Bao Dai really is a democratic
ruler or not. There has been an
inordinate amount of sniping
against the French and their
magnificent effort in Indo-China
under trying conditions-a reac-
ton not unlike that of the
French communists who have
for years been waging a propa-
ganda war against the national
effort in the Far East.
Perhaps the invasion of Laos
and the necessity for American
material support will concen-
trate attention sufficiently on
this area TO make il clear, once
and for all, that France has not
been dragging her feet and that
her inability to have ten divi-
sions in Germany is the direct
result of the divisions begged
down in the rice paddles of Indo-
China, all but forgotten.
If there were ever a time in
which total solidarity with
France is necessary it is now.
The presence of France in the
Vietnam is indispensable to any,
thing like safety in this portion
of the Far East. The tragic spec
tacle of Burma, which seems TO
be all but dominated by COM
munist sympathizers, and the
weakness of Siam and India
should be evidence enough to
demonstrate that the defeat OF
France in Indo-China is simply
the defeat of civilization.
Theorists Lost China
The talk about French imper-
ialism seems to me to be singu-
larly out of place. The issue to-
day completely transcends the
former question of imperialism
versus independence. Only the
totally blind can fail to see that
a French victory is as funda-
mental for the world in this area
as is holding the line for the
United Nations in Korea. To
those theorists who worry about
the degree of popular support
enjoyed by Bao Dai, it might be
said that China was lost because
of their concern about whether
the Kuomintang was as demo-
cratically constituted as they
wished.
This sort of speculation. of
which we are still the victims.
would seem to be somewhat
more than slightly misplaced
when the real issue is salvation
from the Bolshevik horror, or
some form of moderate, cooper
ative arrangement with the ma
ior European powers. |, for one
am not convinced that French
collaboration in the Vietnam can
possibly compare with what the
communists offer.

What Is The Origin
OF The Holy Hour?

@. What is the origin OF the
Holy Hour?
A. 1t was taught to st. Mar
garet Mary Alacoque by our
Lord when he appeared to her
In 1878. 1t is an hour of vocal and
mental prayer in union with Our
Lord, especially in connection
with His Passion. In 1929 Father
Debrosse founded a confrater-
nifty at Paray-le-Monial to spread
the devotion. Pope Plus TX is
sued rescript in 1875 granting
plenary indulgence to associ-
ates of the Apostleship of Pray
er for making the Holy Hour.
@. If man is a great sinner
and stall loUeS God ,pilI he not
be SdUed?
A. Christ said, mo servant
can serve two masters; for eth
er he will hate the one and love
the other, or else he will love
the one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and NAM
mon" luke 1919 He also
said: IF you love me, keep my
commandments" tLuke 14:15)
We are all sinners as we admit
To Our Lady when we say, pray
for us sinners" but a man can
not persevere in serious sin and
at the same time love God.
Sin means turning to something
other than God for happiness.
We cannot do that and love God
at the same time.
@. Can scientists eUer create
life. IF they cannot lDhy not?
A. God made all kinds of
wild beasts, every kind of cat
tie, and every kind of creature
crawling on the ground" Gene
sis 1:25) There are some who
hold the theory of organic evo-
luton, involving such a change
from non-life to life. The ia
nous French zoologist, Yves
Delage (1854-1920) who accept
ed evolution as theory of
change within species rejected
this "On facts it must be &C
knowledged that the formation
of species one from another has
not been demonstrated at all"
From Aristotle through st.
Thomas Aquinas il has been ac-
cepted and proved by reason
that life is passed on and not
started since Gods act of crea-
ton. Cardinal Mercier in his
manual of philosophy states:
Whenever new life is mani
tested it is invariably connect
ed with previous life: omne
Vivum eX Vivo :"
Q. Who is the Anti-ChriSt?
A. This title has been applied
to Nero, Napoleon, Mussolini
and Hitler, but no one knows
the application. Catholic au-
thoritles generally agree that
the Anti-Christ is a person. He
will be an enemy of Christ who
embodies the powers of dark
ness at the time of the second
coming of Christ.

