q. If usurp is immoral hoW
can Catholics lDork for orqdni-
cations Which charge interest
especially the high rate of in-
tereSt lohsch is charged by GER
tain loan companies?
A. Usury is a word that has
two different usages: lending
money for interest" and "an ex-
orbitant rate of interest" The
second is forbidden by civil law
as we'll as by moral law. Gener-
ally speaking the civil law estab-
liShes the just rate of interest,
for circumstances are different
in our involved financial Situa-
ton than they were in an agri-
cultural society leg. in the Mid
die Ages While there could be
sinful completely in encouraging
people to incur debts which they
will be pressed or unable to pay
il would not seem to be sinful
uSury for Catholic to work for
any organization which abides
by the legal interest rates. Some
loan companies undoubtedly vio-
late the civil and moral law in
this regard and some others may
violate the Christian code of So
cisl justice, but we cannot call
any charging of interest immor-
al.

the best means. Sometimes a
blunt reminder of his duty to
God and to his own soul will
move man to repentance, but
with some others it will make
them resentful and hardened in

with the pastor - or perhaps

1t will come at time when
the United States is about to

some vigorous debate round this

integrity OF the labor movement
and, more specifically, of the
labor press. The fact that unin-
formed or INSCRIPTIONS critics
of labor have exaggerated its
faults for their own anti-union
purposes can no longer be cited
as an excuse for labor's failure to
wash its dirty linen, and to wash
ii in public if necessary.
And over and above the prob
lem of dirty linen-racketeer-
ing, racial discrimination, juris-
dictional squabbling, etc.-there
is the even more important prob
leila of labor's being too sensitive
to legitimate criticism of its own
policies; too prone to exagger-
ate the merits of its own case
and to magnify the faults of the
opposition. This lack of matur-
ity is particularly evident in
some of labor's periodicals, which
do not even pretend to give both
sides of controversial questions.
In this respect, the labor press
is no different from the official
press of many influential busi-
ness organizations. But two
wrongs don't make a right. The
time has come for both groups
unions and employers associ-
ations-to make good examina-
tion of conscience and to amend
their ways accordingly.
No Sacred Cows
Neither group is sacred COW;
neither can expect to be immune
from criticism. They are both an
Swerable, not only to their own
constituents but to the general
public as well. They are both
living in glass houses; eonSe-
quently, they ought to stop
throwing stones at one another
in the form of partisan propa-
ganda. Or. to put it another way,
they ought to start thinking more
about their duties and less about
their rights. For the surest way
tn forfeit the latter is to neglect
to fulfill the former.

RICHARD PATTEE
Arab Refugees

because they. were cast out of
their homes in Palestine at the
time Israel was created. The
argument is sometimes advanced
that this is all very well, but
that the best thing would be for
the Palestinians to make the best
of the mess and settle in any one
af the Arab countries where
there is space and a chance for
the future.
There are various difficulties
confronting such a solution. The
first is that many left their
homes assuming that they would
return; and since they have lived
in Palestine for centuries, no
other place is home. 1t is as
though a resident of Baltimore
were tossed out of his home and
after spending years in camp
in, let us say, Scotland, was told
he could go to some other Eng
disappearing country such an
British Honduras and live there.
Such q step might be theoret-
ically possible, but the Palestin-
an-especially the Palestinian
Christian-haS not even remote
desire to try to settle in Yemen
or Saudi Arabia where the at
moSphere and outlook are totally
different from anything he has
ever known. The most forceful
argument is that these Palestin.
ianS want to go home. And home
is Palestine, and no other place.
Doomed TO Exist on Charity
The Lebanese government has
received many of these refugees.
So .e can work in jobs that do
not require an official labor per-
NIT. But Lebanon is made up of
a delicately balanced assortment
of religious groups. The influx of
thousands of Palestinians, either
CHI stians or Moslems, can very
easily upset this equilibrium
which is the basis of the polit-
ical divisions of the nation.
Moreover, the existence of the
refugee problem is standing
argument for Arabs with respect
to injustice they allege was COM
mitted against them in turning
Palestine over to Israel. If the
problem disappeared, it would
be tacit acceptance of the exist
enee of Israel-an attitude which
the Arabs are not at all disposed
TO take.
If one looks to the future

and destined to live and die un-
der conditions not of their own
choosing. One cannot but feel
profound sense of pity and com
passion for these unfortunstes
wko run the risk of becoming the
forgotten of this world. II is to
be hoped that, even in a, world
made callous by misery and
calamity, there is still a place in
the hearts of men from which a
ray of hope can come to these
thousands, who have been eject
ed from their ancestral land and
doomed to exist IN the charity

wire, land mines and machine
guns which make up the Iron
Curtain in middle Europe; end
the colonial status imposed upon
communist satellites; break up
the network of communist sub
version and espionage which the
Reds have extended round the
world.
Even the most Sanguine would
hardly expect all of those things
to be accomplished at the ap-
preaching meeting. 1t is not too
much to expect, however, that
something will be done about
Germany, As a matter of fact,
what the Soviet Union is willing
to do about the unification of
Germany and the holding of free
elections in that country could
well be the measure of the Ge-
neva meetings success.
Moscow has adopted the smile,
ii is believed, because it was no
longer getting anywhere with
the frown and the fist. Through
a more pleasing demeanor, it is
felt, she expects to throw the
West off guard, lead the west
ern nations to relax their yigi-
lance and their defenses, and
possibly to get them to differ
among themselves.
1t is conceded that all OF these
things could very we'll happen,
given time. Perhaps it is a for
tunate thing that Russia is call
ed upon so soon to prove her

Many warnings have been
sounded here and abroad that
the communists, in putting on
the smile, are only adopting
new tactic. Their objective is the
same as it has always BEEN
world domination by commun-
ism-and their dedication to its
achievement just as great. The
top Reds, although they were
much more pleasant in aspect
than were Stain and Lenin, con-
ceded nothing to the West at the
recent summit meeting, it was
pointed out.
The Administration here has
indicated that it is aware of this
fact. President Eisenhower has
said that the purpose of the
summit" meeting he took part
in at Geneva was to establish a
spirit of goodwill with which it
was hoped world problems could
be approached. Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles has
said the forthcoming Foreign
Ministers meeting will put this
new spirit to the test.
Administration Spok $ m n
have indicated some of the things
Soviet Russia can do to show its
goodwill. These include:
Termination of the unnatural
division of Germany and agree
ment to free elections in that
country; agreement to an ade-
quate inspection system to per

ments race; removal of barbed
