Slav Flees Country
To Escape Job of
ISpyine on Priest

VIENNA - (NC) - A young
Yugoslav fled his country after the
police asked him to spy on his par
ish priest.
The young man, who had applied
for a position on the police force,
was told that his particular task
would be to spy on his parish priest
and report any utterance made
from the pulpit or elsewhere that
could be used as evidence of the
priests "subversive activities"
Feeling that his name had been
added to the list of police suspects
when he refused to do this, he left
the country.
His flight is one of a steadily in
creasing number made by his coun-
trymen. Most of the refugees de-
clare they left because they were
starving.
Meanwhile, 1t was reported by
refugees that there has been a stag
gering rise in the price of essential
foodstuffs, such as flour, bread,
fats, and meats, caused by a gov
ernment decree.
It is reported that about Is peo-
pie each night slip through the
Yugoslav borders to seek freedom
in Austria.

their hands in horror at their own
estimate that in 20 years the Singa-
pore population will have doubled.
Catholics point out that such an
increase. even If realized, is not
necessarily so tragic. Manhattan
Island has % square miles and
population of 1,889,924; whereas
Singapore Island has 291 square
miles for its little over a million
inhabitants. At Manhattan's rate of
density, Singapore Island could
thus provide for about 25 million
inhabitants.
Singapore Island is not crowded
in the least; and even If it should
one day become crowded, there is
the whole Federation of Malaga,
still largely jungle, which could
hold up to 80 million people in
stead of the present six million,
and under developed Borneo and
Sarawak, still almost without in.
habitants. Only by misrepresenting
the basic facts can the Family
Planners make out any case for
themselves. Their system Is to
suppress most of the evidence
against them. Local news
papers generally refuse to publish
more than a tiny fraction of the
letters sent attacking Family Plan
ming, whereas the Planners are ap,
parently given almost carte
blanche.
An important non-Catholic, Mr..
Tan Chin Tuan of the Chinese
Chamber of Commerce, objected
recently when the question came
up of increasing from $4,000 to
$50, 900 the government grant to
the Family Planning Association.
He thought the Government should
not make grants which offend the
religious tenets of any section of
the people obviously referring to
Catholics), and said that bodies
which receive grants should have
substantial funds of their own to
show they had popular approval
and support.
This statement, coming from q
non-Catholic, strikes back at the
usual Family Planning Association
charge that only Catholics are op
posed to its methods.

In Southeast Asia in the Fedora
ton of Malaga and Singapore,
about two years ago, a series of six
public lectures on marriage was
given by local priests and laymen.
These lectures drew an average
audience of 800 persons, Last De-
cember a series of sermons on mar
riage was given in military chap
ell and in January similar course
of sermons was preached in the
Cathedral of the Good Shepherd in
Singapore.
Pictures and sermons were es-
pecially appropriate because of the
propaganda that threatened and
still threatens the principles that
govern Christian marriage.
Intense propaganda in favor of
contraception Is being promoted by
the government and English and
American zealots, including partic-
ularly the wives of several Protest.
ant missionaries. Despite their
efforts since 1850, and a growing
government subsidy, the birthrate
in Singapore, instead of falling, is
constantly climbing and is now
one of the highest in the world.

shall we ever be skse TO feed so

their latest discussions In RAN

Asia's chief rice producing eoun-

China, will have an exportabls
surplus Of three and half to
four million tons sftsr the hsr.

more than fwo million tons OF IL

what 10 do with the surplus rice.

Family Planners are now concen
trating on the difficulty of provid
ing enough schools and teachers
for the new generation. They raise
