double the amount when he
took office in 1858.
The public debt amounts TO
only 9.5 per cent Of the ma
tional product. or around 9 bill

More than half Of the public
debt is domestic. not foreign.

Cardinal Asks
|FiImsofBeauty;
Evil Dep|ored

VENICE, Italy. Sept. 2 Dr.
Angelo Cardinal Ronchalli told
participants in the Venice film
festival last night to make
fewer movies on the subject of
evil and produce more on
beautiful things.
The cardinal held a special
service in st. Marks Basilica
for those attending Europe's
biggest movie showing.
The cinema must not limit
itself to presenting the deca-
dence of modern customs" he
cautioned. "Moviegoers want
to see beautiful things as such.
Most moviegoers have a naive
spirit and must not be cor
rupted by films"
He said the Roman Catholic
Church holds that the rep
resentation of evil in the
cinema is to be condemned
and avoided" adding: Ger
tainly nobody wants this Venice
film festival. now a quarter
century old. to become a con-
veyance for the spreading of
evil"
The service was well-attend-
ed. but most of the big name
stars and directors were else
where chiefly at cocktail
parties.
Two weeks ago the cardinal
criticized the scanty dress of
foreign tourists in Venice and
suggested that priests. monks
and nuns from other dioceses
avoid Venice until the tourists
dress UP.
He had nothing to say last
night. however. about the some
times abbreviated costumes of
the Aim festival folk.

Dear P. ID. East:
You have heard from me before
but l am writing again because it
seems that by this time, with the
Petal Paper coming each week,
that ] know YOU Folks you know
are the ones you want to swap
ideas with now and then. | don't
want to swap exactly, in the sense
of having you take your time to
write me, but l do feel an urge
now and then to jot down a few
words. From time to time I'll be
writing.
| noticed in the last issue letter
from a sincere man of the South
sending you a word of thanks for
your courage, etc. That started
me thinking what state our
country has come to. There was a
time in our country when a man
spoke his mind on anything from
the Book of Genesis to the proper
infection for hog-calling. He
could drink corn whiskev. sour
mash. moonshine or milk. He
could be for single tax, low tariff,
high tariff, or no tariff. He could
believe Negroes were human be-
ings or he could believe they were
animals. In the dear Old South
there were white, dyedin-the-
blue-vein 100 per cent Southern
ers who defied the law and taught
the Negroes to read, helped them
buy their freedom or set them
/ free, even helped some escape to
! the North.
You see What i mean? In those
davs an American was free to do
lust about as he pleased and to
say what he chose to say He did
not have to bite his tongue, talk
in riddles over his phone, write
conundrums for letters, peek
through his fingers while he pray
ed. or keep his ear to the ground
for some committee on his trail.
He wasn't brave when he spoke
his piece; he was just good, old
! fashioned American, a free man
with a free mind and free
! tongue. If he was evil or an idiot,
one could soon tell by his utter
ances. In fact, free speech was a
eodsend which helped Separate
/ the fools from the wise. 1t helped
/ the country too. because the
sound IDEAS made it stronger and
/ the childish ones were exposed
and discarded
+ Now, heaven help US, few men
dare 20 speak freely and when
one does toss out a sort of nom
conformist paragraph or two,
along comes a letter praising
him for being brave! You see
