In this connection we might
also refer 10 recent state

try Council Plan, made in re-
Sponse to an inquiry by the Chi
eago Catholic Labor Alliance
and printed with approval by
that organization in the June
issue of its official publication.
This recent statement by Reuth-
er on the lCP can serve as a
partial reply to Toledano's
sweeping accusation that Reuth-
er believes in the class struggle.
Industry Councils, Reuther re
marks in his interview with the
GLA. cant be achieved through
collective bargaining by
their very nature they require

can't achieve them by fighting
for them. There must be a com
pletely voluntary acceptance of
the idea by both parties" Sure
ly this is not the language of
man who believes. in the class
struggle.
That Letter From Moscow
Toledano says that Reuther's
anti-communism is strictly polit-
ical not moral or theological"
We happen TO have discussed this
problem with Reuther on a num-
Der of occasions. On the basis
of these conversations. we are
compelled to disagree with To
ledano's statement. In our opin-
ion. the evidence adduced by
Toledano is altogether uncon-
yineing.
Readers OF the Catholic press
will also want to know that
Reuther has publicly denied
has declared that he is prepared
to deny under oath-that he
wrote the famous letter from
Moscow, which is referred TO in

INQUIRY CORNER

q. What authors are com
pletelg bldckhsted BY the Inder?
A. Just as parents cannot al
low their children to try" pois-
on or razor blades neither can
the Church permit Catholics TO
try poisonous books. The gener-
al rule binds all Christians and
always has. 1t is better TO lose
an eye or hand than to lose
ones soul. Matthew 5:29-30) The
Index is not "black list" in the
narrow sense of partisan boycott
ting or dictatorial restriction.
1t is a small list of books of in
ternational note which are forbid
den to followers of Christ by
the Church of Christ, speaking
in His Name. Among the well
known authors whose complete
works are forbidden are: Anatole
France, Thomas Hobbies, David
Hume, Maurice Maeterlinck,
Pierre Proudhon. Jean. Paul
Sartre and Emile Zola. Practically
all the novels of Stendhal, George
Sand. Balzac, Alexandra Dumas
and Gabrielle D'Annunzio are for
hidden.

A. Christ alone is the Mediator
and Redeemer. Confession (Sac-
rament of Penance) like the other
sacraments applies the mediation
of Christ to men. In st. Johns
Gospel t20:21-23) Christ clearly
makes the Apostles and their
successors his representatives:
"As the Father has sent Me !
also send you Receive you
the Holy Ghost Whose SINS
you shall forgive. they are for
given :" Since God grants the
supernatural life in Baptism and
restores it by His goodness He
certainly. is the One to name the

W4SHTlNGTON LETTER

w A ii INGTON - However
bad conditions are in Soviet Rus
sia-and no one here seems TO
know for sure-the Reds can be
greatly embarrassed by resolu-
tion that is before the Congress
at the present time.
The resolution. introduced by
Representative Charles j. Kerr
stem of Wisconsin, calls for the
appointment OF a special House
committee TO investigate the
"phoney' elections held in the
Baltic countries in 1910 which,
led to the incorporation of
Lithuania LatYia and Estonla
into the Soviet Union Backers
OF the resolution say they have
an excellent chance OF having 1t
adopted, even with Congress
pressing for adjournment. If the
House adopts the resolution, the
special commltlee can meet ana
take testimony during the recess
OF Congress.
The So-calied elections IN the
Baltic countries, through which
il was made TO appear that the
Balts invited Moscow to come IN
and take them over, are of great
historic and propaganda import
ance. They represent beginning
TO what has now become a glgan-
tic Soviet aggression. They serV-
cd as a proving ground for many
OF the tactics that we're to he
used later in Hungary, Czecho
slovakia, Poland, and Germany.

government have never learned
anything from history, or acted
on principles deducible from
it," The same thing, in Ger
man philosophic slang. In any
case, if this is true. it is time
to call an end to it.
History is being made, in our
day. at so rapid pace and
with so thorough dissemina-
tion of its facts that there is
little excuse for us to stop our
ears to its lessons. Our states
mems failures do not have to
wait for quarter of A century
to hatch: the mistakes they
made in estimating Uncle Joe
Stain brought terror to the
earth within five years. The er-
rors that our leaders made IN
that case might, If they had
been understood, have saved all
China from the Reds. But they
were not understood, thus Civ
ing tragic support to the words
of Herr Hegel and the pithier
but more anonymous writer
who agreed with him.
But now. in 1853 we may
surely be wise enough to take
advantage of the lesson of our
Chinese blunders and save
another section of the world
for freedom and the Faith.
The latest word from Hong
Kong tells us that of the 500
Catholic missionaries there in
1916. only 594 remain. The
Church in China is now kept
alive largely by those native
Chinese priests who have es-
capped the terror and by the val
liant catechistS whom they have
trained,

