Ceylon-"It's
a real disability to be a Cath
Ollie in Ceylon today" That
is the verdict of a Ceylonese
who has witnessed the anti
Christian trends and activi-
ties of the last two years
here.
The Christians of Ceylon
are estimated at nine per
cent of the total population
of some $500, 900. More than
three-fourths of the Ceylon-
csc Christians are Catholics.
About IS per cent of the pop
ulation are Buddhists.
The present government,
which came to power in July,
1860 has taken openly anti
Christian measures. Buddhist
extremists, communists and
other leftists have backed the
government with unconcealed
glee in every action and pro-
poSal destined to harass their
Christian fellow-citiZens.
THE OFFICIAL discrimf-
nation against Catholics is
being reflected now in bust
ness life. A young Catholic
applying for a job may find
that his qualifications are
Cancelled by his religion.
This is contrary to the toler-
ance preached by Buddhism.
Many Ceylonese Buddhists
are ashamed of the unfair
ness shown towards Christ
ians and their Institutions.
Some of them have spoken
out courageously against it.
The big offensive against
Christianity was the taking
over of Christian schools last
year. These schools had been
receiving full government
support, on condition that
they gave free tuition, for
about 10 years. In 1860 and
1861 laws were passed by
which the government took
over these assisted schools
and teacher-training colleges.
These institutions had been
built by the Church and re-
ligious communities at their
own expense on land bought
by them. Now the law west
ed in the Crown, without
compensation, the property
of assisted schools" includ-
ing all movable property and
moneys held for these
schools Ceylon being a do
minion in the British Com
monwealth, "vesting in the
Crown" is just legal termi-
nology for confiscation by
the state.

On the issue of the constitu-

Prof. Freund said that although
the ceremony is in form voluntary,
the atmosphere Of the school
room and the confOrmist psy-
chology of school children are
such that in a meaningfuI and
realistic sense such exercises are
in fact coercive.
They are thus inferferenees
with the free exercise or non-
exercise of religion on the part
Of non-eonformist groups" he
said, adding:
Whatever ones feelings about
the decision, one thing is clear:
so long as we expect our courts

are not at liberty TO undermine
