Do The British Like Us!

Americans can sympahze with the demand OF
English political figure that American forces
be Withdrawn from his country al once. Surely
real patriot likes TO troops OF a foreign power
camping on the soil of his country IL strikes deep
into the pride which justly has for his own
nation.
However the British political figure spoke of
widespread reyusion in England for the American
forces and for the United States. Granted that the
speaker could be of definite Communist affiatIon,
possibly just pink, his assertion needs nvestiga-
ton. Americans ought to know il there is any such
aversion the part of the people of England; and
they ought to know just quickly as the English
man demands the withdrawal of Americans from
his soil
II anyone should ask why Americans should
know what the true feeling is for them IN England
the answer cannot be long in coming. Have not bill
lions OF dollars been sent TO England? Have not the
very American troops about which the Briton com
plains been sent there to serve as defense of
Europe and of England? Has not this financial and
military help been going TO England for a long time
now And If the result is aversion for America
the II. s. Government ought to know about II and
should let the American people know about IT,
Now this is not a quarrel with the British; II
should be quarrel with those responsible for
letting our aid TO our sister nation be misinter.

FATHER HIGGINS
Ethics of Private Property

and 10 the direct ownership of
many economic units by all the
persons who operate or use them.
Analysis In . Vacuum
Allowing for differences in
Technology and differing shades
of emphasis, we would tentative
ly suggest that Dr.. Muelder's
theory of property has more in
common with the Catholic theory
than he himself is inclined TO
think. This is merely another
way of saying that his under
standing of the Catholic theory
is regrettably inadequate. He
has made this mistake. il seems
TO us, OF attempting to snalyze
the encycllcalS more or less in
vacuum without benefit of Suf-
ficient collateral research. His
photography would give the inn
preston that he has hardly
scratched the surface OF Catho-
lie social teaching, for II does
not include single authoritative
commentary on the general sub
ject of Papal teaching, OF a sin
gle authoritative Catholic trea-
tise on the specific subject of
property.
More extensive research would
have made il apparent to DR..
Muelder that the Catholic theory
of private property is MOI al all
conservative" in the pejorative
sense of the word. and does not
have the effect of keeping the
worker in his place. On the con-
trary, as the late Cardinal Su.
hard of Paris pointedly empha-
sizes in an authoritative pastoral
letter on private property, the
MarxlSt theory of property is
"a weak doctrine" compared to
that of the Catholic Church. THE
same comparison can also be
made between the Catholic the
DRY of property and other non
Marxist varieties OF statism.1

about the necessity of regulat-
ing property for power" in the
interests of the entire commun-
ity.
Not Conservative, Not Medieval
Muelder implies that the Cath
Ollie concept of property is
medieval in its frame of ref
erence, by which he means TO
suggest that IL is unable, if not
unwilling, to meet the challenge
of 20th-century industrial capi-
talism with its tremendous con-
centrations of economic power.
Cardinal Suhard disagrees. His
point of view is anything but
conservative, his frame of ref
erence anything but "mediae-
val"
Whoever" the Cardinal says,
will compare the teaching of
the Church on property with ex-
cesses of modern Capitalism or
with Marxism will be obligated
to conclude that change is nee
essary" He goes on to say that
this is not a matter of changing
a few details: I'VE are speaking
of whole new structure
In the place OF Capitalism

ice of men-and moi OF few
men only but of all men. Materi-
al goods, natural resources and
manufactured articles are made
for all people" !"
Quoting Plus XI and Plus XII,
Suhard advocates a tempering
of the wage contrac. by a part
nerShip contract, especially in
big corporations. and in this con
nection favorably refers TO a new
type of communal property
which. in his opinion. can be rec
onciled with the fundamental
principles of Catholic social
teaching. The pure and simple
wage contract" he says, was
just, but it was free: no one
has the right to impose it on
those who no longer want it.
Let US seek new solutions with
a generous and prudent bold
ness"

Catholicitv I'm Action

Right in the deep South Bishop Vincen s Waters
OF Raleigh, NC, has spoken out forthrightly and
plainly about the teaching OF the Church segre-
cation Of races In a letter to all the parishes of
his diocese he has charged all pastors TO explain
the teaching of the Church on this matter, and 10
tolerate nothing TO the contrary
The Raleigh Ordinary spoke with all em
phasls. Equal rights accorded" he said, ito

tholic church and within the church building itself
everyone is given the privilege TO sit or kneel
wherever he desires and to approach the Sacrament

