Congress in 1855 passed law
providing that the inscription
should appear on u. S. currency.
But it permitted printing of the
old bills until the plates were no
longer disable. Last September the
last dollar certificates without the
motto were printed, and late next
year the inscription will begin
appearing on bills of higher de-
nomination. The old-style curren-
cy will circulate for many years,
however.
Actually, the dollar bill is a
questionable place to declare ma
tons trust in God. There is con-
siderable evidence that as a nation
we put more trust in the dollar.

the stimulus of other and less ex-
hausted strains. The fact that they

civilization in A amer lea. They
shake the old race out of its
spiritual lethargy, and introduce it
to disquiet and experiment. They
make for a free play of ideas. In
opposing the process, whether in

mented. I feel that something
must be done, and done fast, or
the misunderstanding will grow.
| mean the misunderstanding that
grows with the illusion that local
prelates o n d n second class
Christianity by their silence. This
allows for permissive climate of
suppression. The whole tenor that
is created by racists, polite al
demagogues and SO forth is not re-
butted by this silence, as Bishop
Gerrow states, was certainly in
part responsible for the murder of
Medgar Evers. Now we cannot,
must not, have an Evers in every
diocese to awaken us to the need
to shout from the housetops the
teachings of the Church on justice
and human dignity"
Griffin: My impression, and l
would like to see if it corresponds
with yours, is that in the past few
years Negroes-both Catholic and
Catholic = have become pro-
gressively disillusioned with the
Catholic Church, and this because
of this tacit segregation and all
it implies and our slowness to
correct it.
Thompson: That appears to be
true, and it is an agonizing adj
mission for me to make. But it is
only by practioing what we preach
that we can hope to undo this
disillusion. I am not exaggerating
when l say this is a deeply dis
turbing an d widespread feeling
among NJ groes. The apparent
gains very often S low up to
Negroes as merely other aspects
of tokeniSm. Even many of the
authentic gains appear in
suspicious light.
Griffin: Have we lost ground in
this area?
Thompson: We have. There are
many Catholics who do not go to
Church because the pain of this
kind of humiliation is simply un-
bearable. Think of going to
Church, going to Communion, and
in order to receive Christ you must
wait until every white Catholic
has gone to the Com m u n o n
Table and returned to his seat
knowing that you might well be
skipped if you approached the
altar while some white person was
still there. Think of that en-

couraging people to receive Com
munion. Many do, of course, but
with deep sense of sickness, and
then resentment that even this
great Sacrament should be clouded
in indignity for them. Many are
so affronted by this that they fall
away or simply do not enter the
Church-and think of this ire
mendous harvest of souls we lose
by simply disgusting them away
from the Church. Believe me, this
is known by Negro all over
America, by Negroes who h ave
never been in the South at all.
Once disillusioned, it is most diff
cult to rekindle illusions-so the
resonances of our fault here
spread outward and outward to
disgust souls everywhere.
Griffin: Prejudiced Catholics,
even the really bigoted ones, are
surely una ware of all of this,
aren't they, Father?
Thompson: Oh, yes, they are un-
aware of most of it. And the
difficulty lies in the fact that
Southerners always think they
know everything b out "their
Negroes So the agedy, as
Gerald Vann once remarked, lies
not in the fact that they are large
ly unaware of all this, but in the
fact that they are unaware of their
unawareness. I know this is the
truth, and this is why l have
spoken so frankly. Our inter-
group conflicts have now become
critical. We can see clearly to
what horrors racism leads even
when it walks in benign guise,
as religious guise. It dehuman-
ICES all of us. Every soul that is
disillusioned with Christianity is a
soul for which we have some res
possibility. Each day we see more
Negroes disillusioned with what
they call "the white mans Christ
ianity." And each day we see
more whites disillusioned with the
same scandal; let's not forget that.
Men are talking about the failure
of Christianity and turning away
not because Christianity is a
failure, God knows-but because
it appears SO ough the bad
actions of Christians.
Griffin: What are the answers,
Father?
Thompson: The answers are not
simple but the Church has given
them. The Church has told us
what Man is, a res sacra or sacred
reality -. res sacra regardless
of color She has told us that
strict justice admits of no modifi-
cation, and that anything less than
strict justice is simply injustice,
regardless of what you choose to
name it. Let every Catholic, no
matter what his color, become a
real Catholic, a true Catholic. To
prevent a man from being fully
Catholic and to expect him to be
satisfied-these are both against
the very nature of the Faith.

