the Communist Party will be de-
plored, and one Of the chief
grounds will be that this med-
sure t0ill lose uS the good loill
of our allied nations"
The realities, which make this
sort of talk absurd, will be sup
pressed or distorted in the daily
press. But those realities will
break through if clearheaded
and patriotic Americans will ex-
ert themselves TO see that the
truth is told.
The Communists are so bold
at this hour because the con
tainment" policy of the United
States-which was accompanied
by the Stalinite slogan of peace
full coexiStence"-has fallen into
ruins. The preliminaries for the
coming conference at Manila of
the Southeast Asian govern
ments, even by the judgment of
its friends, hold out small hope
for any effective Pacific policy.
The European Defense Commun-
ity has ceased to exist.
Britain and France Desert
There is so little hope at Ma
nila because the United States
has yielded to its "allies" and
has excluded the best fighters
against Communism in Asia,
Syngman Rhee and Chang Kai-
shek. The European Defense
Community has gone to pieces
because the United States. in
stead of adopting a strong stand
which could have won us allies,
has dissipated its time and en-
ergy by going TO Geneva r as
Moscow ordered II TO do.
As consequence, we have lost
our allies. 1t is not so long ago
that this country was flooded
with propaganda TO the effect
that 'McCarthyism" would cause
us to lose the friendship of these
nations. The United States Sen.
ate has subsequently put Sena.

questions in a new book, Job
Property Rights" (Kings Crown
Press, Columbia University. II
is his tentative opinion, based
upon a case study of job controls
in a particular branch of the
printing industry, that the con-
cept of a property right seems
to be expanding into new area
the area of individual jobs.
These job controls, which he says
are analogous to job property
rights, have been brought about
and are constantly being redefin-
ed and reinforced through the
process of collective bargaining
between companies and unions.
Seniority provisions in the typi-
cal collective bargaining contract
are a case in point.
In certain respects DR.. Porter'S
little book of approximately 100
pages leaves a great deal to be
desired. For example, his intro
ductory summary of the history
and meaning of the concept of
property. rights is very made
quate from the philosophical
point of view. Nevertheless he
has performed a useful service
in calling attention to a neglect
ed problem of ever-increasing
importance in the field of So
ciai ethics.
A Case In Point
This problem is very prac-
tical one in the day-to-day adj
ministration of collective bari
gaining contracts. Recently, for
example, it was the occasion or
the cause of a labor dispute in
Torrington, Conn, which had to
go all the way up to the Connec-
ticut Supreme Court of Errors
for final decision. There is rea-
son to believe that this case will
come to be regarded as a very
important legal precedent in
support of DR.. Porter's thesis.
The case involved the job
property rights of an employee
Of the American Brass Co. in
Torrington. This man, who is re-
ferred to in the record as MIR.

We can smile at the amusing and ridiculous
claim of the selling apples. The claim of 4

Inquiry Corner
Father Healey-

O. Who are the chosen people?
A. The expression is used gen.
orally to refer to Old Testament
times when the Jews we're the
race or nation selected by God
for His work. When Christ came
and established His Church all
barriers were broken down and
the Apostles we're sent to "all
nations" and "to every creature"
st. Paul spoke of the special
place God has for those who serv-
ed Him so we'll and utters myS-
teriouS promise of their return
and salvation. Romans 1928 The
Catholic Church is the visible or
ganization bringing Gods teach
ings and graces to men and the
members of the Mystical Body
might be called the chosen peo-
pie today.
Q. Is ",0hite lie" rUrong?
Aren't there circumstance l0here
the Uhote truth is cruel and
harmful?
A. A white lie" is sinful and
wrong. AS st. Thomas Aquinas
states: "A lie is of its nature
evil for as words are natur-
ally the sign of thought, it is un-
natural and undue to signify by
words what one has not in his
mind" It is not always necessary
or good to tell the whole truth
and under extraordinary circum-
stances an "evasive reply is per-
mitted A direct lie, no matter
how trivial in content is always
wrong, for it contradicts the very
purpose of speech and implicitly
indicates that we can decide on
the solution of a situation in
way better than Gods.
Q. Who Dds st. Helen?
A. Helen or Helena was an
innkeeper'S daughter who at the
age of twenty-seven met and
married a Roman officer named
Constantius Chorus. When their
son was about ten years old Con-
stantius was called by Diocletian
and Maximianus Herculius 10
share the government of the Ro-
man Empire. Political expedi-
ence forced him to dismiss
Helen and marry the daughter
in-law of Maximianns. Later the
son of Constantius and Helen
became the sole master of the
Empire. His name was Con-
stantlne. He called his mother
to him and she became a Chris
tian and is credited with the dis
covery of the True Cross in the
excavation in Palestine. Her
feast day is August Is. She died
at an advanced age in 329 A. D.

