field of foreign Policy. More specl-
ficaIIy, their opposition to the so
called Marshall Plan, which the
CI0 as a national organization
was vigorously supporting, was
considered to be prima facle
evidence that they were taking
orders from Moscow.
Appiauded in '49
The decision to withdraw the
charters of these organizations
and expel them from the parent
federation was widely applauded
in 1949 as an important contrl-
button to the anti-communist
eounteroffensive of the Western
powers. On the other hand. If the
CIO-in the interest of keeping
peace within its own rankS-had
refused at that time to stand up
and fight for the Marshall Plan,
it would have been severely crltl-
cized and the personal loyalty
of its policy-making officials
might well have been called into
question.
In our opinion, this would
have been a iustifiable reaction.
For the American public had a
right to expect the Cf0 to sup
port the Marshall Plan against
communist opposition, even at
the cost of depicting its own
ranks TO the tune of several hun.

ways sauce for the gander. Many
holier than thou anti commun-
lists, who even to this day are un-
willing TO give the CI0 a clean
bill of health, are now openly
saying with impunity that the
Marshall Plan was a thoroughly
disastrous policy which was fav-
ored, if not actually initiated, by
the communists.
Isolafionism In The Raw
This is part of a larger thesis
which says that ''the greater
threat to America is from within;
that the external threat is over
emphasized, and has been prop
erly built up TO justify level of
spending and taxation which will
ultimately destroy our economy
and society"
The above statement, which Is
primitive isolationism In the
raw, is quoted verbatim from the
jacket of a new book by Chesly
Manly of the Chicago Tribune,
who is important principally as
representative sym bo and
spokesman of the new national
ism.
a Different Standard
1t would be the height of abb
surdity and injustice to
question the loyalty of
Mr.. Manly or the influential
group which he represents. They
are loyal Americans, all of them.
They are very fortunate, how
ever, that they are being judged
by a different standard from the
one which they themselves and
many other professional anti-com-
munists customarily apply to the
"liberals" and the so-called egg
heads"
Heaven help the liberal" who
would dare to suggest, at this
late date, that the external
threat of communist aggression
is "over-emphasized." seriously
doubt that he could qualify for
employment with the federal
government. Mr.. Manly, on the
other hand, would undoubtedly
be cleared by the FBI without
the slightest bit of trouble.
Very confusing, isn't it?

@. Can a Catholic toho is
conuert be buried in a Protestant
cemetery? There is family LOT
there.
A. While Catholics should con-
slider it an honor and a privilege
to be buried in consecrated
ground there are times and cir
cumstances which allow of excep-
tions. The Synod Fifth of the
Diocese of Columbus states that
Catholics may not be buried in
public or common cemeteries
(Which is what you mean by
Protestant cemetery, / presumel.
II adds that in the case of the
burial of a convert whose family
owns a lot in such q cemetery an
exception can be made. In all
doubts about such matters the
pastor, who will consult the
Bishop if necessary, should be
consulted.
@. Why aUdS Clare Booth Luce
permitted to TemGrTy after being
divorced? Is it easier for an in
fluential person 10 haze a mar
rage dnHuIled2
A. No one remarrieS with the
approval of the Catholic Church
unless the first spouse is dead
or there is some definite deci-
sion based on solid evidence
that the first marriage was in
valid. For details on any decision
involving the declaration of in
validity or in any diSsolving a
past marriage it would be neces-
sary to consult the Diocesan Tri-
bunal which made the decision.
The Catholic Church grants such
decisions solely on the evidence,
but famous people whose cases
are dismissed do not receive the
same publicity as those who re-
marry after favorable decision.
There are many favorable deci-
sions, based solely on the evi-
dence, for people who can make
no offering even for the expenses
of the court. They seldom re-
ceive publicity. Mrs. Clare Booth
Luce is no exception. Only if the
EVIDENCE indicated that there
was no obstacle TO a marriage
after her entry into the Church
would such a "remarriage" be
permitted. 1t is idle TO speculate
about particular cases.

