Ring Down the Curtain on
Socialistic Exercises

Socaistic Exercises
In the past several weeks, the
Commission on Organization of the
Executive Branch of the Govern
ment, generally known as the
Hoover Commission, has issued a
number of highly significant re-
ports, embOdying recommendations
for the improvement and moderni-
cation of the Federal Government
which could ultimately result in
savings of many billions of tax dol
lars.
Early in the 83rd Republican
controlled Congress, legislation TO
extend, and broaden the scope of,
the Hoover Commission was en-
acted. The Commissions new pur-
pose was to promote economy, eff
ficiency, and improved service in
the transaction of the public bust
ness" The Commission was charged
with the responsibility of suggest
ing ways and means of reducing
expenditures, eliminating duplicate
services, abolishing non-essential
activities, consolidating offices, de-
filming functions and relocating
agencies
AS expected the recent recon-
mendations of the Hoover Commits
sion have propagated spasms on
the part of the left-wing fragment
of our pOpulace, seemingly imbued
with the notion that our future sur
vival can only ensue from socialistic
programs These idolaters of pre-
cipitous philosophy have been en-
ergetically vocal in attacking any
recommendation which would
ring down the curtain" on even
some of the multifarious Federal
projects, conceived and nourished
by the New-Fair Deal, and which
are in direct competition with pri-
vate enterprise.
1t must be as unbelievable to
you, as it was to me, to learn that
our Government manufactures
sleeping bags, clothing, false teeth,
flags, ice cream, helium, ammuni-
ton, spectacles, maps, fertilizer,
ships, locks, lumber and paint, to
mention but a few Within the ire
mendous framework of the Defense
Department, the Hoover Commits
sion has disclosed that more than
$500 customary commercial and in
dustrial activities are functioning,
unshackled by taxes and other
charges which private industry
must assume 1t is cOnservatively
estimated that nearly 1000 of these
facilities could be Immediately
shifted to private enterprise with
out jeopardy to our national de
Tense or security.

Believing that our forefathers
never intended that the Federal
Government should undertake the
production of goods and services,
the Hoover Commission-with vi
sion, wisdom and courage - has
charted a course which could eff
fectively terminate series of dan
gerous exercises in socialism. These
recommendations deserve the sup
port of all conscientious citizens
and public officials, regardless of
political affiliation.

Birth Control,

RACES in India

MADRAS, India - (NC -
Indian state governments this
week continued their efforts
to establish birth control, and
stifle Catholic education.
In this city, six new birth
control clinics have been open
ed by tn e health minister
of the Madras state government.
The Hindu official said that the
clinics were the result of the
Madras governments conviction
that increase of population had
become a serious problem" for
this country.
Statistics recently released by
the Indian central government
show, however, that India's birth
rate had been declining steadily
during the past ten years.
In Nagpur, India, Cath Ollie
schools continue to bear the brunt
of the state governments cam
paign against the Christian COM
munity.
The state government has been
attempting to stifle Catholic edu-
cation by denying financial aid to
more than 100 Catholic schools,
with an enrolment of more than
5000 boys and girls.
The government took the follow.
ing steps to skill" the Catholic
| schools:
II established an almost equal
number of state schools in the
same area with public funds.
Teachers Of the Catholic
schools were attracted TO govern

more than ever before" the
Archbishop said, "it is true that
the work of Bishops and priests
is not enough TO restore all things
in Christ. We must all work to-
gether. For the cause which unites
us is Christ's cause, and Christ
came not to ordain priests or to
consecreate Bishops but to lead us
all, through the Church, into ever
lasting life"
The Liturgical Week opened on
schedule only two days after the
floods which devastated New Eng
land had barred access to Worces-
ter to all convenient travel except
by air. But 1900 persons manag-
ed to take part in the early ses-
sions in spite of floods, and the
figure climbed to almost $500 be-
fore the sessions ended, as road
ways were repaired and communi-
cations reestablished.
In his remarks opening the con-
ference, Bishop John J. Wright of
Worcester suggested that the pray
ers of the Week "be offered in
resignation TO Gods Will, in sup
plication for the thousands into
whose lives the storms last week
brought so many worries, and in
thanksgiving for the graces of pa
tience, fortitude, charity and faith
which have been manifested dur

Archbishop Cushing, preaching
at the closing Mass, asserted that

which its promoters become con.
