A. It is not permissible, and
therefore could be murder, for
a private person to take upon
himself the execution of an al
legged criminal. This applies to
any group of private persons.
If a group Of responsible citi-
zens judge that it is impossible
to gain justice through the ordi-
nary channels Gas happens in
primitive places and in tyran-
MES such as Naziism and Com

kind of provisional government

spend a large amount on cloth
es and cosmetics, and do men
forget caution when there is a
question of liquor or a new car?
That would be a dead give
away as to values. Would a
man miss making a retreat be-
cause he may lose a few dollars
from his paycheck? Would an
owner close his store on a Holy
Day of Obligation in spite of
the loss he might suffer? Is it
not impressive that Thomas
More. England's Lord Chancel-
Tor, spent every Friday in recol-
lection honoring the Passion of
Our Lord? It was easy then to
determine his values.
Sometimes the Government,
too, makes us pause and won
der about values when IL issues
pamphlets on the technique of
raising goldfish, but has no in
formation on the effect of moth
ers working outside the home.
Or when it fails to offer protec-
ton against statesmen who sell
furnaces too small for this or

The Yurdstick
Workers Individual
Freedom Is Important

member, DR.. Kerr starts from
the premise that unions are de-
sirable and necessary and that
they are here to stay. American
unions, he says, have made a
great contribution not only to
the welfare of their members
but to the security and stability
of our whole economic system.
More specifically, in the latter
connection, he challenges the
popular assumption that unions
are principally responsible for
initiation. 1.-THE fears of costly
social conflict" he says, "of
strangled production, or ram
pant initiation because of I'M
ions have proved largely with
out substance"
Nevertheless, he continues,
there is a real fear that unions
may take too much freedom
from the worker. This fear,
which is expressed very judic-
iously by DIR. Kerr, is shared
by many others, including the
present writer. The question
is, what should be done to cor
rect the situation?
In many influential circles
the answer to this question is
so-called right-to-work legisla-
ton, which would eliminate the
union shop and other estab-
lished forms of union security.
Without referring to it specific
ally, DR.. Kerr summarily re-
jects this proposal. He Is in
favor of the open union, he
says, but opposed to the open
shop. What, then, is his own
solution to the problem of safe
guarding the freedom of the
individual union member? He
recommends the following pro-
posals:

The Ambassador believes the
plan would work, first because
the Organization of American
States has already proved to be
an effective agency for the
peaceful settlement of dis
putes between countries, and,
second, the hemisphere defense
system, revolving around the
United States, is a strong guar
antee against aggression from
the outside.
The plan has given rise to
much serious thought among
responsible people. 1t is believ-
ed by some that it would raise
some difficult questions and
that it would entail much negot-
iation. However, it is generally
admitted that, upon reflection,
the plan is simple enough to
be workable.

it is the four-room Vatican
Press Office.
The furnishings and equip
ment of the office are simple: a
mimeograph machine, four tel
ephone lines, five typewriters.
several desks, one long table
with chairs and shelf space.
The Office has four staff
members. On the staff, besides
Casimirri and Croce. are an
usher (the American combin-
alton of porter, janitor and Of
flee boy) and a messenger. Two
other habitues are retained by
some news agencies and 4 num-
Der of European newspapers to
keep them informed on Vatican
affairs. often, but not always.
the comments of and rumors
in Vatican circles" which are
reported in American news
papers, have their origin with
them.
Like the tiny city-state of
which it is 4 part, the Vatican
Press Office necessarily re-
fleets the caution and reserve
of the institution which it
serves as a liaison between Va
tican City and the general
press corps. Press conferences
are practically non-existent. In
fact, only two are recorded in
its history: one in 1913, held
by Archbishop Aloisius J.
Muench, Apostolic Nuncio to
Germany and Bishop of Fargo,
N. D.. and another held during
the Marian Year by Archbishop
Luigi Traglia, vicegerent of
Rome.
The Press Office acquires
particular Importance when
major events are in progress
such as the Pope's illness, con-
s~istories, lamentations, visits
of famous personalities and i'm
portant papal discourses. On
those occasions the office,
normally quiet, is flooded with
hundreds of journalists.
The office is often criticized
by journalists who are impa-
tient with its limitations. But,
again rejecting the character
Of its mother institution, its
small voice is literally heard
around the world.

pointed out that there Is an

the above words. 1t is also point
ed out that the left hand should

while we are making the sign
of the cross with the right.
q. What are some Of the reg
uIations for the election Of .
pope?
A. By order of Pope Plus XII
the cardinals must meet in con-
clave within fifteen to eighteen
days after the death of the
Roman Pontiff. Pope Gregory
X introduced the law of con-
clave in 1874 whereby the car
dinals conduct the sessions in
isolation and secrecy. Nothing
of the sessions is published UNI
til the new pope has been chos-
en- by a two-thirds vote of the
cardinals present. While any
male Catholic could be chosen,
the choice has been restricted
to the college of cardinals for
some time (since 1879. When

only to promote peace, but also
to raise the living standards
in Latin American countries.
It seems obvious enough that if
large sums of money now used
for military pursuits we're di-
verted to that purpose, living
standards could be raised.
Of particular interest is the
face that the plan proposed that
Latin American countries dis
arm, without any apparent ref
erence to the United States dis
arming. There would seem to
be a lesson here for those ma
tions in the world that are mis-
led by Soviet Russia's charge
that this country is warlike, ag-
gressive, imperialistic and DOM
ineering.
Ambassador Facio's plan
seems to indicate a safe belief
not only that we are not ag-
gressive, but that we would de-
fend our neighbors to the south
from aggression at the hands
of others.
Ambassador Facio goes 50
far as to say the hemisphere
defense system, centering
around the United States, is so
strong a deterrent to aggres-
sion that Latin American coun-
tries are doing an unnecessary
and wasteful thing" in main
tanning armed forces beyond the
bare needs of internal security.
