should reduce their cost to the
consumer, it was said.
The new method is described
as employing continuous flow
of food to plants, rather than
period feeding. The whole pro-
cess takes place in one con-
tainer, with the algae and their
food separated by a membrane
which permits the food to flow
slowly but steadily to the plants.
Opponents of the birth con-
trollers' argument have insisted
right along that food shortage
was not to be feared, if the re-
sources of the world were ade-
quately and equitably employed.
Shortage of food existing in
some areas, they pointed out,
could be overcome by the distri-
button of food surpluses that ex-
ist in other places, and a serious
blow could be struck at the prob
lem by the employment of lands
that are surplus to some people
who need and could use them.
Now this reported discovery of
a new and important way of add
ing to the worlds existing food
resources seems to render the
Malthusian argument even less
impressive.

Modern Educational
Methods

Education yesterday, today and tomorrow -
The same forever From the schools OF antiquity
down through the days Of the little red school
house to the schools of today teachers have tried
not only 10 impart information to their pupils,
but also 10 train them in sitting sorting and an
alyzing the information and in recognizing the log
icsl or illogical sequence IN which the facts or
opinions are placed The success which different
systems Of education throughout the ages have
achieved in accomplishing this end varies consid-
erably The basic philosophy of the school system,
and therefore the educational principles around
which the training revolves influence this achieve
ment
The philosophy of The Catholic school system is
naturally that Of the Catholic Church. About the
basic principles of such education we can say truly

of the discoyerers were not re-

cause, it was said, two of them

Q. If the particular Judgment
comes immediately after death
aUhdt happened to Lazarus? Was
he already Judged and i0ns his
further life on earth unreal?
A. 1t is an article of faith that
after death comes the particular
judgment. Certainly the case of
Lazarus was an exception as
Christ made clear when He said.
Lazarus is dead; and | rejoice
on your account that ] was not
there, that you may believe"
1t is generally hell that Lazarus
was not judged but was kept in
state of suspended operation for
the time between his death and
the raising from the dead. The
Gospels refer to his continued
existence after the miracle John
12:9-1D and tradition tells of his
further life as an apostle TO
France. 1t would not seem pos
sible for a man to be judged,
such judgment carrying an eter-
nal verdict, and continue life on
earth in the ordinary way.
Q. Does infdlIibiIity mean that
the Pope cannot make a mistake
or commit Sin?
A. No. Infallibility is that quail
ity in the Church and in the
Pope protecting us from error.
(Matthew 16:18-19; Luke 22:31-
32): John 16:16-17) Infallibility
is not a personal quality for the
benefit of the Pope himself. He
can make mistakes in matters
which are not taught as part OF
his divine teaching office, and
he is not protected from PERSON
al sin. The Pope is infallible on
ly when he speaks Tex cathedra"
on matters of Faith and morals.
Infallibility applies only when he
speaks as supreme pastor of the
whole Church with the intention
of stating something as matter
of divine faith.

A Regrettable Incident

Radio as means of public communication has
long been a vitalizing force for good in the com
munity. As medium of public expression, educa-
ton and entertainment it has been an intimate part
of American home-life and in the main whole
some part.
The industry as whole through the FEC and
other sefreguiatory principles it is guided by has
come to be recognized by all as a leader among
the mass media Of communication for decent, moral
and fair presentations IT is this fact that makes
any deviation from the established norm so shock
ing and regrettable
Just such sad departure on the part of of
our local radio stations, WTVN, has been brought
to our attention by number of people, both Cath
olic and non-Catholic, who were amazed and sad
dened to hear a violently ignorant and bigoed
attack on the Catholic Church
The broadcast brought comfort good 10 no
one. II was a tissue of Justification and petulant
misrepresentation To the informed listener of what
EVER persuasion he might be, it obvious
csnard in the worst taste. To the uniformed, 1t
could only be the source of troubling doubts mis-
trust and rdcule of their Catholic neighbors in the
community

live and Of the citizens who make ii up. We are a
diversified lot yes but firm in the right TO our
convictions and just firmly adamant in preserving
The right of others 10 theirs. The strength and
goodness inherent in form of government lies
in the recognition and acceptance of this fact by
all of us
We who make up The aembic which is America
are in no way against the discussion of points of
belief based on their merits We do decry, though,
the promulgaton of bigotous lies which have no
part in intelligent controversy.
II is the nature Of weeds to thrive and spread.
II is our hope that this weed that has been sowed
among us will shrive and die from the lack of
the bad-will necessary TO sustain il.

WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON ~ An argument
long used by birth control advo-
Gates may have received an inn
p0rtant setback as the result of
an announcement made here.
Birth controllers have argued
for some time that the worlds
population is increasing so rap
idly-because we are adding to
the life span and reducing in
fant mortality-that in time the
the world won't be able to feed
its inhabitants.
Now it has been announced
that three students at George
town University, a Jesuit insti-
tuition in this city, have discov-
cred a new and faster way of
producing algae. Algae are very
small plants that grow in water
and have high protein food con-
tent.
Scientists have talked for a
long time about growing algae
for human food. However, it
has always been considered that
the growth of the plants was too
slow, by methods known till now,
to make feasible their production
for commercial use.
The new method was announc-
ed by the representative of

of "inviolable' unity among the
regimes now mustered under the
banner of Moscow.
Pertinent Warming
II brings out once more the
absurdity, or worse, of the dec
laration recently made by the
American Assembly-the aggre-
cation of best minds" around
Columbia University - that the
door must be kept open" for
the recognition of Red China.
For the only theory on which the
best minds" could come to such
a conclusion Is that, in some way
or other, the Red-Chinese gov
ernment can be wooed away from
the Kremlin. The Peiping pledge
of "indestructible friendship"
which can only mean complete
subservience to Moscow, reveals
the "best minds as very bad
advisors to the American nation.
The formula about "the peace
loving people throughout the
world" is also a familiar one. 1t
refers TO those forces in every
non-Soviet country that are aid
ing the advance of the Soviet
cause. And We can observe in
this reference the promise -
made so frequently by Moscow
itself - that these. non-Soviet
countries will be persuaded upon
a course which will bring about
their ruin. Nothing loill 90 fur

classes are receiving much attention and we are
happy to add word Of recommendation for this
latest venture of small institution which is giving
large amount Of service to the community.
Saint AIMS is not only an excellent and complete

services rank with the best in Columbus. Not salts
fed with doing all these things, Saint AIMS now

be the cas-, for this "constitu-
ton" represents a high light in
the new Soviet moves TO consoli-
date power over the satellite re-
gimes and their subject peoples.
This constitution" is even
more than that. 1t is the founda-
tion stone for Soviet conquest of
all Asia, as was forecast by the
document prepared as early as
1923, under Stalin's direction, by
the Sixth Congress of the Com
munist International. As the
Communist theoretieian Liu Shap
Chi says, at great length, IL is
obvious that the great experience
of the advanced Socialist states,
headed by the Soviet Union, has
been Of great help to us" He
proceeds to declare the work "a
product of the international So
cialist movement"
Telling Sentence
That estimate is of great sig
nifieance, for it forecasts that
the Red Chinese constitution"
itself, born of Moscow-led world
aggression, will in turn be the
signal for the Communists in 9th
er colonial countries to follow
the Mao-tse-Tung example,
This concept is borne out by
the preamble to the "constitu-
tion" which has. among its phras-
es, most telling sentence. II
reads as follows. "(Red) China
has already built up an indestruet-
ible friendship with the great
Union of Soviet Socialist Repub-
lies and the Peoples Demeera-
cies, the friendship between our
people and the peace loving peo-
pie throughout the world is also

amble, is contained the pledge

thought at the time that he had
failed to prove his point convinc-
ingly. But after reading the fea-
ture article, "Distributism Yer
sus Capitalism" in the October
issue of The Catholic Worker.
we are inclined to revise our
opinion.
Although the article in The
Catholic Worker is signed by the
editor, Dorothy Day, the bulk of
it - all but the opening and
closing paragraphs - is a long
quotation from her Son-in-law,
David Hennessy. This man is
self styled "distributist" and
manager of the David Hennessy
Distribuust Bookshop in Staten
Island. New York. DiStributism,
according to Mr.. Hennessy, is
1.-The only alternative to the twin
evils of capitalism and commun-
ism"
The eist of The Catholic Work
er article is that the Industry
Council Plan - as advocated by
the present writer and several
ether priests referred TO in Mr..
Hennessy's conversation with his
mother-in-law - is lust a plan
to make the best of our present
capitalistic system. This system,
Mr.. Hennessy says, is goddess"
and intrinSically evil.
In view of all this, one is in
elined to agree with Father
DempSey's opinion that the word
capitalism" is worse than use
less. 1t means too many differ
ent things to too many different
people. Certainly there are few
American Catholics who agree
with Mr.. Hennessy's definition of
the term. Be that as it may, Fa-
ther Dempsey is probably wag
ing a losing battle. For better or
for worse, capitalism" is pre-
sumably here to- stay with all of
its contradictory meanings.
The Popes Speak
This being so, it is necessary
to point out that there is moth
ing sacred - certainly nothing
officially Catholic about Mr..