His Master, who died for of whatever hue OF

how few possessions, all are in one communion il

sion) he is classified as another

power with a tenacity which
would do justice to better
cause.
| think there can be little
doubt that DR.. Salazar does rep
resent, if not the totality of the
Christian ideal, at least the sub
stance of it, He never sought the
position he now holds He has
resigned il more than once. He
was chosen by his peers at
time when he himself was re-
luctant TO leave the halls of
Coimbra University He has
never sought personal advantage
of any sort-financial, social or
otherwise. He is no ambitious
seeker after power, insisting that
greater and greater authority be
placed in his hand, nor has he
ever had to indulge in any of the
practices of the dictatorships-
purges, suppression, ruthless de-
nial of personal and collective
liberty and the like.
Most People Prefer Peace
There is. in this heartfelt trib-
ute TO a great statesman. an odd
mixture of awe and affection.
DR.. Salazar is not man whom
people idolize as though he we're
a pugilist. bull fighter or cinema
star. His self-effacement and ret
icence make anything of that
kind impossible. But there has
been an outburst of what comes
very close to being personal love
in the Portuguese peoples re-
action toward their leader.
The case of Portugal seems TO
demonstrate that most people
prefer peace and order to con-
fusion; that political passions

The issues at hand are tre-

might have had the impression
that pro-communiSt propaganda
was on the wane. People here
who make studies of such things
say TINS rs not the case.
One can recall that in the hey
day OF the communist fronts in
this country. people and organi-
zations who opposed them were
frequently embarrassed, often
frustrated. and sometimes Seri-
ously harmed by the lavish use
of slogans and catch-phrases on
the part of propagandists. Be
cause we don't near such words
as "isolationist" and reaction
airy" nowadays, one might think
this form of propaganda has died
out. Quite the contrary people

''imperialist," etc.
On the day that the Supreme
Court held its extraordinary ses-
sion to pass upon the stay of ex-
ecution Mr.. Justice Douglas had
granted the day before to julius
and Ethel Rosenberg, the con-
yicted atom spies some thou
sands of individuals descended
upon the city to swarm about
the Supreme Court building and
the Capitol in demonstrations
in their behalf. They got on the
telephone, too, and il was said
that he switchboards in the

Observers here, took this TO
mean that this particular pres

few years ago, has not yet been
discarded, and can be expected
TO be brought out and busted
off for future use. There are
real indications that shows of
this sort, and the technique of
showering more or less pre-writ-
ten kilograms and postcards up
on members of Congress, have
much less effect than they used
to. But the Rosenberg demon
stration, observers say. means
that they have not been aban-

Sanity Out OF Reaction
Ii is unfortunate that in so
many places in the world the
passion for independence goes
hand in hand with violence of
rhetoric and defamation that
promises very little for the fu-
ture. Portugal went down that
road once and found that it led
TO disaster. Forty-eight govern
ments tried TO rule the land be-
tween the revolution of 1910 and
the establishment of the Salazar
regime-a record which surpass-
es in sheer instability even the
most spectacular efforts of con-
temporary France. When eco
nomic misery, chronic chaos, So
cial disruption and religious
spostasy had all reached their
natural elimination, Portugal re-
acted. Out of the reaction came

Nations, like individuals, find
it hard TO confess to incapacity.
II is particularly difficult today
TO assume that any people, no
matter how lll-prepared or un-
endowed, is not entirely capable
of running a parliamentary de-
mocracy successfully But it is
high time that the example of
Portugal be recognized as far
more realistic than this starry
eyed millenianism in which we
are indulging.
No Sole Political Pansees
Portugal took the unpopular
road and has followed it ever
since to its very great honor and
happiness. A few other nations
in the world might profit from
this case history and recognize
that constitutions and systems of
government must be adjusted to
political experience and histori-
cal background - that there is
no universal political device ap-
plicable TO all peoples at all
times.

If truce is brought forth in
Korea il will not mean peace,
but will pave the way for what

concludes lin new book en-
titled Religion and Economic
Responsibility has no adequate
doctrine of the communication

only an individualis'ic natural.
right doctrine.
Ii would be difficult TO give
an adequate definition of Dr..
Muelder'S personal theory of
property for his treatment of
the subject is rather unsySte.
matte and therefore cannot be
neatly summarized. Obviously,
however, he is not a socialist
in the accepted sense OF the
word. While he tavors limited
amount of public ownership
(Which is amply provided for,
by the way, in Catholic social
teaching) he does not advocate
naturalization for its own sake
nor does he regard IL as pans-
cea.
Primarily concerned with the
distinction between property for
personal use and what he refers
To as property for power he
particularly emphasizes the ne
eessity of regulating the latter
type of property in the interests
of the general welfare When
this is impossible, he concludes

authoritative Protestant publica-
tion-encouragement should be
given TO the further extension of
