sort the only final answer must
come from the Catholic himself,
after he has considered his own
time md talent, prayer for guild
ance and sought advice. The vir-
tue of prudence should regulate
the amount of time a Catholic
should spend on various activi-
ties. apart from his clear-cut
duty to his family. In his en-
cyciical on "Atheistic Commun-
ism" Pope Plus XII spoke of the
need of adult education: 1T is
necessary with all care and dill
igence to procure the widest pos
sible diffusion of the teachings
of the Church, even among the
working classes" He further
states that this task of forma-
tion i. will assuredly be served
by study circles, conferences,
lecture courses, and the various
other activities" He wrote vol
umes on Catholic Action and
the need for jealous Catholic
lsymen to carry on the activities
necessary for restoring all
things in Christ" in our society.
Devoted Catholic men and wom-
en- have always found time for
Catholic Action without neglect
ing their other duties. But not
every Catholic can carry on ex-
tensive projects outside the
home. Ask the priest in confes-
sion for advice.

A. We do not know the state

tial part of the agreement by
which this country granted rec

Apparently there was some
warning here that Russia would
seek some sort of reprisal if the
United States refused to allow
Archbishop Boris to remain here.
But, the authorities felt that
they had to refuse the request
for visa extension.

tested vigorously" to Moscow
that the expulsion of Father
BiSsonnette should not be invOIv-
ed in any way with the case of
Archbishop Boris. The expulsion
of the American priest, this Gov
ernment says, involves the Lit
yinov agreement of 1888. Russia
has replied that, by the expul-
sion of Father -BiSsonnette, it has
not meant to terminate the 1888
agreement
Thus it has continued to be
what it was from the beginning,
political tussle between two

200 American Catholics in Mos

MONSICNOR HIGGINS
Right To- Work La1Us

Under the ''no-raiding" agree
ment, no other union may take
them should they wish to trans
fer allegiance. The only "out"
is to decertify the union and
abandon union protection, except
for the doubtful aid of an i'm
dependent union with meager
resources.
Least Unionixed Areas
Several things might be said
about the labor monopoly argu-
ment. In general, monopolies
have not Jared too we'll in the
United States. Where costs are
too high, we have generally been
successful in finding alternate
and ch eaper ways of getting
things done. The "do-it.yourseh
movement" is one example of a
successful reaction to high costs
of labor. With only one-quarter
of the working force organized
into unions, ii is rather doubtful
that any labor monopoly is in
prospect.
Moreover, the, areas which
have right-to-work laws are the
least unionized in the Units d
States. Far from facing the
danger of a labor monopoly.
these states could more rightly
be concerned with low wages,
long hours, and poor working
conditions. II is most unlikely
that right to work laws would
pass in heavily unionized, indus
trial states where, if anywhere, a
labor monopoly might be feared.
But the final answer to these
fears is that abuses should be
attacked directly, not handled by
laws which in effect hinder all
union organization. If present
laws are not adequate to protect
the rights of union members
against occasional abuses, we
will gladly support stronger laws
which meet the need. But the
experience of Prohibition should
teach us that we do not cure
abuses by trying TO abolish some
thing which is good in itself.
Not all the mail favored the
laws under discussion. Several
correspondents noted with praise
an excellent article by Father
Leo Brown, S.J., in the March,
1855, issue of Social Order Fa-
ther Brown stressed the element
of labor mobility in many Amer
lean industries. Unless a way is
found to stabilize union-manage-
ment relations, he noted, indus
try will be facing the constant
turmoil which often accompanies
union organizing campaigns. The
union shop does bring stability
into this situation.
In dealing with complex social
problems, we must always keep
in mind the broad situation and
the general common good. No
formula can be found which gives
perfect justice to everyone in
every situation. The union move
ment is not perfect; no human
institution is. But it has procured
a greater measure of justice for
labor than any method found so
far. And it did this without i'm.
pairing the highest living stand
ard in the world today.

A lady called me the other day
to tell me that she had been pres
ent in a group of women when
the subject of Social Security
came up. She said that she was
the only member who had any
children the others were
young married women but child
less. She was much hurt at the
attitude displayed as these women
were most critical of "Old Age
and Survivors Insurance" She
told me that it really hurt her to
hear these women refer to our
program as being designed for
old people and they didn't see
why people in their age group
should have to pay the bill. Fin
ally, she couldn't stand it any
longer, so she spoke up and told
them of her own case - she was
a widow with five children-the
oldest was 9 at the time of her
husbands demise.
From what she told me she
really told them off. She told
them that when her husband died
he left her less than $500 in cash
and a home on which there was a
mortgage of $4,000. There was no
insurance policy Che had always
wanted to buy one but the child
rem came too fast). AS their three
youngest children were under S
years of age there was no pos
Sibility of her finding a job-she
was needed at home. How to
make ends meet seemed to be an
inSurmountable problem.
She filed her claim for Old
Age and Survivors insurance and
you can imagine her state of mind
when she learned that she would
receive $500 a month for several
years.
Life was still a problem for her
as 1t was difficult to make ends
meet. But, as she said, "I'd have
been sunk if it hadn't been for the
$500 a month / got from Social
Security. I'd probably have lost
our home"
