Father Hedley.

Q. Isn't it necessary to tell
O "luhite lie" sometimes rather
than offend someone or hurt his
feelings? Aren't there occasions
iohen the truth auoltld cause
unnecessary trouble and loss TO
everyone concerned and petty
tie mould do no one dny harm?
A. 1t is never necessary to do
anything sinful. No matter how
obvious it may seem that only
good can come from an action
ii is an evil action il it is for
hidden by the Commandments of
God. A white lie" is a lie and
while good intentions and the
petty nature of the matter may
reduce the seriousness of the sin
il is still a sin to tell one. We
may make evasive replies when
the whole truth is not necessary
and might be harmful or often
Sive. Such replies when there is
proportionate reason simply
allow the listener to draw his
own conclusions, either leaving
him confused or allowing him to
take one of two possible mean
ings, The virtue of prudence
calls for care in speech as in
other things, so there must be
care in speaking and in know
ing when TO keep silent and
when to avoid a direct answer.
@. When a group of adults
enjoy conversation which may
include some so-cdlled dirty
stories is it really sinful Vhen
no one is influenced By them in
any eUI i0ay lie. no young peo-
pie are present, etc.
A. Telling or listening to stories
which violate the Sixth Com
.mandment is sinful. Adults are
scarcely exempt from the Com
mandment or from the moral law
which requires us to avoid the
occasions of sin. While an in
decent story may not result in
any immediate or obvious sin,
and group of adults may laugh
without any apparent evil in
tention, no one can predict the
later results. A story which ridi-
cules purity, marriage or vio-
lates the modest reserve which
protects purity is sinful even if
it does not lead to any impure
action. 1t is true that the grav-
ity of the sin is increased by the
number of people present and
the danger of inducing any of
them to sin, but the telling of
stories which are definitely i'm
pure is a serious sin. Sometimes

effective journalists in the Unit
e.. States.
Father MaSse is in favor of la
Dor unity for several reasons,
but principally, it would seem,
because he thinks it is likely to
promote or at least facilitate the
development of the so-called In
dustry Council Plan in the Unit
ed States. 1T would seem to be
easier" he says, 'to fit united
labor movement into an occupa-
tional-group setup-at least on
the national level-than to have
to accommodate two rival organ
izations. This aspect of the mer-
ger, which went unnoticed in the
press, will not escape the atten-
tion of Catholic Sociologists and
economists. BY and large they
probably welcome labor unity as
a step toward a more self-govern-
ing, cooperative industrial So
ciety."
The final sentence in this ex-
cerpt from Father Masses edit
orial is the one in which we are
particularly interested for the
purposes of this column. II ac-
cepted as an accurate statement,
it has more or less direct bear
ing on question now being
widely discussed: whether or not
American Catholics are to be
classified as conservatives" in
the echnical sense in which this
word is currently being lsed in
whole Spate of books in the field
of social and political philosophy.
Theory Practice
This question has been ans
wera affirmatively in at least two
of these books. The ConSerU-
atiUe Mind by Russell Kirk, and
Conservatism IN America by
Clinton Rossiter. According to
Professor Kirk, as previously not
ed in an earlier release of this
column, Catholicism is 'inately
conservative" from which il fol-
lows that catholics, above all
others, should be conservatives"
Similarly, Professor Rossiter con-
eludes that sfhe political theory
of Catholicism, even as shaped
to the realities of American life
and dictates of the American
tradition, remains an essentially
Consels ative body of principles"
To explain what the term
conservatism" means to these two
authors would take a great deal
more space than we have at our
disposal in this column. Suffice
il to say that. in theory, appar-
emily IT means more or less the
81 le thing to both of them: but
in practice or application. it
means one thing to Mr.. Kirk and

itles are cropping up, even
though the Kremlin has shown
no tendency toward that good
faith which Washington has
said must be condition for any
such negotiations. ("
That the Soviet dictatorship
can never genuinely act in good
faith" because of its determine
tion to achieve the world Soviet
dictatorship, is brought to our
attention again by the current
international Red directives.
The Ne0 Times of February 26,
published in Moscow for the. in
struction of the Communists of
the world, gives orders for wide
spread psychological warfare to
soften up" the United States.
Its arguments are all based on
the continued Red assumption
that any gain for Soviet aggres-
elon is a move toward lasting
peace"
Bra1en Declarations
The Moscow organ solemnly
emphasizes the Five principles"
enunciated for propaganda pur-
poses by Soviet Russia and Red
China last October. TO read these
principles" should be enough
TO reveal to anyone the trickery
involved in them. For they pro-
elai with a straight face, that
the Soviet bases its relations with
other countries on "non-aggres-
sion. non.interference in one an
others internal affairs, equality

quite another to MIR. Rosslter. To
cite but one example out of the
many planks in the Conservative
creed, it means to both of them,
in theory, that governments
role in economic life is a Subsid-
iary role. Both authors would
undoubtedly agree with Pope
Plus XI when he says, in defin-
ing this subsidiary role of gov
ernment, that sit is an injustice
and at the same time a grave evil
and disturbance of right order to
assign to greater and higher
association what lesser and sub.
ordinate organizations can do"
So much for the theory. In
the application of this theory,
however, the two professors are
poles apart from one another.
Take the subject of unions as a
specific and very practical case in
point. Professor Kirk is extremely
critical of American trade un-
ionism. In general, he says, its
record sis infinitely disappoint-
ing" and, to large extent,
has comoted the growth of coli
lectiyism in the United States.
Broad Question
Professor Rossiter (wh0, inei-
dentally, says that Kirk has now
begun t. sound like man born
one hundred and fifty years too
late and in the wrong country')
is sympathetic to the cause of
American trade unionism. An
essential plank in the future pro.
gram of the American Conserva-
tive, he says, must be not only
the acceptance" but the "inte-
grafton" of unions.
BY the 'integration" of unions
he apparently means, in Father
Masses Technology, that our
present system of collective bar
gaining ought to be expanded
and that unions ought to be
given a major role in "a more
Self-governing cooperative indus
trial society" Although he does
not say so explicitly, there is rea-
son to believe that he would
agree with Father Masse that la.
Dor unity is, potentially at least,
a step in this direction,
II would be a fair guess that
Professor Kirk, while prepared to
accept the existence of unions in
the United States, is not too hap
py at the prospect of their COM
ing together in single fedora
tion If their performance is
now infinitely disappointing" to
him, presumably it will be even
more disappointing Gf, indeed, it
is possible for anything to be
more than infinitely" disap-
pointing) once they have moved
into single federation.
In view of all this, the ques-
tion recurs: Are American Cath
olies to be classified as Conserv-
atiyes? Perhaps the question is
too broad. Narrow it down, then,
to Catholic economists and sociol-
ogists as one segment of the Ca
tholic population. Are the men,
bers of this group to be classi-
fled as Conservatives?
This is a big question. Our only
purpose in raising it is to sound
word of caution about the
vagueness and ambiguity of the
word Conservative. 1t is banded
about much too careIessly al

tholies prematurely.