@. What is meant by saying
that the Bible is inspired. Does
Il mean that God dictated the
tUordS and all?
A. BY inspiration is meant
Gods guidance of the authors of
the sacred books. Pope Leo XII,
Providentissimus Deus) states:
For by supernatural power He
so moved and impelled them
to write that the things
which He ordered, and those
only, they, first, rightly under
stood, then willed faithfully to
write down, and finally express
ed in apt words and with in
fallible truth" The literary ex-
preston of the divinely-inspir-
ed ideas varies with the indivdu-
al author, following his char
acter and his times"
Q. Do the JeeoS reject the
Trinity? If so, ,Uhy?
A. They do not accept the
doctrine of the Trinity. The
chief reasons would seem to be
that, not fully understanding
the teaching, they consider it op-
posed TO the idea of one God,
and because it presumes the
coming of the Messias. Not ac-
cepting the New Testament and
Christ as the Messias they do
not accept the full revelation in
the New Testament wherein
Christ presents this truth.
@. What IS the GnSUer to a
cynical friend of mine soho re-
ferS TO the table" of Lots aUife
turning into a pillar of salt?
A. We know it is contained
in the Bible and is certainly
true. II is told in Genesis
1925 and Christ warns us to
remember Lots wife" duke
1892. The possibility of this
punishment for wilful disobedi-
ence is certain for anyone who
believes in Gods power. Some
Scripture scholars hold that the
destruction of the city of Sodom
and Lots wife were caused by
a natural disaster, earthquake
and an explosion. In this case
God would have acted indirectly
to punish the wicked.
.. What is q homily?
A. A homily is commen-
tary on the Sacred Scripture de-
signed to teach the meaning Of
the text and some spiritual ap-
plications. The name was first
applied around the time of
Origen (185-253). The Sunday
sermon is usually homily on
the Gospel of the day.
Q. Where is Mount Thdbor?
A. Distinguished for its strik-
ing site and outline it rises
above the Plain of Esdraelon,
five miles southeast of Nazareth.
II is often mentioned in Jewish
history and was the scene of the
TRANSPORTATION.

Insurgent Bloc Says
Maryland Assembly
is MisIed on Surplus
By the As.oeio.ed Press

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 14.-Eleven
insurgent Democrats from the
Maryland Senate today charged
that the Board of Revenue Esti-
mates misled the General Assem-
bly, by predicting next years
surplus funds at 1921 900. They
declared it should be $40 million.
The insurgent bloc, which be-
lieveS the Democratic Party in
Maryland needs some new lead
ership," made it's charges in a
letter addressed to Comptroller
j. Mi!lard Tawes, Treasurer
Hooper S. Miles and Budget Di-
rector James j. Rennie. They
comprise the Board of Revenue
Estimates. All three are long
time Democrats. -
The practice of underestimate
ing revenues temptS the Cover
nor to expand his budget for the
succeeding year without asSum-
ing the responsibility for increas-
ing taxes" the group Of II Sem
atcrS stated.
General Funds Rising.
'The evil is demonstrated in
the budgets submitted to the
legislature by Gov. McKeldin
wherein the amounts requested
for general funds have risen in
two years by $40 million, or an
increase Of about % per cent, :"
they wrote. & 49, d
They said also that an UNDER
estimation of revenues results
in the continuation of taxes at
level higher than necessary to
operate the government"
They charged that over q
period Of years misleading
budgetary data" has been fur
nished the General Assembly.
Reviewing the subject "in the
interest of a possible reduction
in the tax burden" the II Sem
ators said, eve unhesitatingly
predict there will be surplus
of at least $40 million at the
end of the fiscal year 1854"
The insurgent bloc is composed
OF Senators Melnicove, Preston

Single Out Real Estate Tax.
The IL Senator's, who got to-
gether in an unsuccessful ef-
fort to select the leaders for this
session, said q specific instance
of faulty estimating was in real
estate revenues.
The State Tax Commission for
the last IS years has assumed
assessments will increase about
2 per cent every year, the SEN
atorS said.
Experience shows that this
is too conservative an estimate.
For example, the 1852 assessable
basis was actually 9.6 per cent
above 1851 estimates"

mates announced this week it
will meet Tuesday to 60 over its
figures again.

| Harbor Tunnel Cost
Is Put af-S36 Million
BY the Assoeiassd Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md. Feb. 14.-
Gov. McKeldin said today that
the State Roads Commission has
been told in a preliminary report
from a firm of consulting engi-
neers that it would cost at least
$50 million to build q tunnel
under Baltimore Harbor:.
The Governor said two sites
have been studied. The Fort
McHenry-to-Canton route would
cost an estimated $50 million.
and the longer Fairfield to Can
ton route would cost an estimated
$40 million more.
He said the figures apply only
to the tunnel with short ap-
proaches to the toll plazas and
that the financing of approach
roads to the harbor crossing
within Baltimore City also is
under study.
The consulting engineers esti-
mated that it would take %
years of revenue from the cross
ing alone to pay for the Fort
McHenry- Canton route, and 81
years for the Fairfield tunnel
They used 261a cents per car as
an average toll. and 31a pei
cent as the interest rate.
The Governor said it is be-
lieved that the length of time il
would take to pay off the tunnel
costs could be reduced materially
by pooling revenue from three
existing toll bridges with what
would be taken in from the har-
Dor crossing.
1t is believed the tunnel
would ease the bottle-neck ot
traffic coming into the city from
the south.
