the University of Georgia. where
Father Baeyens had the distinction
Of receiving an honorary degree.
As a sideline comment. Father
Baeyens said that mot only at
Georgia, but also at Ohio State,
the people were very surprised TO
find that priest would be attend
ing an agricultural course"
Never one to let a stone remain
unturned, he has since been max
ing sure that everyone knows his
Institute at Louvain is something
TO be proud Of.
Sandwiched in between his
Washington visit and his coming
to OSU Father Baeyens studied
at the University of Saltwater in
Oklahoma and at the University
of Lincoln in Nebraska. The Ital-
ian, YugoslaV and Greece govern
ments also sent representatives
this year to America. while ex-
perts from other Marshal Plan
countries came over in 1852.
Another indication OF Father
BaeyeH's stature in his field is
the fact that Spain invited him to
set up an institute patterned after
that in Louyain.
Asked about his views on the
American way of life, Father Baey-
ems gave this reply:
you Americans are bfoad-mind-
ed and have large views. while in
Belgium We are much more mar
row in our concepts. For instance.
it is considered very wrong for a
Belgian Catholic TO read neu-
trail newspaper rather than one Of
the dozen or so daily Catholic pa
pers that are published there. Why
ii is that you build such fine
churches but do not support a Ca
tholic daily paper would puzzle
us in Belgium.
Yet the American Catholics i'm
press me as being better Catholics
than their Belgian brothers. per.
haps because there is too much OF
traditionalism in European relig-
ion. You Americans have had to
fight for your religion, and have
many converts who know what 1t
is TO be on the outside, while in
Belgium the priests receive some
support from the government" "
One aspect of American life
that Father Baeyens enjoys very
much is the contact with the par
ishes. after more than . years
in the priesthood, it seems odd
that ] should have TO come TO
America 10 do my first work in
parish on Sundays" he said.
While he is we'll pleased with
his American-made ciearillos, and
the economy of our classical phon-
ograph records. Father BaeyenS IS
nevertheless anxious TO get back to
his beloved Institute at LouYain
Il have 81 assistants there" he
smiled, And | want to make sure
they have been keeping on the Job
while I've been gone"

Coop Leader
Saws America
Faces Crisis

ANTiG0NISH. n. S. - fNcD-
The people Of North America are
facing "one Of the most fateful
moral crises of our time" Muir
ray d. Lincoln, president OF the Co.
Operative League Of the United
States, declared IN an address
here.
Mr Lincoln, Who is president
and general manager OF the Farm
Bureau Insurance Companies. with
headquarters IN Columbus. Ohio.
spoke at convocation OF st. Fran
els Xavier University. The occa.
sion marked the 25th anniversary
of its world-famous extension de-
partment. Mr. Lincoln who is also
president Of CARE and labor mem.
Der of the National Security Re
sources Board was one OF % from
the United States and Canada who
received honorary degrees.
Mr.. Lincoln said there are three
things feeding the present moral
crisis hunger, conflict and fear
He pointed out that the world pop
ulation has grown substantially but
that food production has not in
creased since 1888. He added. how
ever, that in the United States
there has been an increase in food
production over that OF population.
As a result of these conditions. Mr
Lincoln said, it is as if there we're
two worlds.
In one there is hunger and dis
ease-n0 freedom, no friendship
and little hope" Mr.. Lincoln de-
clared. Can we ourselves. with our
plenty, long remain free when a
billion other people. our neighbors,
are imprisoned by hunger"
Emphasizing that wars never
solved world problems. Mr.. Lin
coin said the time has come when
moral alternative must be
found. He added that there must
be raising of economic sights
and said it lis time to bury for
ever antiquated, selfish and un-
democratic concepts"
Stressing the effects OF fear, Mr..
Lincoln asserted: IT Is easier for
you than for us to see that the
United States-not so long ago so
cockSure. so full Of breakfast and so
brash-is now afraid that she is
sick An entire nation has stopped
everything else TO hunt commun-
lists and to fear communism. And
so obsessed has America become
within this search that she is in
grave danger of losing her way of
life-not so much to communism
as to fear of communism.

Under the terms Of the Marshall
Plan. European countries receiving
aid are asked to send representa-
tives to America 10 study our
methods of agriculture and soil
conservation. the idea being that
an increase in food production in

munism a mortal blow This far
sighted program now administered
by the Mutual Security Agency.
has brought distinguished visitor
to Columbus.
He is Canon Joseph Baeyens. a
Doctor OF Science, an agricultural
engineer. and head Of the Soil
Science Institute at the centuries
old Louvain University in Belgium
Father BaeyenS is the designated
representative Of Belgium in this
study. and the official guest of the
United States.
Well-traveled since he first came
to America, and presently working
III soil conservation at Ohio State.
Father Baeyens is completely re-
laXed now at St Dominics. where
he is staying with his fellow -coun-
tryman Father Albert DUhuyyet-
ter, CICM.
Asked about his impression Of
Americas agricultural system. Fa-
ther Baeyens replied that "he was
sstounded to see how many of the
methods were the same as those
used in his country. Then he
added:
"You in America have the great
advantage of technical possibili-
ties that we in Europe don't have.
American technical people are
wonderfully trained. and we have
much to learn from them" :
In the South. for instance. strip
cropping. contouring. crop rota-
tion and other scientific methods
applied in the last 20 years have
overcome the damage done through
100 years of improper farming that
led to serious erosion. The same
problem exists in Africa. but il too
will be overcome with the help of
American methods.
In addition to his teaching du.
ties at Louvain's fine agricultural
school, Father Baeyens. at the re-
quest of his country. went to the
Belgian Congo Is years ago to set
up a soil conservation institute in
that area wEich was recently found

His book. Soils of Cen
tral Africa" aroused the interest
of the Americans to such an extent
that the US. has since sent soil
experts to Belgium and then on to
the Congo to study Father Baey-
ems work and provide help wherev-
er possible.
While his OSU work is taken
very seriously, Father Baeyens said
the principal object in his Amer
lean visit is to prepare for the
International Congress of Soil
Science which he is sponsoring in
the Belgion Congo next year
Many Americans are going"
he said. "and we want to see how
the worlds food production can
be raised through African efforts
Our work in the Belgian area of
Africa has now been adopted bv
other countries there, and we all
arc using American methods to
