Still another, and perhaps the
saddest reason why the outlook
for peace is not brighter, is that
Soviet Russia, by its conduct
over a long period OF time, has
led everyone TO suspect its ev-
cry move. Even its peace cru
sadeS' have not been for peace.
How. then would one make
peace with Soviet Russia? More
and more people are asking this
question. because they do not see
what reliance could be placed
in any agreement We might
make with Moscow.
The plain answer would seem
TO be that Russia must give some
evidence of its desire for a real
peace.

the fact that so many newspapers
and other influential Spokesmen
for the business community eith-
er overtly or covertly sided with
the plantation owners in their
last-ditch opposition to collective
bargaining for agricultural work
ers, we were not and are not Civ
ing vent to a prejudice against
employers as class. On the con-
trary, as we thought we had
stated clearly in the column to
which our friend has objected so
vigorously, it is our opinion-aS
opposed to the more pessimistic
estimate of employer spokesmen
such as Kiplinger of the famous
Kiplinger Letter-that a large
percentage of American employ
ers honestly and sincerely be-
lieve in trade unionism and col
lective bargaining as necessary
elements in peaceful and pro-
gressive industrial relations.
This opinion is amply confirm
ed by a new book which is un-
doubtedly one of the most inn

years in the field of labor rela-

an NPA committee which was es-
tablished seven years ago to
study the causes of industrial
peace under collective bargain
ing. During that time the COM
mittee has published thirteen
separate volumes on union-man-

goods, food processing, glass,

The studies concerned companies

It is highly gratifying to note
that these thirty firms are only
a small minority of those nomin-
ated for study by the NPA COM

of peaceful labor-management

The purpose of the commit

loose ends of the various case

basis of these studies, series of
general conclusions for the guild

LOUIS F. BUDEM
The ''NOn-Eristent" Threat

Eisler's conviction, other ex-
communists have come forward
to swear to his position as Mos
cows secret representative in
this country. Among these has
been Manning johnson, former
member of the National Com
mittee of the Communist Party.
The extreme measures used by
Moscow TO assure Eisler's escape
from this country after his con-
viction, including the use of the
Polish ship Batory and Red
Czech airplane, prove his import
ance to the Kremlin. These meas
ures confirm my testimony to
the fact that he was not a "refu-
gee" but the leading Soviet Sc
cret agent in the United States.
1t might seem strange at first
that the communists would be
so bold, and some people might
think reckless, IN citing such
a case. But the Soviet fifth coll
un1n is aware of the ease with
which it has induced certain nom
communists to pick up its argu-
mentS and go forward with them.
] have before me copy of the
Mamaroneck, NY. Daily Times
of Dec. IL, containing report
OF the address made in that city
by Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., pro-
feSsor and author. Among many
other things of a like intent,
Mr.. Schlesinger states: THE
threat (of communism is not in
this country, the threat is Soviet
power"
Unfortunately for Mr.. Schles-
niger, that is precisely what Mos
COW now wants Americans TO be-
lieve, as evidenced by its big
barrage about Soviet might" TO
which | referred last week. We
cannot afford to LET down our
guard militarily, but we can face
reality - that the most power
full Soviet weapon is its contin-
ued ability TO mislead our think
ing. And there are too many
like Mr.. Schlesinger, although he
and they may have a different
intent, who aid the communists
toward this end. At least, alert
community leaders can take an
opposite course.

Gated in America are left with
no illusions as to why the elab-
crate arguments are put forth
that there is no internal threat"
from the Reds. II is in order TO
blot out the whole thesis" that
there is a communist conspiracy
i'm the United States. II is, fur
ther, in order TO bring about the
destruction OF all who put for
ward that thesis" To put il
bluntly, the American mind is TO
be poisoned once more-as 1t
has so frequently in the past
by the myth that the conspiracy
does not constitute a threat with
in our borders.
We are TO be persuaded to put
binders on in regard TO the very
operations on which we should
fasten our chief attention
since it is through those opera
tions that the communist line is
so effectively conveyed into
American life.
Many illustrations could be
produced of the distortions which
run through this article for the
Red intellectualS. For our pur-
poses and within our space linn
its, one will suffice. The article
goes so far as to give an eX-
ample of a "frameup' in "the
trial of the German communist
refugee, Gerhart Eisler, based
on the periured testimony of
Louis Budenz." If there is any
more fragrant instance of the Big
Lie than this assertion, il would
be hard to find.

