Self-IndulgenceistheEnemyofLiberty

Verbosityand Indolence Distinguishing Marks of Revolutionary Literature—

by ARNOLD LUNN, from "The Universe.•

The culture of medieval Europe was the flower of aphilosophy in which freedom was safeguarded by restraint. Private property was protected by a philosophy of social safeguards which condemned "the pursuit of wealth for itsown sake."

Christianity is asystem not of uncomprising vetoes but of balanced restraints. The Church denounced ava. rice, but defended the legitimacy of private property against the predecessors of modern Communists. She en. deavoured not to abolish but to restrain the profit motive by determin. ing the principles of that Just Price which should be fair to merchant, worker and consumer. She condemned adultery and fornication, but defended the purity of marital relations against the Cathari who condemned sex as in. trinsically unclean. She condemned drunkenness, but refused to follow the Manichee in his condemnation of wine. She strove-for peace, but she parted from the extremer pacifists in her attemptsSodefinetheexacting,conditions which justifiedwarorrebellion.

The Christian ethic is, and has alwaysbeen tooexactingfor the"average sensual man," but high standards are not necessarily valueless because few people attain them. There roust always be alagbetween preachingand practice, and where standards are lowered, the practice is correspondingly lowered.

Within the framework of restraint the Christian life flowers in an ordered freedom, all the more precious by contrast with the enslavement of mind and body imposed by atheistic Communism. Itisnotself-controlbut selfindulgence which is the enemy of liberty.

The abandonment of self-control, which disguises itself as acrusade for freedom, has flavoured the word "restraint" with asense of diminution. We are beginning to forget that restraints often serve to canalise power and to prevent the weak disintegration of force.Asit nearsthesea, the Rhone, which as in the past often wasted its

energy in diffose floods, now flows in a s

trong stream between restraining hanks w•hi,It uiginecrs have strength.ned and reinforced.

Itis atiredand enfeebled civilisation which chafes at restraints. The most striking characteristic of Medieval Europe was the dynamic energy which drew strength from aChristian source.

Bergson, by race it Jew, and by con. viction far removed from Christianity, praises"the energy and audacity, the powerboth to conceive and to realise, which kthe characteristic of the great Christian saints. On has only to re. member." he continues,"all that was accomplised in the realm of action by St. Paul, St. Theresa, It. Catherine of Siena, St. Francis or St. Joan of Arc."

The modern revolt against that great culture which was - - - ' -tianity assumes many forms, economic, ethicaland artistic. Theenduringele• inert in these protean shapes is the appeal to sloth.

The basiccause of the revolt against civilisation is afailure of nerve, Cowardice is first cousin to sloth, for it is the coward who shirks the difficulties of moral and intellectual problems.

From the difficulties of self-control the escapist flies to the gospel of Free Love, agospel which bears nnw•itting testimony to the rejected code, -

for the freedom which it proclaims is not the freedom to love, but freedom from the twinges of aconscience whicheven the opium of abogus philosophy cannot wholly anesthetise.

There is aclose connection between lazyliving andlazy thinking. Verbosity and indolence are the distinguishing characteristics of revolutionary literature.

ifMarxisquoted againstme,Ireply that mental indolence deprived him of the rewardsof his laborious researches. Malt,likeotherlethargicthinkers,took refuge from the complexities of life in over-simplification. The social order isthe produceof many agencies; Marx concentrated on the economic agency, and ignored the rest. The average man, the raw materialof the social engineer, is acomplex of avarice, selfish . ness, sloth and idealism; Marx postulatesthatCommunismwill produce the

perfect citizen, and leaves it at that. The UtopiaofCommunism is the paradise of the escapist taking refuge from reality in aworld of wishful thinking.

"When the social order islike awelloiled machine," writes the author of "The ABCofCommunism, "...there will be no need for special Ministers of State, for police and prisons, for laws and decrees,nothingof the sort." Very true, but theproblem istoproducethe well-oiledmachine,nottodescribe what happens iw•hen the problem is solved, Inasocietyofangelstherewouldbeno needfor"policeandprisons,"butthose whoareinterestedinrealitieswillwaste little timeoverCommunistfairybooks.

Agood controvdrsialist, said Chester-ton, must be agood listener, but you willsearchCommunistliteratureinvain for any evidence of"listening" to the case against Communism. Mr. John Strachey,to quote one example, is per. hapstheablestofmodern Communists, but he is so busily engaged in explain. ing what Marx meant that he has no leisure toprove that the refutationsof Marx are unsound.

The Marxian revolt in the sphere of economics is paralleled in the sphere, of literature and ofart. "We are confronted to-day," writes Mr. Alfred Noyes, "by the extraordinary spectacle of 10,000 literary rebels, each chained to his own solitary height, and each chanting the same perennial song of hate against everything that has been achieved by past generations." This revolt against the past is the revolt of idlenessagainstexactingstandards.Discipline is as unpopularin artasinlife, and the modern rebel demands that same freedom from restraint in art as has been achieved in sex. From the regimented ranks of the conventionally unconventional rises theparrot cry: "Conventions kill art." On the con. trary, without conventions there can be no art.

The same symptomsof atired civili. sation are apparent in the work of many architests of to-day. The great medieval Cathedrals bear witness to the patience no lessthan to theenergy of their builders. The foundations were laid by men who saw life sub specie aeternitatis, and who were con. tent to work for the inspiration of un. borngenerations. The medievalsculp. tor was no less conscientious when he carved some statue on aremote part 'of aCathedral roof, as at Milan, orthe Christover the w•est'porch which every worshipper saw, and still sees, as he enters the Chartres Cathedral..

In the Renaissance we find the first signs of an ageing civilisation, The new sprit finds early expression in the tomb of the Doge Andrea Vendramin in the Venetian churchofSt.Johnand St. Paul. Ruskin climbed up to the

tomb and discovered thatthe"wretched effigy had only one hand and was amere block on the inner side ... it having been supposed throughout the workthattheeffigywas

only tobeseen from below and from one side." Today the weariness becomes ever more apparent.

The modern cult of simplicity in architecture has,givenussomefine work, but too much of modern simplicity consists in the evasion of difficulties by denying their existence. There is the simplicity which expresses as simply as possible an idea which is worth expressing, and there is the simplicity which hetrays the barrenness of men with no ideas to express.

"When people contend for their liberty; said an earlier Lord Halifax, "they seldom get anything for their victorybutachangeofmasters." This apothegm illustrates the simplicity which resolves complexity, forin these 19words Halifax crystallisedwhat was true in the Marxian analysis of past history, and refuted what was false in the\larxian prophecy of the future.

The widespread revolt againstdiscipline in morality and in art is the unmistakable symptomofatired civilisation. In the springtimeofourwestern civilisation men believed that God had made them alittle lower than the angels, abelief which was at once a challenge to man's energy and "asafeguardofhis rights. For ifmanismade intheimageofGod,hehasrightswhich nodictator isentitledtodisreglyd, but if aman is nothing more than first cousin to the chimpanzee, he has no redress if, like the chimpanzee, he is put behind bars. Itis nocoincidence that those, who have refused to admit the obligationsof man's high estate, have lost the corresponding privileges.

Irreligion is the opium of the feeble andatheismadrug which dulls the regrets of those who have surrendered their birthright because they have neither the strength nor the courage to face the demandsof a civilisation stillinformedby thefading vision ofh supernatural order.

HowitLiterallyPerpetuates'theSacrifice.ofCalvary

Church Never Officially Sanctioned Severity Against Heretics...

