Free Speech and Church Disputes

Council and added: "Other
denominations are facing at
tempts within ofhcial organ
izations to make 1t appear
that the corporate church is
incompetent to take moral
positions in real issues in our
social and international life"
In recent years many pro.
nouncementS have come from
churchmen Of all faiths on
various issues that today are
being debated in the presiden-
tial campaign. Thus, a group
Of Protestant churchmen q
few months ago brought out
q report advocating the ad-
mission Of Red China to the
United Nations. Other church
groups have expressed them
selves on different phases Of
domestic as well as interna-
tional policy.
The only real dilemma
arises when 1t is asserted that
a citizen may be punished or
penalized for choosing to diff
fer on political matters from
the viewpoint Of his pastor or
any group Of clergymen in
his church. The Catholic au-
thorities, for instance, say
that the purpose Of the Puerto
Rican pastoral letter was
merely to express an opinion,
which was offered to the citi-
zens for their consideration.
The prestige, Of course. Of
any clergyman who possesses
the confidence Of the commu-
nifty can be said to influence
the voters and there are
plenty OF pamphlets ana doc.
uments quoting eminent cler-
gymen Of all faiths on the
question Of separation Of
church and state. But unless
these contain some coercive
or improper language. they
are bound to be considered
within the right Of any or
ganization to express itself
and to endeavor to persuade
others to adopt the views held
by such an organization or
association. Free speech COW

u. S. Business and Financial Structure
Worrying Allies More Than Elections
CONSTANTINE BROWN

Both presidential c andi.
dates have been attempting
to sweep our economic and
financial difnculties under the
rug. following the popular
belief that what the voters
don't know won't hurt them.
Recently, however, the
spectacular rise in the price
Of gold on the London market
has drawn attention to our
economic and financial struc-
ture. According to reports
from abroad, there Is little
interest among our Western
allies in who the next Presi-
dent Of the United States will
be. They are all confident,
on the basis Of their cam
paign speeches. that neither
Vice President Nixon nor
Senator Kennedy win inter-
rupt the American policies Of
support to the free world.
But at the same time the
realistic political m e n and
flnapciers across the Atlantic
realize, probably more than
the American electorate and
economic advisers Of both
candidates, that this country
cannot continue for long to
play the role Of Atlas and
carry the world on its
shoulders.
There have been obvious
indications for some time of
q flight Of gold from the
United States to Western
Europe and to Japan. This
flight has not only been
caused by Withdrawals by for
eign holders Of vast amounts
Of dollars but also by invest
nents Of American industrial
funds abroad. Because Of
the high cost Of production
In this country m any in

Senator Kennedy's wish to

the campaign techniques on

may be more than a friendly
gesture to them. Last Friday
night in New York, he caught
muttered complaints by Mr..
Nixon as he spoke. They ap-
parently were uttered about
the time Senator Kennedy
was talking. He does not
mention them publicly, but
he did not like them. He

PreIote's Political Advice Held All Right
Except Where Penalty Is Threatened

who said it was not something
which would have to be re-
ported In any confessional
and hence there was no pen
ance or penalty involved, and
that the question was "a
matter between q Catholic
and his conscience"
This is similar to the po-
sition taken by Protestant
clergymen-namely, that they
have a right to advise their
constituents on political mat
tiers, especially when moral
issues are concerned. Ger
tainly, there is precedent for
this in many States Of the
United States where clergy
men have publicly favored or
opposed legislation directly
related to the churches, either
with respect to tax exemp-
tions Of property or the Sys-
tenn of releasing children
from school in the afternoon
to go to religious services.
Not long ago Rev. Eugene
Carson Blake, chief executive
Of the United Presbyterian
Church, U. 8. A., made q very
important speech before the

School on the subject Of the
church in politics. He said:

day In the tens Of thousands
of pulpitS in this land is more
important than the pro-
nouncements made OCCASION

Of these are already Compel

porters. Those with intimate

South African
Tells of Uroe
To Survive
By the Associated Press

Foreign Minister Eric Hen
dirk Louw Of South Africa says
the only reason for his coun-
try's policy of apartheid is "the
urge to survive"
If South Africa gave full
political equality for all races,
the white population would be
swamped by the Bantu." Mr..
Louw told the National Press
Club yesterday.
The 3,250.000 million whites
would be lin danger Of losing
racial identity being abb
sorbed by the huge Bantu ma
jority," the Foreign Minister
warned. The Bantu popula-
ton, he said, numbers almost
~ million, ana the coloreoS
(of mixed white and Negro
origin) and Indians another
1.9 million.
Remember, South Africa is
our only home. Future genera
tions of South Africans will
have nowhere to co." Mr.. Louw
said.
He denied accusations that
the Bantu, the Negro of South
Africa, is ill-treated. The mere
fact that hundreds of thou
sands of Bantus inlmigrated to
South Africa from reighboring
territories, while there is nc
Bantu emigration from the
Union, proves that these
charges are false, Mr.. LouW
contended. He quoted a Bantu

DAVID LAWRENCE

The three Catholic bishops
Of Puerto Rico who advised
their constituents to vote
against Gov. MunoZ Marin
have stirred UP q controversy
as to the influence Of the
church in politics. But what
these three prelates have done
Is really not new. Advice to
voters is given constantly by
clergymen Of all faiths.
When q public policy or ac-
ton arises that directly con-
Germs moral issues, church,
men generally feel that they
have q right to speak out and
tell their parishioners what
they think.
In the case of the Cover
nor Of Puerto Rico, the
Catholic bishops feel he has
not been right in encourag-
ing birth control. In fact, for
years they have insisted that
his policies have been pro-
noting abortion and tolerat-
ing common-law marriages.
Now. when a new law au-
thorizes the teaching Of birth
control and allows Steriliza-
ton, it is natural that the
churchmen who differ with
that public policy should be
expressing themselves and
telling their parishioners that
they ought not to vote for
any ofilcials who support
such legislation. The Gov
ernor. moreover, has refused
to let 100000 public school
children take time OF for re-
ligiouS observance, which sew
eral States permit. The Su-
preme Court Of the United
States has upheld the "re-
leased time" system.
Cardinal Spellman has de-
clared that it is wrong to
draw the inference that any
Catholic would be committing
a sin If he or she disregarded
the advice Of the Puerto
Rican Archbishop. He in
dorsed q statement by q BoS-
ton ecclesiastical authority
