The board deplored the promin-
ence given by the nations press
TO stories of vice, crime and vio-
lence and called upon decent citi-
Zens to support courageous law
enforcement and to fight social
conditions which breed crime.
The statement asserted that on
the international scene sense OF
justice and charity" should die
tate that 1--WE must share with the
peoples of other nations" an appre-
citation OF mutual problems, tech
nical knowledge of way of meet
ing them and the task of assisting
other nations. The board denounc-
ed proposals of birth control as a
means of meeting the problem of
oyer-population in some countries
as "a shocking denial not only Of
the dignity and Sanctity of the hu-
man being" but also lack of
confidence in God and His assist
ance in helping man meet the chal-
lenge."
In the field of immigration, the
boards statement called for "a
just and acceptable substitute" for
the national origins formula in the
present immigration laws, and also
advocated abolition of the practice
of "mortgaging" future quotas, in
such cases as admitting displaced
persons and refugees from com
mUnlst persecution.