DistinguishingbetweentwoInquisitions

Ashas been remarkedover andover again in this session, the Mass is IhL very centre of Catholic belief, reassumingasitdoesthewholeredemptive work

ofJesus Christ. Very naturally, then, it also assumes supreme hnportance in the life of apractical Catholic, so that it seems natural to us to have recourse to the Mass in any matter ofgreatimportance. We hear that arelative or friend hasbeen killed, we immediately arrange to bave a Mass celebrated for the repose or his soul. We have aproject near to our hearts, we attend Mass and receive Holy Communion that it may be successful. This is not just am0dern twisttothe averageCatholic'soutlook, it is as old as Christian civilisation. Even in England, predominantly Protestant for twelve or thirteen gen=rations, the imprint of the Mass remains Ihronih centuries of neglect and p,sitive opposition. Besides Christmas the quarter days and other great old feastsare still known as Michaelmas, Martipmas, Candlemas, Ladymas, etc. TheN?assindeed wasthe mostprecious treasureof itsChristian heritagedvhk:h England lost in the upheaval of the Reformation, and tomymind the sad lest symbols of the drift from Christ are the altar stonesdeliberately placed by theentrance ofmany English churches, so that they might be trodden uponby thosewhohadlosttheirbelief inthe salutary sacrifice of the Mass. These old altar stones,setin thepavement,

are still to be seen in many an Anglican church which has been undisturbed since the times of Edward VI.and Elizabeth.

The mention of altar stones brings me to the continuation of that which Iwas speaking about last Sunday.

The Mass is divided into two parts: the Mass of the Catechumens up to and including the Creed, and the Mass of the Faithful, from the Offertory to the end. This second part contains all that which appertains to the sacrifice proper of the Mass. There are three main movements in the Mass: the Offertory, the Consecration, and the Communication (or, as it is more generallycalled, the Communion). At the Offertory the priest takes bread and wine and offers them toGod, asking that He will deign to receive the spotless Host for the sins,transgressions and failings of both priest and people, so that all, both living and dead.mayprofitby the offeringof the sacrifice. The "Offertory," for many people has come to mean the collection. This is quite incorrect, but a foundation of truth is there. Inanci. ent times as to-day the people made themselves responsible for the maintainance of their priest and for that purpose they made regular contributions of whatever produce they had available, such as bread, flour, wine, oil, fruits, etc. From these offerings the priest selected what was necessary for the Hass and kept the rest forhis ownupkeep. (Inoticed that thiswas still done in Dalmatia when I was there some years ago.) Amongst town dwellers, since as arule they had no suitable produce, the custom grew up to offer moneyinsteadof goods. This practice is almost universal in our countries to-day. Hence the collec. tiontaken upduring the Offertory.

Shortlyafterthe Offertorycomesthe Consecration, which is the dedication of the real Victim of the Mass, Christ Himself, to the honour of God and in reparation for the sins of mankind.

Co.

The priest takes the bread into his hands and in virtue of the command' of Our'Lord todoas He had done at the Last Supper, he says over it the words of Christ:"This is Nly Body"; similarly with the chalice of wine he says,"This isthechaliceofMy Blood."

At this moment all Catholics believe, and incidentally all Catholics are not fools, all Catholics believe that the breadandwinereallybecome theBody and Blood of Christ, so that the Mass becomesnot themereoffering of bread and wine,as might havebeen done by apriest of Moses' time, but the offering to God of the Sacrifice of the Body and Blood of Christ. This Sacrifice wasoffered on Mount Calvary,so we Catholicsbelievethat the Mass is a continuation and an application of that one sacrifice of Christianity, the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross.

IfaJew,beforethecomingofChrist, wished to stake asacrifice to God, he took -

his lamborhisheifer to the temple; there thepriestoffered it forhim, killing it and placingitupon thealtar. Then both the priestand those whose sacrifice it swag,partook of part of the flesh of the sacrifice. This participationor communicationin thevictim-if the sacrifice isanintegralpartof any sacrifice. Neither is it absent in the Mass. The priest must always communicate at Mass. The people ought to and very often do. It is called Holy Communion, because the Victim, Christ Himself, is so infinitely mo-e worthy than any blood victim of the Old Testament.

It should be very clear, then, why the Church insists that, if aCatholic wishes to be considered apractical Ca. tholic, he must receive Holy Commun. ion frequently. The Mass is the very Sacrifice of our Redemption itself; it is being continued daily for earh one of us: how can we hope to participate in the fruits of that sacrifice unless we do our essential part, un;ess we participate in that Sacrifice by receiving Holy Communion?

A. N. Mill,NorthPerth: IntheCatholicAnswer,Father Lator challengedaquestionertoproduceany evidence thataPopeor GeneralCnGn• cil ever authorised the use of force to suppress heresy. Ilistened to another broadcast some time ago in which it wasstatedthatthe PapalIn. quisition was authorised by the,rope and that Church authorities were not only authorised but also instructed to suppressvigorously,eventothe extent of putting heretics to death.

A,: Ify answer satisfies me, but I don't knowwhether itwill satisfy You. Itissodifficult,Iadmit,to distinguish between the Church and Churchmen. First ofall,notonlyCatholicswere Catholics in the 13th. century, but also all governments and civil authorities. andwhen Isay thatgovernmentswere Catholic, Imean that the law of the Church was to them, without anv doubt whatever, God's law. If then theChurch taughtthatheresy was the most dangerous ill that could beset a people—andshedidteachthat, thenas now—the civil authorities punished it worse than murder or adultery. and punished it more severely than any

other crime. Now, hone was the civil authority to judge whether a person washoldingand.teachinghereticaldoc trineornot? Onlyby having the decision of an ecclesiastical court on the matter. In effect theauthoritiessaid to the Bishop,"John Smith here is suspected of heresy, will you tell us whetherhe really isaheretic or not?" After going into the matter the eccle. siastical court decides, letus say, that John Smith is an unrepentant heretic. The civil authority replied, "Thankyou,weknowiwhattodonow; he is worse than a murderer or an adulterer. Hewillsufferaccordingly."

Now Iam not saying that the indivi. dual churchman did not agree with the attitude of the civil authorities, but wedo claim thatthe Church, with the help of Providence, never officially sanctionedthe severitywhich wasused against heretics in those violent times. Nay,rather the voiceofthe Popeswas repeatedly raised in protest against theundueuseofforceinthesematters

This brings me to the other po•nf raised in your letter, namely, the mat ter of Papal Inquisition. There w-re twocourtsoftheInquisition,whichare veryfrequently confusedbynon-Catholics—and perhaps by many Catholics. too. There was the Roman Inqu;Ation, which stillexistsinitsfull vigour to-day,andthen therewas theSpanish Inquisition, which has been defunct for centuries.The Roman Inquisition, orHolyOffice,asitisalsocalled,isthe institution in Rome whose duty it is to safeguard the purity of faith and morals within the Church. It gives decisions on theologicalutterances and publications of Professors, writers and others who may have agood or bad influence on the people at large. It condemns doctrines as being contrar) to Catholic teaching; it banns gooks as being dangerous to the faith or morals of the reader; itisalwaysvigi lant to detect and expose any dangerous teaching which may come before it. It is apurely ecclesiastical insti. tution, and has never tortured or put to death anybody, although it was in existence before the Spanish Inquisition.

Now, the Spanish Inquisition was a court set upby the civilauthorities of Spain in the 13th. century, by Ferdinand and Isabella to he precise. Its original object was to detect secret JewswhoweremasqueradingasCatholics—some of these Jews had even insinuated themselves into Catholic bishoprics with the express intention of trying to destroy Church and State. Churchmen,amongst whom was the much maligned Torquemada, were usedtodeterminewhether the accused were really Catholic or not. If they were not, theState dealt with them. I am not trying to whitewash the Spanish Inquisition: the Popes of the time protested repeatedly against some of its crueltiesand they always got the same answer: these public Catholics, who were secret Jews orMoors, were deliberately trying to undermine the Spanish State, and the Government had the right to deal with them.

