ition. Just as the appearance Of
Our Lady at Fatima was real
even though some did not see
the vision at all, 50 the true in
cidents involving such cosmic
happening are real even though
they exist only in the area OF
the ones who tell of the visions
(Josue, witnesses at Fatima).
Q. Why are Catholics m Span
so intolerant of other religious?
II is hard to explain to Protest
ant friends 10ho sag that's The
wdg the Church ,uould be here
If it had a chance
A. In the first place we should
be care ul in attributing political
or civil decisions to Catholics or
to the Catholic Church. In most
of the so-called Catholic Coun-
tries" the Catholic Church or
even representative Catholic men
have had little to do with polit-
ical decisions or even civil law
for a hundred years or more.
Iany abuses credited to "Catho-
lie" governments are not asso-
ciated with the Church at all.
People do not speak of the "Prot-
estant" government of countries
even when they have an official
established religion as England
does. While there may be points
of valid criticism in regard to
Spai1's political situation and its
attitude toward Protestant relig-
ious activities we should be slow
to judge. Judging by a recent
poll a majority of American
Protestants are intolerant in that
they would not vote for Catho-
lie as president even if he were
otherwise we'll qualified. Do we
have no racial intolerance here!
Is this attitude taken toward help
to Catholic schools in America an
example of religious tolerance?
Spanish law is not a fair guide
to a judgment of American law If
Catholics we're to have greater in
fluence in America. The toler-
ance for all religions in Ireland
would be one outstanding proof to
the contrary.

9. VIII ne be like the angels
after the resurrection?
A. We shall have glorified
bodies with many of the quail
ties and advantages possessed by
the angels, but they will still be
our bodies. st. Paul points out,
For THIS CORRUPTIBLE must
put on interruption, and THIS
MORTAL must put OIL immortal
ity." Il Corinthians 1853 We
find this truly taught and believ-
ed by all Christians as expressed
in the Apostles Greed c'resur-
rection of the body'') and even
implied in the book of Job
1920. st. Thomas teaches that
just as our bodies remain our
bodies, the same bodies, through
out our lives even though the
component elements have been
replaced, so after the resurrec-
ton we shall have "our" bodies,
even though they will not be
composed of the exact same ele-
ments as before.

A. In the words of the angel

God who created the whole uni
verse and the order in which it
moves with all the mechanism
involved can rearrange it as He
pleases. II is likely, however
that the miracle described in
Josue refers only to the observa-
tion of the chosen people i.e the
sun itself was not affected but
the miracle was worked only in
the particular area involved. The
same would be true of Fatima.
The great number of witnesses
10000 including sceptics Of all
kinds, for it had been predictedD

II was at the Last Supper that Christ spoke TO
te disciples the prophetic reassuring words around
which Sundays Gospel centers: A little while ana
you shall see Me no longer. and again little while
and you shall see Me f" Literal fulfillment of the
prophecy came His crucfixon and death oc
CURED the very next day taking Him from the sight
OF His disciples, but it was only few days more
when they saw Him again, in His glorious Resurrec-
ton. They would grieve at His departure, but their
sorrow would be turned to JOY, He promised them,
at His victory DEATH JOY mo one shall take
from you"
All of this was TO come to pass "in little while"
and it did to pass in few days, but they were
days OF gtupend3us events, opening the gates of
heaven to fallen man, and thus bringing the life
of the spirit TO all who could believe and love and
obey the Savior
For the Christian today the lesson OF The mes
sage recorded in Sundays Gospel is the as IT
was for the disciples who heard it from the lips
of the Master Only "a little while" must we bear
the hardshps of life, the affronts of the world
til we see Him and have our sorrows turned into
joy" and for that little while we have the assur
ance of His friendship and His almighty power to
sustain and strengthen The days and the years
may seem to be long, but how inconsequental is
their span by compar son with the eternity for
which they are preparation Having in mind the
Savor'S promise that Il will see you again, and
your heart will rejoice, and your Joy shall
take from you" how can we grow weary, dis
hesrtened, afraid? He who performed endless mir
acles to prove His divine power, and Who endured
death on the cross to prove His love for man, shall
not have confidence in Him and His Promises,
implicitly? The years of lives, when they are
spent in His service are bound to be bright in
the anticipated glory We to share with Him the
All-Glorious
And how are we 10 serve Him? He has left MS
ample counsels and commands some Of them are
interpreted for us in Sundays Epistle from the
writings OF ST. Peter Abstain from carnal desires
which war against The soul the Prince of the
Apostle exhorts us Behave yourselves honorably
among the pagans" He continues pointing out that
our good example and good works may lead them
TO Elorify God Obey all rightful authority, He in
sists, for rightful authority is from God: Live as
freemen yet not using yo r freedom as cloak for
malice but servants Of God Thus shall the little
while" our earthly be filled with grace,
and bring us TO eternal JOY

