Battlecries and slogans are wonderful things
They infectious and inyigorating Whole periods
of history, great movements of the past are often
recalled today solely by few telling words
phrase that epomize the characteristics of bygone
causes.
These pat phrases, though, often do far more
than serve merely as names. They become in their
frequent and widespread use the first line of de-
fense of the proponents of the causes which gave
birth to them. They taken by these people to be
explanatory talismen, magic phrases that explain
away all defects and destroy all opposition.
Such battlecry is that woefully overworked
slogan of good old PoAUers: Separation of Church
and Statel" Scratch one of these boys with any
needle" and they automatically, phonographlike
sing OUT Separation Of Church and State!"
They use this phrase much that all evidence
points to 1t being almost innate. Their children
probably use II excuse for being late for
school for sassing the Old Man,
And so it is that we welcome, only because it will
break the monotony, q new phrase patented,
all embracing explanation that predict will be
come this year as eyer.present and obnoxious
Separation OF Church and Stae!"
In fact, this phrase may even outstrip the older
refrain for low-spot the hiss parade because it
will be used by the boys with a bunch of letters
behind their names and who wear pince-nez glasses
the end Of long satin leash. The phrase is
Academic Freedom For the fullest effect, when
using il, the voice should be pitched high and the
nearest table dealt resounding blow.
This phrase is used ndiscriminaely by those
whose fitness to teach the youth Of the country
has been called into question. They use it both
to explain and defend their action in the classroom
Towards the end OF last years school terms we
we're given the opportunity Of seeing just how the
battle-cry would be used. Even il person was
shown to be as Red as they come, the thousands of
misguided would scream Academic Freedom!"

It does no such thing Academic Freedom taken

institution to carry out its function Of imparting
knowledge, truth. 1t did even under the Wild
est photographer, the freedom IL teach error
disguised the truth.
No one, by virtue OF the fact that he is profes-
sor, has the right under academic freedom OF fois-
ing his personal erroneous beliefs on the unsus-
pecting student.
Teaching Communism with an explanation of its
basicay erroneous and diabolical philosophy is one
thing Teaching under the guise of truth is quite
another.
No one csvis at the idea OF teaching the truth
about Communism II should be and is being done

WASHINCTON LETTER
Sounding Board Needed

WASHINGTON - 1t is a tru-
ism that the statesmen respon-
sible for the policies Of free
countries need the support Of
public opinion in order TO give
these policies validity and force.
The main problem is TO pro-
vide effective methods for the
concrete expression of this pub
Tic opinion. Unless it is heard,
public opinion is like violin
without strings or like a book
whose pages have not been cut.
A concrete example IN point
is offered by such an immense
ly important issue as that pre-
sented by the question whether
Red China should be admitted 10
the United Nations.
The United States Government
has clearly expressed its opposl-
tion TO such step Its Spokes-
men have presented cogent rea-
sons against the admission of
country that boasts of being
communist totalitarian state,
that has proved itself an aggres-
sor, and has violated the most
elemental laws of war.
Nevertheless, other countries
allies of the United States
are apparently willing TO close
their eyes to what are indisput-

able facts. For reasons of ex-
pediency, they seem prepared to
permit an open violation of the
United Nations charter and, in
effect, let Red China shoot her
way to membership.
There can be no doubt that the
basic instincts of the American
people revolt against any such
perversion OF the principles the
United Nations stands for. They
support the Government in its
opposition 10 Red China's adj
mission. But this instructive sup
port needs TO be expressed in
such a way that it becomes aud
ible everywhere particularly in
those countries where it is still
believed possible TO maneuver
the United States into a relaxa-
tion of its opposition.
Fortunately, such an opportun-
ity for expressing the eonVle-
tions of the American people
has now been provided. Under
the leadership of distinguished
citizens, Including former Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover, Represen-
tatives Walter II. Judd and John
w. Mccormack, Senators John J.
Sparkman and II. Alexander
Smith, a nationwide movement
is under way to obtain sigma
lures 10 petition to President

Eisenhower, voicing opposition
to ''the admission of the so-called
Chinese Peoples Republic to the
United Nations"
The petition to President Els
enhower, listing eight reasons,
closes as follows: The under
signed Americans respectfully
request the President of the
United States to defend the free
dom and decency of the Free
World by continuing to firmly
oppose the admission of the
present so-called Chinese Peo-
pies Republic TO the United Ma
tions.
They express the wish that
their petition be communicated
10 the United Nations and the
hope that their appeal for peace
and freedom will be heard and
supported by all freedom-loving
peoples over the world"
In recent years, world COM
munism, through its spurious
Stockholm peace appeal" has
succeeded in winning an import
ant propaganda victory. Now
the American people, and with
them the whole free world, have
an opportunity to win resound-
ing victory for their cause by
demonstrating the force of gen.
uine and free public opinion.

