and espionage ia the United
States.
That is only one reason for
the Soviet fifth columns inceS-
SAINT incitation against "McCar-
thyism." The leading editorial
of the Daily Worker of July 20
lets us know that the uproar on
this subject is designed to cont
pei the United States to cringe
before Red China, $50 that the
Kremlin may haze its i0ay in
Asia.
New Villain Added
The Red organ applauds the
Providence Journal and Chicago
Daily News for coming out for
a policy which in effect is
complete retreat by the United
States before Mao Tse-tung. 1t
is also interesting to note that
the Daily Worker has added a
new villain" to the "Knowland-
Mccarthy gang'-Admiral Rad
ford, who is in charge of Ameri-
can defenses in the Pacific.
The Moscow organ in this
country is we'll pleased that both
these Chicago and Providence
papers have assailed Adm. Bad
ford as wanting to launch or
provoke World War III This is
warning to the Admiral that
he had better not stand up for
the rights of the United States
or he will suffer the fate of that
distinguished patriot, General
Douglas Macarthur.
Time To Act Is Now
II is becoming increasingly
clear that patriotic Americans
need to do more than express
platitudes about being against
Communism. They are called
upon to expose and oppose Com
ptanist influences euen f0heH

Oh. Yes Ii Has

The Right Reverend Bravid W. Harris, Anglican
Bishop Of Liberia in his address TO the Anglican
Congress in Minneapolis, made some observations on
the economic state Of the world One Of the most
interesting was this.
1T can hardly be denied that one Of our greatest
weaknesses rests In the fact that Christianity has

The Royal Commission began
its work in Australia as a result
of the detection from the Soviet

WASHNCTON LETTER
Reds Become Platform Issue

WASHINGTON - An interest
ing phenomenon Of the last days
of the 83rd Congress has been
the development of outspoken
advocacy Of the breaking of
diplomatic and trade relations
with Russia and its satellites.
Suddenly, it seems to have be-
come an issue upon which candi-
dates for the House of Repre-
Sentatives and the Senate may
have to commit themselves in
this Falls election,
President Eisenhower stem
med the tide somewhat, when he
told a press conference that the
United States could not possibly
serve its own interests by sever
ing diplomatic ties with Soviet
Russia.
But the President was speak
ing a little late in the day, so far
as the development of this issue
was CONCERNED, and he was OPP
posing head-on the recommends
tions of committee in Con
gress, the vigorous testimony of
another famous soldier, and the
Strongly-voiced sentiments of
numerous organizations and indi-
viduals.
President Eisenhower spoke
only after the Kersten Commit
tee investigating communist ag-
gression recommended that all
free non-communist nations with
draw not only diplomatic rela
tionS but also trade agreements

Father He0ley-

@. 1t ii possible for people TO
be saued loho through no fault
of their olon haze not been bap-
tized2 Is baptism then really
necessary for hed0en2
A. Baptism is necessary for
salvation. No one can enter
heaven without it for the super
natural life of heaven is free
gift of God and Christ made
baptism the minimum condition.
unless a man be born again of
water and the Spirit, he cannot
enter into the kingdom of Cod
John 3:5), 1t is possible. how
ever, for a person to have bap-
tism of blood or baptism of
desire, which contains at least
an implicit desire for baptism of
water. IF anyone love me, he
will keep my word, and my Fa-
ther will love him, and we will
come to him and m axe our
abode with him" John 1929
Baptism of desire means that a
man loves God and keeps the
word of God as he knows it. He
does not have the baptismal
character on his soul nor does he
have other advantages of mem
berShip in the Mystical Body of
Christ.
@. What did Christ a0rite IN
the dirt tOhen he stopped the
Phartsees IN their condemnation
of the aUoman taken in adultery?
John 1853, 8:l1)
A. Nobody knows. There are
dramatic possibilities in imagin-
ing that he wrote sins that were
the secret vices of the men doing
the accusing. Ricciotti ("The
Life of Christ - Giuseppe Ric-
ciotti) explains the situation
without reference to what he
wrote. They were trying to make
him ridiculous by giving an ans
wer contrary to the Law (Deut.
22:23ff; Lev. 20:10) by freeing
the woman or an answer con-
trary TO his reputation for mercy
by condemning her. His scratch
ing in the earth, according to
Ricciotti, was subtle refusal
to be forced into a decision.
Almost casually he gives them
a principle which turns the
tables on them by saying, LET
him who is without sin among
you be the first to cast a stone
at her" 1t was an attack on the
hypocritical legalism for which
they were noted and none of
them dared proceed. They fear
ed he could and would reveal
their secret sins.
@. Is there any real difference
beta0een the Catholic and the
Protestant Bible?
A. Yes. The Bible is the Word
of God and the authentic col
lection of books written under
divine inspiration is that made
by the Catholic Church. Long
before the writings of the New
Testament were so collected
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1954-08-20