his statement that truth requires

is safely dead and ought to be
left to his rest?"
Then, with the answer comes
the light. Geismar cares little, yea
or nay, about the narcotic James
himself, but he cares powerfully
about the vendors of the narcotic,
&c. the James cult OF native
critics who instinctively and
unanimously selected this master
for their study and worship, their
marvellous works of exploitation
and exegesis, soaring ever higher
into the empyrean void of abso-
lute and Immaculate art" Isn't
that good, Going on: "The real
trouble with all the Jacobites is
that they are wholly committed
to their cause. Thus they are no
longer critics so much as apolog-
ists-or esthetic theologists-who
must rationalize every issue in
favor of their royal subject, their
literary emperor, if not their
god" So Geismar objects to the
visible erosion of ethics within his
own profession; he is cleaning his
house.
Do you like Elizabethan invec-
tive? Do you like a good running
gunfight? Do you think there's
no CUTS in criticism any more?
Then hear Geismar on the New
Critics: Il stress this state
ment because it represents tn e
high pitch of F. O. Matthiessen's
own absurdity in the historical
area when it concerned itself with
Henry James: just as we have
noticed previously the tangle OF
Matthiessen's esthetic judgments
when they describe James. And
both Dupee and Matthiessen are
perhaps the best Of the Jacobite
critics, if we omit the inflomed and
cloudy rhetoric of Mr.. Blackburn;
the pontifical judgments OF Mr..
label; the committed sensibility
of Mr.. Edel; or the fervent meta
physical neutrality-suspicious. of Mr..
Stallman; not to mention the
sheer poetic license of the two
expatriated English poets, Auden
and Spender." Can you hear the
bellows of the gored and fallen?
Herman Wouk, if asked, could
have told these gentlemen what
Geismar does when pushed too
far.
Missing from the book is any
suggestion that Henry James was
a human being; we see only a
tortured, reacting thing, like a sea
anemone, locked in an upstairs
room, tittering over its crucibles,
mechanistic of plot snippets, and
buttering on layer after layer OF
synthetic complication. DR.. Freud
with his ever-dirty mind) is con
sultant in the case, and Geismar,
in cold medical anger, is not dis
posed to play fair with disease.
Watching Geismar bully the
Epicenes, I got the same uneasy
feeling of guilt did years ago
when we used to kick apart ant
hills for something to do.

into battle, and even when he has
it behind him he is very uneasy,
and prone to fall into panic at the
first t h r t of genuine danger.
Here l put an unimpeachably
Anglo-Saxon witness on the stand,
to wit. the late Charles w. Eliot.
l find him saying, in an article
quoted with appreciation by the
Congressional Record, that during
the Revolutionary War the colon
lists now hymned to eloquently in
the School-books 'fell into con-
dition Of despondenc from which
nothing but the steadfastness OF
Washington and the Continental
army and the aid from Fra &C
saved them," and that when the
War of 1912 brought grave losses
a considerable portion OF the
population experienced moral
collapse, from which they were
rescued only by the exertions OF
few thoroughly patriotic states
men and the exploits of three or
four American frigates on the
seas''-to say nothing of an enter
prising Corsican gentleman, Bona
parte by name.
In both there wars the Ameri-
cans had enormous and obvious
advantages, in terrain, in allies
and in men: nevertheless, they
fought, in the main, very badly,
and from the first shot to the last
a majority of them stood in favor
of making peace on almost any
terms. The Mexican and Spanish
Wars 1 pass over as perhaps TOO
obscenely ungallant to be dis
cussed at all; of the former, U. 5.
Grant, who fought in it, said that
it was "the most unjust war ever
waeed by st r on 6 er against a
weaker nation" Who remembers
that, during the Spanish War, the
whole Atlantic Coast trembled IN
fear of the Spaniards' feeble fleet
that all New England had hys-
terics every time a strange coal
barge was sighted on the skyline,
that the safe-deposit boxes OF
Boston were emptied their
contents transferred to Worcester,
and that the Navy had to organ

