is that a sufficient reason for
some to take unjust advantage
Of their superiority over others:
Rather should they see in 1t an
added motive for more serious
commitment to the common
cause Of social progress.
It is not true that some
human beings are by nature
superior and others inferior.
All men are equal in their
natural dignity. Consequently
there are no political communi-
ties which are superior by
nature and none which are in
ferior by nature. =.
Relations between political
communities are to be further
regulated by justice. This i'm
plies, over and above recogni-
ton Of their mutual rights, the
fulfillment of their respective
duties. >.
Just as an individual man
may not pursue his own in
terests to the detriment Of
other men, so, on the inter-
national level, one state may
not develop itself by restricting
or depressing other states. /.
Would Protect Minorites
The demands Of justice are
admirably observed by those
civil authorities who promote
the natural betterment Of those
citizens belonging to a smaller
ethnic group, particularly when
that betterment concerns their
language, the development Of
their natural gifts, their ances-
tral customs, and their accom-
plishments and endeavorS in
the economic order.
Certainly relations between
states must be regulated by the
norrns Of truth, and justice. but
they also derive great benefits
from active solidarity. through
mutual cooperation on various
levels. such as in our own times
has already taken place with
laudable results in the eco-
nomic. social, political edu-
cational, health and sport
spheres.
Collaboration Hoped For
AS everybody knows, there
are countries with an abund-
ance of arabic land and a scar
city of manpower, while In
other countries there is no pro-
portion between natural re-
sources and the capital avail
able.
This demands that peoples
should set up relationship oi
mutual collaboration, facilitat-
ing the circulation from one tc
the other of capital, goods, and
manpower.
Here we deem it opportunt
to remark that, whenever pos
sible, the work to be done
should be taken to the work.
ers, vice vice versa.
1 In this way a possibility OF
a better future is offered II
many persons without being
forced to leave their own en-.
vironment in order to seek resi-
dence elsewhere, which almost
always entails the heartache oi
separation and difficult periods
Of adjustment and social in
tegration.
Political Refugees
The sentiment Of universe
fatherhood which the Lord ha
placed in our heart makes u
feel profound sadness in con
sidering the phenomenon o
political refugees: A phenom
enon which has assumed larg
proportions and which alway
hides numberless and acut
sufferings.
