Through the courtesy of one of
my former students in the Tech
niques Of Communism, certain
additional passages from this
Yearbook have been brought TO
my attention. We read: LAS one
recent analysis of Communism
warns, there is grave danger of
undertaking its power TO attract
intelligent people. Alth Il & h
much of its propaganda design
ed to reach the masses is fantaS-
tic. there is back of il a closely
knit body of assumptions and
logically developed ideas. which
interpret all history as class
struggle. and all Communist ac-
tivity as the working out of sci
entific principles that will lead
to the emancipation of the work
ing classes from poverty and op-
preston.
While these words are not so
accurate or clearcut. in part. as

ought to be in the event that the
Soviet delegates WIN their fight
for credentials.
Wise Decision
The principal spokesman for
the US employer delegation, Will
liam McGrath, is reported to
have announced on June 10 that,
if the Soviet employer delegates
were seated. he would recon-
mend that US employers refuse
to participate in future MO con-
ferences. Fortunately, the Eisen-
hover Administration and the
US worker delegation will not go
along with this recommendation.
If, in spite of US opposition,
Soviet employer and worker del
egateS are seated at the Geneva
conference. the Administration
will continue and will urge US
labor and employers TO continue
to participate IN the work of the
NO. The Administration will
probably have announced this de-
cision before the present column
is published.
This seems TO US . very wise
decision on the part of the Ad-
ministrstion. To withdraw from
the no at this time would be to
play into the hands of the com
munistS. For, in the absence of
the United States, they would
find it that much easier to use
the IL0 as sounding board for
Soviet propaganda to the mil
lions of workers in the under
developed areas of the world
whom they are hoping to enSlave.
II would be better strategy, in
our opinion, for the us. to stay
in there and keep punching.
The USSR is extremely vulner-
able on number of issues which
will be publicly debated at this
and succeeding MO conferences
forced labor, trade union free
dom. civil rights, and freedom Of
movement of labor. We have
everything to gain by continuing
to use the facilities of the ILO
to focus international attention
on the CHASTITY crimes which the
USSR is committing against the
workers of Russia and her satel-
lites. BY the same token, the
USSR would have everything to
gain by our withdrawal from the
10. This is precisely what the
Kremlin is hoping for.
Adequate Budget imperative
II is TO be hoped. therefore,
that Mr.. McGrath will reconsider
his position and withdraw his
recommendation that American
employers sever their long-stand-
ing relationship with one of the
most effective of all information
al organizations. Withdrawal
from the n0 would be very bad
strategy. II would be much bet
ter for American employers to
intensity rather than diminish
the effectiveness of Us partici-
patton IN the no.

Not until Americans understand
the false assumptions and the
false theory that is based upon
these Communist assertions) can
they understand the power of the
largest mass movement that has
arisen since the spread of Islam"
While we can Immediately OBJ
serve that the term mass move
ment" is not strictly correct,
since Communism restricts itself
to that small corps known as the
vanguard" at least satisfaction
can be expressed that IFS threat
Is realized. Our main criticism is
and must be that these good
UordS fall on ears anprepdred TO
receioe them.
There has been no serious ex-
animation of Communism as a
threat in most of our universl-
ties, colleges, and training
schools for teachers. That is why
some pleasure can be expressed
at the surprisingly good recep-
tion that has been given my own
textbook on the "Techniques of
Communism the first one pre-
pared to come to grips with Com
muniSt documents. Red strategy,
and the Communist line. The
American Legion Post at Scars
dale, n. Y, has recognized this
feature of the book by present
ing ii to the library of the Scars
dale High School This is a posi-
tive move and more of a like
character should be encouraged.
During the past six months, |
have received 4 mounting num-
ber of letters asking what can be
done effectively to oppose the
Soviet fifth column. To this sub
lect | shall give detailed atten-
tion in subsequent columns. But
here. right at hand, is something
which can be done Immediately.
The placing of books intelligent
N critical of Communism IN L.
brarieS Is no minor contribution.
If to that is added requests that
teachers be trained in this field,
great good viii be done.

