Bishops Hit

School Plan

CAPE TOWN, South
Africa = The National
ist governments policies
are effectively under
mining the whole Catho-
lie system of African
education" the South African
Catholic Bishops Conference
has declared.
In a statement reviewing
mission education at the be-
ginning of the new year, the
Bishops said that thus the pic
ture for the future of Cath
Ole education for South Afri-
cas- Negro population 'is in
deed a gloomy one"
Two main factors in govern
= ment policy have brought
about this distressing" situa-
ton, the Bishops noted: first,
the removal of State subsi-
dies, and second, the with
drawal of government regis
tration from some of the
schools.
Twenty-four schools have
been forced to close for vari-
Gus reasons since passage of
the Bantu Education Act in
1858, the Bishops said, leav-
ing the present total of 662.

with restraint" Professor
Moore added that full matur-

ed in a presidential election
the encouraging tolerance that
was shown this November in
several of the states"
Professor De SAINTS discuss
ed the Catholic question" in
presidential campaigns in the
period from 1855 TO 1900. His
thesis was that Catholicism
had no real significance in
any one Of the presidential
elections Of these years"
Whether Catholicism would
have become an important
factor if a Catholic had run for
president we shall never
know" he stated, land since
this is the case, we should be
careful not to substitute per-
sonal opinions for historical
evidence"
Professor De Saints said,
however "that Catholicism
did provoke bitter political
fights in Local and state con-
tests in this period, but even
in these situations the relig-
ious factor did not prevent
Catholics from being elected
to office"
In a observation-disclosures
period following the speeches,
Mr.. Krock said he thought it
would be necessary for a Cath
olic presidential candidate TO
issue an apologize" or 'credo"
in regard to the relationship
between his Catholicism and
Americanism."
This would necessarily have
to include a statement that
the candidate would uphold
the separation of Church and
State as it exists in this coun-
try, Mr.. Krock stated.
Professor Moore agreed that
such an apologize would prob
ably have to be made, but he
added that "it seems like an
oath and l don't like it,"

President Loses Ground

either president or vice-pres-
ident" of the United States.
After discussing the cleo
ton of 1923 in which Alfred
Smith was defeated for the
presidency. Professor Moore
said recent events suggest
that those who will fight hard
to prevent a Catholic from be-
coming president will fail to
get as much political mileage,
even from the issue of free
bus transportation, for ex-
ample, as Smiths bitterest
foes got by representing him
as 'Romanized and rum-rid-

Since there is more than .

it more difficult TO defeat

prospect" Professor Moore
asserted, "that within a few
years, or a decade or two, the
'unwritten law will lose what
