ed in various forms one billion
dollars worth of aid. Imagine,
Comrades, what a great help this
has been to us. 1t has eased the
burden of our people in their
task of industrialization and in
the building of socialism"
The Central Committee of our
party did a great deal of think
ing before We asked for aid"
Tito continued. I'VE always stood
fast in our position and we never
gave any concessions in either
our home or foreign policy. OF
course, there have been at
tempts from various sides, such
as from the Vatican and some
Catholic circles in America, to
prevent us from receiving aid
without attaching conditions, for
example, the release of Step
mac.
"We released Stepinac to de

W WASHINCTON LETTER

WASHINGTON.-Marshal Tito
is selling himself to the people
of Yugoslavia as a sort of slick
er" who can handle both the
"sharpers" of the West and the
"dopes" of the East,
This capital has proof of this
in the text Of a Tito address,
broadcast for home consumption
in Yugoslavia but heard in this
country. 1t was the Marshals ad-
dress to the Yugoslav Students
Union, a talk which already has
received some treatment in the
press.
Tito leaves no doubt that he is
still a communist. He told the
students that it is the purpose of
universities to build real Com
munist Party members. He is
content to have somewhat fewer
communists, if they are better
communists, he said. He himself
is a better and more orthodox
feminist than are the people now
ruling Russia.
I'VE are under the influence
OF a wave of lower bourgeois con-
ceptions from the West" he said,
"and pressure from the East
which attempts to impose upon us
those Soviet practices which
have dealt a death blow to the
immortal works of Lenin"
lie assured his people that,
since "our break with the Soviet
Union" the party line in Yugo-
slavia has been oriented toward
collaboration with the Western
countries in the interests of the
building up of Socialism and the
elimination of backwardness."
"We have not committed any
offense against any preeepts of
Marxism and Leninism in our re-
lations with the West" he empha-

ment of criminals, should still
steadfastly deny the thing that
brings these activities about and
makes them necessary: Original
Sin.
1t is, one would think, the
most obvious and self-proving of
all dogmas-the thing that no.
body would argue against. That
man has something very badly
wrong with him is evident to
anyone who has a mans society
for long. 1t might therefore, be
expected that when a priest CIV
ing instruction says, MAN has
a tendency towards evil" the
listener would nod and say, ooh,
yes. That | will certainly grant.
Now 90 on to something more
controversial"
But that is not the way it
happens. In most cases the mod
ern mind will grant, with little
quibbling, the truth of super
natural mysteries of which it
had not heard an hour before.
A convert rarely demands proofs
of the Hypostatic Union. He will
hardly ever sit still long enough
to hear the classical Thomistic
proofs of the existence of God.
But this thing, already familiar
to him, he refuses to admit. This
Original Sin, which eonfronts him
on every side, including the mir
ror, he rejects as superstition.
Hard on the Vanity
There is no intellectual logic
in this flight from the fact of
Original Sin; but the man who
denies it has a good reason for
resisting this, of all the Cath
Ollie truths, with the greatest
fervor. For he knows, in ad-
vance, what the next step is 60
ing to be: if he once gives in on
this point, then he will be asked
to do something about it. For
this is an illness which he in
herited through no individual
faults of his own, but which we
are responsible for trying to
eradicate. To admit mans moral
imperfections involves a respon-
sibility for doing something
about them.
Self-change is arduous and
hard on the vanity. It is much
pleasanter to blame some exter-
nal circumstance for the weak
nesses of men. ''The forty-hour
week will fix men up" some

sity, warning them of the mis-
use of education and the danger
of yielding to educational infil-
tration by the followers of Stain.
We are still being presented
with a case history of this dan
ger in the continued disclosures
by the Westchester County Amer
lean Legion of communist-front
affiliations on the part of Sarah
Lawrence College faculty mem
bers.
Intolersble Tolerance
In its latest report, the Legion
shows that Joseph Barnes, re-
Gently appointed a professor of
social science at the college, was
identified as communist by
five witnesses under oath before
the Senate subcommittee on In
ternat Security. II has also dis
closed that Mrs. Helen Lynd, an
outstanding faculty member,
was cited IL times last month in
reports based on records of the
House Committee on Un-Amer-
lean Activities. But most dis
turbing of all was the revelation
that DR.. Harold Taylor, presi-
dent of the college, has sponsor
ed such pro-communist efforts
as the Bureau on Academic Free
dom of the National Council of
Arts, Sciences and Professions.
This National Council was cited
as a communist front on num-
ber of occasions.
From many statements by DR..
Taylor, and also from his men,
berShip on the Committee of
1000 to abolish the Committee
on Un-American Activities, the
Legion concludes that the col
lege president has been guilty
of "intolerable tolerance" to-
ward pro-communists.
With this background, it is lit.

supposedly exclusive college for
women have participated in May

INQUIRY CORNER

Q. Why are Catholics forbid
den to marry during Lent?
A. The solemnities of mar
.riage are forbidden to Catholics
during Advent and Lent, be-
cause of the nature of the sea-
son, but marriage itself is not
forbidden. The solemn blessing
and the nuptial mass with all
the fitting public rejoicing and
ceremony is not appropriate to
the season of penance. Since mar
riage is a great event most Cath
olics find it no great hardship to
plan it outside these closed
times, but for those who do the
Bishop will sometimes permit
the nuptial blessing.
Q. What is the origin of the
Stations of the Cross?
A. From the time of Constan-
tine Christians have made pill
grimages to the Holy Land to
visit the scenes of Christ's life
and of His road to crucifixion.
For those who could not make
the voyage to the, holy places
st. Petronius in the fifth GEN.
tury erected in st. Stephens
monastery at Bologna a number
of chapels, modelled on the chief
shrines of Jerusalem. Blessed
Alvarez in the fifteenth century,
on his return from the Holy
Land, built a number of chapels
in the Dominican friary of Cor
dova, on the walls of which were
painted the chief scenes of the
Passion. The erection of the Sta
tions in churches as we have
them did not become widespread
until the close of the seventeenth
century, when Pope Innocent XI
granted special indulgenceS to
the faithful who would follow
Christ in the Way of the Cross.
Q. Please explain conflict of
liturgy and priUdte deUotionS.
A. There is no real conflict
between them. Among members
of the Church however we have
extremes as Pope Plus XII
pointed out in his Encyclical on
the Liturgy (Mediator Deb. 'It
is an unquestionable fact that
the work of our Redemption is
continued" he writes, "and that
its fruits are impaired to us,
during the celebration of the Lit
urgy, notably in the august Sac
rifice of the altar. Christ acts
each day to save us, in the Sac
ramentS and in His holy Sac
rifice." He condemns those who
say that it excludes private de-
votion. g. they feel that all
other religious exercises not di-
rectly connected with the sacred
Liturgy should be omitted"
but these conclusions "are false,
lnsldious, and quite pernicious
:" He adds later: 1T is our
wish that the faithful as well
should take pare in these prac-
tices. The chief of these are: med
itation on spiritual things. dill

Col. Judy, who has Just re-

top-flight surgeons are stationed
in forward hospitals now as a
matter Of routine. Because Of

surgery is being performed within
a short time after a man is
injured.
This is particularly helpful, he
said. in chest, brain and heart
injuries, where danger Of death
increases the longer an opera

Another factor in reducing
mortality below 2 per cent Of all
casualties, he said, is the speed
with which battlefront casualties

gical hospital.

He said every Mobile Army

tween the battlefront and the

few miles behind the front. The