O. What is the difference be-
t1Ceen a fast day and a fast day
that also has partial dbstinence7
A. For those who are fasting
there is no difference. The per-
son fasting is allowed one full
meal. Two other MEATL ESS
meals are permitted, but they are
not to equal full meal lie. to-
gether they must be less than
the full meal. For those who are
too young or too old (or other
wise excused) to fast there is no
abstinence required on a fast
day, But they are to eat meat
but once on day of partial abb

Q. What about Cams teffes
Who tnas she-hss SISTER?
A. A venerable joke tells of
the minister who answered this
question first by saying that we
should not inquire too much
about mems wives. Many of the
people who propose the diff
ficulty do overlook the fact that
there are many things outside
our experience land even our
law which are not at all difficult
for God. The circumstances were
unusual but it would be no great
problem for God to allow broth
ers to marry sisters. That is UNI
doubtedly what they did. Just az
He made exceptions in the nat
ural order in the matter of poly
gamy and divorce in the Old
Testament He can permit prac-
tees which ordinarily conflict
with mans physical and moral
well-being. With the coming of
Christ these exceptions were
removed and the true perfection
and happiness of the married
state was indicated by the In
stitution of the Sacrament Of
Matrimony and the inspired
teachings of st. Paul on the dig
nifty of the union of man and
wife. 1t is important to remem-
ber that in the beginning many
of the evils which go with our
long history of sins and imper-
fections were unknown. In the
dawn of human history God fash
ioned Adam without parents and
Eve In some mysterious manner
from Adam. So too he permitted
what is to us unthfnkable, the
marriage of brothers and sisters.

doubt that the USSR cannot be
trusted to play the game accord
ing to the rules of civilized pro-
cedure. The Soviet record in the
UN and its specialized agencies
is one of cynical hypocrisy. In
view of all this, it is asked, why
in the world should the United
States waste any more time or
money trying TO accomplish the
impossible? We have everything
10 gain and nothing TO lose. the
argument continues, by cancelng
our membership in the UN and
its specialized agencies until such
time as the USSR is expelled or
voluntarily withdrawS from these
organizations.
While there is something to be
said for this opinion, the Admin
iStration has acted wisely, in our
judgment, in refusing to adopt
II as the official policy of the
United States government. The
matter came TO a head recently
at the International Labor Con-
ference in Geneva, Switzerland,
the annual plenary session of the
LO. This year, for the first
time, the USSR applied for men,
bership in the ILO. The US work
er and employer delegates to
the Geneva conference voted
against the seating of the Soviet
worker and employer delegates
on the ground that they are po.
litical stooges of the USSR and
have not been chosen democrat
ically by the people whom they
pnrport to represent. Thanks TO
American leadership, many other
anti-communist delegations voted
the same way.
There was complete agreement
on this matter within the Amer
lean delegation. The position of
our worker and employer dele
gates was approved and vigor-
ously supported by the official
Us Government Dele CATION,
headed up by the Assistant Sec
rotary of Labor. As of this writ
ing, however, II appears that the

Q. haze been told by one Of
my Catholic friends that the ca
tholic Church is losing member
ship IN France. Spatn, italy and
LdtfG America. Is 1t The truth
that these one-ttme great Cutho-
nc countries are Leaving the ca

A. According to data obtained
from the Official Catholic Direc-
ory, from the Catholic Students
Mission Crusade and from var
ious embassies as reported in
the 1854 Catholic Almanac they
are not. France is listed as hav-
ing 1882 300 Catholics in a pop

600. These are Fprofessed' Ca
tholics and we know that many
Of them do not practice their
religion enough to be called good
Catholics. Some fe.g. in italy,
consider themselves Catholics
and Communists at the same
time. In Latin America there
are many areas where the priest
seldom comes but the people are
not as ignorant of their religion

lca1 press would imply. Too

especially involving whole ma
tons. The Catholics who are anti
clerical or sceptical of their faith
IN those countries are that way
not because the Catholic Church
Is rejected but because of per
sonal conflicts, social problems
or political disagreement.
Q. What are the days of fast
as distinguished from those of
fast and partial abstinence?
A. DAYS of fast tONLY FAST)
are the weekdays of Lent Except
FRIDAYS and Ash Wednesday,.
Ember Wednesday and Saturday,
the Vigil of Pentecost and the
Eve of All Saints are days of fast
and partial abstinence. All other
fast days are also total abstin-
ence days lie. no one eats meat
at any meal. Such days include
the Fridays of Lent, Ember Fri
day. Ash Wednesday and the
vigils of the Assumption and
Christmas.
O. A Protestant friend of mine
objects to prayers TO the saints
and for the dead.
A. If your Protestant friend
accepts the Apostles Creed, as
most Protestants do, ask him
what the Communion of Saints"
means. Throughout the Sacred
Scriptures we have reference TO

of the Kingdom of God for each
other, and this kingdom is some
