disputes be allowed to run their

which might easily increase
their gravity, show hatred in
mems souls, and create the So
called traditional enmities? And
might not a third party come
to profit from such enmities, a
third party which neither of the
others really wants. and cannot
want? At any rate let not those
peoples be denied a fair and
progressive political freedom and
hindered in its pursuit. To Eu-

credit for their advancement to

the face of such problems, re-
main passive, in futile regret
over the past or In mutual re-
elimination over colonialism.
Rather they should set them
selves constructively to work. to
extend where 1t has not yet been
done those true values Of Europe
and the West which have pro-
duced so many good fruits in
other continents. The more Eu-
ropeans strive for this, the more
help will they be to the just
freedom of young nations, which
in turn will be saved from the
pitfalls of false nationalism.
This in truth is their real enemy,
which would pit them one day

vantage Of third parties. Such a
forecast. not unfounded, cannot
be neglected or forgotten by

spects even more important than
an immediate prevention Of war.

Nation S Catholics to Pray

prayers will be recited after
masses. Many churches have
scheduled appropriate afternoon
or evening services, he said.
The Nations Catholic bishops
have called upon all men of good
will to pray for the victims of
religious persecution.
The Most Rev. Francis p.

said:
Still deeply involved in the
contemporary struggle for the
souls and bodies of men are the
millions who suffer bitter perse-

Communism and Freedom
In this industrial age, the man
who accuses, and rightly &C.
cuses. communism Of having de-
prived of freedom the people
over whom it holds sway. should
not omit to note that, in the
other part of the world also,
liberty win be a very dubious
possession il mans security is
not derived to a greater extent
from q condition of things which
correspond to his true nature.
In the Christmas radio mes
sage last year, we set forth the
mind of the church on this topic,
and we now intend once again
to ratify it. We reject Commu-
nism as a social system by virtue
of Christ's doctrine, and we have
a particular obligation to pro-
claim the fundamental princi-
Piles Of the natural law. For the
same reason, we also reject the
opinion that the Christian
ought today to see Communism
as a phenomenon or a stage in
the passage of history, one OF
the necessary moments" as II
were. Of its evolution, and con-
sequently to accept it as If de-
creed by divine providence.
But at the same time, we
again warn the Christian of the
industrial age. in the spirit of
our immediate predecessors In
the supreme pastoral and teach
ing office. against being salts
fed with an anti-Communism
founded on the slogan and the
defense Of a liberty which is
devoid Of content; rather we
urge them to build up a society
in which mans security rests
on that moral order Of which
we have very often set forth the
need and the consequences, and
which has regard for true hui
man nature.
For Benefit Of World
II. therefore. Christians unite
to this end in various institu-
tons and organizations. they are
setting before themselves no
other objective save the service
willed by God for the benefit
of the world. For the sake Of
this motive. and not out Of
weakness, let Christians group
themselves together. But let
them--and more so than others
open to every healthy
undertaking and to all genuine
progress. and not Withdraw
themselves into q sealed en-
closure as If 10 preserve them

Of the Redeemer will once again
bring to the hearts of the faith

wishes to you, beloved sons and

hear on this earth the steps of
those who in sorrow seek amid
the thorns the path of true life.
There Is reason, indeed, for
asking with fear and anxiety If
modern man is still disposed to