Bishop Frederick Hall, Vicar
Apostolic of Kisumu In British
East Africa, has recently visited
New York. He brought almost
the first eyewitness reports of
the Mau Mau terrorists, whose
murderous campaign against all
whites has been conducted IN
part of Kenya only 10 miles from
his hcme. II is not known, ac-
cording TO His Excellency,
whether the Mau Mau movement
is actively financed by the
Soviets-but it seems more than
likely that ii is.

by the authorities as the leader
of these ritual killers, had just

An attractive feature of the
present proposal is that there
are some 25,000 persons in this
country who were in Lithuania,
Latyia or Estonia at the time of
the Russian grab. Ii has been
said that, literally thousands of
witnesses could be brought for
ward TO give eyewitness ac-
counts of what happened when
Russia incorporated 7 the Bal

be shown dramatically that the
whole Soviet program of pro

worse, the propaganda impact

step toward winning the adyan-

his Mau Mau followers are far
too primitive to read Karl Marx,
they share with him, at least, his
militant blasphemy. The Mau
Mau have taken mission-trained
Africans and taught them to sub
stitute the name Jomo Kenyatta
wherever Jesus Christ would
normally appear in their prayers.
The Mau Mau oath is taken in
blood, 1t is voodooist survival.
And its main tenet is that the
white man must leave Africa.
Who Will Keep Faith Alive
This movement is spreading,
fed on hatred of all foreigners"
the Bishop told me 1T may
prove so strong that the white
missionaries will be ordered out
by their own ecclesiastical su-
periors. Missionary priests and
nuns are prepared for martyr
dom, but they are not permitted
TO invite it unless their deaths
will benefit the Faithful. We
may see-and in the not too dis.
tant future-an exodus of for.
elgn missionaries from my coun.
try as tragic as that of China.
and then who will keep the
Faith alive in Africa?"
The answer is obvious to any,
one who knows the magnificent
story of the Chinese priests and
laity under persecution: when
the white man is expelled, the
native Christian stays to carry
the Cross. He. and only he, is
able TO go underground to
keep the Faith alive by travelling
from village to village and re.
minding the threatened Chris
tians of the Word. But In all
East Africa there are only 272
native priests today!
THE answer is, of course
more priests" Bishop Hall said.
That second answer is the ma
tive catechist. Such men-many
of them converts themselves
sacrifice their bare existence to
sacrifice everything except their
bare existence TO trave and
spread the Faith. And their bare
existence costs $40 a month.
Learn In Time
Il How many converts will such
catechist make in a month";"
| asked. My guess was perhaps
two. What would your guess be-
A good catechist makes nine
converts a MONTH" the Bishop
told me. "Some of them make
many more" !"
BY my arithmetic, that Is a
bargain price in souls: it costs
us little over So to turn a man
or woman away from Mau Mau
terrorism to the tenderness of
Christi
There are about $4,000 such
catechists today. The whole pop
ulation of two and half-miIlion
Catholics and their Faith NAV
largely rest on these few devout
men: if the Mau Mau persecu-
zion spreads and the white men
have to leave.
If We had known in time that
our missionaries would be fore
ed to leave China. we would have
trained far more native priests
and catechists, according 10

Society for the Propagation of
the Faith collects funds for East
Africa and Bishop Hall.

1853 ACREAGE GOALS
SET FOR MONTANA

Acreage goals for 1858 stress in
creased production of feed grains,
hay and grass to permit desirable
production of livestock and live
stock products and to rebuild re-
duced feed grain reserves. Smaller
acreage of wheat is recommended,
but no changes are made in wheat
goals announced earlier, including
0,000-acre goal set for Montana.
Chairman r. J. McKenna of state
agricultural mobilization committee,
points out that voluntary response
by farmers to the goal set for wheat
will reduce the possibility of hav-
ing to use acreage allotments and
marketing quotas later as protec-
ton against SURPRISES and depressed
prices.
Goals announced by McKenna
for Montana are with 1852 acreage
for comparison): Corn - 100000
acres, 100000 acres); oats-525, 900
acres, (547,0 acres); flaxseed-23,-
900 acres, $4,000 acres); dry edible

sorghums-5,0OO acres $4,000 acres;
tame hay, 100000 acres (1,47O,0O0
