In fac, the Catholic school sys-
tenn is sometimes treated in public
schools and in training schools and
colleges for public school teachers
as if no other than the public
school system existed" Msgr.
oJeary said.
The educators short address to a
sectional meeting of the NEA gath
ering stressed similarities between
public and private school systems
in meeting the challenge to safe
guard and respect the diversity of
their student population, within
and under the unifying bonds of
American democracy"
Catholic parish schools educate
the public in many similar ways as
do the public schools" Msgr.
oIeary said.
Both accept children of the rich
and of the poor, of different races,
national and other cultures, chill
dren of varying intellectual and
physical ability, and even in Ca
tholic schools of different relig.
ions"
Religious Character
Covering some high points Of
Catholic educational philosophy,
Msgr. OIeary explained the Ca
tholic schools work in forming the
religious character of youth and
migrating this religious training
into subjects of the curriculum.
He declared that although the
two school systems enjoy the
friendliest relations in a number
Of localities, "our Catholic schools
are too often not understood by
public school people"
1t is unfortunate this exists,
Msgr. oLeary continued, adding
that great efforts are being made
by administrators of Catholic
schools to avoid this mistake.
IF you will examine Catholic
schools readers such as the Faith
and Freedom series of readers, you
will find excellent orientation for
Catholic school children to under
stand and appreciate their friends
in public schools" he told his au-
dience.
Citing several cases in his own
experience where public and pri-
vate schools have cooperated in diff
ferent projects, the Monsignor
praised such efforts as resulting in
better knowledge, understanding
and appreciation Of the purposes

ucation :"

RIO DE JANEIRO - NC)-
An air of expectancy, accom-.
panied by intense last-minute
preparations, pervaded this
city of 100000 inhabitants,
as the time neared for the solemn
opening of the 36th international
Eucharistic Congress. The congress
will be held under the shadow OF
the Christ of Corcovado, the great
statue of the Redeemer that towers
above the capital, July 1924.
Hundreds of workers this week
we're putting the finishing touches
on the huge altar at Congress
Square on Guanabara Bay, where
the Pontifical Masses and other
solemnities will take place in the
second international Eucharistic
tribute to take place in a South
American country.
Local newspapers, which have
given much publicity to the Con.
gress, have. estimated that a
crowd of over a million will par.
fieipate. Visitors are expected 10
include some 10000 Americans.
The Congress will see the great
est array of ecclesiastical digni-
taries ever assembled in Latin
America, including twenty-one Car.
dinals and some 800 Archbishops
and Bishops.
The Liturgical Commission of the
Congress has already prepared 400
extra altars in the hundreds of
Rios churches and chapels so that
the visiting Bishops and priests
may offer the Sacrifice during the
great week-long event.
Meanwhile, the city itself,
crowned by an abundance OF
natural beauty, has taken on an
unusually festive aspect.
Rio de Janeiro, as the capital
of the most populous Catholic
country in the world, hailed with
enthusiasm its designation as the
site of the Eucharistic Congress.

Argentine
Catholics
Cautious
Adopt Wait and See
Attitude on PerOn

BUENOS AIRES - (NC) -
After eight months of drama
and turmoil, the Church-state
situation in Argentina seems
to have entered new and
caImer wait and see" phase.
The Peron regimes active per-
secution of the Church in Argen-
tina has given way to a state of
truce, but Catholic leaders have
still to be convinced that this will
be followed by real peace.
This cautious attitude was re-
fIected in a pastoral letter issued
by His Eminence Santa 20
Luis Copello, Archbishop of Buenos
Aires, and ordered read at Sunday
Masses in all the churches of the
country.
The Cardinal declared that
"peace and harmony among our
citizens is our greatest aspira-
tion," but he warned: These noble
longings for union and peace can
only be realized if the causes
which have created discomfort and
have divided our citizens are elm
mated from among us.
Cardinals Pastoral
Apparently ANXIOUS to avoid CIV
ing the Feron regime any pretext
for reviving its anti-Church cam
paign, the Cardinal repeated an in
struction of last December in
which he said "the faithful should
not participate in acts purporting
to be of religious nature if they
have not been previously approved
by Church authorities"
The Cardinals pastoral was the
second since the June Is revolt.
Shortly after its release, howev-
er, groups of Catholics staged
anti-Peron demonstrations on two
successive days.
On Argentine independence Day
July 81 several thousand persons
marched through the streets chant
ing anti-Person slogans. Church au-
thorities, fearing demonstration,
had earlier called off the tradition
al Independence Day TIE Deum in
the cathedral here. The following
day another demonstration was
held by people coming out of the
Cathedral. Scores of arrests were
made.
The Cardinals pastoral was is
sued a few days after President
Juan D. Peron had broadcast ma
tionwide address offering an "open
hand" to political opponents.
The President made no refer
ence whatever to his campaign
against the Church, despite the fact
that two days earlier Cardinal Co