headlines over the directive arti-
Gle which begins this new sedi-
tious campaign
The argument of the Reds is
a simple one. The United States
Congress, through fear" has
put the brand of outlaw on the
Soviet fifth column in this coun-
try. While this lunacy in Con-
gress' is going forward, the rest
of the Western world, the Red
argument goes, is filled with

Western world-and the Com
munis.s do not hesitate eynieally
to talk as though they were
Americans and call the Western
countries "our free world allies
lis coming TO terms with Soyi-
ct Russia. That is, our so-ealled
allies" are surrendering more
and more to Soviet pressure.
Realities Distorted
Since what the Reds say today
is frequently translated into
American life tomorrow, we will
soon hear these arguments in a
slightly different form from

who have been so susceptible tn

France have deserted us ~ the

cause Of its own weakness and
the success of Red propaganda
against Western Germany.
The whole tragic outcome
could have been avoided by fol-
lowing the advice of Generals
Albert Wedemeyer and Mark w.
Clark, IN oioino hope TO the free
World By oar breaking off all
relations NTH Soviet Russia and
its satellites. Such an act can
still 60 far toward rectifying the
present serious state of affairs
Those nations genuinely stand
ing for freedom would then rally
around us.
We have right TO ask: What
'fear" induced both houses of
Congress by overwhelming votes
TO outlaw the Soviet fifth col
umn? That measure merely stat
ed the factS-that the Commun-
ist Party is not a party but con-
Spiracy, completely controlled by
Moscow. The Daily Worker
claims that it was Tfear of the
McCarthyites" which induced
such action, but that is an old
and wornout theme. When we
look into the matter further, we
see that it is fear of the Amer
lean people the Reds are talking
about. The Average American

ing of French democracy, the
Catholic-led Popular Republican
Movement, was born in the Re
sistanee. One of its present lead
ers, Georges Bidault, who since
1945 has several times been
premier and foreign minister,
was president of the National
Committee of the Resistance dur
ing the occupation.
The Church paid a heavy toll
for its active participation in
the Resistance. There is no way
to determine the number of lay,
Catholics who were imprisoned,
deported or executed by the GeS-
tapo. But of the 100000 French
men who we're executed during
the occupation or who died in
concentration camps, 1900 were
Catholic priests. in addition 730
priests were deported and 500
were in prison when the country
was liberated.
Since the war French Catho-
lies have been obliged to con-
tinue their battle, but against a
different foe. Once again, as
France commentaries the tenth
anniversary of her liberation
from the nazis, French Catho-
lies are at the head of a Strug-
gle against a totalitarian enemy.
This time, instead of pagan Ma
tional Socialism, the enemy is
atheistic communism, which pos
es an equal and perhaps even
greater threat to the nation S
Christian society.

MONSICNOR HIGGINS
A Right To 4 Job

that he was suffering from epi-
lepsy. He had already accumulat-
ed 13 years of seniority and had
earned more than half of his
pension rights, all of which he
would automatically lose if he
were discharged. Nevertheless
the company, carrying out a gen.
eral policy laid down by its med
ical department, decided that he
had to be discharged in the in
terest of safety. His particular
job was admittedly hazardous.
The local union filed a protest,
stating that Mr.. ID had been dis
charged without good cause and
that consequently the company
had violated the terms of its col
lective bargaining contract. In
due course the dispute between
the company and the local union,
in accordance with one of the
provisions of the contract, was
referred to the Connecticut
State Board of Mediation and Ar
bitration. The Chairman of this
Board is Monsignor Joseph DON
nelly, director of the Hartford
Archdiocesan Labor Institute
and one of the best informed
priests in the United States in
the field of industrial relations.
The Board ruled in favor of the
union, whereupon the case was
appealed by the company TO the
Superior Court in New Haven
County on the grounds that the
Board had exceeded its powers.
The Superior Court ruled in fa-
vor of the company and against
the Board. Subsequently, how
ever, the Supreme Court of Err
rors vacated the order of the
lower court and ruled in favor
Of the Board.
EihicslIy Sound
The decision of the Board-to
return to the original subject OF
this column-seemS to be based
upon the unspoken premise that
a mans right to his job, under
certain conditions, is the same
as or analogous to property
right. While granting that the
American Brass Company was
justified in removing Mr.. ID from
his original job-which, as al
ready noted, was admittedly haz-
ardous-the Board ruled that Mr..
d. had a right to be transferred
TO another job which he could
handle without danger TO himself
or his fellow workers.
Monsignor Donnelly and his
associates on the Board of Medi-
alton and Arbitration are to be
congratulated very sincerely on
this decision. 1t is ethically
sound and, from the technical
point of view, a model of its
kind. AS suggested above, it will
probably be cited for long time
to come as an important prece-
dent in. the solution of similar
cases involving job property
rights.

