Children Need To Be

to give the best things in life
to the children" But a child
must learn that life is pretty
good as it is, and that happi-
ness resides within oneself
rather than In comforts or
higher standards of living or
any such circumstances.
Successful parents, then,
usually remember and OBJ
serve the following:
u THEY SHOULD be with
their children as much as pos
sibIe and especially at home.
This is essential for the small
child. since a parents pres
ence affords him protection
and affection and gives him a
foundation of emotional Sc
curity. OF course, as the child
grows older he should be al
lowed to leave but never be
left.
q A CHILD BEGINS to be
understood by a parent who
simply listens to him. With
careful tuning one learns the
meaning behind his garbled
grammar and fumbling ges-
lures.
81 AS He CROWS older a
child's great need is for par
ents to talk to him or pref
erably with him. Because this
is so important it is well to
try to set aside a certain time
for each child each day or
week.

rules for approval of saints.
In the broad sense all those in
the state of grace and all those
confirmed in grace (the souls
in heaven) could be consider
ed saints. Good men and wom-
en- of all religions could then
be included. Extraordinarily
holy people of other religions
might be received in heaven
as equal to our canonized
saints but for that we must
await judgment day. All Saints
day is our recognition that
canonized saints represent
only a few selected examples
chosen by the Church. The
essential note of a saint,
strictly speaking, must be the
acceptance of the Church es-
tablished by Christ Himself.

Jacques Douillet)
@. Could the end OF the
world come by natural means
e.s. by atomic explosions set
off by men?
A. When God decides and
as God decides. That is all
we know. 1t would seem pos
Sible that if man committed
the insane suicidal act of
spraying atomic bombs all
over the place God might use
such a time as the acceptable
time for the end of the world.
1t might be remembered, how
ever, that man cannot force
Gods hand in the matter. We
can do great harm but no one
can say just when the end of
our world will come Matthew

Children are necessary
or almost necessary for
happiness in marriage. A
deliberate refusal to have
any children is almost a
decision of extreme selfish
ness, and a couple too selfish
to live with children as a rule
prove too selfish to live with
each other.
CHILDREN REPRESENT a
magnificent opportunity for
the practice of love. They are
prepared to receive but not to
give, to be loved but not to
love. But the planned" child
may become a hazard. This
child is often for the parents
only an object manufactured
to fill their own obscure
needs. A child is not looked
upon as a soul entrusted to
meir care.
A couple, then, who refuse
to have a child in order to
enjoy a new home Or car or
major" appliances or social
status will sooner or later
find it hard to enjoy each 9th
er. They, therefore, have yet
to learn about love.

children often plead, 81 have
only two or three children be-
cause / want them to have the
things / never could have" or

The Yardstick
los Battle Against Slave
Labor, Discrimination
by Msgr. George G. Higgins

In this sphere of endeavor,
the facilities of the Interna-
tional Labor Organization
were put to an unusual test
a few years ago. Unions of
railway workers in southern
Peru pulled out on strike for
better wages and conditions of
employment. Rail transporta-
ton was paraiyzed Unable to
settle the dispute, the govern
ment of Peru asked the HO
for technical advice.
DR.. PIER PAoLo FANo,
chief of HOS International
Organizations Division and an
expert on industrial relations,
was sent to the scene. After
a month of negotiations, DR..
Fano came up with a group of
proposals resulting in a set
Element between the disput-
ants. His proposals were based
upon standards and practices
which have long been basic to
Ito policy.
However, this experience is
unique in the LO, which does
not normally enter into the
internal problems of member
states. Here was a case where
assistance was needed urgent
ly and the LILO had the man
and the facilities to do a high
ly specialized job of reconcil-
ing interests in a seething con-
troversy which could have, but
did not explode.

opment within the lnterna-

bers be persuaded that sup
porting their church schools
is too onerous a burden. The
obvious implication here is
that Catholics, in complaining
about the burden of double
taxation for paro c h / and
public schools, are giving way
to a n%eurotic self-pity.
''In the face of such con-
spicuouS proof that every
church can take care of its
own and that its own can take
care of every church, it
would seem hard to picture
the church schools and uni
verSities nowadays as victims
of abject poverty" Gratuitous
claims such as this, without
facts, figures Or other evil
dence, sound strange coming
from such an eminent legal
expert as Mr.. Calm. He dis
misses without consideration
a vast mass of factual evil
dence showing the actual fl
nancial plight of Catholic
schools in certain parts of
the country. .rs
THE THIRD diabolic sug-
gestion is that the State
should give the churches ev-
erything they ask for proyid-
ed churchmen solemnly aver
these concessions are not Sec
tartan aids but benefits to the
citizen as citizen. The SUI

