Six days before Christmas,

struggled into a part of Pennsyl-
vania formerly known as Mount
Joy Manor. Mount Joy, now
topped by an observation tower,
and Mount Misery were both
named by William Penn.

vinced that nations must study
the moral aspect of warfare and
the ethical principles that should
guide its military leaders in the
event of future war
Though we sincerely hope that
in Gods mercy we shall be preserv-
ed from the horrifying tragedy of a
third world war" he said, I'VE are
acting prudently if we study in a
calm unbiased spirit the moral
principles pertinent to the waging
of war"
On the atom bomb, Father Con-
nell, said.
I'VE could say without hesita-
ton that it would not be morally
permissible to use ore of these
powerful bombs on such target as
plane factory or arsenal if it
could be estimated that the number
OF civilian deaths would be num-
bered in the thousands.
ION the other hand, if the OBJ
jective were something of the
greatest Importance, such as the
factory in which the enemy are
making all their nuclear weapons
or the building in which all the
chiefs of the hostile forces are
gathered together. it might be JUS
tiflable to use an A-Bomb or H.
Bomb, even though destruction
would come to thousands of non
combatants.
Father Connell based his deci-
slons on the principle that It is
morally wrong to kill or wound di-
rectly the non-combatants of an
er'emy nation.
To put practically all the civil
isns in the category of combatants
on the score that at least remotely
the. contribute TO the war effort
is utterly unreasonable The ma
jority of civilians are non-combat-
ants"
There are occasions in which the
indirect killing of a noncombatant
can be justified. however, the theo-
logian said
''The good effect must be suffic-
iently beneficial to justify the per-
mitting of the bad effect" That is
the determining principle of many
ethical probl lens in modern
warfare, he stated, particularly
the problem of the morality OF air
raids which will result in the death
or injury of non-combatants."
The principle is applied partic-
ularly to the problem of the NOR
atty of using the atom bomb. he
stated. 1T must be admitted that in
view of the destructive force of
nuclear bombs. their use is likely
to iniure and kill many more non
combatants than the, weapons hith-
erto employed in warfare"

Private School
System Lauded
By Educators
BY Bob Cream
(N.c.W.c. Correspondent


Catholics are backing the public
schools.
That's what more than 100 T. S.
public school officials said at an
Atlantic City convention. Asked if
Catholic schools hindered their
schools, they unanimously answer
CO "no."
They said further that psrochial
schools do not split the commun-
ity down the middle; that public
and private schools and their pu-
pills get along we'll together.
The rank and file members of
tie AASA seemed not to agree
with some of the organizations of
ficials who have publicly warned
that private denominational schools
constitute threat" to the public
school system and to L. S. unity.
Private parochial schools defin-
itely do not create group cleav-
sgeS or tensions in my commun.
ity +" Herold C. Hunt. general sup
erintendent of schools in Chicago
stated.
That statement was repeated by
school officials of cities, towns
and rural areas from New York
to California. The public school
administrators, gathered in Allan
tic City for convention of the
American Association of School
Administrators, were questioned in
Convention Hall, on the boardwalk,
in hotel rooms. A cross section of
more than 100 educators said Cath
Ollie schools cause no problems in
their communities.
In all six communities in which
have worked we have enjoyed
nothing but the most harmonious
relationship between public and
parochial schools" Mr.. Hunt of
Chicago said. THE two systems
maintain frequent friendly con
/ tact"
Have Catholics backed Chicago's
| public schools? They certainly
have" said Mr.. Hunt. "The best
illustration of this is that the
majority of our school board mem
bers are Catholics"
The existence of both private
and public schools is part OF the
American pattern" he stated. 'In
fact, should the private school sys-
tenn ever close down, the public
school system would be thrown in
to a state of chaos"
Called Non-Divisivs
AS for the threat of "grour
eleavageS7 Mr.. Hunt disagreed
with those leaders of the AASA
who have warned that private
schools should not be encouraged
In his experience. he said, pri
vste schools "are not divisive in
character at all"
Those comments are typical oi
/ hundreds. Not one of the educators
questioned cited a case OF antagon
ism between the two school sys
TENS and all denied that Catholics
are enemies of the public school.

State approval was denounced here
by the Polish Government-in-Ex Exile
as aimed at severing ties between
Catholic Poland and the Holy See.
The denunciation was contained

persecution of the Church which.
it is said, has already witnessed
the Imprisonment of six Bishops

A-Bomb Use Can Often
Be Wrong, Priest Says

BROOKLYN, N.Y.-(NC) - Use
of nuclear weapons such as the A
Bomb and H-bomb is immoral ii
the object is civilian populations,
a Catholic theologian has declared.
Such instruments of war are
moral, however, IF the target were
so situated that few non-combat-
ants would be in the vicinity" or
IF sufficient warning were given
to the inhabitants of city (where
a military objective exists so that
they will have the opportunity to
flee" Father Francis ]. Cohnell.
C.SS.R. said in an address at st.
johns University in Brooklyn.
The main factor in determining
whether use of the nuclear weap-
ons is right or wrong is whether
the military advantage produced is
Sufficiently great to compensate

killed or wounded, the Catholic
University theologian said.
The bombings of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki were opposed to the prin-

years ago, Father Connell said,