WASHINGTON - The French
Resistance Movement, whose
great contribution to the liberia
ton of France from the nazis ten
years ago, is today being cele-
brated throughout that country,
was mainly organized by Catho-
lies.
French communists claim a
large, indeed predominant
part, in the founding of the Re-
sistance. In fact, however, the
leadership of the Party betrayed
France during the first part of
World War ii and the early pc
riod of the German occupation.
The Reds attempted to collab-
crate with the nazis and joined
the Resistance only after the
German invasion of the Soviet
Union.
France was finally freed from
German conquest by the United
Nations troops led by General
Eisenhower. But the Allied i'm
vasion was greatly aided by the
armed guerrillas of the Resist
ance Movement. According to
General Eisenhower in his book,
Crusade in Europe" the con
tribution of Resistance forces to
the invasion was equal to that
of Is normal divisions.
The magnitude of this final
effort, however, was made pos
sible only because from the start
of the German occupation moral,
spiritual, economic and finally
armed resistance was relentless

baptized if there is any hope of
life or II it has apparently been
dead but a short time. There
have been instances where child
rem apparently still-born survi-
we'd after hours of artificial res
plration. Since God loves child
rem even more than the parents
do we S h ou d leave the final
answer to God. We know that
an infant needs only to be bap-
tlzed to receive the supernatural
life and If baby dies after
b a,pt It's m, heaven is assured.
Because of this great power in
the Sacrament of Baptism we
take great care to see that babies
receive it as soon as possible
after birth.
Q. What does the tcord
Amen" mean?
A. 1t comes from the Hebrew
and means $50 be it." 1t is
used in the Sacred Scriptures
in many places as solemn af-
firmation of the solemnity of a
statement. In our use of the
word in prayers it often has the
nature of a response, whereby
the server or the people (e. &.
the choir express their agree
ment and union with the priest.
A significant example would be
the Amen" at the end of the
Canon of the Mass, for it ex-
presses the union of the people
with the priest in the solemn
action of the Conservation, just
completed.

A. Anything we have heard
from people we trust is difficult
to abandon. Prejudice of this
sort, based on no evidence is diff
fieult to remove by argument or
explanation. Relatives, friends
and visitors have many oppor-
tunities to observe converts and
any sincere person can talk TO
nuns in schools, hospitals and
in their converts. No convent is
afraid of inspection, but no one
seriously proposes such an inVes-
tigatlon. 1t is an American as
well as a Christian principle that
no one is judged guilty until he
is proved so and your friend
might be impressed if you asked
him to meet some nuns who are
working and living in his own

all these fields Catholics played
a major role.
The first anti-German under
ground publications to awaken
the nation were Catholic. Most
famous of these was the peri
odical "Cahiers du Temoignage
Chretien" messages of Christian
Testimony, which maintained
the supremacy of the dogmas of
the Church over the laws of men.
Along with it many other PAM
phlets and leaflets, published in
secret, strengthened the will of
the people to resist.
In many cases the Catholic

the orders of the Occupation au-

ed laws of the Vichy govern
ment, particularly the anti
Semitic segregation laws and the
attempts to submit youth organi-
Zations TO state control. The
Church was not willing TO sur
render souls TO the government.
Catholic trade unions and 9TH

FINDINGS

The Legislative Council notes
with satisfaction that recent in
vestments in manufacturing plants
have placed ALASKA in an i'm
proved industrial position. How
ever, the development has not
been as broadly based or diversi-
fled as might be most desirable.
The vast industrial and tourist
potentials in Alaska show promise
of solid achievement and progress
for many years to come, but the
difficulties facing new industrial
development in Alaska are also
severe and cannot be solved easily
The solution of such problems will
require effort on the part of all
groups interested in the develop
ment of Alaska.
The last three legislatures, in
1949, 1851 and 1858, have attemp-
ted to create a more favorable eli
mate for industrial development
through the adoption of laws
authorizing property tax exemp-
tons for new industry and a tax
exemption for mining for the
three and half years after COM
mencement of production.
Many of the states and other
Jurisdictions have adopted SINH
lar tax exemption provisions of
one sort or another, many of
which are more comprehensive
than the exemption provisions in
Alaska.
During the economic develop
ment of the United States, the
national government, states, and
local communities offered many
types of financial aids to- obtain
