major insurance companies in
the United States to point out
to them that they have not
made an honest effort to see
that the mortgage money they
have available finds its way

States can get along without unions
and might indeed be better off with
out them.
My own guess is that the II " Is
million organized workers in the
United States will resent this attempt
on the part of the NAM to undermine
their confidence in the effectiveness
of their unions.
AND THE FACT that MANS con-
illusions are buttressed with a battery
of statistics will not make these con-
illusions any more palatable to Amer
lean workers, for they are well aware
of the fact-which the NAM itself is
compelled to admit - that 1.-THE eff
feet of unions on millions of people
over several generations cannot be
demonstrated with the high degree
of statistical certainty that constitutes
proof in the physical sciences'-and
that controlled experiments cannot
be designed for this purpose.
/ would say that the publication of
MANS critical study of union power
was a serious mistake. The NAM has
every right to disagree with organized
labor on specific issues, but to at
tempt to persuade the American peo-
pie at this late date that unions are
not necessary land have never been
necessary and to couple this argu-
ment with a vague appeal for further
restrictions on unions is reckless to
say the least.
The practicable result of the re-
lease of MANS study will be a fur

The current dispute between the
Kennedy Administration and its crit
les over policy toward the Soviet I'M
ions interposition in Cuba has
brought the Monroe Doctrine to the
lips of thousands of Americans.
Constituents are writing to cor
gressmen asking when they are going
to support the Monroe Doctrine. And
critics of the President are reminding
him that Soviet activities in the pearl
of the Antilles constitute a "viola-
ton" of that historic declaration.
There is reason to doubt, however,
that many who talk so glibly about
the doctrine know what it states or
whether in a legal n it has been
violated.
In their impatience for positive &C.
ton to halt the Soviet build-up in
Cuba, many Americans are using the
Monroe Doctrine as a slogan, as RE
member the Maine was The slogan of
the war party which clamored for war
against Spain in 1898.
While most Americans agree that
the United States would be compelled
to act if the Soviet Union converted
Cuba into a threat against the securi-
ty of the United States, there is grave
question whether the Monroe Doc
trine presently has clear application
to the question of safeguarding the
security of the Western hemisphere.
IN THE FIRST PLACE, there are
differences of opinion as to what the
words of President Monroe really
mean.
Recent agreements between the
United States and the Latin American
countries have altered the scope of the
doctrine and the United States has
thrown one part of it into the ash
can.

the right Of unions to exist. 1.-The
right of voluntary association" it
says, "is fundamental in our society
and is not dependent on proof of the
achievement of specific social purpos-
es."
The study, however, not only ques-
tons but flatly denies the contention
that unions are necessary for the
we'll being of the organized segment
Of the population" 1t also denies that
the interests of American workers
would be i%eopardized If unions we're
to be subjected to further restraints"
1--WE HAVE not attempted in this
paper" the authors of the NAM study
point out in conclusion, ito establish
criteria for differentiating the 'legiti-
mate activities of unions, in concrete
cases, from their 'illegitimate' ones.
The legislators, judges, administra-
tors, lawyers and others who have to
cope with those problems on the daily
basis will find them as puzzling as
ever. THE question with which we
have dealt is the one that is prior to
such problems: Would we, in impos-
ing restraints on the power of labor
unions, run a grave risk of losing ben
efits that would otherwise accrue TO
Americas working people?
THE answer is no."
1t may have been pure coincidence
that the NAM chose to release this
study on the V of Labor Day. In
any event, the critical tone of the
study and the peculiar timing of its
release were certainly not calculated
to add to organized labor's sense of Sc
curity on the occasion of labor's an
nual holiday.
The leaders of organized labor
would be less than human if they did
not interpret its publication on the eve
of Labor Day as a call to arms, for

trine was enunciated by President
Monroe in his seventh annual message
to Congress on Dec. 2, 1923.
AT that time Imperial Russia, in
concert with Austria and Prussia, IN
dertook to revive the doctrine of the
divine right of kings and to put an end
to the system of representative gov
eminent by directing their efforts to
ov%erthrowing the new governments
erected out of former Spanish colonies
in South America.
Monroe declared that 1--WE should
consider any attempt on their part Con
the part of the Holy Alliance) to ex-
tend their system to any portion OF
this hemisphere as dangerous to u
peace and safety" He also said I'VE
could not view any interposition for
the purpose of depressing them (the
South American republics), of con-
trolling in any manner their destiny,
by any European power in any other
light than as the manifestation of an
%unfriendly disposition toward the
United States"
Immediately the question arises,
"Are the activities of the Soviet I'M
ion in Cuba of the type Monroe de-
clared intolerable to the United
States?"
Those who maintain that the Soviet
Union is violating the doctrine an
swer in the affirmative. They say the
Soviet Union is extending its sys-
tenn in a part of the western hemi-
sphere for the purpose of depressing
the Cuban people.
But those who question that the
Monroe doctrine applies to the situa-
ton in Cuba point out that the cur
rem Intervention is not of the kind
Monroe was trying to head off.