The Communist International
representative. Gerhart Eisler,
was not convicted by my testi-
mony alone. His own sister. Ruth
Fischer. swore TO his long record
of participation IN Red espionage

Documentary evidence was pro-
dueed through the false passport
which he had used under the
forged name of Liptzin, with un-
disputed testimony that the

INQUIRY CORNER
Is Baptism Necessary
For Our Salvation?
INQUIRY CORNER

@. What is the teaching of the
Church concerning unbdpti4ed
infants?
A. Many theologians teach
that they go to a place of nat
ural happiness called Limbo. 1t
is Catholic teaching that an un-
baptized infant cannot go 10
heaven. From an understanding
of the supernatural life and the
words of Christ Himself we know
that no one can enter heaven
without Baptism. John 3:5; Matt
heW 28:19: Mark 1916 An adult
who knows no better can be saw
ed without the actual Sacrament
as were the people of the Old
Testament by baptism of desire.
We have no right TO heaven. IL
is a gift and the easy conditions
named by Christ must be met.
@. What is meant bg the ref
erence to the Spanish Ir1qatiSi-
ton IN recent statement bg q
religious body about congress
toftdI inquiries?
A. The Spanish Inquisition is
accepted, rightly or wrongly, as
a classic example OF tyranny.
The Inquisition investigated and
judged those whom it consider
ed menace to the people and
to all lawful authority and then
turned them over to the civil
court for punishment. Modern
scholarship has shown the exag-
geration of some earlier ac-
counts, but there were abuses of
authority and its value would be
at least doubtful in our time.
The religious body you mention
was not Catholic group, but the
statement represents the consid-
cred opinion of large group
of American Christians. It finds
a more positive counterpart in
the statement of the American
Bishops whose statement on the
Dignity of Man was printed in
the TIMES in the November
9th issue.
Q. A scholarly friend of mine
says that modeSty changes from
age to age and from place 10

Just being stubborn IN cllnganq
10 outnloded and 1ldrroW moral
ldtoS IN regard 10 it.
A. The Catholic Church has
very few regulations or laws re-
garding modesty. Modesty is the
virtue which enables a man to
observe moderation in all things
e.g. in estimating his own worth
in department and in dress"
(Attwater'S Catholic Dictionary.
1t is generally a relative thing
varying from place to place and
from age to age e.g. clothing
suitable for the beach is not suit
able for Church This is not to
say that modesty is relative, nor
even to touch on the deeper vir-
tue Of purity (e.g. as effected by
Christian practice and the mar
riage laws of the church, but
simply to indicate that details
are not absolute. The Catholic
Church does not make laws about

and our relations with Syngman
Rhee of Korea and Chang Kai-
Shek on Formosa. This has
prompted some observers to say
the Western Powers will offer
Soviet Russia a security pact at
the forthcoming Berlin confer
ence. Some writer's carry this
still further and say recognition
OF Red China and admittance of
Red China to the UN will be Of
fered TO Russia as a sort OF APP