Later the Spanish Inquisition became moreand more ofapurely civil court, WANTED TO BUY:Stoves, Wood Gas;PlainandOldRoofIron.Coppers. Heaters. Best Prices. RingB6107.

attacking its enemies on the excuse of religion just as thousands of Catholics 'were tried and put to death in England during the first two centuries of Protestant domination there. This is not an excuse, but it is ajolly good explanation—or so Ithink.

Bob Tindall, Wiluna:

Three closely typewritten pages! This would become Bob Tindall's session, not ours, if Iread it all and we are payingfor it. However,there are six points which can be extracted and Ishall tryto answer them briefly. Bob Tindall,•Ishould say, is inclined to Communism; he can.correctmeifIam maligning him.

BobTindallwent tothepicturesand sawatraveltalk. Hecamehome ob• jecting to Cardinals being treated as Princes,theVaticanhaving1000rooms, the Pope confessing his sins to aSimplehiminsteadof tothewholeworld, the Pope being exempt from taxation andpoliceinvestigation, thegavementality of servants who get no wages, and the solid gold telephone used by thePope.

A.:Ishould like, first of all, to warn our naive correspondent that Travel Talks always have to be colourful, beautiful,picturesque andlovely,other• wise they would not impress the simple public. The Cardinals are treated as princesbecause'they are Princes of theChurch, the Vatican has about athousand rooms because, besides the three or four rooms used bythe Pope, ithas to house one of the world'sbest libraries, one of the world's best museums, and some hundreds of prelates, officials and atidy number of Swiss Guard'sandpolicemen. ThePopeconfesses to asimple friar or toany other priest he may select because he wants to; the right of every Catholic is the Pope'srighttoo. The Popeisexempt from taxation becausehe isamonarch both temporal and spiritual; your stupid query about police supervision isunanswerable,and thematter of the gold telephone shows bow careful one should be about accepting as gospel truth everything which appears in "colourful"'travel-talks. Any other questions you have could probably be answered by the local kindergarten.

AProtestant, Nedlands:

Q.: Why do you Roman Catholics use astringofbeads whenyousay your prayers? Hail Mary, Hail Mary, etc. Christ nevertaughtHistollowassuchathing. Christdidsay use not vain repetitions.

A.: Christ also said:"You should always pray." If, then, the prayer repeated is agood prayer, it cannot be said often enough. We repeat the "Our Father" in the Rosary aswell as the"Hail Mary." The "Our Father" wassuggested to usbyOur LordHimself as the ideal prayer, and the"Hail Mary"was composed by one of God's Angels, as you can see for yourself in St. Luke's Gospel. Surely you will not say that these prayers are not repeatable by us?

Thenyou havequite awrongidea of the Rosary. An ordinary set of Rosary beads consists of five sections of tenbeadsjoinedbyashortchainanda largerbead. The essence oftheprayer is to meditate on some important mystery of our religion, such as, for example, the birth of Christ or His death on the Cross, or the Annuncia. tion of the Angel to the Virgin Mary

that she was to be the Mother of the Saviour. We try to meditate, to consider these events and their meaning for us for ashort period; we measure that period by saying one Our Father and ten Ifail Marys. We could,ISuppose, measure a similar period by counting from one to athousand, but it seems moreappropriate to us tosay something which is worth while in itself.

Q.: Whenawomenbecomes anunand enters aconvent she gives up everything outside, even her own family.

Yet when she diesanotice of death appears in the newspaper inviting friends to the funeral. Rather in• consistent isn't it?

A.: This is rather an unexpected question, butIsupposedifferent things strikedifferentpeopleindifferentsways. Awoman entering aconventdoes not cut herself off from the world to the extent of having no further communication with her friends. That would be inhuman, and the life of anun is notinhuman. You wouldrealise that it is avery happy life if you knew a few Sisters better. Then, even if nuns were hermitesses, which they are not, they would not be so indifferent to people in this world as to deprive themselves of their assistance for their own happy entry into the next. The funeral notice of aCatholic, and particularly of priests and nuns, is arequest for prayers and Masses for the soul of the departed, so that by the holy and wholesome thoughts and prayers of the living the soul of the deceasedmaybeloosed from its sins.

EaterestedinAllPeople,Albany:

:Q: Will you kindly let me know through your broadcast on Sunday theCatholic interpretation of the statement ofSt. Paul: "Being justifiedbyfaithwehavepeasewithCod throughOurLordJesusChrist," and doestheHamanCatholicpreachit?

A.:Yes,theCatholicChurchpreaches all that iscontainedin Holy Scripture. Of course, ifaphrase, taken out of its context, can have,two or more mean• ings and you interpret it in one way, we will notnecessarily agree with you. You do not say how you interpret the text you quote, so Idon't know whether weareinagreementornot.

Justice and justification, both in the Old Testament and the New, has a broader significance than the same words generally have now-a-days; justicemeans goodnessor virtue,and justification consequentlymeans the state of beingeither withoutsin orwith on'e sins remitted. So St. Paul says else. where, "My just man liveth by faith." Agood Christian man is such because of his faith. We believe that we are justified through the merits of Jesus Christ; that we, who could not possibly merit forgiveness for our sins of ourselves, may obtain that forgiveness because of the grace which Our Lord piled up for us by His redeeming us, ThatIStheRedemption—the factthat ourowneffortsare raised upand'purified by association with the redeeming -merits of Christ, so that they can obtain for us asupernatural effectwhich alone they would have been quite incapable of attaining. So much for "justification,"whatabout "faith"? We hold,againsttheoldLutherandoctrine, that faith is aliving faith, not adead one. We hold that true faith, if alive, is inseparably connected with the effort to live agood life; we hold, together with St. James the ,

Apostle, that faith without good works isdead. Aman thenwhosinsmay stillbelieve

lies protest quite strongly against the interpretations of Holy Scripture made by some Protestants ;

but his -

faith, at least until he cancels that sin by sincere repentance, is not the inspiration of his actions; that faith is temporally dead. The teaching of Luther that faith without good ,works was sufficient to justify aman was derived from afaulty interpretation of certain passages of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans, in which St. Paul seems to infer that only faith counts, not works. Paul was writing to the converted Jews of Rome, and was tellingthem that it was not neces. sary for themto continue with the observances and customs of the Jewish law. Faith is what counts, he said, not the slavish performance of Mosaic rules which had been abrogated by the Law of Christ. This is expressed quite clearly in verse 28 of the third ,l,apter of this same Epistle: "For we accoupt aman tobe justified by faith without the workq of the law." In brief: For aman to lead agood life thegraceofGodis absolutely essential and of the first importance but—our co-operation with that grace is also essential. We had best follow the ad. vice ofSt. Augustine,given 1,500 years ago,butasgoodto-dayasitwasthen: "Believe as if your salvation depended upon the grace of Our Lord alone; act

as if everything deepnded upon yourself."

Interested, Nedlands:

(Another question about the marriage laws of theCatholic Church.)

Q.: What biblical authority have you forassertingthatamarriagebetween aCatholic and anon,

Catholic is invalid, in the eyes of the Church, if celebrated before apriestotherthan aRomanCatholic priest?