Senate Rebuff
Tells Mccarthy
How He Rates

Senate Democrats killed two birds
with one stone last week, after Sen
ator Joseph r. Mccarthy. Repub-
lican, of Wisconsin, himself one of
the birds, supplied the weapon.
These things were accomplished:
Q The Mccarthy wing Of the Sem
ate was demonstrated to consist
only of the Senator and two friends.
Q The Senate made it clear that
American efforts at the Big Four
conference would not be sabotaged
by Congress.
Senator Mccarthy started it all
when he asked the Senate to 60 on
record as opposing any meeting at
the summit" unless Soviet Russia
agreed first to discuss the satellite
problem. Undersecretary Of State
herbert Hoover, jr.. told the For
elgn Relations Committee such q
resolution would tie the Presidents
hands and might block the confer
ence, as all countries had agreed
to keep the agenda open.
The Wisconsin Senator said he
didn't want the conference held
anyway.

minority, wanted to table the Nc

Nehru's Pilgrimage

For Is days India's Prime Min
lister Jawaharlal Nehru has roamed
the length and breadth Of the So
Wet Union, looking into literally
millions Of beaming Soviet faces.
On both governmental and "the
peoples" level, he was smothered
with kindness. He ended his stay
Thursday in an atmosphere of
sweetness and light such as Moscow
has not seen at least since 1917. He
even got to see q Soviet atomic
power plant, the first foreigner to
do so to the worlds knowledge.
The Five Principles
If wishing can make it so, as Mr..
Nehru apparently believes, the path
to peace has been smoothed as q
result Of his pilgrimage. He sue
ceeded in enmeshing the Kremlin
in his web Of platitudes, now called
the five principles" They were
first proclaimed to the world by Mr..
Nehru and Red Chinese Premier
Chou En-1ai last summer.
They are: (1) Mutual respect for
each others territorial integrity and
sovereignty; (2) nonaggression; CD
noninterference in each others in
ternal affairs for any reason-eco-
nomic, political or theological; (4)
equality and mutual benefit, and
(5 peaceful coexistence.
After many encounters across the
diplomatic tables of the world, the
United States knows that these
pious generalities are only masks
for the Soviet Unions greed. Mr..
Nehru presumably knows this, too.
But he has great faith in the power
of his own faith. He thinks that
Marshal Nikolai Bulganin's sigma
ture on a communique expressing
these platitudes will inhibit the
Kremlin when it tries to violate
them. Faith alone has not sue
ceeded noticeably in the past.
KremIin's Come
While Mr.. Nehru was very sue
ceSSIul In MS llCCle game, the krem-
lin was playing one Of its own. It
emphasized before the world three
things:
. The Russian people have a soft
spot in their hearts for "peace-lov-
ing peoples" like the Indians-in
fact, for all foreigners.
. Soviet magnanimity is of the
same warp and woof as the Ameri-
can. as witness Kremlin technical
assistance to India, which was
widely acclaimed.
. Soviet leaders are laying the
groundwork for infiltrating India, q

Governments in Trouble

Governments in two Of the
worlds middle sized nations, Ar
gentina and Italy, were in trouble
last week.
In Buenos Aires, it seemed that
Dictator Juan D. Peron. recently
communicated by the Vatican.
had, with some difficulty, returned
once again to his old position
astride the volatile forces in his
government.
In Rome, however, Premier Scel-
ba was deposed and Italy was en-
barked on what probably would be
a long search for his successor.
Peron on Top
Gen. Peron, some deduced early
last week, had been in danger OF
losing his pre-eminent position in
Argentina to army chief Of staff,
Gen. Franklin Lucero. But as the
week wore on the f1imsy evidence
that Peron had been denoted Che
skipped Flag Day ceremonies, his
pictures disappeared from news
paper photos and Gen. Lucero's had
been unusually prominent) col
lapSed.
Peron's old cabinet resigned
Thursday so that Peron could pick
a new slate, no doubt more loyal"
than the last. There were indica-
tions at the same time that the re-
gime's pressure against the Catho-
lie church was being eased.
The Argentine Navy, which had
instigated the revolt in the wake
of the Vatican's excommunication
Of Peron, was still AWoL. But 1t
was not considered q serious threat
to Peron's position.
His main problem, obviously, will
be to keep the respect of his 95-
percent Catholic country now that
he has been accommodated.
Scelbo Folls
In Italy, Premier Scelba's gov
ernment fell because Of pickering
within his own coalition, not be-
cause Of O non-confidence vote in
the Lower House. Land tenancy
and other issues had split his own
Christian Democrats.