pernatural truth so sublime. to

Of his own increasing power. in

who speaks at length with pride

sire to know natures deepest

sufficiency? Modern achieve

In obedience to this principle

ner protected against abuse from
the political quarter: whereas
when it has been restricted to
the purely interior life, religion
itself Is more exposed to that
danger.
This. though of its own accord
leads us on to the ever acute
question Of peace which consti-
tutes an object of solicitude
always present to our heart, and
lat this moment one Of its partial
problems begs for special con-
|sideration. We propose to direct
our attention to a recent pro-
posal which aims at putting a
check on experiments in nuclear
weapons by means Of an inter-
national agreement. There has
been talk also Of taking further
steps toward convention S,
Through which the use of those
weapons would be renowned,
and all states subjected to an ef-
fective arms control. Thus there
would be question Of three steps:
remuneration Of experimentation
with atomic weapons, renuncia-
ton Of the use Of such, and gen.
eral control Of ornaments.
The supreme Importance Of
these proposals is tragically illu-
strated. II one stops to consider
what science thinks 1t can pre-
dict about such actions, and
which we think it useful to sum
up briefly here.
Fears Extended Effects
AS for the experiments of
atomic explosions. the opinion of
those who fear the effects pro-
duced If they are multiplied,
would seem to be finding greater
acceptance. Too many such ex-
plosions would In time cause
increased density of radioactive
products in the atmosphere,
whose diffusion depends on ele-
ments not under mans control;
thus would be generated condi-
tons very dangerous for many
living beings.
Concerning the use: In q nu-
clear explosion an enormous
amount Of energy. equivalent to
several thousand million kilo-
watts, is developed IN an ex-
ceedingly short time; this en-
ergy is composed Of electro
magnetic radiations Of very great
density, distributed within q
vast gamut of wave lengths,
even to the most penetrating,
and Of tiny bodies, produced by
nuclear disintegration,. which are
hurled at nearly the speed of
light. This energy is transferred
to the atmosphere, and within
thousandths of o second In
creases the temperature OF the
surrounding air masses by hun
dreds Of degrees; their displace-
ment Is violent. propagated at
the speed of sound. On the
earthss surface. In an area Of

lions Of unimaginable violence
take place, material volatilized
and utterly destroyed by direct
radiation, by heat. by mechan-
ical action, while an enormous
amount Of radioactive materials
of varying life-span, complete
and continue the destruction
through their activity.
This Is the spectacle offered
to the terrified gaze as q result
of such use: Entire cities, even
the largest and the richest in
art and history, wiped out; a
pail Of death over the pulverized
ruins, covering countless VIC
Tins with limbs burnt. twisted
and scattered, while others
groan in their death agony.
Meanwhile the spectre of the
radioactive cloud binders the
survivors from giving any help,
and inexorably advances to
snuff out any remaining life.
There will be no song Of victory,
only the inconsolable weeping
Of humanity which in desolation
will gaze upon the catastrophe
brought on by its own folly.
Control Techniques
Concerning the control: In
spection by properly equipped
planes has been suggested, in
view Of watching over any atomic
activities in broad territories
Others might perhaps think OF
the possibility of a worldwide
network Of observation posts,
each one stated by experts of
different countries, and protected
by solemn international pacts.
Such centers would have to bel
equipped with delicate and pre-
else meteorological and seismic
instruments. with equipment for
chemical analysis, with vast
spectrographs and such like; they
would render possible the realI
control Of many, unfortunately
not Of all the activities which,
antecedently would be outlawedI
in the field Of atomic expert
mentation.
We do not hesitate to declare
as We have in previous allocu-
tons. that the sum total of those
three precautions as an object
of international agreement, is AMI
obligation In conscience Of ma
lions and Of their leaders. Wei
said, the sum of those precau-
tons, because the reason they
are morally binding Is also that
equal security be established forI
all. II, however, only the firstl
point, concerning experimental
ton. be put unto effect, the re-
suit would be that that condi-
ton would not be verified. the
more so that there would bel
given sufficient reason to doubt
a sincere desire to put into eff
feet the other two conventions.
We speak so frankly. because the
danger Of insufficient proposals.
concerning peace depends inl
large part on the mutual sus-
picions that often trouble the
Of the powers concerned,
each accusing the other in vary
ing degrees Of mere tactics, evenI
Of a lack Of sincerity in q matter
basic to the fate of the whole
human race.
Councils on C0lonialism
For the rest. efforts toward
peace must consist not only in
aimed at restrictingI
the possibility Of waging war,
but even more in preventing or
eliminating or lessening with
time the quarrels between ma
tons which might lead to war.