A.: Our Lord said to His Apostles, "Ile who hears you hears Me, and he who despises you despises Me." In other words, Hegave to His Church truelegislativepower,apowertomake laws whichwouldbe binding upon the consciences of those subject to those laws, that is, to the members of His Church. To disregard the properly promulgated lawsofChrist's Church is the same as disregarding the explicit command of Christ Himself: "He who despises you despises Me."

AnOpen Mind, Porrest-street, East 7remantle:

Q.:InviewofthefactthatJesus said, "Iamnotsentbutto thelostsheep ofthehouseofIsrsed,"and thatHe wasconstantlyprotestingagainstthe interpretationswhichtheScribes and PhariseesgavetotheScriptures,why is"Protestant" aless correct term forafollower ofChristthan'10atho.

Bc"?

A.: Iadmit that if you really were aCatholic and called yourself aProtestant, it would notmake very much difference, just as if one is really a Protestant it makes very little difference calling oneself aCatholic. It would be inclined, however, to lead to agood deal of confusion. We Catho-

so Isuppose we could call ourselves"Protestersagainst Protestants," but the title would be rather cumbersome, don't you think? It would certainly be altogether too out of dateto call ourselves Protestants because we still protest against the interpretations of the Scribes and Pharisees. Idoubt whether we do still protest, we just disagree. You glory in the name of Protestant, well, good luck to you. Others, who continuetoprotestagainst the teachingof the Catholic Church, and yet wish to call themselves Catholics, are in aless logical position.

Mrs. Miller, Oeddesstreet, Victoria Park:

Q.: Can you tell me why the Papal CouncilofLswdiceachangedtheSabbath to Sunday without any Scrip• tmal justification, as it is plain enough in the Bible that itis SaturdayandnotSundaythat is the 7th. day oftheweek?

A.: Apart altogether'from whether the Papal Council of Laodicea did as you say it did or not, there is ample Scriptural justification for Christians sanctifying theSunday ratherthan the Saturday. Christ rose from the dead on aSunday and the Resurrection is themostimportant event in thelifeof Christ, The Holy Spirit descended upon-the Apostles on a Sunday—tbe first Whit Sunday—and it was then thatthe Church wasborn. It isquite true that Saturday was, and is, the Jewish Sabbath, but we are not Jeft and the ritual laws of the Old Testament were specifically abrogated by Christ andthen, secondly, thespiritof the Old Testament law is that one day in seven should be reserved for rest and Teecial worship of God; that spirit still'survives even though the letter is dead.

Q.: The correspondent alleges inconsistencyintworeportswhichshesaw inthepaper; thefirstofacollection for the Pope because he bad spent allhis money helping others--with thissheagrees,

--andsecondofapia mutation to one o4 our priests of fit?l4fortheconstructionofanaltar.

A.: Ishall take it thatboth reports weretrue. AlthoughIdidnotseethe second, it could quite well be true. If either of these reportsmade the other difficult to attain,there wouldperhaps beinconsistency,butthey don't. The alleged£834 sounds ifke alegacy from awill which had probably been made long before the appeal for the Holy Fatherwaslaunched. Inanycasethe service ofGod comesfirst,the service ofmantakenanimportantthoughsecond place. Our Lord defended Mary Magdalen when she poured precious ointment over His feet, notwithstanding aprotest thatthecost could have been better used in the service of the poor.

Permit me to wish you all God's blessings in the coming year, and to express with you the hope that before the new year is finished peace may once more reign amongst men, -and that,we may be delivered from the scourgeofwar.

that every sample of unpasteurised milk willcause disease, it isawellattestedfactthattheorganismsofmany diseases, including tuberculosis, diph• Iheria, typhoid, infantile diarrhoae, infantile paralysis, and undulgnt fever, can be carried in milk and that epidemicoutbreakvofthese diseaseshave been traced to contaminated milk. The most recent serious outbreak was that in Melbourne less thantwo years ago, i•hen anumber Of deathsdue to typhoid was traced to contaminated milkproducedin adairy whereatyphoid carrier was employed., Pasteurisation will destroy the or. ganismic causing these diseases, and therefore is asafeguard which cannot be airily and sarcastically dismissed.

The contention that childretrdrink• ingrawmilkwerehealthierthanthose given pasteurised milk, and that the latter was of inferior nutritive qual. ity,hasbeenrefutedoften. Themost recent properly designed and efficiently controlled experiments have been carried out with many thousands of children, and have confirmed the restilts from many other trials with calves, pigs and rats,that pasteurise, tion has no significant effect in lowering the total nutritive value of milk for the growing child or animal.

Imust not pass over the suggestion that pasteurisation"enables producers to continue with unhealthy cows and unsatisfactory hygienic conditions, etc.," of that "pasteurisation permits the existence of otherwise dangerous conditionsin herds and dairies."

Clean milk responds to pasteurisation better than dirty milk, which in any case does not meet the specificationslaid down in the FoodandDrug regulations. Further, the use of the process does not absolve the proper authorities from improving the health of the herds and the general hygienic conditionofthedairies,orfromseeing that proper practices are adopted in handling, transporting and treating the milk prior to deliveryto the consumer.

Itisnecessary tomakeadistinction betweenmilk thatmayhavebeenproduced under the most carefully controlled hygienic conditions and to which theterm"clean"maybegiven, butwhich canstillbe themedium for carrying disease'organisms, and milk which isknown not to carry disease organisms, because any which may have been present have been destroyed by pasteurisation.

The article concludes by reiferring to tyranny and suggests that compulsory pasteurisation"savours of the totalitarian system weare sobitterly fighting against."

and regulations which are imposed on us under the Health Act for our own protortion. For example, we do not protest because we are not permitted to keep apig inour suburban backyards(ordowe?). Nor hasacharge of totalitarian tendency been laid against the local authorities because they and not several small collectors provide arubbishand garbage service to householders.

Why, then, must we fear the compulsory pasteurisation of milk which, like the provisions of the Health Act, would safeguard the health of the people?

What is more—let us consider your position if,asIam suggesting the art'le is wrong and the proponents Of compulsory pasteurisation are right. You are then encouraging people to drinkmilkwhichmaybedangerous in preference to asafe article. You are encouraging them to expose themselves unnecessarily to the risk of contractingdisease.

Iregret the necessity of writing in this strain. Iwashoping that someoneelse,moreable,wouldhavereplied beforenow.

Sir,—The article entitled"Is Pasteurisation aCommercial Racket," in your issue of December 6. calls forre. futation, as it is agrave disservice to those householdersand buyers ofmilk who may be influenced by it. It is said that"the lie, which is half the truth, is the blackest of lies." It is rarely that somany lies that are half thetrutharepackedinonebriefpage.

The article suggests that the only people who are interested in pasteurisation are those who havecommercial interestsinthe process—the author.ignores the attitude of the medical profession,the Public Health authorities, andthemanyotherswhosebusiness it is to know something about it. He suggests that it is taken for granted here, contrary tothepositioninGreat Britain andIreland, where it has met with considerable opposition—it isnot stated fromwhom.

Letme giveafear facts:

In administrativeCountyof London 92.7 per cent, of the milk is pasteurised under license, and over 98 per cent.is heat-treated in some way or other. A very approximate estimate indicates that about 50 per cent. of the population of England and Wales is being supplied with heat-treated milk. There is no evidence at hand regarding the position in Ireland, but asurvey of2,277 townsofmore than 1,000 inhabitants carried out in the UnitedSthtesofAmericain1936sho ed that 73 percent.ofthe population was receiving pasteurised milk. In cities of 500,000 inhabitants and over, 95percent.ofthemilksupplywaspasteurised.

Compare these figures with the position in Western Australia, where no pasteurised milk is available outside the metropolitan area, and where less than 20 per cent.of the metropolitan supply is pasteurised.