like the beginning of faint but welcome breeze.
True 1t may not be much than an almost inn
percepuble movement like air that barely rustles

relief to thousands.
Such indication might be taken from news
story that came out of Switzerland this week A
book published there called la Confession. calls
for the "Renroduetion" Of the practice of auricular
confession in the Reformed or Presbyterian
churches
The author OF this new book is Max Thurisn

Sacrament The book is published By the we'll
known Protestant firm Of Delachaux and NESTLE of
Neuchatcl and includes preface by Pastor Marc
Boegner, president Of the Protestant Federation of
France.
Professor jacques Couroisier, dean of the Prot
estant Theological Faculty of the University of Ge
neya, supports the books arguments and said that

the early Reformers denied adding that the Protest

This discussion Of the restoration of confession
IN Calyanlstic elreles-Geneya being the headquar-

earlier interest In the same subject among German
Luthersns which has led in recent years to a small
but growing OF the confessional in Lutheran
quarters.
The fact that If is being started in this instance
By Protestant monastic group recalls also that
this mirrors the first steps taken by other such
groups IN their long walk back Home.
Having severed the unbroken chain Of priesthood
upon which the validity OF this Sacrament depends
we know that 4s movement in itself this restora-

But that's just where we noticed the beginnings

Moscow declares that in every
country the Communists must
diligently prepare for the new
academic year in the Party edu-
cation network" That this educa-
ton is to assure the complete
obedience of Comm mmuniSts
throughout the world TO the
Communist Party of the Soviet
Union is frankly stated.
The difficulty was, and still is,
that there is no iUideSpread
couuter-educdtjon to inform cont
mimitg leaders aud the Ameri-
can nation as q iChole of 1Chat
the Communist line actually is.
Had there been such education,
and had certain American lead
ers profited by il, the neutral

been constituted as il is. This
column has warned that Red
CzechoSlovakia and Red Poland
as 'neutralS" meant a Soviet
ruled commission. Both Sweden

ognizing Red China, have prov

from his work "GlimpseS of

No Mere Gesture
No one fully acquainted with
Soviet Communism, its determi-

FATHER HIGGINS
A Propaganda Mill?

There are two non-communist
labor federations IN France at
the present time, one Socialist
Force Ouvriere) and the other
Christian (CFTC). The latter is
just as large and just as influen-
tial as the former-even more
so. in the expert opinion of many
American labor representatives,
Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
One would therefore expect an
official ICFTU publication on the
French labor movement to give
approximately the same amount
of space to each organization. ln-
stead of that, we find that the
CFTC, the Christian Federation,
is politely taken care of in a
couple of pages, whereas the
rest of the book is a very en-
thusiastic build-up for Force
0uvriere, the Socialist fedora
tion.
Showdown Called For
The author of this first volume
in the proposed series of ICFTU
monographs, Georges Vidalenc,
is entitled to his own opinion
about the relative importance of
Force Ouvriere on the one hand
and CFTC on the other. AS an
individual partisan of Force
Ouvriere, he is free to write as
he pleases. The ICFTU, however,
was never intended TO be a prop
aganda mill for Socialist unions,
much less a sounding board for
Socialist prejudices in the field
OF religion. II Mr.. Vidalenc
wants to say, for example, that
ecclesiastical authorities 'ars
always inclined TO be conserva-
tive in outlook" let him say so
till the cows come home-but
not under the official sponsor
ship of iCFTU.
The AFL and CIO, two of
ICFTU's ngest affiliates,
would be well advised, in our
opinion, TO call for a definite
showdown with the 1CFTU staff
on this important matter. Soon
er or later it must be brought
home TO Mr.. 0ldenbroek and his
Socialist friends at the Brussels
headquarters that the ICFTU is
not the personal property of the
Socialist Party. The sooner, the
better-for the good of ICFTU-
itself and for the cause of inter-
national lahor cooperation.

bership TO the Christian unions.
The Christian unions were de-
clared to be ineligible for mem
bership unless they would agree,
in effect, TO abolish their own
international organization within
a period of two years. This they
very properly refused to do.
Since that time the predomi-
nantly socialist staff of the
ICFTU, delighted beyond meas
ure that the Christian unions
are still on the outside looking
in, has pursued q policy of ignor-
ing their existence insofar as
possible.
Picture None Too Clear
This policy was recently car
ried to ridiculous lengths in an
official lCFTU monograph on
the trade union movement in
France, the first in a series of
ICFTU publications on the vari-
GUS national trade union move
mentS. The announced purpose
of this series is ito give as clear
a picture as possible of the
birth, development, and struc-
ture of the national trade union
movement, and to indicate the
problems facing the trade un-
ions there at the present time.
The first volume in the series
C''The French Trade Union Move
men Past and Present" by Georg-
eS Nidalenc) is very interest
ing book in many respects. But
it certainly doesn't provide as
clear a picture as possible" of
the labor movement in contem-
porary France. On the contrary,
it provides q completely distort-
ed picture - at the expense of
the Christian unions.

