Morrow Thrives on centurion

Moscow Thrives on Confusion
Nothing could show more viv-
idly Communist contempt for the
intelligence of the American peo-
pie than these directives The
use of "our forces" and "our
pledged word" by the Soviet
fifth column is a continued at
tempt by this seditious force to
garb itself in the clothing of
Americanism, And then, the
pledged word" which the Unit
ed States gave TO China was sol
emnly given to Chang Kai-shek
at Cairo - a pledge which the
United States callously broke in
the Yalta agreement. For our
country is as much responsible
for there being a Red China to-
day as is Soviet Russia itself, and
we cannot easily wash that guilt
from our hands. If we now yield
to these new Red demands, we
will compound that crime and
bring war nearer TO our own
shores.
II is not surprising that the
immediate demand" of the Daily
Worker for American evacuation
OF Quemoy and MatSu, which the
Communists have been raising
for weeks, was Immediately tax
en- up BY the New York Times
Of April 3. In leading editorial,
that newspaper came out with
out equivocation or condition for
our abandonment of these "off-
shore islands" This is most seri-
Gus, coming from such a distin-
guished journal, which affects
the editorial opinions of news
papers far out to the West Coast
1t is now argued by the Nelc
York Times that Quemoy and
Matsu are not essential to the
defense of Formosa, although
the exact opposite statement was
made at the time that we we're
induced to surrender the Tachen
Islands. Then il was said that
those islands we're of no value,
but that Quemoy and Matsu were
the keys to Formosan defense.
Every intelligent man who is
conversant with Communist tac-
tics and who Is aware that our
yielding TO internal Red pressure
only prepares the ground for
new yielding can understand

His Holiness declared that
"this higher plane :. alone is

And in this light, the Pontiff
continued, there again clearly
appears the absurdity of that
doctrine which held sway in the
political schools of the last few
decades; namely, that war is
one of the many admissible
forms of political action, the nee
essary, and as it were natural,
outcome of irreconcilable dis

Annual Wage

mainly on the grounds Of what II
will cost the auto industry or
the customers who buy its cars.
Certainly its economic aspects
are complex enough. But there
are more fundamental questions
=. The real question is not
what this plan would do for a
few corporations. 1t is what it
would do to men"
Surely it is a matter for re-
joicing that the nations leading
financial daily should attach
such overriding Importance to
ethical and spiritual as opposed
to purely technical economic
considerations, important as the
latter undoubtedly are. This is
not to say, however, that the
Wall Street Journals particular
application of ethics to the sub
iect of the Guaranteed Annual
Wage is necessarily correct. On
the contrary, many Americans .
will think that the Journals con-
clusions are more sentimental
than strictly logical.
Spiritually HARMFUL
The Wall Street Journal takes
the position that the Auto
Workers particular proposal for
a GAW = clearly aside from its
allegedly adverse effects on
workers in other industries and
on American society as whole
would be spiritually harmful
to '.those very individuals, the
workers in the auto industry,
whom it is supposed to bless"
According to the Journal, the
Auto Workers proposal is sin
substance a dole-pay for idle
ness or for make-work jobs Gre
ated to justify that pay to 4
privileged few" While dole,
ii is said, may be necessary de-
vice to alleviate the physical.
suffering of poverty, cit is no
less an evil for it kills mems
spirits" Furthermore, "it is not
a solution for the different prob
lens Of periodic employment"
The Auto Workers union will,
of course, deny the major prem
ise in the Wall Street Journals
Syllogism. 1t will deny, In other
words, that the Guaranteed An
nual Wage is a dole But let us
assume, merely for the sake of
the argument, that the GAW
really is a dole. Even so, many
Americans would consider it
preferable to the ordinary kind
of government dole (Which usual
ly involves a certain amount OF
humiliation in one form or an
other) and preferable, too, to any
other alternative solution for
1.-The different problems of peri
odic employment"
If the Guaranteed Annual
Wage is not solution for the
different problems of periodic
employment, what is the Solu-
tion for these problems. Until
the Wall Street Journal answers
this question TO the satisfaction
of the workers involved, il would
seem to be pointless, not to say
insulting, to preach to these
workers about the moral and
spiritual harm that they are al
legedly calling down upon them
selves by agitating in favor Of
the Guaranteed Annual Wage.

