But there have been people in

Mr.. Smyth, who should know
a good deal more about it than

American Unions" in the June
issue of The American Economic
Review. According TO Mr.. Bern
stein, Fortunes dismal analysis,
apparently widely held. has only
surface FEASIBILITY The record
will show, he insists. that the
labor movement has been grow
ing steadily since 1916. Further
more. he concludes, there is rea-
son to believe that unionism will
continue TO expand in the future.
Our own opinion is that Mr..
Bernstein has the better of the
argument. Nevertheless degree
of pesSlmism about the future
rate OF growth of American un-
ionism is admittedly in order at
the present time. There are sew
eral reasons for this. One reason
has been widely publicized in
the Catholic press IN recent
weekS-the growing tendency of
state legislatures, particularly in
the South, 10 enact So-called
right to work" bills. To put it as
mildly as possible, these bills are
designed to make it increasingly
difficult for the labor movement
to organize the unorganized.
Speeious Logic, WoefuI Ignorance
Archbishop RummeI of New
Orleans and Father Louis Twom-
ey, 81. of I.oyola University of
the South recently added another
glorious chapter to the history
of the Catholic social movement
in the United States by vigorous
~ opposing the enactment of
such bill in Louisiana. The fact
that their efforts were in vain.
and the further fact that their
position was publicly repudiated
IN a newspaper advertisement
by more than SO respectable Ca
tholic laymen from the Archdio-
cese OF New Orleans. are added
reasons for being pessimistic
about the future rate of growth
of the American labor movement.
Even more discouraging than the
advertisement itself was the
specious logic employed by these
ill-advlsed laymen in brashly try
ing to cut the ground out from
under the authority of their
highly respected ecclesiastical
superior.

In Our Own Back Yard

There are some significant overtones 10 the
fact that the Agricultural Trade and Development
Act vas signed into law by the President recently.
The law enables the President to dispose Of Ameri-
cas- billion dollar farm surplus commodities by
giving some of them away and by selling the rest.
This law goes long way toward solving the prob
lem of what TO do with our countrys abundant
surplus natural wealth.
1t does much more than this however. The very
fact that we have this wealth and are able to dis
pose Of it H. this way points up the fact that we
have one OF the most potent weapons against
the encroachment Of Comm MIST imperialism

Folly On Red China

suading Senators to modify their
position so that the door would
be kept open for possible entry
of Red China into the United

Inquiry Corner

Q. Is not capital punishment
the same as murder? Can man
take human life?
A. The Fifth Commandment
forbids taking the life of an in
nocent person. We may not take
it upon ourselves By individual
or mob impulse to rob a man of
the time of trial which God gives
him on earth. An .aggressor who
does not hesitate to take human
life forfeits this immunity and
necessary defense is permitted.
The Old Testament laid down de-
crees regarding the death penalty
for certain crimes Genesis 90;
Exodus 21.12) and the New Test
ament approved John 1910;
Acts 25.11). St. Paul stated that
the State is Gods minister, an
avenger to execute wrath upon
him that doeth evil" (Romans
13.4) Self-defense. capital pun
ishment and just (defensive) war
represent mans just defense of
his right to preserve his life and
liberty from unjust aggressorS.
Q. Is tt necessary to abstain
from SerUile Work on HolyddgS?
What IS serUiie?
A. The law of the Church calls
for the same observance of the
(six) holydays of obligation as
we give to Sunday. II is neces-
sary to attend Mass and TO abb
stain from unnecessary serVile
work. Servile work means labor
which is primarily physical rath-
er than mental. Farming, mechan-
ical and industrial labor and bus
mess transactions are excluded,
but playing music, travelling. fish
ing and games are permitted.
They do involve physical effort,
but not of such a kind as to in
terfere with Gods appointed day
of rest. Servile work is permit
ted when the honor of GOD, our
own real needs or those of our
neighbor requires it. Naturally
there will be more exceptions on
holydays than on Sunday. but
the obligation is still grave and
only NECESSARY work should
be done.

1t would pay some of our po-
litical leaders to read this book
or, at least, TO have it briefed for
them. All ideas that there can
be an actual peace with Red
China would Immediately pass
out OF the picture. The aUhole
core of Mao TSe-t1lHq,S thoughts
is the necessity Of dch3euing the
tUortd S0riet reuoiution Gs set
forth IN the teachings OF Mara,
EugelS, LeRin, and Stain. In
his famous essay "On Practice,
included in these pages, he
makes Stains statement on the
urgency "of revolutionary prac-
tiee, illumined by revolutionary
theory" the basis for his own
observations. And that ''revolu-
tionsry practice" as guided by
Msrxist-LeniniSm, has always as
lis central objective the world
Soviet dictatorship.
Ultimate Illusion
No more cIesr-cut expression
of the Marxism-LeniniSm outlook
has been presented than this by
Mao Tse.tung and 1t is this vet
eran Communist. so thoroughly
committed to Moscow, that We
are told will possibly turn to-

From Mao Tse-tung's view
point which is the basic Red
viewpoint. peace" is the cover
for endless Soviet aggression and
warfare. Under this concept,
there can be no genuine peace
until the entire globe is Soviet
controlled and, following that,
the earthly paradise of the Com
munist society is ushered in.
Just how many bitter experlen-
ees will be required before this
is learned IN Washington remains
to be seen.
Meanwhile. every american
can do his part by insisting to
our Senators and Representatives
that the United States take a
fortnight stand-that Red China
iUiiE not be recognized under any
circumstances.