it who also remember
that during World War l the en-
tire country went wild with fear
of an enemy who, without the aid
of divine intervention, obviously
could not strike it blow at all
and that the great moral victory
was gained at last with the assist
ance of twenty-one allies and at
odds of eight to one.
But the American Civil War
remains? Does it, indeed The
almost unanimous opinion of the
North, in 1861, was that it would
be over after few small battles;

dangerously, the common people of
the Confederacy threw up the
sponge, and so the catastrophe,
when it came at last, was mainly
internal. The South failed to bring
the quaking North to standstill
because, to borrow phrase that
DR.. Eliot uses in n t h e con-
nection, it Inexperienced a moral
collapse of unprecedented depth
and DURATION The folks at home
failed to support the troops in the
field, and the troops in the field
began to desert. Even SO early as
Shiloh, indeed, many Confederate
regiments were already refusing to
fight.
This reluctance for desperate
chances and hard odds, SO obvious
in the military record of the
English speaking nations, is also
conspicuous in times of p e e.
What a man of another and super
ior stock almost always notices,
living among so-called A n o.
Saxons, is (a) their incapacity for
for prevailing in fair rivalry,
either in trade, in the fine arts of
in what is called learning - in
brief their general Incompetence,
and CD their invariable effort to
make up for this incapacity by
putting some inequitable burden
upon their rivals, usually by force.
The Frenchman, I believe, is the
worst of chauvinists, but once he
admits foreigner to his country
he at least treats that foreigner
fairly, and does not try to penal
ize him absurdly for his m ere
foreigness. The Anglo S axon
American is always trying to do it;
his history is a history of recurrent
outbreaks of b i n rage against
people who have begun to worst
him. Such movements would be
inconceivable in an efficient and
genuinely self-confident people,
wholly assured of their superiority,
and they would be equally incon-
ceivable in a truly gallant
courageous people, disdaining UNI
fair advantages and overwhelming
odds. theoretically launc h ed
against some imaginary inferiority
in the non-Anglo-Saxon man,
either as patriot, as democrat or as
Christian, they are t u a III y
launched at his general superior
ity, his greater fitness to survive
in the national environment. The
effort is always to penalize him
for winning in fair fight, to handi-
cap him in such manner that he
will sink to the general level of
the Anglo-Saxon population, and,
if possible, even below it. Such
devices, of course, never have the
of the Anglo-Saxon
minority tn a is automatically
superior, and hence self confident
and tolerant. But that minority is
pathetically S m IL and it tends
steadily to grow smaller and
feebler. The communal laws and
the communal mores are made by
the folk, and they offer all the
proof that is necessary, not only
of its general inferiority, but also
of its alarmed awareness of that
inferiority. The normal American
of the "pure-blooded" majority
goes to rest every night with an
uneasy f e l in 6 that there is a
burglar under the bed, and he gets
up every morning with a sicken-
ing fear that his underwear has
been stolen.

need for water.

three times as much water as |
used to. This is not uncommon on
the dry desert country of the re-

not able TO tolerate the dryness.
Even in wet countries, babies and
children need lots of water. Here
they need it even more. Each sum-
uer we see children who become
very i'll and even die because they
are too dry. What happens is they
get sick with diarrhea, fever and
vomiting. They lose more water
than usual by vomiting and watery
bowel movements. With fever the