qress held IN the United States

A. National EuchariStic Con-

toned in the article to which
YOU refer. The answer did state
that the last INTERNATIONAL
Eucharistic Congress in the Unit
ed States was held in Chicago in
1926, and that is correct. There

falls otherwise dUoiddble?
A. Since the schools (public
schools) generally feel that
moral and religious teaching is
outside their province il seems
they should not attempt such
teaching. To teach mere physi-
cal facts about sex to young
people at an impressionable age
is as likely to cause sin and UNI
happiness as is the lack of more
complete information. Pope Plus
XL (Chritian Educa alton of
Youth, 1929 stated that it is a
grave error to imagine that
purely natural means can pro-
tect youth against the dangers
of sensuality. He encourages,
as the Church always has, proper
private intruction by those who
hold from God the commission
to teach and have the grace
of state" Catholics can obtain
pamphlets for their own guild
ance in such instruction and for
the children themselves. The
Christopher movem ent has
brought our records to guide
parents, but all these means in-
corporate the Christian respect
for the whole person, not over
emphasizing the mere physical
facts.
Q. What good does sending
person to hell (by e1communi-
cdtion) do the Catholic Church?
1t scarcely seems the Christian
tody.
A. The Catholic Church does
not send person to hell. Ex-
communication means cutting a
person off from the privileges
of full Catholic living because
of some particularly vicious or
public sin. 1t aims to warn and
protect others from following
sinful example and also to con-
vert the communicated person,
as did ST. Paul's "let him be
anath a" Galatians 1:6).
Christ said, IF a man does not
live on in me he can only be like

fire, to burn there John 1850

Q. Is Leonard a saints name,
A. He was a Frankish lord, fol-
lower of Clovis, who was baptized
with him at Rheims in 496. One
of his apostolic works after re-
tirement from the army for ded-
ication of his life to God was the
visitation of men in prison. He is
patron of prisoners. His feast day
is November 9th.

Our ambassador to Italy,
Mrs. Claire Boothe Luce,
warned Washington that I'M
less the pledge given on Oc-

stability of the country would
be seriously impaired. She
came to Washington last
month for consultation and
expressed herself strongly
along the same lines to Presi-
dent Eisenhower, Secretary
Dulles and the National Secur-
ity Council. She went as far
as to forecast that as a result

deeper than the return of Tri-
este. They are social and eco
nomic. The Importance of the
Western powers failure to keep
their pledge lies in the fact
that it gives the Communists
an unhoped-for propaganda
argument which runs some
thing like this: Whenever
the Kremlin promises it's
friends something it has the
means and the will to enforce
that promise. The allies are
not in a similar position. It
was enough for Tito to frown
on their promise to give back
Trieste and they ran for
cover"

and the so-called liberals"
who are sponsoring it are
plainly violating the basic
principle of fairness in their
recommendation.
1t was the late President
Roosevelt-the hero of the
liberals "-who first pro-
claimed the doctrine of
thought control in respect to
appointees for Government
boards and commissions. In
1888. Mr.. Roosevelt wrote a
letter removing William E.
Humphrey from the Federal
Trade Commission because, as
MI. Roosevelt expressed it, he
was sure that Mr.. Humphreys
decisions would not go along
with" the mind of the Presi-
dent.
This case was carried to the
Supreme Court on a claim for
back salary. and, by a unan-
imous decision. the court
held in May. 1885, that Mr..
Humphrey was a member of
a "quasi-judicial" commission
and therefore could not be re-
moved for any such reason.
The National Labor Rela-
tions Board is "quasi-judi-
cial" commission. In selecting
members for it, as is the case
with judges on a court. it is
a serious thing to say that a
man cannot be impartial after
he takes the oath to perform
judicial duties.

Failure Of the West to Keep Its Promises to Return

Soviet Foreign Minister v.
M. Molotov is engaged at Ber-
lin in the biggest and most i'm
portant propaganda campaign
in which the U. S. S. r. has
ever INDUCED.
Molotov wants to demon
strate to the satellites in
Europe and Asia as we'll as to
the countries where Commu-
nism is making important
strides that their hopes for the
future should be pinned to the
U. S. S. r. and not to the West
ern powers.
Although the allies united
front has held firmly against
the assaults of the Kremlin
spokesman, we may not have
seen the end of Molotov's game.
1t is in these circumstances
that Alcide de Gasperi, the for
mer Prime Minister of Italy
who for eight years kept the
Italian ship of state on an
even keel. has spoken out.
In an article published in the
Rome magazine La Discus
stone" he reproved the ten
denotes in the Western nations
to regard his country as ready
and willing to enter the Red
orbit.
De Gasperi points out that
after the last election Italian
public opinion is confused by
the disagreements between the
democratic parties. But" he
added, that is not confined to
Italy alone"
The main reason for this
recent confusion in Italy is the
"zig-zag policy the allies are
following on Trieste" Accord
ing to De Gasperi and his now
