cisely 1921 am. Spring indeed! 1t
is unlikely we shall even speak of
spring when these pitiless March
winds carry a mans new hat to mud
and slush. Yet there seems to be
connection between this miserable
weather and mankind's progress.
i say this because | believe
that the weather too is part of Gods
great creative plan for the Universe,
a plan with forces perhaps little
understood but plain to all who would
read them. Rugged March brings life
itself peeping from primordial slime.
Through last winters rotting leaves
the sharp spears of the crocus and
daHodil come to mount anew their
emblems of smiling beauty. Birds
take wing from other lands to Join us
in the poetry of the season. Only to
be alive in March is to be born again.
One final note: the calendar shows
that Sunday, as the Lords Day, was
first legally established sixteen hun
dred and thirty-6ve years ago, by the
Emperor Constantine. So this Sum
day, March 4, 1856, is marked in my
book of records as an extra-good day
for beginnings. 1t is a day for the
shedding of mean, respondent think
ing; =. day for the giving and
receiving Of love, Creations one real
meaning.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-03-04

10 this working almanac-maker, the
24-hour turning Of the earth on its
axis which we call day, holds special
fascination. For each day seems to
carry with it likeness to the wisdom
which has appeared in this same day
for hundreds of years.
Take March as an example. |
always think of it as a day of Begin
nings. On this former Inauguration
Day the Presidents used to cake the
oath of Office; Abraham Lincoln did
so in 1861, Theodore Roosevelt in
1905. Through the ages, the time has
been meant for beginnings. First
the Egyptians, then the Greeks and
Romans, marked it as the New Year.
1t is the season when Mother Earth
once more begins to bear. Creation
stirs within us as inevitably as in the
wild jungle fowl whose brood always
matches at the equinox, or the maple
tree whose sap is said to pulsate sky
ward more vigorously with the wax
ing Of this moon.
From our snug push-button
cars and air-conditioned factories it is
perhaps difficult for US to notice these
first evidences of primeval creation.
We shall probably even guffaw at the
solemn pronouncements that spring
is on the way and will be with US
again this year on the 10th at pre-

Divided Germany
Clouds Cologne
Catholic Congress

COLOGNE, Germany - The
grave issue of the division of Ger
many loomed big in the back
ground of the discussions of lay
and clerical experts attending
the 77th national convention of
German Catholics Katholiken-
tag.
This issue and that of co-exist-
ence were evident despite the
fact that politics was ruled out
as topic of discussion during
the Congress that has brought
thousands of Catholics to Cologne,
including some 10000 from the
Soviet Zone.
German Chancellor Konrad Ad.
enauer interrupted his Black For.
est holiday to attend the huge
meeting. In his opening address,
he said Germany can be rebuilt
"only on the foundation of the
eternal Christian verties." He
added: "We shall leave no stone
unturned to achieve unity again
and to regain freedom for all
Germans.
The thousands who filled the
vast halls in Cologne's Fair
Grounds received his statement
with enthusiastic applause.

of its member unions are anti
communist. Its newly elected
president is regarded as anti
communist.
A few years ago japanese, stu
dents, ambitious, poor and pain
fully conscious of their country's
postwar problems, listened read
lily to communist explanations
and promises. Today, according
to a Tokyo university professor,
communism as an organized move
ment is weak among them. They
have been chilled by Russian be-
havior, especially in regard TO
the japanese fishing industry,
the islands claimed by Japan
and the Japanese prisoners of
war still held in Siberia.
But among Japanese students,
professors, writer's and the like
there is a strong tendency to-
wards materialistic socialism and
especially towards Marxism. OBJ
viously this will predispose them
to work for, and even in, the
Communist party.
