Pope Reps MoterioIism
OF Both East and West

VATICAN CITY. July Is up.
Pope Plus XII, in an ency-
clical issued today sharply crit
icizing the materialism Of both
East and the West. hailed the
forthcoming centennial jubilee
of Lourdes and called for q
Christian renewal in modern
society.
The encyclical letter. ad.
dressed to French cardinals,
archbishops and bishops. con-
tanned one Of the pontiff's
severest criticisms Of men and
their morals. 1t was dated
July 2. Roman Catholic feast
day of the visitation Of the
Virgin Mary.
The enclyclical hailed the
Forthcoming jubilee celebration
of Lourdes. where Bernadette
Soubiroux, a l4-year -old French
girl, said the Virgin Mary ab-
peared to her. The grotto now
is one Of catholicism's greatest
shrines. The jubilee celebra-
ton, during which millions OF
Roman Catholics are expected
to visit Lourdes, viii begin Feb
ruary IL, 1858. and continue
for q year.
The Sl-year-old head Of the
Roman Catholic church called
for an immense collective
force" during this jubilee year
for "the Christian renewal OF
society"
The world today, he said
"offers many just motives fol
legitimate pride and security.
But, he added, at knows alst
a terrible temptation Of ma
terialism."
This materialism is not only
found in the condemned philos'
ophy (communism) that rule,
the politics and economy o
one Part of humanity. 1t alSt
pervades the love of none,
whose ruins are broadening &C
cording to the dimensions O.
modern enterprises and which
alas, is a determining motiv,
for so many deliberations tina
weigh upon the lives Of people

TT is experienced in the cult
Of the body: in excessive search
for comforts: in the avoidance
Of all austerity Of life that
prompts disrespect for human
life even to the point Of de-
stroying it before 1t has seen
the light.
1T is manifested In an I'M
bridled search for pleasure that
shamelessly exhibits itself, and
tries also to seduce with litera-
ture and spectacles the souls
Of those who are still pure.
ut is demonstrated in a dis
regard for (one's) brother; in
egoism that Expresses him
zones brother). and in injustice
that deprives him of his rights
in q word. in that concept
that regulates only functions
Of material prosperity and
earthly satisfactions."
Asks Truth and Charity
The Pope said the most
Holy Mother (the Virgin Nary
has launched a cry of alarm"
for this modern society that
would gain the universe at
the price of its soul and that
is running toward its ruin"
During the jubilee year. the
Pope said. Christians of every
class and nation will seek TO
meet each other in truth and
charity. He called upon them to
Danish "incomprehension and
suspicious"
Without doubt he said,
"the weight of social structures
and economic presSures that
weigh upon the good will Of
men is enormous and often par
alyzes it good wilD.
But" he added. IF it is
true that the question Of social
and political peace for man is
above all moral question,
then no accord can be stable
without a changing and q puri-
flcation of hearts.
THE Virgin of Lourdes in
this jubilee year will recall this
to ALL"

AS a first STEP" he said,
Secretary Dulles might see At
to visit those countries of
Eastern Europe where he feels
it may be useful to go and to
bring back q report to the peo-
pie of the United States on
what is actually going on in
them"
He said it is difficult to see
how peace can be built in Eu-
rope unless at least both Po-
land and Czechoslovakia regain
independent national existence.
That. he said, requires "a sub
stantial commercial, diplomatic
and cultural contact with the
nations to the west, including
the United States" that will di-
vorce them from the Soviet
policy of "perpetuating the di-
vision Of Germany"
Attitude Arrogant
Senator Mansfield said he
frankly did not know whether
substantial contact with East
Europe is possible because in
the past the Eastern European
attitude toward Americans has
been arrogant and irrespon-
sible."
But he said there have been
changes in YugoSlavia and
there are now signs of other
changes, particularly in Poland
and, perhaps, there will be
others elsewhere in the near
future"
II believe the Secretary of
State could perform a highly
useful service by a f1rst-hand
exploration of the significance
of these changes" he declared.
He said the recent United
States agreement to provide a
sos million credit to Poland for
wheat, cotton and coal mining
machinery may prove Of great
long-range significance" to the
whole area.
Peace elsewhere, too. he said
depends as much on a change
in American policy as it does
on a change "in attitudes OF
the Soviet union"
Must Adjust Fears
Unless the United States ad-

There has been, he said. too
much of a fruitless search FOL
absolute security" while WI
have ignored the possibility Of
making this country relatively
more secure" in what will al
ways be "a dangerous world
Inflated fear" of Russian
aggression, Senator MANSFIELD
said, has left Americans with
"a sense Of living on the edge
Of doom"
That fear, he said, must yielc

that II the Soviet Union il