It is impossible for me to refer to manv of the contentious statements which weremade,such asthe description ofthe process as being the reten. tion of milk at atemperaturebetween 145deg.and 180deg.for30minutes; the reference to"live" milk; the destructionof"enzymeswhichaiddigestion;" the loss of calcium, the destruction of vitamin C: but it is proposed to refer briefly to three main points.

The first is the statement that "many tests have been made by im. partial scientific observers which entirelydisprove thecontention that disease was caused by drinking unpas. teurised milk."

While it has never been claimed

This fear of tyranny has not been expressed regarding the many .

Germany PlansVictory ThroughChaos

TheGermans, hak•inglost the warin amilitary sense, are now experimenting in technique for the next one: a warorrobotsandofrevolutions.Their :um ischaos,and therobotisasyeta minor means of producing it(writes MajorGeneral J. F. C. Fuller, of the British Army).

Idealogically, the Allies are fighting thelast war over again; awar of de. struction, politically aswell as militarily. Obliteration ofIlitlerism is their aim, and their means, annihilation of theGerman armies.

The fix.theGermanshavegot them. selves into is one of over-extension. Theyhave not themanpower togoon fighting in the conventional way. The difficulty the Allies are getting themselvesinto is one ofover-explosion; in turn they have not the foresight to fight unconventionally.

France is lost to Germany; all outside Germany is lost-potentially if not actually. Therefore, Germany standsalone. True, she hasher robots, but they cannot possiblx win the war forher. All they can do is toinfuriate the English and blind them to what isin progress in Nazidom.

Whatisit? In answer,Ihazardthe ,nuesc that athirdworld warisemergingfrom the expiringsecond,awarin which revolutions are battles andbattlesarerevolutions.

Every thinking German knows that the war islost. Yet, theyalsoknow, for they are thoughtful people, that warisonly ameans toan end, peace, and thatpeace has not yetbeeswon. Isitstillpossible forHitlerto win it? Notashewouldhaveliketohavedone -as asuccessful Napoleon; but, shall M•esay,as anunbeatenTalleyrand?

TheGermangeneralscannotseethis. Talleyrand is notoftheirkidney; witnessGeneralBeck,MarshalPaulus,and the peace-at-any-price colonels-men with bayonet minds. Hitler and his revolutionaryentourage,Ithink,dosee it; hence.Goebhels' total mobilisation. To Arise After Ruin.

What does it mean? Surely this: An Allied peace at no price; therefore,noAlliedpeace.atall. Allowno termination of the war bysurrenderconditional orunconditional. Instead, first defend the walls of the Reich against all comers. Secondly, when theyare stormed, stage aguerilla war from town to town, street to street, hill to hill, valley to valley, untilGermany is sacked down in amaelstrom oftotalruin,whichsimultaneouslywill engulfwith her all herneighbours and draw hervictors intosuch avortex of chaos that their attempts to shape a new world will end in their fighting each other over their cosmic plans. Then Germany can take sides. If so, Germanpolicy isthatofphoenix-resurrection through incineration.

Is thispolicy practical? Clearh• the answer is"No!" For that 'Would make it conventional. Instead, it is mystical and fits well into the Wag. nerian ethos-the spirit of Hitlerian Germany. Can it then magically succeed? That depends on the will of the magician. Not only Hitler and his chorus, but the German people as awhole. ITow far have thev been Hitlerised?' If totally, then as Hitler conjured forth his myth from out of the chaos from 1918 to 1923, at least they should be able to conjure forthanequallypotentmythfrom the worldofchaostheywillhavecreatedand'mythsarespirituallycontagious.

Before the war and from personal observation in Germany, it was clear tome that thebulkofGermansunder forty-five were Nazis in varying degrees of fervour and that the bulk of army officers over forty-five were not and with them may be dumped the bulk of the Junkers-the blue-blooded Prussians.

So it seems to me that on the proportion of Nazis-whatever it is-depends the success of failure of this phoenix policy.

You can kill Germans with bullets, and bykilling them end abullet war. Butyou cannotkill an idea with any amount of lead. Until,you have killed the Nazi myth you cannot win the ideologicalwarsolongasyourwaraim is extirpation of Ilitlerism.

BROWNING AND I

SORDELI.O."

The slim volume which Chesterton Published on Browning in 1903 remains to-day one of the most lucid accounts we have of that greatgiantof the Victorian era. Lucidity, however, was notone ofthe thingsforwhich Browning himself was renowned, -

and the following amusing extract from Chesterton's book gives an indication of the bewilderment caused by the appearance of Browning's mystery poem, written at the ripe old age of twentyfour:

in 1340"Sordello" waspublished. Its reception by the great majority of readers, including some of the ablest men of the time, was areception of a kind probably unknown in the rest of literary history, areception that was neither praise norblame. It was perhaps best expressed by Carlyle, who wrote to say that his wife had read "Sordello" with great interest, and wished to know whether Sordello was aman, or acity, or abook. Better known, of course, is the story of Tennyson, who said thatthe first line of the poem—

"Who will, may hear Sordello's story told," and the last line—

"Who would,hasheard Sordello's story told," were the only two lines in the poem that he understood,and they werelies.

Perhaps the best story, however, of all the cycleof Sordello legendsis that which is related of Douglas Jerrold. He was recovering froman illness; and having obtained permission for the first time to read alittle during the day, he picked up abook from apile beside the bed andbegan Sordello. No sooner had he done so than he turned deadly pale, put down the book, and said, "My God! I'm an idiot. My health is restored,butmymind's gone. Ican't understand two consecutive lines of an English poem" He then ' summoned his familyand silently gave the book into their hands, asking for their opinion on the poem; and as the shadow of perplexity gradually passed over their faces, he heaved asigh of relief and went to sleep. These stories, whether accurate or not, do undoubtedly represent the very peculiar reception accorded to Sordello, are. ceptioni'which, asIhave said, bears no resemblance whatever to anything in the way of eulogy or condemnation thathad everbeenaccorded toawork ofartbefore. Therehadbeen authors whom it was fashionable to boast of admiring and authors whom it was fashionable to boast of despising; but with Sordello enters into literary history the Browning of popular badinage, the author whom it is fashionable to boast of not understanding.

•"THOUSANDS CHEER."

This big, glossy technicolour musical did not exactly leave me cheering. al. though it is probably one of the best high-class musical extravaganzas produced at the M.G.M. Studios. As usual, however, in this type of show Hollywood has tried to put too much into it, and the effect is rather jumbled. One cannot complain of lack of variety. Ranging from light coloratura soprano offerings by Kathryn Grayson, whose hair-do thrilled me more.than her voice, to comicmedleys by poker-faced Virginia O'Brien, from pianoforte solos by Jose Iturbi, who hasquite areputationasaMozart exponent, to the cacophanies of Kay Kayser and his band. Comedy suppliedin sketches by RedSkelton, who improves as acomedian in each new film, and that old trooper Frank Morgan, was really good. Ifelt that the filmwouldhave been improved 100per cent. if there had been more comedy ofthisstandariTand lessmusical numbers, such as Iturbi playing "RumBoogie;" aided Q) by Judy Garland. This last mentioned item was sheer prostitution of his art.

