Red Vietminh Partially Control
International Peace COmmissio
BY Father Patrick o'connor
Society OF ST. Columbian
tcorrespondent. N.c.Wc. News Ssrvicel

SAIGON, Vietnam - The Inter
national Commission for Supervis-
ion and Control in north Vietnam
is itself under close surveillance,
and partly controlled, by the COM
munist Vietminh.
Vietminh guards keep people
from even approaching the Com
missions teams. Vietminh obtsruc-
ton keeps the teams from moving
freely and rapidly. Through its
communist member, the Commits
sion is under constance surveii-
lance, even in its internal working.
It's communist member can slow
down or even veto its decisions.
The Commission has not been a
complete failure. It's membership
includes fair-minded, able men,
who must not be blamed for the
Commissions failures. II is to their
credit that so faulty an institution
has achieved anything.
Thanks to Commission teams,
the Vietminh were obliged to give
exit passes to some 5000 persons
in Phat-Diem. The presence of a
Commission team in a town acts
as a partial restraint on the Wet
mini. II keeps them from flagrant
acts of oppression of which the
Commission would have to take
notice.
Many Of the commisslon's fail
urss are due 10 its composition.
Established by the Geneva Con-
fsrenes. N 10 q typiesI product
Of compromise.
It is composed of three delega-
tions, Indian, Canadian and Pol
ish, appointed by their respective
government. The Polish govern
ment being communist, its delega-
tion is communist, too. So the Com
mission is one-third communist and
pro.Vietminh.
Hence in every headquarters
meeting and in every team, a pro-
Vietminh partisan sits, speaks and
votes. Immediately afterwards, he
reports everything to the Vietminh
organization.
II is notorious that since last
August the Vietminh have been
violating the Geneva agreement
flagrantly in regard to freedom of
movement. The first and only pub
lished rebuke from the Commits
sion on this score was the mild one
released on February 8, regarding
the Balang incidents.
BY imposing on itself a tighter
rule than the Geneva agreement
prescribes, the Commission has CIV
en- its communist de, pro-Viet-
mimi member a veto in any Com
mission dispute.
This does not mean that the
indians and Canadians are silent

Bishop Stresses
Importance OF
OffshOre Islands

TAIPEI, Formosa - NC) - Re-
tention of China's. disputed off
shore islands by the Nationalists
keeps hope alive among the op-
pressed population of the COM
munist-held mainland.
That is the opinion expressed
here by a Bishop who has been
expelled from Red China. He is
Bishop John Baptist Velasco, O.P.,
of Annoy, in whose diocese is locat-
ed one of the most hotly disputed
of the islands, Quemoy.
The Spanish-born prelate has
left Formosa for the Philippines,
where he is in charge of the relig-
iouS welfare of Chinese Catholics,
There are about 100000 Chinese in
the Philippines, 10000 of whom
are Catholics.
Before leaving here, the Bishop
said:
Before | was expelled by the
communists in September, 1883,
| frequently heard people in
Annoy ask how II was that If
fhe communists were IS power
fvI as they claimed, they could
not capture The island of Que
moy, which is within sight of
fhe shore" Communist pFopa-
uanda within China stresses the
overwhelming strength OF the
Red Army.l
The Bishop declared that loss of
the offshore islands would be a
terrible blow to the hopes of the
free Chinese, but not SO terrible
as il would be to the hopes of the
mainland Chinese living under
communist oppression.
Bishop Velasco noted that Cath
olics on Quemoy are still being
served by a priest, Father Joseph
B. Druetto, OF.M., of France.

Missouri Solons
Hear Pros, Cons
On School Bus Bill

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - NC)
Supporters of bill pending be-
fore the Missouri Legislature re-
curing the State to pay the costs
of transporting all children to and
from schools, public, parochial and
private, will be heard in rebuttal
arguments by the public schools
committee on April IL, it was an
nounced here.
The bill provides that funds
should come from general reye-
nues to meet Supreme Court rul-
ing that held public school funds
may be used only for transporta-
ton of public school students.
Former State Senator A. L. Nc
Cawley, who helped draft the bill,
advocated its passage regardless of
cost to the State He said he had
heard it was estimated that the
measure would cost $64-million a
year, but presented figures to show
that the maximum additional cost
would be $19-million. He said the
present transportation system is
spotted" and discriminatory, and
that he believes the State should
not shirk its duty until 1t could
find some money.
Principal arguments of oppon-
ents was that the measure would
infringe upon the policy of COM
plete separation of church and
state - a ground that speakers in
favor of the bill insisted was not
involved.
