totallty of nationalism and pa
trTotisn1 and Tito emergeS as very
much the genius of this struggle.
There are long descriptions of
the unwiilingness of the Soviets
tc provide aid and one gets
throughout the volume Zone
wonders how much in retrospect)
the impression that Tito and his
Partisans suspected the good
faith of the Soviet Union long
before the devastating event of
1948.
How much of this is doctored
history to prove q point is inn
possible to say. The accounts of
the Yugoslav delegate in Mos
ccw for various economic and
Cominform meetings give rise to
detailed reproductions of con.
versations in the most intimate
Soviet circles. If these conver-
sations are accurate, Stain and
his collaborators appear as
fairly stupid lot, guided by the
nsrrowest vision in policy.
Three Contributing Factors
Serbian nationalism, the fact
that Yugoslavia won its liber-
alton unaided by the Red army,
and refusal to accept the dictates
of the USSR in economics seem to
be the three factors that con-
tributed to the tension of i948
and the final break between the
two communist countries.
That Yugoslavia was ill-treated
by the USSR seems to admit of
no doubt. But any illusions that
the West may have about the
evolution" of Tito and his re-
gime can be dispelled at once in
the careful reading of this book.
There is never one single refer
ence to indicate that Tito has
moved in the direction of what

Defender Of The Filth
Here we have in = few words
the position Tito has taken. He is
the defender of the purest Marx
ism and Stain is the hereto. In
supporting Tito, we are support
ing an even more formidable
form of Marxism than that pro-
fessed in the USSR.
Sulzberger, in reviewing the
book in The New York Times,
proclaims Tito as one of the
worlds great. II rs to be noted
that we are again going through
that absurd process of building
up an ally into something he
very definitely isn't. In reading

much 10 overcome these diff
culties.
For example, it is said, the
administrators from the two
types of schools could easily and
profitably exchange plans for flu
ture school construction, thereby
insurlng-as far as such things
can be-that a school will be
placed where it is needed and
will be used to the fullest prac-
tical extent for some time yet.
Then, too. it is said some help

at over the pupils dropped from
the private schools who must be
taken into the public schools. It
is suggested that, in at least
some of the cases, the pupil
might be dropped very early in

conclusion, to keep confusion to

AS for the charge of social
isolation. ii is declared that the
public and private school admin
istrators could agree upon pro
grams of extra-curricular activi-
ties in which the pupils of the
public and private schools can
meet. The tendency to sssoci-
ate with one group and not an
other is not altogether, or even
principally, attributable to the
fact that children attend differ
ent schools. However, TO the ex-
tent that it is, many believe that
1t can be overcome by athletic,
social and other programs organ
lied for after-school hours in
which pupils of all schools could

Geological treatment for mental
disorders. In The Nature and
Treatment of Mental Disorders"
by Dom Thomas Werner Moore
it is pointed out that there are
varities of mental disorders from
the mild behavior patterns TO
"pSychoses" (insanity). For
matters of conscience and minor
mental problems prayer and COM
sulation with a priest in con. .
fesSion should be sufficient. For
more serious disturbances CONF

suited. He will be in a position to
recommend psychiatrist if the
difficulty is not largely physical.
@. Hot0 guilty is one tDho
tells dirty jokes or one t0ho
laughs at them?
A. The telling of stories
which are definitely and deli
berately impure is a serious sin.
The gravity of the sin increases
with the number of people pre-
sent and the danger of inducing
any of them to sin. If the story
is of such a kind as to provoke
lustful reactions it certainly is
a mortal sin in any company.
Some so-called dirty jokes are
more vulgar than impure or have
clearly the effect of inducing
laughter primarily. In groups of
adults where the intellectual
point will clearly be predomi-
nant such stories may be slight
sins or no sins at all. Passive
material cooperation may be
without guilt even in objection
able stories if the occasion is
practically unavoidable e. z.
stories told at work. Active
formal cooperation would be seri-
ously wrong in the same degree
as telling of them. Christian puri-
ty would exclude all such jokes.
Q. Is there a st. Frances?
A. ST. Frances of Rome, who
died in 1896, was a married wo-
man and coined the axiom: "A
wife is bound to leave her de-
votions at the Altar and to find
God in her household work"
After her husbands death she
devoted her life to care for the
poor and to prayer. She was
foundress of the Institute of the
0blates and was canonized in
1903. Her feast day is March
9th.

proposed to give the life and
works of Tito through long con-
versations and soliloquies IN
which the Yugoslav dictator ex-
presses himself on his youth,
ideas. career as militant com.
munist, travels and accession to
power. Obviously, it is quite i'm
possible to control the authentic
ity of these recollections. We
must accept Dedijer's word that
Tito said what he is considered
as saying, and that the events
described are true. There is
nothing whatever in the way of
external evidence regarding
Tito.
SinsulsrIy ons-khinded
What impression does the
book leave? Tito appears to us as
a singularly one-minded commun.
ist agitator, whose whole life
runs in the now familiar chan
rel of conspirstor, agitator and
militant leader. For years his
activity is devoted to carrying
or the work of the underground
party, to travel back and forth
between Vienna and Croatia in
clandestine fashion, and for sew
eral periods of time to residence
in Russia. One does not get any
impression of great intellectual
originality. On the contrary
Tito seems to be as narrow and
conventional as most Msrxists.
His ideas rarely exceed the exig-
encies of the party line or the
orthodox Marxist-Leninist liter
ature which was his favorite
reading matter.
The story of the Partisan
struggle during the late war is
presented, of course. in totally
one-sided manner. Milhailovlc is

suggestion that Great Britain he
asked to withdraw recognition of
that regime. But this will tend
tn die down under comments and
columns limiting at a treason

tung.
In this matter, as in all other
phases of Communist work, We
have to return to the nature of
Soviet Communism in order to
demonstrate that colonial liber-
alton for the Chinese or any 9th

INQUIRY CORNER

@. Is not despair the logical
dns,0eY vhen person has com
mttted many and great sins and
everything seems to 90 tUrong?
Why is suicide so tUrong since
it's your o1Un life you take?
A. st. Augustine says that
he who despairs of Gods mercy,
dishonors God as though he did
not believe in His existence. St
Jerome adds that the sin of
Judas in despairing was greater
than his sin of betraying Christ
Despair is logical for the atheist
when everything goes wrong,
since he believes only in this
life. 1t is ridiculous for the
Christian. Since we believe in
eternal life and the highest hap
piness with God in heaven if we
die in the state of grace we must
consider all our trials slight. Re-
garding our sins we know that
there is no limit to Gods for
giveness provided we are truly
sorry. The Bible (e. G. st. Mary
Magdalene. ST. Paul and the thief
on the cross) and Christian his
tory (e. g. St Augustine, st.
John of God. st. Camillus) give
instances of Gods mercy to sin
ners. Life is gift of God and
we are directly forbidden by the
Fifth Commandment to take up
on ourselves destruction of this
inestimable gift.
Q. | picked up O book recent

A. Since this is perhaps more
a question of history than of
religion it might be stated here
only that the Eighth Command
ment can be involved inh such
statements. In justice we owe to
every man respect for his good
name and irresponsible state
ments are immoral. There are
many difficulties in interpreting
controversial public figures and
unfavorable judgements should
be made only after very careful
study. Judge not, that you may
not be Judged" Matthew 7:D
In regard to religion and govern
ment Wilson said: There is
nothing that gives such pith to
