without an argument, that their an

1t has been my experience that they

~appendage of American capitalism"
which for many of them e some
thing much different from and much
worse than the kind of capitalism that
actually exists in the United States
at the present time.
AS RECENTLY as last month a
group of Latin American visitors talk
ed in these terms about American
trade unionism during a conversation
with me at NCWC. They were firmly
convinced, after travelling across the
United States for several weeks, that
the American labor movement is ul-
ira conservative, if not downright re-

americas unions wOrId's best

Does organized labor in the United
States have a consistent philosophy of
it's own or is it content to muddle
through pragmatically from day to
day without much concern for long
range goals or detectives? Is it Con
sentative" or progressive" by com
parison with its counterparts in Eu-
rope and other parts of the world?
DOES THE United States really
have a labor movement" Or does it
have merely a loose conglomeration
of separate and autonomous unions
which are not really interested in help
ing one another, except in critical sit
uations, and not greatly concerned
about the welfare of those workers
who don't belong to unions?
Whenever one is called upon to dis
cuss American trade unionism with
European or Latin American labor
leaders or Catholic social action rep
~resentatives either here or in their
w countries, he is almost certain
to be asked a number of questions
along these lines. And more often than

inferior to that available to other Catholics in the do
CeSeS.'
At the same time, Pope Plus reviewed the long and
impressive history of the care, both spiritual and ma
terial, which the Church has provided for refugees. He
goes back to st. Augustine and st. Ambrose, recalling
how the latter sacrificed the sacred vessels to ransom
the captives who had been taken after the defeat of the
Emperor Valentine near Adrianopolis, and who were ex-
posed not only to physical suffering but also to pressing
spiritual dangers.
st. Ambrose said: ut is far better to preserve souls
for the Lord than to preserve gold"
NOW, ON IT'S tenth anniversary, "Exsul Famila"
is being commemorated as another landmark in this rec
ord of the Church's concern for migrants. This week
pilgrims, many of them migrants, are gathering in Rome
from throughout the world to testify to the benefits Of
the programs instigated by Pope Plus document, and
to pay homage to the man who issued it.
Plus XII has been hailed as the "Provident Father
of the Exiled' and his memory will be long held in af-
lection by immigrants.
This anniversary is a reminder that the problems
of the refugee is still with us. Wherever we look, we see
uprooted peoples. Western Europe still receives those

Every age has its Jeremiahs, but
ours seems to have more than its
share. If we are to believe the hand
wringers, the country is in a bad way
and the future holds little hope.
ONE OF THE MOST recent jere-
miads has just been published by the
Center for the Study of Democratic
Institutions founded by the Fund for
the Republic. We are, says this SYM
postum, stepped in failures, and we
don't want to do anything about it.
We simply don't want to change the
status quo.
In a baccalaureate address a year
ago, the President of Yale University,
took note of what he called 1.-The great.
national, hundred per cent American
jeremiad."
1t goes like this:
I'VE are soft. We are spoiled. We
are lazy, flabby, undisciplined, in poor
physical condition, poorly educated,
beguiled with gadgets, bedazzled by
sex, uninterested in anything but u
comfort, unprepared for the respon-
sibilities fate has placed upon us, un-
ready for our destiny. In a word, we
are decadent."
1t all sounds very much like the
editorials in Pravda or a TRADE by
Fidel Castro, but, in fact, as the Yale
president pointed out, it is merely a
summary of the things that are being
said about us from pulpits, class
rooms, editorial offices and high
places in the government.
CONSIDER, for example, the
view of present-day American life
presented by Lewis Mumford in a re-
cent book, The City in History.

HIS CONCEPT of Cana was that

often been the source of resentment
and feelings of guilt in the hearts of
couples not blessed by God to a SINH

Now, however, the pendulum seems
to be swinging to the other extreme.
The present trend, al least in some
Catholic circles, is subtly land some