longer such education is delayed,

negotiations" is snapped up in
certain leading political circles
in this country. we are tempted
to exclaim, When will we ever
learn?"
Conferences of this character
can lead only to one of two re-
suits: A new surrender by the
United States TO Soviet Russia,
such as took place at Yalta and
PotSdam and in the Korean
truce, or a breaking up of the
conference by the Kremhn. In
the latter case. Moscow will be
prepared in advance to accuse
the United States OF having made
a failure of the conference. The
record of our relations with the
Kremlin has been one of eontin-
ual broken promises by the die
tatorship, starting with the agree
ment not TO engage in subversion
in the United States upon recog-
milton IN 1888.
No good can come from any

where she lived . life of extra
ordinary holiness until her
death.
o. What are the Rogation
Days?
A. They are days of special
petition for favorable weather
for the crops and for the remis-
sion of our sins. They occur on
the Monday, Tuesday and We'd
neSday before Ascension Thurs
day MAY IL, II, 13 this year,.
They were introduced by Bishop
Mamertus at Vienne In 469 when
a great plague was destroying
his people.
@. Who are mendlcant frtdrS?
Where did they get the name.
A. Mendicant comes from the
Latin word mendicare, meaning
TO beg. Friar comes from the
Latin word for brother, so the
mendicant friars are begging
brothers. The great period for
this movement was in the early
thirteenth century with the
founding of the FranciScans by
st. Francis of Assist and the
Dominicans by st. Dominic. The
Catholic Encyclopedia lists the
CarmeliteS and the Hermits OF
st. Augustine as mendicant or
derS too.
@. A friend of naane says that
priests should not dress differ
emily than other men. Is there
any Scripture te1t for it?
A. Does this friend apply his
principle to policemen, soldiers
and others who dress differently
than other men? While the par.
ticular mode of dress for the
clergy is not essential and may
vary with the times and the
country it is important for the
priest to be as a light before
men. The Church to which Christ
gave authority to teach has the
right TO decide what particular
regulations should govern the
life of her priests in their min
istry. For every high priest TAX

A. The ciborium is q vessel
which contains the small Hosts
used for the Communion Of the
faithful. The chalice is generally
smaller and does not have a COW

of the Precious Blood and the
priest alone receives Communion

A. If the object of the bet is

and the two parties are free to

been great evils arising from ir-
responsible betting throughout
history, but the principle re-
mains that it can be a contract

Q. Do Catholics still haze 10
believe IN the deU1l?
A. Catholics still believe that
the Bible is the Word of God
and that its teachings are true
and do not change with fashions
in belief. The Catholic Church,
established by Christ, teaches in
His Name with his guarantee.
The Bible and the Catholic
Church agree in teaching that
the devil STILL exists and so
Catholics must believe that he
does. In the Old Testament there
are numerous references to the
devil (e.g. at the time of Adams
fall, in the book of Job, and in
the life of SAUL In the New Tes-
lament there are many more
Matthew Al; Luke 1918; John
1911, for exampIe). In st. Luke's
Gospel (22:31l We have Christ's
warning that he will continue to
attack men.
@. How can a human being
be the mother of God? Do not
Catholics place Mary above
Jesus?
A. All Christians accept the
evident fact that Mary is the
mother of Jesus Christ. We
know that son may rise to emf
nence te.g. royalty above his
humble mother, but she is still
his mother. Christ was one per
son. That one person, and no ex-
ample can be parallel, had two
natures. HE was God and man.
Mary was HIS mother. She was
not just the mother of His body,
of half of Him. 1t does not imply
at all that she is superior, but
that she stands in the intimate
place of a mother to Christ, Who
is God.
Q. Where is Molokdi, Damien

A. 1t is an island of the north

ed Sandwich Islands, now the

in size and population of the
eight large islands. Catholic En-

on the Peninsula, a projection
of land on the northern part of
the island, and the expanded ia
cilities are still there.
Q. Are there religious orders
aOheTe middle aged 400 m 2 n
(Stngte or Uido1Ded) may enter?
A. There are definite restric-
tions in regard to age in most
religious communities, and not a
few do not accept women previ-
ously married. The Visitation
Nuns, founded in France in 1910,
does sometimes admit older cam
didateS. For information anyone
interested might write 10 their

nation as to other religious com
munities which accept older can

A. Cath herine Tekakwitha

name. She was an Indian girl of
the Mohawk tribe, born at

instructions from Jesuit mission
aries in 1867. After she was bap-
tized she went to the Christian
