With the celebration of the Feast of Pente-
cost last Sunday the Church completed the big
three" on her calendar, the other two being of
course Christmas and Easter.
But in much more exalted sense the
Feast of Pentecost with the celebration of the
coming of the Holy Ghost completes much
bigger three" With His arrival the Holy
Trinity itself is all present and accounted for
in the Liturgy or public prayer of the Church.
And so the Church promptly celebrates that
completeness on the octave day of Pentecost
that is the Sunday AFTER with the Feast of the
Most Holy Trinity.
think it's safe to say that the ordinary Cath
Ollie knows less about the Trinity than about any
other major doctrine of his Faith And in a
way that is as it should be. 1t is the deepest
mystery of our Faith, and there is simply less
that we can know as a result.
But lack of information or the difficulty
of finding it has never stopped men from being
interested in things before. AS matter of fact,
the note of mystery lends certain fascination
to any subject since man is an incurably curious
creature. And so the doctrine of the Trinity
has been the subject of more investigation and
speculation on the part of Christian writer's
and theologians than many more practical and
easier subject. With the Feast of the Holy
Trinity the Church invites us to join the cele-
bration and investigation.

other countries while maintain
ing detachments of troops or
civilian workers within their
borders.
II is a historical fact that a
nation always runs the risk of
unpleasant incidents when it
has troops billeted within an
ether country. Today, such
nation might be said to run a
calculated risk. In the case of
the United States a special and
added problem has to be faced
in such circumstances.
The living standard in the
United States is higher than
that of any country in the
world. Pay of members of the
US. armed forces is higher
than that of one military of any
other country. The same ap-
plies, generally, to civilian per-

try abroad, with or independent

too apparent. 1t is noted that a
US. army sergeant draws more
pay than a native colonel, or in
some cases maybe a general. 1t

These are not unalloyed dis

gone far to bolster, and maybe

This is known and appreciated
on the higher levels, among Of

selves have.
But American officials have
moved alertly and vigorously to
meet this situation, and by and
large seem to have handled this
inescapable problem well. The
incidents in Formosa and Japan
should recall that they have
been relatively few, when there
could have been so many,

in his letter is very explicit on
this point.
We leave it up to Mr.. Camp
bell and his associates in the
NAM to explain why the Doug
las Bill is an unwarranted "en-
croachment by centralized gov
ernment into the shrinking SOW
ereignty of the states and their
local governments" whereas
the Taft-Hartley Act is not.
They are both forms of Federal
regulation. To our way of think
ing, the only difference be-
tween them is that the Doug
las Bill would apply to all en-
ployee welfare funds, including
those which are administered
by employers, whereas the Taft
Hartley Act, If amended along
the lines suggested by the
NAM, would be confined ex-
clusively to those welfare funds
which are administered by un-
ions.

books, but most towns have
Libraries. 1t could be as SIM
pie as making a correct sched-
ule for everyday. Some spend
too much time on the phone
discussing people instead of
ideas. The T.V. is surrendered
to too easily. Too much time
is put on the morning paper.
Editorials, however, are sell
dom read.
A truly feminine woman,
next to the Blessed Sacrament,
is the greatest cultural influ-
ence in the world if she con-
tinues to grow. Otherwise, she
is an echo--not an answer.
Often man is too absorbed in
his work of subduing the earth,
and often only woman can res
cue him from his shallowness
and idolatry. But woman will
never do this if she is the
clinging vine. She must have
individuality, opinions, intelli-
gence.
Every eleventh person in the
us. is over IS; by 1880 it is
estimated that every seventh
person will be. Unless we pre-
pare now for this period, the
ratio of mental patients can
exceed the present 51So for
our hospital beds. There is an
established relationship be-
tween old age and mental col
lapse. Family situations per-
mitting, women in their middle
years will find it much more
profitable TO enroll in a uni
versity than to seek employ
ment in a department store.
A new course followed in col
lege may be their best oppor-
tunity to rediscover them
selves.
After a few years of marri-
age, many men can look right
at a woman without seeing her
and many a woman can see
right through man without
looking at him. That is due in
part to the fact that l have
tried to establish: both have
failed to grow.

WASHINGTON-Two recent
incidents in the Far East have
drawn attention here to a long
standing problem. They should
also remind us of a consider
able achievement in this con-
nection.
The attack on the American
embassy in Taipeh, Formosa,
and the present controversy
with the Japanese government
are held to be the outgrowth
of particular incidents, but they
recall a continuing matter.
The disturbance in Taipeh is
said to have resulted, at least
directly, from the acquittal by
q court martial of an American
soldier on trial for the Staying
of a Chinese civilian. The de-
bate with the japanese authori-
ties involved jurisdiction in
the trial of an American army
sergeant charged in the death
of a Japanese woman who was
picking up empty cartridge
cases on a US. Army firing
range in Japan.
These are individual, unpre-
dictable and, it is hoped, pass
ing incidents. While they are
TO be regretted, they could draw
attention to the commendable
job the United States has done
in keeping good relations with

The May 8 release of this
column endorsed the so-called
Douglas Bill Is. 1929 which, if
enacted, would require all EN-
ployee benefit plans (so-called
"health and welfare" plans) to
register with and to file peri

the course of the column the
statement was made that the

Whatever else may be said
about this analysis of the
Douglas Bill, it can hardly be
described as the complete pic
tre of the facts in the case"
which Mr.. Campbell properly
calls for in his letter.
The important point to bear
in mind is that the NAM-de-
spite its impassioned defense
of state sovereignty - is real
ly not opposed to the Federal
regulation of welfare funds in
all cases and as a matter of
principle. On the contrary, the
NAM is openly and almost inn
patiently in favor of Federal
regulation Of union-administer-
ed welfare funds.
Eneroachment by Government
In all fairness, it must be
said that the NAM would
probably prefer to keep the
Federal Government out of the
picture altogether. Neverthe-
less, the fact remains that in
the case of union-administered
funds (but not in the case of
employer-administered funds
the NAM is enthusiastically in
favor of federal regulation by
means of an amendment to the