Gene Kelly, adancing star, who can really act, and Kathryn Grayson, provide the usual love interest. They fall in love after their first kiss. As this unexpected gesture occurs within thefirst fewminutes,andthefilmlasts for another two hours, something has tobedone to keeptheplaygoing.The script writers in their desperation decide to undermine Gene's morale. It appears he doesn't like the army. Kinda resents discipline. Kinds, individualist, if you get what I mean. This naturally breaks Kathryn's heart, just as it hasbroken mine in at least 19 other films. Her father, who is a Colonel(she used to call him "Paddy Waddy'), also rather frowned on this attitude. Things get complicated for about 90 minutes' screen time, but my daring hunch that the lovers would patch up their quarrel before the final reel proved correct. "Thousands Cheer" is worth seeing, but it is not quite as good as"This is the Army." which Ireviewed last issue.

FIRST MAORI TO BECOME APRIEST

The first Maori to become apriest of theCatholicChurchwasordained in St. Patrick's Church. Napier, N.Z., on Sunday, 17th. tilt.

He is the Rev. William Te Awithu, S.M., and he received Holy Orders from His Grace Archbishop O'Shea of Wellington. Alarge number of Maoris attended theordinationof the youngpriest, who offered his first Massat the Maori Settlement, Hawkes Bay.

The ordination of Father Te Awithu is an eventofmajorimportance in the history of the Church in New Zerland. for it will give agreat stimulus to mission work among members of the native race.

Royal blood flows through the veins of the first Maoripriest,the translation ofwhose name is"Son ofaChieftain."

Born in the King Cnuntry, he was educated at St. Patrick's College, Silverstream, and at\ft.St. Marys Seminary,Greenmendows,HawkerBay. He was professed in January, 1938.

PenicillinProduction—Research WorkinIreland

:Hiss Mairin de Valera, daughter of Eire's

Prime Minister, has been continuing scientific research on agar, the seaweed she discovered to supply the material for the production of penicillin. Miss de Valera, who holds a lectureship at Galway University, has been working for the past few years on marine life research.

Two other young Catholic scientists have produced penicillin in Dublin. Last January the Medical 'Research Council assigned the task of producing this valuable now drug to Mr. Oliver Roberts, M.Sc., B.A., and Dr. Dfarmuid Murphy, Ph.D., M.Sc„ research workers in the Botany Department, CollegeofScience. Recentlythey announced that they'bad succeded in producing penicillin, and that it had been used to treat patients in Dublin hospitals.

The achievement of the two scientists is especially remarkable in view of the fact that the export of the mould strain from which the drug is produced is banned in England, and data on the production of the drug was unobtainable either from England or the United States.

Mr. Oliver Roberts, who is twentynine and aDubliner, was educated at Belvedere Jesuit College. He had a brilliant career at University College, Dublin, gaining numerous scholarships

)flue Pipe for Stoves Bath Heater. Stocks of Paints, Varnish, Caleomine. Hassell's Stores, Perth,.. B6M.

through his science course; he was awarded a post-graduate sgholartship andatravellingstudentship in botany. He spent six months at Cornell University, and two years at the BoyceThompson Plant Science Institute at Yonkers, New York. In 1941,he flew to Ireland in the first trans-Atlantic passenger-carrying Clipper, to take up his present appointment as senior assistant in botony in theCollege of Science. Since his return the Royal Dublin Society has recordedseveral of his treatises; last year he Mad ajoint paper to the society with Dr. Murphv.

Dr, Diarmuid Murphy, also aDubliner,istwenty-five. Hewaseducated at Blackrock College and Belvedere College. Having won several sebolarships in University College, Dublin, he did three years' research work in chemistry there. Subsequently 'he worked for atime in the Emergency Scientific Research Bureau, before transferring to the botany department. His•Doctorate of Philosophyand M.Sc. theses have been published by the Royal Dublin Society.

The production of penicillin in Ireland has aroused considerable interest in the United States, where comment has appeared in the press, and alarge firm of manufacturing chemists has written asking for details of production.

Why Marriage Laws Are Severe

Once again, on Sunday next, Ave will be reminded from thepulpit of the attitude of the Church on the question of .Mixed Marriages. Nowheredoes the Church usestronger '-anguage that; in her rfticial pronouncements oil, and references to, this same disturbing pro!,!enn. To the mixed marriage nnore than to anything else tlo we owe the breakdown of the Catholic home. 'Ihe proportion of mixed marriages hasbeen formany years,and still is, tragically alarming. Their effect on the Clinch, an the Catholic partner concerned, and on the future generation is not merely deplorable it.scalamitous. In the interests of all. tbree, the Hicrarchy have been forced to take drastic steps and .

'o•enforce still more rigidly -egulations governing the celebratioli of such marriages. There has been criticism, much criticism—unreasoning and unwarranted criticism—of the action of the Hierarchy in promulgating the regulations of September, 1939. Yet the Bishops of this Pnwince have but acted in strictconformity with the mind of the Holy Sec in thisgrave matter,pregnant with such far-reaching consequences. That someCatholicsadopt the critical attitude they clo mu,t be attributed to their ignoranceof the circumstances prompting there regulations, and to their complete lack of umlu-

standingof the Catholic ideal of marriage in Christ.

The Bishops make no apology for the stand t!iey have taken. The devastatingeffects of mixed marriages over the pasttwo generations are :omplete justification for what may seem to the ley mind asevere and unreasonable_attitude. The appalling increa-e in the number ofCatholics who have ceased to practise their faith, more particularly since the outbreak of war and the mobilisation of youth of mith sexes into the Fighting Forces and auxiliary a; f! essential services, have revealed just how deep was the faith that was in them. That the root cause of this tragedy is to be fourd in their home-life is undeniable. That the failure of the honn.; is in most cases due to amixed marriage is also undeniable. Ti c prfs.rvatign of the faith is based on the training, example, and thoroughly Catholicatmosphereofthehome. Andthis isvitiated, if not ultimatelycompletely destroyed,inthe vastinsjorityofcases, where loth parents are not good and practising Catholics.

The "new" regulations, then, are intended as adeterrent to those contemplating amixed marriage. There are graver issues at stake than merely the selfish happiness of the Catholic party. This happiness itself fails ever to materialise in all but exceptional •:ases, for amarriage without the Church's blessingcannot hope to bring lasting happiness, and in amixed marriage no blessing is given by the priest presiding at the ceremony. With grave misgivings tine Church merely "tolerates" amixed marriage. She knows what is going to happen in mostcases to thechildren of the marriage, and fears for them. She knows, too, how impossible of attainment the ideal of marriage in Christ becomes, when both parties have such hopelessly divergent outlooks on life and its meaning .and on what is sacred even in marriage.

All the excuses offered are futile against the cold facts of past and present experience. Always this case is going to be the exception. But two lives CANNOTbe welded intoone andbecome in the Sacament abeautiful sacred union swept up into the symphonyof theMass,as Christ meant it to be, when one partyknows nothing about and cares nothing for all that makes the Catholic marriage the wonderful thing it is to those who understand. The Church is awise Mother. She knows human nature, and the Holy Ghostisever living within Her,guiding Her in the grave decisions She is so often called upon to make. Criticism of Her laws, when we know so little of the reasons why, is something to he deprecated. We would do better to trust Her more in matters on which Herattitude, for very good reasons, is so resolute. And, after all, whoare the to criticise?

Cblyd Order of St. Trancis

On January 7, the first meeting of the Third Order of St. Francis was held at3p.m. ;

when the Rev. Director, Father McBride, spoke of the necessity of commencing the new year in good dispositions, and asked Tertiaries to pray especially during 1945 that a shrine for perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament should be raised in Perth. He exhorted them to make special spiritual acts to forward what was so dear an object of his own.

Later during the meeting all Tertiaries were charmed to have their former Director, Very Rev. Father. John. ston,,with them on ashort visit, and to hear him give apleasant little talk.