All of the seats of the House
and one-third of those in the
Senate are to be filled in cleo
tions this November. The legis-
lators were rushing toward adj
journment, pretty well satisfied
that they knew what the issues
at the polls would be. Now they
have had another question
thrust upon them. 1t seems very
unlikely that candidates will not
be asked where they stand on
this question.
The possibility of this interro-
cation is not lessened by the
fact that Clement R. Attlee,
Aneurin Bevan and other Labor
its leaders of England visited
Moscow and we're feted by Sow
ct Premier Georgi M. Malenkov,
while they were enroute to Pei
ping to see the Red rulers of
China. Nor is it lessened by the
fact that the British Parliament
has accepted an invitation of the
Supreme Soviet, its equivalent in
Russia, to visit Moscow this Fall.
Both of these developments
are a little astonishing, and un-
doubtedly a part of Moscow's ef-
forts to WOO Great Britain. They
could serve to make the Amer
lean people only the more anx-
iouS to know what the candi-
dates for their Congress think
about continuing relations and
trade with Moscow and its pup
pet governments.
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1954-08-20

made with Russia and her satel.
lites; after General Mark Clark
told the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee that we should
break relations with Moscow
and organize the United Nations
against the Soviet Union: af-
ter President Syngman Rhee of
Korea had delivered very out
spoken speeches in this country
about the need for getting tough
with Russia, Red China and the
like.
For several weeks, Washing
ton heard some of the most di-
rect talk on international rela-
tionS that it has heard in a long
time. Some of the expressions
were so strong that they would
have seriously strained diplo-
matte relations between any two
countries, or any group of coun-
tries, not so many decades ago.
1t is illustrative of the callous-
ness to crises that nations have
lisely developed that these re-
cent utteranceS have not provok-
ed more of an international dis
turbance.
The suggestion is not new
one, of course. The interesting
thing is that it seems to have
gained so much expression, and
presumably support, in recent
weeks. And frequently it was
coupled with the urging that,
if necessary, we risk war with
Russia to carry 1t out.
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1954-08-20

nent in the Pacific: A complex
system of communication be-
tween the Soviet secret police
headquarters in Moscow and the
Soviet Embassy in Canberra has
been unearthed. Payments made
out of Embassy funds to Aus
tralians to enable them to make
trips to Soviet Russia have been
disclosed. The hearings have
produced great number of
names of persons - some of
them in confidential capacities
and in high quarters = who
were regular intelligence agents
for the Soviet dictatorship.
We are also given a glimpse of
the pattern which we have seen
so frequently followed in the
United States. Rupert Lockwood,
a well known journalist, refused
to answer questions when sum
moned as the result of charges
that he had prepared secret in
formation for the Soviet EN-
bassy. Fergan 0'Sullivan, anoth-
er journalist accused of similar
offenSeS, made a similar re-
sponSe.
lncessAnt lneifstion
When we read of these Aus
tralian events, we can under
stand anew why the Daily Work
er in New York has been so
Jealous during July in acclaim
ing all those Senators who are
assailing "MeCarthyism' and
why it continues to whip up a
veritable frenzy on that subject.
II is now so bold. because of its
success in turning the United
States Senate topsy-turvy, that it
even declares editorially on July
30 that applause for Syngman
Rhee in Washington was wrung
from Congressman by fear of
"McCarthyite blackmail