barbarlsm known as Peoples
China"
When we turn to that feature
of the constitution" entitled
Fundamental Rights and Duties
of Citizens" we are made aware
of how this is TO be done-at
least, one way in which it is to
be done. Without burdening the
reader, we shall refer to but one
sentence in this make-belieVe
guarantee" of rights to those
under the Red dictatorship.
Window-Dressing
Article 81 of Chapter III
reads: "Citizens of the Peoples
Republic of China have freedom
of speech, the press, assembly,
association, procession and dem
onstration." This and other SIM
liar phrases are merely window
dressing, written in to persuade
the United States that there is
something democratic" about
dictatorship.
II is o be hoped that our lead
ership, no matter how naive
many of its representatives may
have proved to be, will not be so
childish as to swallow this syn
thetic promise of democracy"
Phrases of like wording and con-
tent were written into the Soviet
Constitution of 1896 and for one
reason only: To arrange the
stage setting for those years
when men like the then Vice
President Henry Wallace and
Secretary of Interior Ickes hail
ed Soviet Russia as a great
democratic nation"
Firm Stand Essential
Let us be clear about such mat
terS once and for all. The bar
barous regime of Red China
f0ill not permit any speech, pub
lication. or organization of any
sort SAGE that lphich halls and ad-
pdnces the dictatorship. Such
has proved to be the case in So
Wet Russia; so it is in the great
est of MoScow's imitators, the
Communist rule over China.
AlertnesS to what these moves
foretell will be of advantage TO
our country. Again it becomes
essential for all citizens to press
Washington not to add to the
betrayals which have marked
our recent history, but to stand
firm against any dealing with
the bloody masters of the Chi
nese people.

CAPITALISM 8 Meaning

the evils of modern capitalism,
explicitly states in Quudrdges1Tno
AHno that the capitalistic sys-
tenn lis not to be condemned IN
itself and surely j.. is net
of its nature vicious"
More recently Pope Plus XII in
his encyclical Menti NoStrde (On
the Development of Holiness in
Priestly LIFE also criticized the
evils of "that economic system
which derives its name from the
excessive amassing of private
wealth. This phrasing is lit
eral translation of the official
Latin text. Because the Italian
translation appearing in Los
servatore Romano used the term
capitalism" while the Latin did
not, the N.C.WC. News Service
requested a precise explanation
of the meaning of the Latin
phrase. Msgr. Antonio Bacci, Sec
rotary of the Vatican Secretari-
ate for Briefs to Princes, said
that what was meant by the
Latin phrase was excessive or
exaggerated capitalism" !" Monslg-
nor Bacci heads the Secretariate
that is charged with the prep
aration in Latin of documents
committed to it by the Pope.
In the light of these two pa
pal documents it is difficult to
see how Mr.. Hennessy can be so
certain about his opinion.
Correction Needed
We find it almost impossible
to believe that he means this
analysis of the Industry Coun-
ell Plan to be taken seriously
for, to the best of our knowledge
there is not a single Catholic
writer in the United States who
is in favor of the cooperative
state. The cooperative state, at
worst, is a fascist system. At its
best it is completely alien to the
American tradition and TO the
thinking of American Catholic
supporters of the Industry Coun-
ell Plan.
In the same issue of The Cath
olic Worker in which Mr.. Hen
nessy'S misleading analysis of
the I.CP. is published there is an
editorial note to the effect that
The Catholic Worker regrets the
occurrence of all factual errors,
especially when they injure the
reputation of men," Accordingly,
we would expect Mr.. HenneSsy
: to correct the record within the
near future. His only alternative,
1t seems to us, is to document his
critical analysis of the Industry
Council Plan with chapter and
verse from articles or books
which have thus far escaped our
attention. The burden of proof il
clearly his. Certainly his state.
ment with reference TO the cor
porative state cannot be docu-
mented from the writings of the
hackers of the Industry Council
Plan who are mentioned IN his
interesting conversation with his
distinguished and beloved
mother in law.
