
is necessary to live fairly close
to this very obnoxious power,
there is no sense in spending
ones time in hopeless frustra-
tion or a turmoil of nerves.
Therefore the only sensible thing
is to go about ones business as
normally as possible.
During my brief stay here
shall be interested in seeing a
little bit below the surface as to
some of the characteristics of
Danish life, and especially of the
status of the Church in this
country mean the Catholic
Church, not the officially es-
tabiished Lutheran Church. Ex-
ternally Denmark has a placid,
bucolic sort of appearance. Mod
ernistic flats in Copenhagen,
workers dwellings in the cap
ital and smaller cities give the
appearance of prosperity. The
lush countryside would seem to
indicate that here is a land of
veritable milk and honey. NY
particular concern will be to
find out something about the
state of mind in Denmark, md
especially its religious state. In
two succeeding articles. | shall
attempt to describe very rapidly
some of the most salient facts
and impressions about Catholic
ism in this almost completely
Lutheran scene.

WASHINCTON LETTER

WASHINGTON - There is
general agreement on both sides
Of the Atlantic that only a unit
ed Europe" can stop the advance
of communism and create the
conditions that eventually may
lead to the liberation of the
countries overrun by the Soviets.
OF course, the old saying that
there is many slip 'twixt the
cup and the lip" is warningly
recalled hereby all those who
have not fallen prey to the bop-
ular habit of mistaking a slogan
for an accomplished fact-par-
ticularly when the fact to be
hoped for is such an enormous.
ly complicated thing as the res
toration of unity among the di-
vided peoples of a continent.
However, even cautious souls
have been gratified by the news
from Strasbourg telling of the
meeting of parliamentarians
from six western European coun-
tries linked together in the Schu-
man plan coal and steel COM
munity. They hail this step as a
move in the right direction.
They equally welcome the joint
maneuvers Of the NATO powers
as indications of growing west
ern unity
Yet, without in any way un-
derestimatine the importance of
such concrete developments, ex.
perienced observers of the Euro
pean scene here cannot quite
rid themselves of a feeling that

any day of the Seven-ddy tDeek?
A. There is certainly scriptur.
al authority for the week of sev-
en- days. Certain authors point
out natural fitness to this num-
Der as opposed to the ten-day
week of the French Revolution,
because of the seven days de-
scribed in Genesis (2:3). Some
j also consider it to be of the natu-
raj order, pointing to changes
of the moon every seven days.
At any rate there is no prob
lem for the Church If it accepts
convenient calendar with a
special day once a year. AS the
Church was empowered to
change the Lords Day to Sun
day, so it may accept this minor
adjustment. The principle in
volved is that the Lords Day be
kept as required by the living
Church.
Q. Who todS the founder of
the Retreat movement?
A. In a general way Christ
founded the movement by His
teaching and example, as in His
forty days in the desert. It was
continued by the Apostles (Acts
1:14 and the Fathers of the
Church. st. Jerome exhorted
Celantia to Choose to thyself a
suitable place, remote from the
noise of the household" and to
make a retreat. st. Peter Chry.
sologus urged the faithful with
this famous invitation: I'VE have
given year to the body, let us
give days to the soul" The
founder of the lay-Retreat move
ment, as Pope Plus XI points out
in his Encyclical on Retreats, is
st. Ignatius Loyola, with the
Spiritual Exercises. st. Charles
Borromeo used these Exercises
in his diocese and built the first
Retreat house. Since then Re-
treat houses have sprung up
throughout the world and near
ly every diocese in the United
States has facilities and an or
ganization for Retreats. In 1922
Pope Plus XI named st. Ignatius
Loyola as patron of those max
ing the Spiritual Exercises.

TO grow and prosper.
Few will deny that this at
mosphere" of which the Holy
Father spoke is still absent to
very large extent. Clouds of ma
tionsl resentments, distrust and
suspicion veil the scene where
the work toward unity is taking
place.
The Holy Father has reminded
Catholics that theirs is psrtic-
ular opportunity and duty to
help dispel such clouds and Gre
ate the atmosphere" of mutual
understanding, respect, sincerity
and benevolence which form the
real basis of unity.
A unity which disregards this
basis, a spurious unity" which
is only manufactured to suit
temporary convenienceS and
achieve material advantages, is
doomed to failure. II could new
er ward off the dangers of cul-
tural and social disintegration
which Christopher Dawson an
alyzed in his latest book, "Un-
derstanding Europe"
Perhaps, those vaguely feeling
that something is missing" in
the European movement toward
unity will come to realize, as
Dawson said, that the sources of
Europe's inner strength and uni
ty are "those fundamental spir-
itual principles which are in
separable from the Christian
faith and which have been the
foundation of the whole develop
ment of western culture"

extraordinarily little. The war

cinating place it always was, by
far the most extrovert of the
Scandinavian capitals. There is
something far more south-Ger-
man than Scandinavian about
Copenhagen - or at least what
we generally assume te be Scan
dinavian. It's more Vienna or Mu-
Mich - in the days before they
were so frightfully blighted -

reasonably have absorbed some
of its character. II is not unlike

Tonic For War Jiffers
I am not going to treat of
Danish reconstruction since the
occupation, nor of the various
problems that beset this little
land. Some of these questions
weigh very heavily on the Dan

more than once that "the T.G.W.

TO its credit and has trained
many leaders who have contrib
uted their services to the com

the general welfare" He ad-
mits that the constitution of the

The present writer has no way
of telling whether or not Mr..
Goldstein's conclusions are &C.

Arthur Deakin, has suggested
that some of them are not, Mr..
Gol1stein, he says, 'haS misun-

Goldstein has performed q use

about the rest of the British la
hor movement.

The same questions ought to
be asked. and scientifically an

and American employers associ-
ations. Presumably. all of them
are sufficiently democratic in
theory, but TO what extent, pre-