the Church existed as Christ or
ganized it. It was the authority
of this visible Church instituted
by Christ which made the selec-
ton of an authentic list and ap-
proved copies of the books ac-
ceptable to Christians. Some
years after Chrisfs death the
Jews brought out their official
version of the old Testament,
rejecting the books of Tobias,
Judith, Wisdom, EcclesiaSticus,
Baruch, | and IL MachabeeS and
parts of Esther and Daniel. Gem
turies later Martin Luther took
this Jewish list and it is still
followed in the Protestant Bible.
In the New Testament too he
rejected some books: the Epistle
to the Hebrews, the EpistIe of
ST. James, the Epistle of st.
Jude and the Apocalypse. These
books have been restored to the
Protestant Bible. The important
thing is that regardless of SIM
ilarity to the Catholic versions
these various Protestant Bibles
are subject to drastic change,
not only in the matter of whole
books but in the case of impor-
tant texts which have been
changed.
q. What does the NCWC mean
IN nea0S items IN the Catholic
Press?
A. In 1919 the bishops of the
United States established the Ma
tional Catholic Welfare Confer
ence. 1t aimed to coordinate the
efforts of Catholics in this coun-
try and to act as a center for
information. The Press Depart
ment of this organization took
over and enlarged some of the
functions of the Catholic Press
Association. The National Catho-
lie News Service gathers news,
pictures, features and other ma
terial from all over the world.
BY 1853 one hundred and twelve
diocesan papers were served by
this agency, with more than five
hundred publications in over
fifty nations included in its serv-
ice.
Q. What is the history of the
shrine of st, Anne near Quebec?
A. 1t was built in 1853 by Bren-
ton sailors who had been saved
from shipwreck through the in
tercession of st. Anne. On the
first day of its construction the
crippled Louis Guimont was
cured and the reported cures at
St. Anne de Beaupre have num-
bered into the thousands since
that time. The basilica is 375
feet long, 200 feet wide and 300
feet high and the shrine altar
has a major relic of st. Anne.
Over twenty million people have
visited the shrine.

ligion and politics. Consequently
the relationship between the
Church and labor was bound to
be correspondingly different in
the two countries.
Soeio-Religious Problems
To understand the reasons for
this, in all their complexity, it
is necessary to study the prob
lem in its concrete historical set
ting, with the emphasis, as Fa-
ther Moody has suggested, on ac-
tual conditions rather than on
distractions. The special import
ance of Father Moody'S Sy1nposi-
um is that it provides us with
a practical demonstration of how
to go about making this type of
factual study of complicated
socio-religious problems.
II is we'll to bear in mind, how
ever, that Father Moody's em-
phaSis on the approach to social
and political problems is a knife
which cuts both ways. 1t applies
to Catholics as we'll as non-C Cath
olics and to the Interpretation
of secular as we'll as Catholic
movements. In other words, If it
is impossible to generalize in a
vacuum about Catholic position
on social and political problems
at any given time and place. it is
also impossible to generalize in
vacuum about secular move
ments, the socialist movement i'm
cluded.
The Catholic attitude with re-
gard to socialism is very clear
from the point of view of abb
stract principles. So fundamental
is the conflict between true"
socialism and Christianity, Pope
Plus XI reminds us in his en-
cyclical "On ReconStructing the
Social Order" that mo one can
be at the same time good
Catholic and a true socialist"
The principles are very clear.
But the application of these
principles D much more diff
cult and MAuch more eomplicat-
ed process than some people
have made it out to be. There is
a tendency in some circles to use
the socialist" label rather loose
ly, without sufficient regard for
the facts. For example, it is
sometimes said in this country
that the British labor movement
is a socialist movement in the
condemned sense of the word.
The fact is that the Bishops of
England have decided otherwise
and have consistently ruled that
the Catholics under their direc-
tion are free to belong to the
British labor party if they so
desire.
Mockery OF Religion
The end result of condemning
secular organizations, in the
name of morality or religion,
without an adequate study of the
facts involved, is to make a
mockery of religion and TO run
the risk of alternating people
from the Church.
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1954-08-20

areas Of the word"-or any and az areas, for that
matter.
The encyclicals of the Popes alone have nio..-
than adequately touched on every phase governing
the application of the moral law to the basic prob
lens of the worlds economy and more than that
as the occasions and situations arise they treat Of
particulars far removed from the basic questions.
That the relevance of the Gospels to basic econ
omy has failed to be demonstrated is just not true
If economic distress does exist and it does certainly
it only be because of the available 'relevance'
Of the Gospels to the situation has never been put
into practice.