with the youngsters they try
to make sure the atmosphere
is relaxed and objective. Noise
almost always is a problem.
The radio, TV, grinding APP
pliances, city noises, aimless
conversation seem to pull
ones attention in all direc-
tons simultaneo u i Unre-
hitting noise has a harmful
effect on just about anybody's
nerves - and minds! We are
now, because of the times,
less able to concentrate, to
listen carefully, to mediate,
to study. A kindergarten
teacher once remarked that
her primary purpose was to
teach the children how to lis
ten: there's always so much
noise at home that youngsters
just stop listening.
s. A CHILD indispensably
needs explicit signs that he
is loved. An adult can under
stand that love can be ex.
pressed by services rendered,
by cheerfulness in the face of
irritability, by silence when
annoyed; but a child in his
Self-centered world is not
assured by these mere express
sions. He needs to be told
explicitly. A kiss, a hug, a
Z gentle pat on the head can, of
course, give a child a happy
feeling of nearness to his par.
ents and a sense of belonging.

tional Labor Organization in
its recent history was the
adoption in 1857 of a conven-
ton to outlaw forced labor in
the world. Work on such a
convention began in 1947
when the American Fedora.
ton of Labor asked the Unit
ed Nations to investigate fore
ed labor in the Soviet Union
and communist = dominated
countries.
An ad hoe committee was
appointed in the LILO to inves-
tigate the charge of forced la
Dor. AS a logical consequence
of its findings, a convention
was drafted.
THE FORCED LABOR con-
%vention, the 105th drafted by
the ILO, forbidS the practice
of forced or compulsory labor
as a means of political coer-
cion or education or as a pun
ishment for holding or ex-
pressing opposing political
views within a country or as
a means of labor discipline,
for having participated in
strikes or as a means of racial,
social, national or religious
discrimination.
In the United States there
is no forced labor within the
meaning of the convention so
that ratification Of the con-
vention would have no direct
effect in this country. For
this reason, together with a
broad policy against unneces-
sarily entering into treaties

dom by parents. The family
can be limited by the state
which can take children away
from neglectful parents. In
various times there may be &C
cidental variations but there
can be no substantial change
in the natural rights of the in
dividual or of the family.
Ethics and sociology indicate
the nature of these rights.
Christian social principles (see
Father Cronin's "Catholic So
cial Principles") study these
rights with the additional light
of Gods revelation.

If you were determin-

States, how would you 60
about it? This is the ques-
ton Edmond Calm discusses
in the lead article in the No

the Churches" He declares
himself to be a supporter of
organized religion, anxious to
preserve the integrity of its
institutions. He is a professor
of law at New York Unlyer-
Sity.
THE DEVICE
used by C. S. Lewis in his
Serewfape Letters, Calm calls
upon a devil, Mephistopheles,

Editor:
The movement to have
the Mass in English seems
to be gaining many adj
herents. If this would
really bring about one
fold and one shepherd then
! should be all for it. How
ever some questions do come
to my mind.
is THERE ANY REAL evil
dence to support the theory
that as one reader suggests,
having the Mass in English
would double Church member
ship in this country in five
years? Surely priests with
convert instructing exper-
fence would have some
thoughts on this. Would the
Mass in English bring back
many who have left the
Church?
| humbly suggest that many
lay people who advocate Eng
lish do not understand the diff
ficulties Of translation. Sure
ly a sung Mass translated into
English using the same mu-
sic will present problems.
would "Dominus vobis-
cum" become "The Lord be
with You" or 1.-THE Lord be
with yOu-all' or even with
youse"?
WHAT OF PARISHES with
large foreign born and nom
English speaking congrega-
tons? Surely the more highly
industrialized sections of Ohio
have these.

of columns on the Inter-

cation attention has been
called to Hos efforts to
raise living standards around
the world by the adoption of
recommendations as to legis-
lation which might be enacted
and conventions (treaties)
which might be ratified by

cited practical examples of

This week we turn to a dis
cussion of HOS activities in
the field of Acknowledgement
relations and its efforts TO
wipe out discrimination and
eliminate the horrible evil of
slave labor.
ANOTHER AREA OF Ito
concern today is in the field
of labor-management relations.
Ito is seeking to expand its
work so as to provide services
which management and labor
need in order to cope success
fully with their own problems.
A program involving research
and educational and technical
