The argument that the migrant
does no better in Texas is interesting
since at least one of the reasons is the
protection given the Mexican migrants
who are brought to Texas TO work UNI

native Texan to move to Ohio. for a

Letter To Editor

a vigilant and interested citi-
zenry, with the cooperation of
their local officials, have met
the problem and have been
successful.
A quick glance at the the
atrical pages of the Columbus
papers points out our prob.
lem. Large ads proclaim the
showing Of films that blister
the screen or that are sex
nlflcant."
THERE ARE on the statute
books of Ohio laws which, if
enforced, would adequately
cover the present problem In
Franklin County these laws
seem to mean nothing. While
this is a controversial field
those sworn with the duty of
enforcing and prosecuting our
statutes should not avoid con
troversy by avoiding their du-
ty. The buck is continually
passed from one branch of the
government 10 another and
winds up nowhere.
The standards of public de-
cency in Franklin County are
no lower than those in other
communities. Perhaps there
has been more timiditv to law
enforcement and prose dtion
mere than elsewhere. It is up
to US to speak out Individual
ly and collectively against the
continued exhibition of such
films.

NOW THE QUESTION has
come to head in the matter
of federal aid to education.
Many Protestants and Jews
will be unable to see the point
of view | urge-and the reason
is that they send their chill

But unless they are very
shortsighted, they should be
able to conceive the possibii-
ity that the time may come
when they will want their chill
dren in religious schools too.
Indeed, they ought to be
able to understand the posi-
ton of Catholics without
themselves feeling the flnaYa-
cial pinch.
Elementary fair play and
equal justice before the law
are violated by the idea of
federal aid which excludes
millions of American young
sters.
ELEMENTARY CONCERN
for the future of religion, too,
should cause Protestants and
Jews to ask themselves wheths

state and local governments
cannot do the educating job

the wiser thing would be to
insist that the federal govern"

for America if federal aid be-

There is also a bad meaning,

It is no accident that the
phrase is a pet expression of

them to Justify oppression of
religion in any form.

poses to gain preference over
other churches.
In the wrong sense, "separ-
ton" means that the power of
government is employed to
discourage religion, and to
discriminate against religious
citizens.
1T IS NOW high time, it
seems to me. for all Amerl-
cans to begin to make the dis
tinction between the right
kind, and the wrong kind, of
separation of church and
state"
VIZ have a patriotic duty to
see through the sloganeering
of persons who use the phrase
as a cloak for working against
one particular religion, and in
the long run against the whole
religious heritage of the
American people.
For more than 10 years,
there has been a barrage of
propaganda In this country
which has blinded many
Americans to this necessary
distinction.
That propaganda | hold, has
been seriously harmful to
our country and promises to
grow ever more harmful.
