Then Yankee players closed in
on Courtney, who just the inning
before had the ball knocked out

who slid home for the potential
winning run. Courtney's glasses
were knocked off on the play at
the plate.
Courtney, after the game. told

d monstr ations. What good
would it be for the private
schools TO exist, if those who
would be their pupils are requir-
ed to attend public schools?
Perhaps Professor Hook meant
something else. Maybe by char
acterizing the ''other" (private)
schools as supplementary" he
meant that pupils could attend
them, maybe 10 per cent of the
time.
II has been urged by another
prominent authority of the day
that private school pupils be re-
quired to attend public school
for at least half of each day.
Another has argued that indi-
vidual rights must be assayed in
the light of democratic unity,
and that sometimes the former
must give way TO the latter. That
is not TO say that individual
rights must sometimes give way
for the preservation of the de-
moeracy, as for example in time
of war. II is rather to say some
times individual rights must give
way SO that everyone will think
and act alike.
II is possible to put in great
deal of time analyzing the slo-
gans and catchphrases one hears
in such variety However, in
these days, il is time we'll spent.

WASHINCTON LETTER
Danger From Within

WASHINGTON - Thought
control" is supposed to be to-
talitarian device, but 1t could
come to the United States from
different, and unexpected
source.
Most of those who are warn
ing against thought control to-
day seem to point TO the threat
OF censorship, licensing and SIM
liar bureaucratic maneuvers. But
thought control" could come
more quickly, more permanently
through the establishment of a
single, monolithic school system.
And that is what is advocated
by some people who probably
would be classified as liberals.
Let no one think there is not
sentiment, and in some influen-
tlal places, for the abolition, or
serious hobbling, of private-in-
cludIng religious schools. If
these were done away with,
there would be only one school
system in the country-the pub
lie schools. And since the pro-
ponentS of the one school system
make their appeal on the basis
of national unity, there is a
very good chance, there would
be but one curriculum.
The assertion by DR.. James
Bryant Conant, former President
of Harvard University, that 1.-The

ty,' was an eye opener to many.
But now we know that there are
others who go DR.. Conant one
better.
In reviewing Dr.. Conant's book
which contains the above state

ophy at New York University,

intelligent manner, from being
permitted in the education of
American youth. Otherwise, they
would not defend so staunchly
those who stand for dialectical
materlalism or an allied world
outlook, while striking blows at
those schools which give a true
understanding of Gods presence.
No Remnants Wanted
Such views fit in so neatly
with what the Communists stand
for, and with what the Kremlin's
agents are doing by force in the
countries under satellite regimes,
that the advantage gained for
Stalinism is not lost on The
Daily Worker. Only a short time
ago there was published by the
National Committee for a Free
Europe study on what was be-
ing done to the youth of captive
Hungary: Blueprint for a Red
Generation. From this we learn
-as we knew we would-that
''the teaching of Marxism-Lenin-
ism" has been introduced into
all Hungarian high schools and
colleges. But the Communist
Party demands more: the COM
piete control of the child'S mind
from the kindergarten on. Not
only is the Stalinite regime in
Sisting upon the teaching of ma
terialism as a central point in
education, II is conducting
search by force for any rem
nants OF religious education.
The child in Hungary, as in all
other Soviet-dominated lands, has
been made prisoner of the
state, child of the Soviet die
tatorship. The foundation stone
for this enslavement has been
the enforced introduction of ma
terialiStic teaching in the schools.
II the United States is to have
an oncoming generation which
is to grow up actually free, ii
will have to remove subversives
from the faculties of colleges
and from other teaching bodies.
1t will also have tn encourage,
rather than discourage, that ed
ucation of the child which is
based on the intelligent recogni.
tion of God.

United States diplomatic mis-
sion to the Quirinal can indulge
in some underhanded and mar
giral operations vis-a-vis the
Vatican. Obviously. one of the
most incomprehensible attitudes
of our day is how anyone with
the slightest knowledge of dip
lomatic practice could assume
for a moment that Mrs. Luce
would have any relations at all
with the Holy See.
Among the many editorials
and articles along this line is
one that appeared recently in
the Norwegian paper, Aftenpost-
en-. Entitled Non poSS1mitS, it
is an explanation of why the Vat
ican could not possibly accept
any casual arrangement of the
sort about which so many unin-
formed people have been pro-
testing in the United States.
Cordial Appraisal
The Scandinavian presses
peciaily conservative papers such
as the one just mentioned
have been publishing consider
able number of items, and COM
mentaries quite flattering to the
Catholic Church and its role in
the world. The Consistory brought
literal spate of comment. Now
the problem of diplomatic rep
resentation at the Holy See leads
to some reflections which would
seem to indicate that the custo-
mary stiffness of the Lutheran
atmosphere in Norway has not
been sufficient to prevent a fair
lv warm and cordial appraisal of
the situation.
After disposing of the back
ground regarding the appoint
ment of Mrs. Luce and pointing
out that the agitation about in
direct Vatican representation is
nonsense, the Norwegian paper
takes up the issue of formal dip
lcmatic representation between
the United States and the Holy
See:
"0n October 20, 1851, Mark
Clark was named as ambassador
to the Holy See. A few days later
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1953-04-03
RICHARD PATTEE
Non POssun1us

President Truman was forced to
withdraw the appointment. He
had run into the violent opposi-
tion of the puritanical groups in
the country. For them anything
that smacks of 'popery' is abom-
Unable, and they want no part
OF any kind of recognition of
the Vatican" 1t is curious that
the Norwegian paper should
speak of the opposition as COM
ing from ''puritanical" sources,
and as motivated largely by a
traditional hatred of ''popery."
Realistic and Sensible
With rare understanding for the
situation, Aftenposten opines
that the whole thing is somewhat
difficult to understand "in view
of the extraordinary import
ance Of the Catholics in the Unit
ed States, where there are four
cardinals" This idea is develop
ed along the line that a country
possessing such q large and un-
questionably important religious
minority should think, to some
extent at least, in terms of what
that minority thinks and should
take into account its interests
and views. To say the least, this
is fairly sound doctrine. And
coming from such an unsuspect-
ed source as Scandinavian Sec
ular paper, it strikes one as
amazingly realistic and sensible
in the light of the unfortunate
agitation the whole problem has
provoked within the United
States.
From time to time this lead
ing Oslo daily, as well as others
of like Importance. has stressed
the fact that the Holy See rep
resents such a significant spir-
itual and moral force in the
world today that it is senseless
to refuse to deal with the Vati-
can. 1t confirms my own impress
sion from recent contact with
Scandinavia that there is a tend
ency to abandon much of the po-
sition of traditional hostility to
everything Catholic and to see
the role of the Church in q some
what different light.
Significant Contrast
The ability to appraise the po-
sition of the Holy See as e moral
influence springs perhaps in part
from the status. of Lutheranism
in those countries as the state
religion. People are quite condi-
toned to the Church-their own
in this case-as a factor in po-
litical life, as speaking out on
matters not strictly dogmatic or
doctrinsl. This contrasts. of
course, with the Protestant
world in which non-conformism
is the rule and where anything
like a political angle on the
part of a religious authority Is
anathema.
