His Holiness Pope Plus XII to the
Catholics of Switzerland, gathered
at Fribourg for their tenth Katho-
likentag national Catholic conven-
tom. The Holy Father spoke in
French, German and Italian, the
three official languages of the Al
pine country in the heart of Eu-
rope.

pagan and materialistic ciyiliza-

They attacked it and finally con-
quered, thanks to their obstinate
tenacity and through great sacri-
fices. Initiate them!"
The Pontiff counseled that the
true Christian believes in proyi-
dence and is unswayed by the
looming dangers from the new ac-
complishments of science. There
fore, he added, in a spirit of Chris

we place our entire future"

pafernaI interest goes TO those
in particular who are in public
life. He urged them TO give your
brothers and sisters an example
Of pure love for the Church."
The Holy Father also urged
Swiss Catholics to battle for up
holding the highest values of ira
ditional Christianity against the
current tidal. wave of materialism.
The Pontiff made it clear that
material progress, brought about
through research and exploitation
of natural resources, is approved
by the Church "even in its princi-
pies" but he added this warning:
when material progress is not
counterweighted by powerful re-
ligious and moral forces, it threat

society"

Fight To Gust
Kentucky Nuns

LOUISVILLE, KY, NC)-Cafho-
lie Sisters should be barred from
Kentucky public schools even "if
they are not promoting their faith
at all in any way" a Protestant
committee urged in a legal brief
filed here.
The brief stated that teaching
nuns may promote their Faith "by
subtle ways Of dress, practice, re-
ligious names and gentle sugges-
tions now and then"
1t added that whether or not the
nuns do this, ''there would still be
no injury to anyone whatever if
the court left no room for reason
able doubt by enjoining them of
our free public schools"
The brief was filed in Franklin
Circuit Court here by lawyer
Eugene Siler, representing the Ken
lucky Free Public School Com
mittee. this states affiliate of Pro-

Movie Moguls
Are Reminded
OF Obligations

NEW YORK = NC) - Movie
producers we're warned that moves
toward '.unbridled license" for
films only invite censorship and
"incite public condemnation.
In an annual report to the movie
men, Eric Johnston, Motion Picture
Association president, also stress
ed that no compromise can be
made on the moral principles set
forth in the Motion Picture Pro
duction Code, Hollywood'S self
regulation system. He added,
however, that certain Code regula-
tions dealing with contemporary
manners, fashions and customs"
are subject to change.
Mr.. Johnston said that producers
who refuse self-regulation are
"derelict in their obligations to the
public"
"lf is an easy mistake to re-
gard those who press for On.
bridled license as champions of
originality and creafiveness," the
Johnston report said. "BUf there
Is nothing romantic or artistic
about those who reject self-resv-
lsticn in favor OF open warfare
against public morality"
He said that 1.-The few who ignore
seIf-restraint (aS defined by the
industry's Production Code) invite
governmental censorship and incite
public condemnation"
He added that an overwhelming
number of film makers recognize
their responsibility to the public
they serve"
Speaking of the Code itself, Mr..
Johnston said: "The moral princi-
Piles and ethical standards set forth
in the Code are based on moral
principles with which no compro-
mise should be made.
"These moral principles are the
essence and substance of the Code
and they should not be confused
with the Codes regulations dealing
with contemporary manners, fash
ions and customs. Such regulations
are subject to discussion and
change. They have been changed
before and can be changed in the
future in the light of progress and
experience.

Request Hit By
PakistanPape

KARACHI, PakiStan - NC) -
Pakistan's sole Catholic paper has
criticized local Urdu paper for a
demand that the government pro-
hibit the propagation of Christian
ity in this country.
The Moslem daily predicted that
economic and military assistance
from the United States to Pakistan
would spearhead a drive for con-
verts to Christianity. The paper
voiced alarm against "Catholic and
American missionaries keenly en-
gagged in converting innocent Mos
lens to Christianity" and requested
the government to take practical
steps to stop this mischief"
Attacking these views the Chris
tan Voice declared that the picture
of innocent Moslems" being Seduc-
ed into a remuneration of Islam
runs counter to the experience of
Christian missionaries in Moslem
lands.
Such converts from Islam as
there are in pakistan, the paper
pointed out, are men who have
made their choice as matter OF
sincere religious conviction.
Most of them, the paper added.
have espoused Christianity in the
face of social ostracism, the ALI
enatlon OF their friends and fam
lilies and fhe danger Of physical
violence.
The Christian Voice concluded:
IF Christianity has been granted
the fundamental right of freedom
of worship, why should there be
objection if they exercise an exten-
sion of that right-the freedom to
make neophyteS by intellectual per-
suasion?"

Court Upholds
Paddock Law
Against Reds

MONTREAL - NC)-By 4to-1
decision, the Quebec Court of Ap-
peals has upheld the Quebec prov
ince paddock law which operates
against communism.
The law permits police to pad
lock premises which have been
used for communist activities. The
Court of Appeals ruled that the
law deals with property and civil
rights, matters which fall under
provincial jurisdiction.
The legality of the law was ques-
toned by John Switzman. Premis-
es he had rented were padloeked
under the law in January, 1949 and
Mrs. Freda Elgin, owner of the
property, sued him for So, ITO
which she maintained was rent due
by Switzman until May, 1850.
The four judges who voted the
law valid we're Justices j. L. ST.
jacques, Anne Marchand, Bernard
Bissonnette and Edouard Rinefret.
Justice Gregor Barclay dissented.
Justice Bissonnette said one of
the principal attacks on the law
was that it did not contain any
definition of communism. He stat
ed in the majority opinion:
rs it necessary to define treas
on, war, pestilence, famine or fire?
When a doctrine has as its objec-
tive the destruction of the Chris
tian religion, and at the same
time, the structure of the State,
the least that can be said is that
it is a national danger
Communism is the expression
of a subtle atheism and the free
dom of expression which would be
allowed If the law did not exist,
not only in this province but in
Christian country, would only
serve as liberation of dangerous
enemy which has no other purpose
than to provoke a revolution"

According to Luke Z. Hart, Su.
preme knight of the Knights of
Columbus, the Pledge of Allegiance
to the Flag was originated by Fran
els Bellany of Rochester, NY,
who was associated with The
Youths Companion, a popular mag.
azine for young people. The pledge
was recited for the first time at a
Columbus Day rally in 1893.
The idea of having the pledge
changed so as to give recognition
TO God originated with fhe
Knights of Columbus, according
TO Mr.. Hart, and then was taken
up by other frsternaI. patriotic,
religious and similar organiza-

Mr.. Rabaut first introduced his