being made to feel guilty.
The new approach is that they

Racial justice

convention delegates of the Catholic Daughters of Amer
lea to develop an informed, fearless leadership in pro.
noting equal rights for Negroes everywhere.
But such leadership cannot be developed by occasional
and transient demonstrations for racial equality, as the
demonstrators would be the first to testify. True justice
cannot be achieved or maintained through temporary
measures. In the long run, only the citizens who live in
a community can effect a needed reform.
A substantial program for Catholics in the North
is outlined by Mathew Amman, executive director of
the National Catholic Conference for Interracial Justice.
in the August issue of The Catholic World. Some points
of the program are:
l. Catholic parents must recognize that our parochial
schools be open to all of the Faith, regardless of race
or color.
2. II employers should use their economic
power to break prejudice IN employment.
3. Our Investments, as well as real estate and build
ing contracts, should oppose discriminatory patterns.
4. Catholic individuals should help work out ways
to rehabiitate undermaintained housing, lower a%rtifici-
ally high high rents, reduce the density of overcroWded
tenements, and deal with the problem of Negro ghettos
in the city.
5. Practitioners should join with others in working
TO strengthen the kind of organization among Negroes
that will enable them to speak up for their own interests
and participate in civic life more fully.
In such areas, Amman says there is a great oppor-
tunity for Catholics to give witness, to provide religious
inspiration, to serve the people God created, and TO fight
blatant injustice.
THESE CONSIDERATIONS plus the impact of the
recent demonstrations should occasion an examination
of conscience by all of US.
Columbus has made progress in this matter during
the last few years. But we must move forward by sup.
porting the social action programs of the Diocesan.
Councils of Men and Women and the aims of our own
Catholic Interracial Council.
The Church was commissioned to be the friend OF
the oppressed with her doctrine of racial equality. What
we must do, in the words of Bishop Vincent S. Waters of
Raleigh, is to live the kind of lives that will distinguish
us from others of little or no convictions because we have
been chosen by God as Catholics to season the world
in which we live. -GAF

Our Jeremiahs don't understand men
By John G.. O'Brien

know what is good for us and the
American people cannot be trusted
to make judgments for themselves.
We are, the critics imply, just
too dumb to know what is good for
us. We don't even know, if we believe
some of our economists, how to spend
our money. We Squander it on amuSe-
ments, corrections. tobacco, alcoholic
beverages, cosmetics and the like in
stead of upon schools, hospitals, mus
Gums and other worthy enterprises.
COMMUNIST GOVERNMENTS,
of course, know how to deal with the
hayward impulses of their people.
They do not permit them to make fools
of themselves. They decide what they
shall read, what they shall be taught.
what professions they shall follow,
how they shall spend their money.
And, while the American Jere-
miahs would deny Indignantly that
they would like to see the American
people subjected to such dictation, it
so happens that the solutions they
propose almost uniformly call for
more and more government direction
of our lives. Within the breast of most
reformers burns an itch to make So
ciety over in the image of their par.
ticular Utopias.
There is, of course, some justifi-
cation for most of the criticism by
the Jeremiahs. But what they seem
to have forgotten is that every age
has had its faults. They seem to cling
to the 18th century belief in the per-
fectibility of man, forgetting, as one
contributor to the Fund symposium
pointed out, that the human being has
shortcomings and these would exist
whether or not America existed.

We were most surprised when last weeks editorial
on Sunday shopping caused some excitement after it
was highlighted by stories in the daily press and on
radio.
1T WAS THE fifth time we have commented on this
matter and last weeks editorial contained nothing new
except the reference to the proposed referendum to re-
lax Sunday sales.
We were unpleasantly surprised however, to hear
from a few Catholics who thought the principles out
lined were different from the traditional teaching of the
Church on the Lords Day.
May we remind the f~orgetful few that the Sunday
rest was an accepted universal Christian practice by the
end of the second century and that it was formulated
into law by the fourth century f%orbidding the kind OF
activity one normally did during the week to earn ones
living.
FURTHERMORE, may we recall that Canon 1248 Of
the Code of Canon Law not only forbids serVile work
but prohibits judicial procedures, public markets and
auctions, and other public buying and selling, unless
permitted by legitimate customs.
In the United States we do have a custom, which is
recognized by most state laws, that permits casual shop
ping in regard TO drug store products, gasoline and the
like. But business as usual is strictly forbidden. - GAF

Demonstrations in favor of racial mnorities made
news last week not only in Albany, Georgia but in
Columbus, Ohio.
Some citizens question the prudence and value of
such demonstrations and others even resort to force
to harass the participants.
Needless to say, brutality is never justified and if
a law is broken or rights infringed it is the business of
the police not private individuals No such violations
were reported here.
We do not wish to make a judgment on the merits
of local non-violent protests, except to say that the par
Elephants are dedicated and their demonstrations bring
into dramatic and sharp focus a matter which concerns
all Catholics-the cause of racial justice.
THIS CONCERN was underlined recently by Arch
bishop Urban ]. Vehr of Denver when he called upon