closely in this country. Feeling
that Russia must be made to

is our opinion that he misinter-
preted the meaning Of this col
umn, partly because of a mis-
leading headline attached TO il
in one of our subscribing papers.
There was only one issue in
this strike-the right of agrlcul-
turai workers TO organize and
bargain collectively. The strike
was publicly supported by rep
resentatiVe group of Catholic
priests in Louisiana, by the New
Orleans unit of the Catholic Com
mittee of the South, and by many
of the leading Catholic publica-
tions in the United States, in
cluding The Commonweal and
America
In stating our own support of
the strike, we expressed the
opinion that those employers
who made the strike necessary
and their associates who were
egging them on were open to
serious criticism from the point
of view of Catholic social teach
ing. Now that the strike has been
broken, very unlustly by the SUI
perior power of the plantation
owners we are more convinced
than ever that the decent en-
pIoyerS of the United States,
whose name is legion and whose
number is constantly increasing,

workers to take a public stand
against any of their associates
who are still so benighted as TO
deny the right of labor to organ
ize. The decent elements in the
labor movement are rightly ex-
pected TO dissociate themselves
from any of their colleagues who
deny the right TO private prop
erty No less is to be expected of
employers with reference to the
right of labor to organize. for
the latter right is just as 'tnatur-
al and just as important as the
former.

O. When does drinking be-
come a SIN?
A. Excessive eating and drink
ing are sinful because they in
jure the physical and mental
health of the person and involve
or lead to other sins. A person
commits a mortal sin when he
drinks excessively to the point
that he deprives himself of the
use of reason. It would be a ven-
ial sin to drink without modera-
ton even though the person
might still be considered ration
al or sober. When drinking leads
to injury to health, neglect of
the family, scandal or sins such
as those against impurity it is
sinful.
Q. What is "quietism

. statement regarding modern

system "attributing the whole
spiritual life of Christians and
their advance towards virtuc
solely to the action of the de
vine Spirit. to the exclusion and
neglect of the cooperation which
we must provide" He condemns
IT as form of spiritual sIoth,
neglecting our part in cooperat-
ing with Gods grace. Quietisn
would neglect the second half Of

37 Escape Death Miraculously in Crash of Airliner

PRESTON, Conn.,, R-A big four-engine Constellation with 37 aboard fell with a deafening crash from rain-s soaked skies Tuesday, landing in flames on an isolated farm.
 State police reported that all aboard, including a baby, miracu- lously escaped death in the crash itself and the flames that burned furiously for two hours after the crackup.
 A dozen or so were hurt. Off, cials reported none apparently suffer critical injuries.
 The 29 passengers and eight crewmen aboard the Air France plane, flying from Paris to Mexico City via New York, were ordered to a hospital for precautionary checkups.
 One witness reported that the ship, turned back at IdleWild Air port in New York by rain and low ceiling, "came down with a bang"
 Once it hit the rain sodden field, the plane skidded about a half mile, bounced into the air and sheered off the tops of a row of trees.
 Once again, the plane skidded to the ground, one of its wings just missing the home of Valen- tine Sebastian where one of his twin sons was playing on the porch. The ship then ploWed through a small barn.
 Passengers, ordered to fasten their safety belts, screamed as the plane fell. Witnesses reported, however, that there was no panic and the passengers and creWmen quit the flaming ship quickly and in an orderly fashion.

$. Koreans Demonstrate Against Czech, Polish Truce Inspectors

PANMUNJOM, R-South Kor- cans demonstrated against Czech and Polish truce inspectors again Tuesday and the Communists charged that the outbreak consti- tuted a violation of the Korean armistice.
 The expected protest to the demonstrations which began dur ing the weekend was lodged at a meeting of the Military Armistice Commission here.
 The JUN. told the Reds that "all steps have been taken to protect the neutral nations inspection teams and that they are continu- ing their function and inspec- tions."
 North Korean It. Gen. Lee Sang Cho angrily told JUN. dele gates that the demonstrations were staged by people under the military command of your side"
 Earlier Tuesday headquarters of the neutral inspection team at Pusan, scene of a South Korean demonstration Saturday, was sniff ted from a hilltop to a former race track now used as a living area for US. and JUN. officials.
 About 300 Koreans marched for an hour outside the area, shouting for the withdrawal of "Commu- mist spies from the country"