EVERYMAN'S FAMILY
It's wise to put
first things first
by Father John Knott

This approach probably does not
follow the typical pattern of Ameri"
can dating and courtship. Here you
had a more mature fellow who had
his goals lined up in their proper or-
der. He wanted marriage, but he want"
ed an education first. So first things
first. He took steps to avoid deep
emotional involvement before he was
ready for marriage.
HE LIKED to date girls but he was
also aware of the deep attraction that
can exist between a man and a woman.
Instead of drifting along of an ve-
ming allowing the physical attraction
to build up into a necking and petting
session he, in a sense, planned the date
to be an intellectually and emotionally
stimulating experience.
He saw no contradiction in being a
good Catholic and having fun on a
date. He had a good time and gave a
good time and if he ended the evening
with a goodnight kiss it was probably
the first of the evening and not the
caboose on a long train of other ges-
lures. He saw a date as an opportunity
to explore the mystery of another per-
sons mind and heart and not just an
other body.
The girl he finally marries should
be in for a very interesting and loving
life.
Many parents could learn much,
too, from this young man who had
the practical wisdom to put first
things first. They might encourage
their offspring in the real art of
choosing what is more important even
at the sacrifice of what at the mo.
ment might be more ple%asurable.
THIS is the constant job of the
parent - helping the young child to
decision, encouraging the older child
to the right choice, discussing why
n thing is more important and
sometimes insisting that the child as
sumo responsibility, do a job or obey
a rule.
It car be a wearing job but the end
result is the production of an adult.
One mark of the adult is that he can
run his w life because he has devel-
oped the capacity to make decisions
by himself.

must respect His creation and
men have to go along with the way
God made them.
So just as things are not able to set
up their own order in physical nature,
men are not really free to set up their
own moral order.
HE SAID "A purely legal order, in
dependent of all ethical reference, and
therefore without any relation to re-
ligion and morality, if not a contra
diction in terms, at least is in total con-
tradiction to the de lactO economy Of
Gods creation"
We commend the preacher and the
men of the st. Thomas More Society
for publicly re-affirming that the uni
versal moral law is the foundation Of
society and that the state is subject
to judgment by a law that is inherent
in the nature of men.-GAF

He was a senior at q State Univer-
sity, somewhat older than his class
mates, since he had spent a few years
in the Marines. He had plans to do
postgraduate work. He did not have
much money at the moment and could
not see himself financially able TO
marry for at least a couple of years.
HE SAID, Father, my problem is
that / like girls" He smiled as he
said it, indicating he was not too UNI
happy with his problem"
He continued, Il just want TO stay
out of trouble morally. / can't afford
at the moment to get involved emo
tionally, but | do like girls. They fas-
cinate me-"

so" he grinned, 81 think I've got
it licked and, boy, am | getting a lib
eral education in women"
He went on to explain that he dated
a girl, usually a different one, each
weekend. He found out a few things
about her beforehand and then pro-
ceeded to take the opposite viewpoint.
If she was a Democrat, he became a
Saturday evening Republican.
If she was a Catholic, he attacked
the Church's policies in certain areas.
If she liked the Yankees, he couldn't
stand them. If she was concerned
about the overpopulation scare, he rid
iculed it as a lot of exaggerated non
sense.
ALWAYS considerate and gentle
manly in his attitude towards his
date, he yet took the lead in stimulat-
ing discussion and opening up areas
of emotional and mental reactions that
made for a very interesting evening.
He observed that he learned a lot
about girls, was fascinated by the way
they thought and reacted and in the
process got to know himself better
and what he was looking for in a flu
ture wife.
A side benefit was that he had no
trouble getting a second date with the
same girl. She usually wanted to con-
tinue the discussion with some new
arguments for her point of view.

ed to the use of force to impose an ur-
wanted system upon the South Amer.
lean Republics.
But the Castro regime, while it may
not represent all the Cuban people,
voluntarily adopted the communist
system and invited the Russians to
come in to help them set it up.
In such circumstances, is the Rus.
sian penetration a violation of the
Monroe Doctrine?
A corollary Of Monroe's warning to
Europe to stay out of the western
hemisphere was a commitment that
we would not interfere in the internal
concerns of any European power. But
events unseen when Monroe was alive
have forced us to interfere.
We maintain troops in Germany al
a party to the NATO pact, we have
sent military advisers to South Wet
nam and we maintain a ring of mill.
tary bases in many European coun-
tries.
CHANGING TIMES have compelI-
ed a new and modified practice with
respect to intervention in foreign
countries. And changing times also
have compelled us to convert the Mon
roe Doctrine from a unilateral to a
hemisphere policy.
Fearful of the resentment of Latin
American countries against United
States intervention in any one of
them, we concluded agreements with
our Latin American neighbors making
them partners in the enforcement of
the doctrine, reserving, however, the
right to act alone if we could not get
their support.
The conclusion to be drawn from all
this is that, as matters stand in Cuba.
the Monroe Doctrine is not a strong
foundation on which to base u poll
cy toward what is going on.

THE YARDSTICK

A critical analysis of the impact Of
labor unions on the American econo-
my has been released by the National
Association Of Manufacturers.
NOTING the widely held belief that
unions are responsible for the i'm
provement in the living standards of
working people the NAM study states
fatty that this contention Is unsup~
ported by the facts.
Entitled Economic implications of
Union Power" the study asserts that
union power, far from contributing TO
the welfare of American workers, has
resulted in unemployment In many
areas and industries.
The 64-page NAM study, which is
designed TO provoke public discus
sion of the role of unions in today's
economy, explores the effects of I'M
ion power on employment, money
wages and real wages.
AS to employment, the NAM study
argues that the weight of evidence
demonstrates that union demands are
likely to be made at the cost of jobs
of members and nonmembers as well.
AS to money wages, the NAM study
contends that unions can force them
up-beyond those prevailing and be-
yond what is economically feasible.
However, with the inevitable eco
nomic consequences of unemployment
or initiation, it is a Pyrrhic victory"
the study says.
THE TREND in real wages has
been upward during the entire course
of the nations history, the study cor
tends, pointing out that this trend an
tedates the growth of unionism. 1.-THE
forces motivating these increases have
been economic and impersonal-
growth and competition" the study
says.
