Editors Must
Find Needs
of Readers

VATICAN CITY - The aim Of
an editor must be to find out
what readers need most from
among the true, the good and the
beautiful, His Holiness Pope Pi-
us XII said in an address to the
14th international congress of
the Union of Editors, which took
place in Rome and Florence.
The Holy Father said that "the
Church has always considered
worthy of praise whatever en-
ables men to have access to
truth, beauty and goodness and
to the vast field open to creative
ness and human genius"
I'm this task of enlightenment, /"
the Pope added, "the editors of
good books play a great part"
The Pope stressed the desir-
ability of applying legal re-
straints against harmful and OBJ
scene literature. There should be
no hesitancy in doing this, he
said, since ''in modern civilization
the book constitutes principal
means to transmit thought"
Literature written for children
and young students, the Pope
continued, should be based more
often on stories of the Bible ra-
ther than on sometimes ridicu-
lous fantasies

Forgive, Forget
Policy of Reds

WASHINGTON - MC) - A
policy of forgive and forget" to.
ward the Russians should not be
adopted until the Reds have cor
rected their practices and with
drawn from those areas they hold
by terror, a Congressman said
here.
Rep. Michael A. Feishan OF
Ohio told the second annual
Communion breakfast Of EN-.
ploYees of the United States
Information Agency that the
Reds seek to use the principle
of forgiveness "fo cause US 10
forget fhe many nations and
people ensIaved by them and
who today suffer the trials of
the martyr"
Mr.. Feighan asserted that a
spirit of live and let live with
the Russians would create a sit
uation in which those who believe
In moral principles make great
concessions to those who are in
fact amoral, and whose basic doc
trine holds that, if needs be.
three-fourths of the people of the
world must perish in order that
communism will triumph"
"in my opinion" he said,
I'VE should be quick to forgive,
and prepared TO forget, only
when the communists have cor.
recfed their evil practices up
on humanity and have remov-
ed their apparatus OF fear and
terror from those vast areas
Of fhe world which they now
hold by force alone"
The Congressman spoke out
against the notion that the free
world can safely live with "those
who seek to enslave us" and that
in time new civilization will
evolve.
"This is called the new politi-
cal evolution. 1t presupposes that
by some accident of nature evil
can be mixed with decency, and
that the future civilization it her
aids can be at the same time both
good and evil"

crucial month. The Soviet IN

congressional leaders now, rather
than shock them with the adj

gravity of the Suez situation

gress and the American public
are not sufficiently aware of the
dangers of war in the Middle
East since Egyptian President
Nasser's naturalization of the
Suez Canal July 26.
u. S. Sets Forth Principles
The United States has sent a
memorandum to all countries
which will participate in the
London conference suggesting
formation of an international
authority to run the canal.
The principles set forth in the
memorandum are essentially
these:
/. There should be assurances
that the canal will continue to
function in accordance with the
principles of the Suez Conven-
ton Of 1888. The 1888 pact
specified that the canal shall
always be free and open" in war
and peace to the ships of all
nations and shall never be
to. the right of block
ade.s
2. The canal should be oper-
ated by an international au-
thority having full control over
the fees charged, overall oper-
ations. maintenance and future
development and the handling
of financial affairs.
8. Egypt should receive a rea-
sonable income from the canal
revenues. Officials here believe
this should be substantially more
than the $40 million or less which
