(Macmillan), two volumes. 1t was
started by Fighting Bob's" widow,
Belle Case LaFollette, who was an
active participant in his work.
After her death their daughter,
Fola LaFollette, took up the task
and completed it.
Henry Cabot Lodge: A Biog-
raphy." by John A. Garraty
(Knopf) belongs in the same
period
These two works concern the
Wisconsin Progressive to whom
many in his day looked for leader
ship, and the Massachusetts, con-
sentative Republican. They served
in the Senate at the same time.
LaFollette was the center of a
storm of hate when he opposed
World War I. Both men opposed
the Versailles Treaty and the
League of Nations. Time has been
kinder to LaFollette than to Lodge,
who was moved by bitter partisan
ship and hatred of Wilson.
The story of a great friendship
between two extraordinarily dis
similar men is found in the two
volume "Holmes-Laski Letters:
The Correspondence of Mr.. JUS
tice Holmes and Harold j. Laski.
19l6-1935" (Harvard). Mark De
Wolfe Howe is the editor. The
letters make fascinating reading.
On the one side is the aging jurist
with his sparkle and the mellow
ing philosophy of his later years.
On the other is the young leftist
English economist, frequently bril-
liant, frequently cratic, frequently
sacrificing veracity to impress and
entertain.

Bio Business Patterns

Strangely, the Civil War books
which were so numerous in other
years-and many so worth while
are few this year. The Lincoln
books, as distinct from the books
on Civil War campaigns and cam
paigners, continue. One new de-
velopment is the interest serious
writer's are beginning to show in
Big Business and the Big Bust
nessman, both important features
of American history.
Returning briefly to the Church.

Potsdam Conference during which
Sir Winston's tenure as Prime
Minister ended. Already the
Russians were drawing down an
iron curtain on their 'front.'" as
he warned President Truman as
early as May, 1945. Promises made
at Yalta had been broken and the
Russian menace had disclosed it
self. With many critical problems
looming against the future the
wartime Prime Minister had to
bow out. He did so without re-
ordinations.

Whole World Is Crying For Peace
|Msgr. Glenn Ayers In Radio Talk

sincere desire for peace is found in the very souls
of all of u.s. the people under sway of hostile powers
Msgr Paul Glenn declared in Catholic Hour broadcast
last Sunday.
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1953-07-17


Nobody is burning books in this
country, not even figuratively. No.
body is burning anything; not even
dirty pictures. The peddlers of
lies, filth, innuendo and slander
are getting away with murder.
We could use a few bonfires;
and we aren't getting them.
For the President or anybody
else to talk about book burning
is to play into the hands of do
mestic and foreign propagandists
who represent Americans as in q
state of hysteria
The air is filled with rot about
switch hunts" book burnings," "in
vasions of privacy" "silencing oi
minorities," and all that
You'd think that Americans were
hiding in cellars reading books by
guttering candlelight, whereas the
fact is that drug stores and news
stands are so cluttered with pub
lished junk that you can hardly get
through the aisles.
The only hysterical people
know are the people who are cry
ing "hysterial" The only witch
hunters are those who call decent
and loyal Americans witches be
cause we're trying to root out trai
tors and clean up printed anc
photographed filth.

not the master, of its citizens.
Hence" he said, IF all the citi-
zens are what they should be the
state will infallibly be what it
should be, the good and faithful
servant of the corporate group of
citizens. And therefore, if the
peace of God abides IN the hearts
of men, wars must cease between
states"
One of the strong and active
roots of wars" Msgr. Glenn said,
is the misapprehension and mis-
application of human science.
The misguided sociologist, he
continued. too often seeks to dc
good to men, but not to man; he
thinks he knows what society is
for; he often fails to know what
individual men are for. Yet both
men and society are for God and
for nothing else or other"
He also lashed out at the United
Nations for beginning their delib-
erations by Intentionally ignoring
God in Difference to an atheistiC
nation. He added:
1T is God who giveth victories;
it is God who establishes harmony
among men; it is Goo who is the
God of Peace. And in its initial
act and public manifesto, the hu-
man council for peace gave notice
to God that men were going to do
this business alone"

As Matters Stand
Joe Breig Says:
Now About Book Burning

The folks who are making the
noise know why they are making
it. They are trying to paralyze our
wills with the old stop thief
technique. Ask a Communist if he's
Communist, and he tries to ST.
lence you by screeching that you're
a fascist and an imperialist.
Demand that the u. S. Informa-
tion Service stop spending our
money to distribute pro-Commun-
list books, and your reward is to be
called a book burner. Call for ac-
tion to stamp out pornography,
and somebody starts yelling "cen-
sorship."
The enemies of America know
that they're hitting us in tender
spots. We don't like censorship
and we're the best-natured people
on earth. We're the exact opposite
of witch-hunters. We continually
put up with nonsense that would
raise revolutions in most coun-
tries.
Also, we have a respect for
books that almost amounts to idol
airy. That's hangover from the
nineteenth century, when most lit
erary men were decent and dis
tinguished. We adore authors, even
when we don't read their stuff. We
tend to think that there's some
thing sacrosanct about pages be.
tween hard covers.
There isn't. A book is as good
or as bad as its contents. II its
contents stink, it belongs in the in.
cinerator with the rest of the gar
bage.
We respect educated folks, too.
But if an educated person belongs
to the Soviet conspiracy, then we
don't want him teaching in our
schools.
We have perfect right to ask
professor whether he's a Com.
munist. If he refuses to answer
he can't, by calling us names, stop
us from reaching the obvious con
clusion.
America is not IN any danger
from book burning. But America
is endangered by crooked Com
munist authors and book review.
ers and their like. America also is
endangered by dollar-mad publish
ers who are entirely willing TO
pervert our young people if by
doing so they can turn fast buck
I'm as much in favor of freedom
Of the press as anybody; but
don't duck the responsibility that
goes with freedom. A good sub
! iect for any discussion club would
be: What is freedom of press, and
what duties go with it?"
Another good project would be
a study OF ways and means to ar
mour our minds against the slip
perry characters who try TO stop us
from being good citizens by calling
us names.

An account of the papal audi
ence printed in Osservatore Ro-
mano, Vatican City daily, stated
that the Prince gave the Pontiff a
message of reverent good wishes"
from Emperor Hirohito OF Japan
and expressed his own profound
joy at being able to visit Rome.
The Pope expressed his pleasure
at the Princes sentiments, accord
ing to Osservatore and stated his
good wishes for the continued
prosperity of the Prince, the En-
peror, the imperial family and the
Japanese people"

patriarchal basilicas in Rome on
