A popular writer has said,
Most of us have wished that
children could be turned into
good adults on the assembly
line. II would be so easy: take
one healthy baby, add cod-liver
oil, a few years of feeding, lib
eral doses of Catholic eduea-
ton, at least one bath a week,
a hair cut per month, sprinkle
often with the SacramentS and
the Ten Commandments, and

GODS PLAN
In recent workshop in Al
bany, Georgia, school teach
ers protested against early
schools for the two, three, four,
even five year olders. They
found this schooling" a great

enrolled the child in the first
grade.
There is a certain training,
attitude. security, discipline
which can be given and given
best in the home by the close
personal attention of parents
no normal nursery will sup
ply this. The different approach
of teachers at that age could
confuse children. Later, even
the best boarding school for
early teenagerS will equal sue
cessful parental training only
by exception.

DJAKARTA, Indonesia - You
still see the communist hammer
and sickle with the letters PKI,
for Partial Komunis IndoneSia

on the walls here.
You also see a rosary with the
initials PKRl, for Partial Katolik
Repubhk Indonesia, the. emblem
of the Catholic party. There are
likewise emblems of Moslem par
ties, the Nationalist Party, the
Protestant Party and scores of
others.
The placards are traces of the
recent general election campaign.
The only election posters permit
ted were the party em5lems,
printed in black and white.
The communists won 80 seats
out of 257 in the new Parliament,
as against II in the old. This does
not prove any increased popular
support, however, as the previous
Parliament had been appointed,
not elected.
First General Election
This was Indonesia's first gen.

vote was only 1853 per cent OF
the total national vote. The cleo.

lea. we are
happy TO report that the first
of the North American meet
ings will probably be held in
Canada early this fall.
To the best of our knowledge
this will be the first time that
a truly representative group of
Catholic social action leaders
from the United States and
both French and English speak
ing provinces of Canada have
come together to compare notes
and. discuss problems of NUT
ual interest and concern. An
informal get-together of the
three groups was held in Tor
onto 10 or IL years ago, but
this very small gathering could
hardly be described as repre-
sentative of the Catholic social
action movement in North
America. Moreover it was mere
ly a one-shot experiment,
whereas the meeting tentative
ly scheduled for October is eX-
pected to result in the appoint
ment of a continuing commit
tee and, ultimately, the estab-
lishment of a permanent U.s.
Canadian regional unit for the
Inter-American Catholic Social
action Confederation.
Getting TO Know You"
The need for such a regional
organization was repeatedly
brought home to us during the
course of recent motor trip
which took us from Montreal
10 Quebec TO Toronto and back
TO Ottawa for series of meet
ings, including the merger
convention of the Canadian un-
ions. Ii also offered opportun-
ity for series of personal con-
versations with leaders of the
Catholic social action move
ment in French and English
speaking Canada.
At each successive stage of
this extremely interesting and
profitable trip, we were increas-
ingly embarrassed by our lack
of knowledge of Canada in gen.
eral and the Canadian Catholic
social action movement in par
ticular Our embarrassment was
lessened to some extent when
we discovered how little the
majority of Canadians know
about the Catholic social action
movement in the United States
and how little the French and
English speaking provinces
know about one another's prob
lens and programs in the field
of Catholic social action.
What impressed us most,
however, was not this lack of
contact between United States
and Canadian social action lead
ers, but rather the widespread
feeling in Canada that the time
has come to know one anoth-
er better, Whereas 20 years
ago it might have been imprac-
tical to propose regional U.s.
Canadian social action confer
ence, there is general agree
ment today that such meet
ing is absolutely imperative.

Hands Across Border

many years? To some extent n
is probably due TO the fact that
the economic problems of Cam
ada and the United States are
becoming almost identical The
rapid industrialization OF Cam
ada-so Strikingly evident ev-
en- in the most isolated villages
of Quebec province-is under
mining long established Gus
toms and traditions and Great
ing new ones very similar to :
our own.
Canadians are probably more
acutely aware of this economic
and cultural situation than we
are in the United States. But on
both sides of the border there
is an instructive realization that
our growing similarity demands
closer degree of cooperation
than we have ever had before
in the field of Catholic social
action. Belatedly-but, even at
that, with surprising haste-we
are beginning to recognize that
we have much to learn from
one another in our common
search for ways and means Of
establishing social justice with
in our respective countries
For Canada and the United
States now have so much more
in common than ever before,
and seem destined TO become
even more alike in their basic
culture during the next few dec
ades.
Labor Merger
One of the most striking il.
Illustrations of the almost revo.
lutionary changes industrIali.

utmost cordiality and warmly
invited 10 affiliate their own

movement which will be known
as the Canadian Labor Con-

the next convention of the CLC,
the terms of affiliation will
have been agreed upon to the
mutual satisfaction of both
parties.
Mutual Advantage
This unprecedented step in
the direction of labor unity is
favorably regarded by all ct
the Canadian Catholic social ae-
ton leaders with whom we had
the privilege of conferring dur.
ing our recent trip. They desire
closer unity within their own
country and are sincerely an

The week end moved fast. If
you want to get slowed down,
try packing into 80 hours a
General Assembly session at
the United Nations, an OPEN
ing night at the Metropolitan
Opera, a party afterwards for
the opera stars, lunch the
next day at Gotham's Colony
Restaurant and a big white
tie dinner the same night here
in Washington.
One must say it ended on q
sweeter note than it started.
1t began with an hours ha-
rangue by Soviet Foreign Min
lister Shepilov.
1t wound up on the still
strong resonant, quality-laden
voice of Mrs. Clarence Mackay
who, as Anna Case, sang at the
Met with Caruso and per-
formed at the White House for
Calvin Coolidge.
The spirited Mrs. Mackay

enough Saturday night. how
ever. to star in anything. She
had on a strapless. all-satin,
long-evening gown with a
cleaning white bodice and
brilliant red skirt.

Mrs. Mackay arrange the din
ner via telephone calls between
Washington and New York.
And at the end of the meal she
proposed a toast to her long
time friend and said the party
was really for George since it
was his birthday.
To highlight the occasion,
chandeliers in the mirrored
ballroom were darkened be-
fore trays of individual candle
lit cakes were brought in-102

Guests were directed to
tables by song titles-C'eSt

clans played them all. Need
less to say, the latter Berlin
tune marked Linda's table,
which drew Marjorie Coleman,

There was dancing after
wards until 1870, with a small

more singing and music until