Brother Prefect explained that cards for the various guilds would be put into service next first Sunday,

Sister Secretary read her very clear annualreportonthe doings ofthe Fraternity during 1944, which report she will forward to the P&gmissary of the Third Order at Sydney.

Practical Social Problems Arising

Collectivism No Cure for Excessive Individualism

How Self-Governing Functional Groups May Avoid Centralised State Control

Wherewill mentunatofindthestrength and vision to rebuild ashattered worldaccordingtothedeepdesiresof their hearts? Will they turn back to Godor continuealongthedrearyway ofindifferenceanddenial?WillWesternman,like theProdigalBon,go backinshamandsorrow tohisFather's Rouse,or will he have yet another flingat thehusks ofsecUlarism?

Onecanguessattheanswertothese questions and to many another, and guesswith ahigh degreeofprobability lwrites Benjamin L. Masse, in"America"). But the certain answer lies darkly hidden in the uncertain.future. With one exception, however, it can beconfidently predictedthat,save for the United States and perhaps a few of the smaller European countries , the old economic orderwill be replac'led by something that our forefathers wouldhave calledSocialism,but which might more properlybecalledhumanitarian collectivism.

It will not be Marxism. For the most part,farms will continue to be privately owned. fhe present system of distribution may not be radically altered. Therewillbewidespread private ownership even in industry, although there will certainly be much more public ownership thanbefore the war.

The big difference will come in the operation of farms, stores,banks, anr• industries. Theareaofeconomic freedom will be sharply restricted. In• stead of the market-place and monopolies, the State will be the supreme arbiter of economic life. The self-interest of individuals will be severely ,subordinated to social goals determined by public authority. And accom. panying this development,there will be an enormous expansion of State• initiated and State-directed social ser. vices—old age pensions,unemploymentinsurance,familyallowances, and the like.

To appreciate what is happening today, it is necessary to recall and reexamine one of the great problems which every age and every society -

mustsolve. It hasbeen variously described as the reconciliation of liberty andauthority,ofprivateinitiative and the public good, of individualism and collectivism. The problem is as old asman and risesfromhisvery nature.

A.lan isat the same timeanindividual and asocial being. Endowed with strong instincts for personal activity and development,he is moved by an irresist;ble tendency toward social life. Indeed,normally, his existence as an individual begins in the family, aso• cial organism. His membership in a wider society,the State,generally follows automatically.

It will be readily apparent that this dual aspect of human nature contains the possibility of conflict. 13y his nature,man must live in society, for in no other way can he develop fully as an individual. But member• ship in asocial group spontaneously limits individual freedom. The great problem ofeverycivilisationliesin adjusting the individual'sinstinctforliberty and self-expression with the gen• eral good of society.

Now, during theperiod called the Middle Ages,men succeeded in workoutout an adjustmentof the delicate relationship between the rights of the individual and the rights of society which,according to some students of social history,has neverbeen surpass. ed. For reasons which would be too lengthy to set down here,by the rritd-

Randolph Knapp (W.A.O.A.).

SIGHT-TESTINGOPTIOIAla. 12

ATWELL ARCADE, FRZMANTL= I=

During the following two centuries, thesixteenthandseventeenth,thearea ofpublicauthoritywasmoreandmore restricted,•the area of individual liberty more and more expanded. Over alarge part of Europe, the individual assurred'theright to be hisown pope inreligiousmatters. Therewaseverywhere agrowing,freedom of thought and expression which began to chal. lenge the old social controls imposed by civil and ecclesiastical authority. Withthespreadofdeism andrationalism in the eighteenth century, with Rousseau,the Encyclopedists and the French Revolution,the issue was de• finitely decided in favourof individual liberty. Appropriately, the whole movement came to be called"Liberal• ism.

Themodernworldwastobe,parexcellence, theage of individualism.

Itwasinevitablethatthisrisingtide ofindividualismwouldsweepaway the barriers which medieval society had erected against the appetitus infinitus Aivitiarum, the boundless lust for riches. In effect, if not properly in theory, the subordination of the market-place to social well-being was ended: or rather it was thought that the uninhibited pursuit of individual self• interest would result automatically in public prosperity. The intervention of the State in economic affairs be. came suspect. Its function was to protect private property,to guarantee the fulfilment of contracts,to prevent one man'sexercise of economicliberty from interfering with an exercise of similar liberty on the part of others. Bevond these police functions,andthe undertaking of certain projects too large forindividuals,the new individualism thought the State ought to do nothing whatever. Economic liberal• ism thus captured the market-place, and its battle-cry was "laissez-faire"— keephandsoff, letthingsbe.

Such was the economic policy which presided over the advent of the ma. chine and the growth of modern in. dustry. And such is the econor.•+e philosophy against which alarge part of the Western worldistoday inopen revolt, and which.will be widely abandoned in the post-war era. In the sphere of economics, the pendulum is swinging back toward authority and social control.

Three separate forces have brought this about. (There are really four, but Ishall speak of the fourth later on in this article,to avoid apossible misunderstanding.) Thefirst force is Marxian Socialism. The second is Leftist Liberalism. The third, by an exasperating paradox,is Capitalismitself.

The Marxian effort to reduce econo. mic activity to social objectives needs noelaborationhere. WhetherasBol. shevism or Socialism, it aims to cure the excesses of individualism by rushingtoanextremeformofcollectivism. In aSocialistsociety, the State would own all the means of production and directtheoperations of theentire economy. ,

6e

The second influence strongly at workforacollectivisedsociety is Leftist Liberalism. The tag is unsatisfactory, and Iapologise for using it, but Iknow of no other way to describe the phenomenon. The Leftist Liberals call themselves simply Liberals, with capital letters, but in their concept of the State and their understanding of economic policy, they are at oppositepolesfromhistorical Liberalism. Neitherfishnorflesh,theyare to-day among the most vociferous pTponents,in the name ofindividual lib. erty,orBigGovernmentandaplanned economy. Inmanyrespects,theyare, indeed,barely distinguishable fromSocialists. -

-What is notwellappreciated is that Capitalism is also largely.responsible for the current trend toward collectiv ism, and this in at least two obvious ways. In the first place excessive competition has led to an enormous concentration of industrial and financial power. The giant corporation, dominates the economic scene to-day. In the second place, the excesses of Capitalism have everywhere forced States to undertakehuge -

relief, public works and social security programmes, thus leading to a gradual expansion and concentration ofpolitical power.

Isaidabovethat there wasafourth force working against the extreme of individualism into which the modern world has naively and tragically wandered. That force was the Catholic Church. From the very beginning it opposed the new "Liberalism," in reli• gion,inphilosophy,inmorals, in social and economic theory. It has helped, especially through the great social en• cyclicalsof Leo XIII and Pius XI, to swell the tide against economic individualism.

But note this capital difference. Whereas Marxist thought tended consciously to swing the pendulum from one extreme to another, from invidualism to collectivism,and the excessesofCapitalismcontributed unconsciously tothesameeffect,thePapacy coupled its condemnation of economic

liberalism with acondemnation of Socialism equally strong. Reading the encyclicals in the light of current developments,it seemsthatthe Papacy anticipated thedanger that.now exists —namely, that the reaction toindividualism.wouldgotoofarandresultina socialsystem no less opposed to the natureof man and hisjustaspirations than Capitalism had proved tobe. -

TodoawaywiththeevilsofCapitalism, the Popes were notprepared to sacrifice individual initiative and personal responsibility on the altar of State collectivism.On theother band, the common goodofsocietyhad tobe protected against the anarchy of individualismandthetyrannyofprivate collectivism. The market-place must again be subjected to social controls, butsosubjectedthattheeconomicliberty of the individual would not be " lostin the process.