avail
For while it was being ru-
mored that the union had al
ready made a deal with Ford,
but off the record as we'll as on
the record both parties have as-
sured the press that this is not
true. AS of this writing, there
fore, the outcome of the forth
coming negotiations over the
GAW is anybody's guess. Our
own guess, for whatever it may
be worth, is that the issue will
be compromised short of an all
out strike.
Meanwhile the subject of the
GAW is being debated more
widely than any other current
issue outside the field of inter
national relations and American
foreign policy. To its credit, the
American press, instinctiyely rec
ognizing the far-reaching import
ance of the subject, has covered
1t very extensively and, for the
most part, effectively.
Significantly enough, even
those newspapers which most
strongly oppose the CAV on eco
nomic grounds are at pains to
state that, in the final analysis,
the problem is basically ethical
in nature rather than purely eco
nomic.
Opponents Arguments
The ethical arguments being
used by opponents of the Guar
anteed Annual Wage are too
numerous to list in this column,
but one in particular calls for a
word of comment in view of the
prominence and the influence
of its source, namely, the Wall
Street Journal. The Wall Street
Journal has probably given
more attention and devoted
more space to the CAV than
any other daily newspaper In the
United States. Editorially the
Journal has taken the position
more than once that the Auto
Workers proposal for a Guaran-
teed Annual Wage is economical
ly unsound. not to say absolutely
impossible of achievement.
But now that the chips are
down and negotiations are about
to begin in Detroit, the Journal
has solemnly stated, in a major
two-column editorial published
on March 20, that the basic is
sue involved in the controversy
over the CAV is ethical and
spiritual. This particular guar
anteed annual wage plan,' the
editorial says. is being debated

Emerging from the spiritual retreat of Lent,
with its sacrifices and meditations, we should find
overseves, like the disciples emerging from the
Upper Room, invigorated and inspired to do the
bidding of the Master The beginning Of our
quest of wordness must show itself in our deeds
and words, fired by the love of neighbor that
impes is TO treat all men with justice and charity
and by the love of God that begins with obedience
to all His commandments.

O. Often I'm nbSent.minded
during confession and | haze no
recollection of having been
truly sorry for my sins at all.
Does that make it a bad con
fesston2 What If cant reptem-
Der the penance the priest gaze
me?
A. In preparation for the sac
ramental confession we should
examine our conscience and
make a sincere act of contrition.
The sorrow for sin required must
be in our will. There may be no
emotional reaction at all, but we
must mean the words of the Act
of Contrition which we say
that we are sorry because we
have offended God. In the actual
confession of sins it is quite pos
sible that we may forget to feel
sorry or even to make a con-
scious act of sorrow, but our in
tenti0n in coming to confession
and our previous act of sorrow
would make our act of contri-
ton at least sufficient. We would
have virtual intention and our
conscious sorrow in making our
preparation wouli certainly
make it a good confession. If we
cannot remember our penance
we should perform that which
we usually receive.
Q. What is to be done Nth old
religious articles, Which are so
morn or damaged that it would
be irreUerent TO continue to use
them?
A. The accepted practice for
disposing of saeramentals which
are no longer usable is that they
be burned separately and dis
posed of in some isolated spot
lie. not with other articles burn
ed in rubbish. If that is not pos
Sible o. practical they may be
buried. but this too should be
done in some place where they
will not be subject TO any in
dignity leg. they could be buried
or the ashes placed in the earth
between flowers or bushes next
to the house,.
@. What is the particular judg-
ment? If zoe shall he Judged on
the Last Day, ,ohy should there
be judgment sooner?
A. Immediately after the death
of each person comes the parti-
cular judgment of that individual
person. This particular" judg-
ment is necessary for the time Of
trial and probation is over and it
would not be reasonable for man
to be in state of neutrality and
uncertainty until the end of
time. 1t is at this time that
some are sent directly to hell,

Chemical Weed Control
Will Improve Lawns

/ ammonium salt forms that are
mixed with water or fertilizers
are more stable and hence less
damaging. The method of APP
plication may be either in water
solutions or with dry fertilizers.
|. An ordinary sprayer that you
use for garden insects may be
used to apply the water solution.
Provide a separate sprayer for
this purpose as the weed killer
is not easy to wash out of the
sprayer tank. The dilution
varies with the product found
on the market, SO the manufac-
turers directions should be care
fully followed.
Some Pointers
When spraying the lawn keep
these points in mind:
l. Spot spray the weeds only,
unless they are so thick that
general spraying of the entire
area would be more complete.
