THE CHALLENGE
OF CHOICE

choose from these days. Our
modern and scientific achiev-
ments has brought to us so
many gadgets, instruments, We
hicles and amusement aids, that
what once was a luxury seems
to us a necessity now. Because
of the multiplicity of things
from which to choose, it presents
a challange of choice to each of
us, but especially our youth.
1t is true that the home, the
foundation of our society is de
generating at TIE seams and i
on the verge Of Wrecking our
society. Legislation, finance, or
modernistic elements of phylos
ophy cannot reach or save Us
from self destruction. No natior
is any stronger than the homes
which the nation is composed.
The core of our problem stems
from the choice made in our
homes. Our desire to keep up
with the Jones, and the Jones
to keep up with the Smiths and
Smiths to keep up with some
body else, is the choice thous-
ands have made to their regret
In this highly competitive econ.
omy of ours ADVERTISING has be
come a science of the mind o.
men. With this kind of science
parading itself before the public
it presents to us a challenge OF
choice. List your needs: food,
raiment, and shelter over. against
what you have and see for your
self whereof you have to be un-
happy and dissatisfied.
Stop and think right now!
What do you owe your family?
Do the children have the COM
panionship and security of your
love in your home life? Or have
you been too busy to give them
what they desire and need more
than anything else in the world?
Do your children have the priv
ilege of sharing with you their
problems of love, their feeling
concerning the sexes, marriage,
and choice of professions? Young
people, are you thankless, dis
obedient, selfish, lazy, and desir-
Gus to have your way regardless
of anyone and how your action
effects someone else? Because
our choices result in far-reach-
ing consequences, we should be
discriminating in our choice.
For the Christian man or Wo-
man, boy or girl, the principles
found in Gods Word are the
guiding principles for faith and
life. Unless we yield ourselves

levers in God not to speak
of our greater dignity and re-
sponsibility as Christians-we
cannot do anything evil to
solve a problem. Often in the
history of the Church men
have said that the Church was
blocking progress by insisting
upon the moral law but true
progress must depend upon
the moral law. Without abso-
lutte right and wrong as given
by God our Creator land "all
men are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalien-
able Rights } we have no
protection against the tyranny
of the absolute state. What is
true for overpopulation today
may be true for eliminating
the aged and the unfit tomor-
row. The Church expects us to
labor to solve social problems
but insists that we cannot and
that we shall not solve them
by immoral means.

union officials is going to con-
vince the average rank-and-

ought TO tear himself away
from the family television
set and hurry over to the
weekly or monthly meeting of
his local union.
THE WORKERS VIEW
This hunch of ours. which
is probably shared by the ma
jority of people who have
thought about this problem at
all, is stated as a firm con-
clusion in a new book entitled

and their union leaders, Why
did they Join a union in the
first place? What do they ex.
peef 70 get out Of IL? What
percentage Of union members
can be expected to attend the
meetings OF the local union?
The answer given to this
last question by Professor
Seidman and his collaborators
is tackled on as a sort of foot
note to their analysis of the
different types of rank-and-file
union members. They have
tentatively distinguished sew
en- different types, which they
identify as follows: (D the
theological unionist; (2) the
good union man; ~ the loyal
but critical member; "a the
crisis activist; (5) the dually
%oriented member-i.e., one
who. while giving support to
the union in all essential re-
spects, views production and
efficiency from the points of
view of management and who
has a reasonable hope and ex-
pectation of graduating to a
supervisory or managerial po-
sition; go the card-carrier or
indifferent member; and CD
the unwilling unionist.

opposition to world commun-
ism and all the evil things it
implies.
What has happened is that
Soviet Russia, by propaganda
and maneuvers, has brought
about a situation in which the
world, and even we in this
country, are talking about
things Russia wants to talk
about. We are for getting
about things we ought to be
talking about.
Why can't we focus stten.

record Of broken treaties?
Why can't we remind that in

that ought to be kept before
the world is endless.
Meanwhile, one can expect
TO heard an increase in calls
for this country to be "real.
istic" in its approach to Soviet
Russia. 1t would be good if
we were realistic" in the
sense that we kept reminding
the world of how things really

Not so the other 88 per cent
who, in varying proportions,
fit into the other five cate
gories. 1t appears very unlike
ly, according to Siedman and
his associates, that there will
be any widespread and sus-
tanned participation by this
minority group in union af-
fairs except in periods of
crisis.
NO EASY cuRE.ALL
Assuming that this is SO, we
are faced with an extremely
serious problem. Obviously, as
Seidman and his %collaborat-
ors remind us, the apathy and
Indifference of the majority
of union members FLINDERS

and effective democracy with

stating the problem as mildly
as possible.
There is no easy cvre-sI
for this problem. Certain ten
tative solutions are referred
to in the Ssidmsn book. We
may have more to say at
later date about these and
similar proposals which have
been developed by other sx-
perts in the field.
Meanwhile-and this is the
only point we want to make
here, it would probably be
very uni ealistic to go on TAX
ing it for granted that the
majority Of rank and file UNI
ion members can be persuaded
to attend the meetings of
their local union with. regur
larity. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
we are badly mistaken-this
just isn't going to happen.
II should be noted in con-
clusion, that this problem of
rank-and-file apathy and in
difference is not confined to
the labor movement.
On the contrary, as Seid-
man and his associates point
out, identically the same prob
lem confronts many other
types of organization. This fact
is small comfort indeed to the
labor movement, but it does
serve to suggest that we are
dealing with a problem which
it too deeply rooted in human
nature to be solved in a hur.
ry or by the application Of a
panarea.

Rebellion in >1948 killed IS,
900, 900 people. And that was
only one of many similar re-
bellions in history!
THE ONLY ANSWER
Overpopulation is proposed
as a rather new problem and
we cannot play ostrich. The
death rate is going down and
the birth rate is going up.
But, is birth control the on
ly answer? Those who say
that birth control is the only
answer presuppose that all
conditions will continue as
they are for the next hundred
years. That is a gratuitous as
sumption. Nautilus himself
miscalculated in the last CEN
tury. And about food, who can
define what is or will be ar
able land? Our scientific
know-how and nuclear energy
defy present day definition.
Food, Of course, is not all
that is needed for a growing
population, Houses, schools,
leaders. industry. capital are
all needed, but food is the big
worry. II is interesting how

Overlook Several Factors
By Msgr. Irving A. DeBlanc

With the possibility of

what means, other than
birth control, could be
utilized to prevent undue suf-

pie throughout the world?"

This whole problem of over
population has been appear

OF magazines and in the daily
press. Almost all say that
birth control is the only an
swer.
We will hold another posi-
tion in the next few columns.
II is a fascinating, intriguing
subject. Hope you will enter
into the discussion. Many of
the articles you've read were
hysterical, emotional, preju-
diced, and selfish. Many, how
ever. attempted to be obiec-
tive and sincere. These latter
we would like to discuss.
They say that the worlds
population has increased five.
fold during the last 800 years
and II may double in the next

years they predict that we
will Jump from our present

people. They hurry TO warn
That the earth, after ell, has

only 1000, 900 900 acres Of
land which is arabic.
At least three-fourths of an
acre, they remind us, is nee
essary TO supply the needs of
one person. One hundred and
fifty square miles of new
farm land are needed every
day to take care of the new
births alone. What will hap
