He said Senate Republican
Leader Knowland of California
had reported to him that effec-

Showed Herself World Power.
How did it all come to pass?
France consolidated her en-
pire at the height Of her power
and glory. After her defeat by
Prussia in 1870. France was de-
termined to show the world she
would be q world power. She
pinned down her authority in
the Far East. She turned to
North Africa and made Tunisia
a protectorate. She moved into
Morocco and by 1912 established
her authority.
The show was impressive.
France put an end to tribal war

more than doubled. She even
brought education, though be-
latedly and to a relative few.
Native leaders looked up to the
French as wonder workers, mir
acle men who could make a
wilderness flourish and even
make native leaders richer.
French prestige remained little
damaged in the eyes of such peo-
pie until France lay PROSTATE at
Hitler's feet. The allies slogan
of "self determination" an ex-
preston of conscience amid a
war for survival, found attentive
ears in colonial areas. There was
little discussion then whether
such areas were ready for self
rule.

Cracks In Empire Widen.
Once native leaders looked
upon the French as miracle
workers. France was strong and
promised them a better way of
life. The destruction of French
grandeur in the wake of two
would wars produced cracks in
the French empire that are still
widening. Indo- China is slipping

in North Africa, is brewing.

The misfortune of the people
of the French Union who aspire
to national independence is this:
they are subject to being used by
outside forces. No matter how

their future is bound up with the

for survival. Political instability
in areas important to defense is

for the well-being of the chill
dren. But although the Church
permits separation in extreme
cases she never sanctions divorce
with right to remarTy."
From a tract by the Rev j.
Elliot Ross, C. s. p: For valid
Christian consummated mar
rage, the Catholic Church knows
no release except death. How
ever, II the marriage has not been
contaminated. it may be dissolved
by the Pope or by the solemn re-
ligious profession of both parties.
=. In addition to this. the
Church may grant a decree Of
nuliity. that is. she may decide
that q marriage never existed
because OF some impeachment"
Father Ross states, But in re-
gard to the sanctity Of marriage,
as with many other moral ques-
tions it is wiser to be strict than
TO be lax for even the posi-
nility Of divorce naturally breeds
divorce. Persons marry more
recklessly. they are less consider
late after marriage. and they
seek refuge in divorce for situa-
tons that time itself would heal
did they but wait"
Jewish Attitude Given.
Rabbi Barnett r. Brickner of
the Euclid Avenue Temple. in
Cleveland. set forth the Jewish
view of marriage and divorce as
follows:
I'm Judaism, marriage is not
regarded as q sacrament. but as
a spiritual contract, kiddushin,
which means holiness. conse-
Grafton. dedication to the high
est and the best
1.-THE traditional attitude of
Judaism toward divorce has
been liberal. In pre-C Christian
times, the rabbis took the posi-
ton that divorce should be per-
mitted not only on grounds of
adultery, but for any reason that
adversely affected the proper
rearing Of children. daily COM
partnership. and the general
happiness of the home"
To curb today's national abuse
Of divorce, Rabbi Brickner Sug-
gested. IF young people were
properly trained in the mean
ing and responsibilities of mat
rimonyy, the inevitable result
would be more happy homes and
fewer divorces. I believe. too,
that we have much to learn
from the ancient principle that
obilged the Jewish Court, the
Beth Din, to take time before
writing the Get, the bill of di-
vorcement, the reason being to
give the couple time to cool of
to think it over and to be rec
onciled.r

and material aspects Of marriage,
as well as the spiritual" -
The Rev. Murray A. Cayley, of
the First Presbyterian Church Of
Rochester. N. Y. pointed out
that the closing phrase in the
preamble to the Protestant
marriage ceremony is living
together as the heirs Of the grace
of life"
He explained. '"The grace of
life is inherited by the partners
in a marriage after they have
succeeded in remaining loyal
throughout 4 SUFFICIENT period to
learn the spiritual grace Of
unself1shness and devotion in
spite Of tribulation.
1.-THE argument for divorce is
based upon the Supposition that
some of those who marry dis
cover that they were mismated
and that their conflicts are
irreconcilahle. Personally am
ready to admit that there are
some situations in which divorce
is the only intelligent and
humane way out of an impossible
situation. ! am not willing to
admit, however, that divorce
which makes escape easy from
seemingly impossible situations
produces finer and more mature
individuals"
Catholic Viewpoint Differs.
The Roman Catholic view
point on divorce differs from the
views of most ProteStantS and
Jews and is explicit in itself
Materials to explain it were
supplied by the Confraternity of
Christian Doctrine, Archdiocese
of New York.
From a publication Of the
Knights of Columbus: THE
Catholic Church has never ad-
mitted that a valid consummated
sacramento marriage bond can
be severed in any way other than
by death. Not even adultery
breaks the bond and gives either
the innocent or the offending
party the right to contract a new
marriage. Such always has been
the unbending position of the
Catholic Church.
From a pamphlet by the Rev
Martin j. Scott, S. j.: IF, how
ever, in spite of everything, the
marriage situation becomes in
Itolerable, as 1t does sometimes,
the Church advises separation
rather than to live in sin, for sin
it is to live in animoSity and al
cross-purpoSes. But separation
is advisable only as the very last
resort, and with every precaution

"Remarriage Of the divorced
person, man or woman, is con-
sidered proper and. in fact. is
stipulated in the Talmudic bill
of enforcement" Rabbi Ryback
continued. IT do not wish to i'm
ply that the Jewish faith has an
attitude of. light-heartedness or
casualness toward divorce. We
regard the high frequency of di-
vorce in our time as a serious
crisis. Strong family life-in

Rabbi Joseph r. Narot of Tenn
pie Israel, in Miami, declared:
THE real moral issue in di-
vorce for most Americans is: to
what lengths are a man and
woman prepared to go in the
effort to learn the real, under
lying causes of their conflict?
Are they ready to look upon their
difficulties as they would upon
some physical sickness, for the
cure of which they would leave
no possibility of hope unex-
plored? Are they determined to
seek the best, most highly
trained guidance available to
them? This is, in the end, the