resentment and rivalry on the
part of neighboring peoples"
which could eventually lead to
war.
This warning would seem to
apply to our own country in a
very special way, for we have by
far the highest productivity and
the highest standard of living in
the world. According to a recent
study sponsored by The Twen-
tieth Century Fund (''Americd'S
Needs and Resources: A Ne1
Suruey"), the United States,
with little more than s per cent
of the worlds population and
less than 7 per cent of its land
area, now produces and con-
Sumes veil over one-third of the
worlds goods and services, and
turns out nearly one-half of the
worlds factory-produced goods.
Moreover, according to this sur
vey, the aggregate real income
of the more than 100 million
Americans today probably ex-
ceeds the combined income of
the 500 million people living in
Europe and Russia, and far sur
passes the total income of the
more than one billion inhabit-
ants of Asia.
That we as people do not
yet fully realize the explosive
implications of these statistics
or, in other words, do not
yet fully appreciate the serious
ness of the problem referred TO
by the Holy Father in His Christ
mas qllocution is evident
from the reaction to President
Eisenhower'S recent recommen-
dations in the field of Foreign
Trade. In a special message to
the Congress, the President call
ed for the elimination of restric-
tions on the movement of goods,
services and capital among the
nations Of the world and, to this
end, recommended the establish
ment of an Organization for
Trade Cooperation. This pro-
posed organization would ad-
minister a General Agreement
on Tariffs and Trade and would,
at least, help to bring about q
more equitable balance between
the standards of living in the So
called have and have-not nations
of the world.
Two Arguments Against
The reaction thus far to Mr..
Eisenhower's recommendations
has not been very encouraging.
The arguments used against the
establishment of the Presidents
proposed Organization for Trade
Cooperation are two. The first
is that the u. S. cannot afford
to lower its tariffs any further
without ieopardizing our own
standard of living. The second
is less selfish and more plausl-
BILE than the first but, in our

arise as the result of the peace
full development of bourgeois
society and bourgeois democra-
cy; it can arise only as the result
of the smashing of the bourgeois
State machine, the bourgeois
army, the bourgeois bureaucra-
tic machine, the bourgeois
police"
The overthrow of the Govern
ment of the United States is
specifically set down as a chief
item in this program by Stain
on pages SIS and 56. Then he
goes on to make it clear that
Soviet Russia is the base for
the overthrow of all non-Soviet
governments, including that of
this country.
This is the very heart Of Com
munist aims and the source of
Red everyday actions. The Com
muniStS were therefore in effect
convicted of being agents of
Soviet Russia in this world plot
against the United States. The
documents showing their com
plete loyalty to the Soviet die
tatorship, such as Milestone"
by Alexander Bittelman, chief
theoretican of the Communist
Party, furnished added proof.
None of these documents was re-
futed by the Reds in court, none
was repudiated. The Soviet
fifth column stands out as com
mitted to the destruction of the
United States.
krem'in the Power House
But all this while, since 1949,
the United States has in effect
been building up the Soviet
Power which is the master of
these men. BY dealing with
Soviet Russia. by respecting its
membership in the United Ma
tions and thereby giving il a
world sounding-board for its
propaganda, we have aided the
very power which makes the
Communists in the United States
possible.
If it were not for the Krem-
lin, the Communist Party here
would amount to nothing. This
is amply shown by the fate of

These fantastic assertions; are
refuted by the records of the
Foley Square trial itself, where

munists who violated all the
rules of orderly procedure. 1t
is refuted by the testimony,
which was based on the volum-
inouS Communist documents
that spark the activities of the
Soviet fifth column here.

opinion, equally dangerous in
the long run. II is the old argu-
ment of free trade" in the
classical 19th-century sense OF
the word.
The proponents of free trade
some of them at least-agres
with President Eisenhower that
it would be highly desirable to
eliminate restrictions on the
movement of goods, services,
and capital among the nations
of the world. But they think
that this can best be accomplish
ed by relying more or less ex-
clusiyely on the supposedly auto
matte mechanism of a complete
ly free and unregulated market
in the field of international
trade. In other words, they are
opposed to the establishment of
an international organization
which would have as its purpose
the regulation and control OF
the international market in the
interest of the international
common good.
The Wall Street Journal Ia
one of the most influential
spokesmen for this point of view.
According to it, you don't a.
chieye freedom by setting up in

and regulations. True order"

a recent statement by DR.. Err
hard, the German Minister of
Economics, is most present
when 1t is not noticed at all.
Order does not depend on or
ganization."
Not Traditional Catholic View
A few references will be
enough to indicate that this il
indeed far cry from the tradi-
tional Catholic point of view
with regard to freedom in the
field of international economic
life. As long ago as 1881 Pope
Plus XI stated, in the encyclical
Quddrdgesineo Ammo, that "since
the various nations largely de-
pend on one another in econo-
mic matters and need one an
others help, they should strive
with a united purpose and effort
to promote by wisely conceived
pscts and institutions a prosper
Gus and happy international CO.
operation in economic life"
Pope Plus XII in His 1854
Christmas allocution - referred
to above analyzes the phil
osophy of free trade in consider
able detail and tlnds IT TO ne
"deceitful illusion" completely
incapable of establishing order
in the fie Il d of international
economic life.
These few references - which
could, of course, be multiplied
hundredfold from other au-
lucrative Catholic sources = are
cited not for the purpose of
winning an academic argument
in the field of social and polit-
ical philosophy, but solely for
the purpose of enlisting support
for President Eisenhower's
moderate proposals in the field
of international trade. These
proposals may not be perfect,
but they are definitely a step
in the right direction. To oppose
them, however sincerely, for
either of the reasons indicated
above is. in our opinion, to ig-

The Wolves got behind the first

up, although they came close and
gave the home team and its sup
ports a scare the final quarter
when they racked up 19 points to
10 for the winners.
1t was from the foul circle
that Kings Mountain was able
to gain its victory. From the
floor, the Lines scored 4 more
field goals than Kings Noun
tain but the IL points the home
quint made from the foul lanes
proved the difference. Kings
Mountain held height advan-
tage over the shorter Wolves,
and in their aggressive play to
gain possession of the rebounds
the Lines committed more foul