The answer advanced by the Popes was the old and tried principle that theState mustnotundertakewhatin. dividuals through their own initiative or through organisation can accom. plish by themselves. This principle they applied to modernsocietyby recommending the establishment of selfgoverning functional groups which, without the risk of centralised State control, could provide necessary social discipline to private enterprise, and even agreat many of the social services now performed by the overexpanded State.

St is the failure to understand that the dual nature of man—individual and social—demands asolution along these lines that may yet throw the modern world rebounding with the bestof intentionsfrom anoverdose of individualism,into the stfait-jacket of collectivism. The danger is anything but illusory.

ith the festival season behind us, the Club Rooms were reopened last Monday night,January S, when the usual gathering assembled for

th e weekly meeting and indoor sporting activities. Grand attendances were the order of the year just concluded, and we are hoping for even greater roll-ups for 1945.

A feature of the last few meetings were two very interesting and instructive talks delivered by Keith Norrish and oneby ourpopularathleticcoach, Bernie Hansen. It i s

to

hope

d that talks on these lines will be continued at future meetings.

Annual Holy Communion.

Members are reminded that the annual HolyCommunion will take place on Sunday,January 28. After Mass arrangements are being made to serve breakfast to members at St.Joseph's Ball, Subiaco. :stake anote of the date,boys, as1t•e are looking forward to a100 per cent,attendance.

Swimming,

Swimming competitions will commence in the very near future, and already arrangements are being made to nominateateam inthese competitions. .All boys interested should make it their business to notify the Secretary as early as possible of their intention to participate.

Cricket.

The last two matches have resulted in well-earnedvictories and have somewhatcompensated the playersfortheir patience and enthusiasm in spite of earlier defeats. Now that they have struck form more successes are sure to come the way of the L.C.Y. team. In recent games several creditable per. formanceshavebeen recorded and wor• thy of mention. Playing against Eureka,Pat Fitzsimmons secured 8wic• kets for8runs, and Brian Keay 4for 8. Themostsuccessful batsmen were Kevin Webster,Les Pierce and Len Lyons.

In the game at Henderson Park against Central Districts,Brian Keay bowled very well to secure 10 for 18, while Pat Fitzsimmons got 2 for 24 and Gerry ,

\fcGrade 1fornil. Th out. standingbatsmanwas Len Lyons, with 48 not out.Others to do well were Jim \Iaschmedt (18) and Brian Keay (13), SocialEvening. '

And what were the lads of the L.C.Y„ Subiaco, discussing so keenly on New Year'sDay? Was it the hot weather or was it the Perth Cup? No, it was neither. They were discussing the New Year'sEve social and dance, heldin St.Joseph'sHold. Forseveral weeks both girls and boys were very busy distributing written invitations. Theireffortswere rewarded. OnNew Year's Eve 200 young people thronged the hall and enjoyed themselves immensely.

The boys providedathree-piece or. chests, and the girls adainty supper In one well patronised corner cool drinks were available. :1t midnight an old-time waltz was interruped to sing arousing verse of"Faith of Our Fathers;" followed by ".Auld Lang Syne:" Amodern waltz welcomed in the new year.

We would like to thank the girls of the parish for their initiative on this occasion,and all those—especially Mrs. Perkins and Miss Arorrish—who helped to make the evening the success it was, when 20(1Catholic young people enjoyed themselves in an exclusively Catholic entertainment,in a100 per cent.Catholic environment.

Death of

Sister*Mary Francis

The death occurred at the Jiater Miserocordiae Hospital, Sydney, on December6, of Sister Mary Francis, who for the last four years had been atSt. John of God Hospital, Goulburn.

Her death came as ashock, as she had only been ill for five days. At the time of her sudden illness, Sister Francis was spending her annual holidaysonthe South Coast, and was taken to Mater Misericordiae Hospital, Sydney, where she died.

Thedeceased Sister wasentering her 25th. year in the Order of the Sisters ofSt. John ofGod, which she entered at Subiaco.

Her mother predeceased her some years ago, and her father died six months ago. She leaves a brother, Mr. Opitz, of Serpentine, and one sister, Mrs.G. Higgins, of Perth.

The funeral tookplaceafter Mass at SS. Peter and Paul'sCathedral, and a Solemn Requiem Masswassaid on December 9at the Cathedral for the deceased Sister.

The congregation included every memberof the medical profession, also the Matron, threeSistersand15 nurses of the District Hospital. Before pro-

nouncing the final absolutions, Rev. Father McKenna expressed to the Sisters of St. John of God the profound sypathy of His Lordship, Most Rev. Dr McGuire, the priests of the diocese, and the Sisters of the various Orders of the parish of Goulburn.

"To the nursing Sisters," he said, "there isonly the peculiar satisfaction of knowing that she takes the bruised andbrokenmind and bodyof the sick, and with God's help and the ,

aid of medical science, restores them to San. ity and health. To watch day after day and through the long hours of night beside the sick, to endure all kinds of personal discomfort, to know the extremes of bodily and mental weariness,ispartof-

thenursingprofession,andinthisliestheepitomeofthe life of Sister It. Francis. In every human suffering she saw the suffering Christ—her sympathy was universal. Sister Francis has departed from this lifebeforeshereachedthenormalspan, but she hasused wiselythe years that were given her, and she has gone to Godwithherhands full."

To her sorrowing relatives"The Record" extends its deepest sympathy. R.I.P.

Red Duchess Denounces Russian Policy

What the Curzon Line would Mean to 13 Million Poles

The Duchess of Atholl could find plenty of admirers and pressmen in this countrywhen she focused her searchlight on Spain. Recently she turied thebeamon Russia, but there were no reflectors to help cast the lightaround.

During the Spanish Civil War the Duchess of Atholl earned for herself the name of the"Red Duchess" by her staunch advocacy of the Republi•can causeandshe has on many occasionsexpressedheradmiration of X sia. This background lends all the moreweighttothestrongdenunciation she uttered recently of Russian policy at ameeting held in Glasgow under the auspices of the recently-formed Scottishorganisationtopromotefriendshipwith Poland.

The Duchess dealt with the refusal of the Russians to help the Polish Home Army in Warsaw after their radiostations had urged it repeatedly to rise, referred to the mass deportationsofPolesbythe Russiansin 1939, andsaidthatnonewscouldbeobtain. ed even now of great numbers of them, and she described the atrocities committedbySoviettroopsintheBaltic countrieswhich had led the people "in an atmosphere of terror" to vote their States into the Soviet Union.

Shespoke, shesaid,"as one whoincurred grave suspicion in some quartersofbeingaCommunistintheyears between 1936 and 1939,because Ifeit it myduty todoall Icould to warn thecountryoftheNazi menaceandto thatend supported the Russian ForeignMinister'splea for co-operation withhiscountryin asystemof collective security through the League of Nations."

(AgonyofMind.

Recalling that in 1939 the Russians carriedofffrom Eastern Polandabout onemillion men,women and children, sheadded:

Eversince Polish soldiers began t cotpe to Scotland four years ago I havemetofficers in agonyof mind as to the fateof wives and childrenwho

l'ddisappearedin thisway... When. ermany attacked Russia in 1941, the Russians agreed that all Pole thusdeportedshouldbesentback,but onlyaminority havebeen returned to date. The Polish army fighting todav in Italy is composed largely of such returned deportees as are fit for service. Others Whom Ihave seen and talked with in Polish hospitals— young men in the prime of life—have

come back with tuberculosis due tc overwork and under-feeding, and they are filling the tuberculosis ward in one of our hospitals. But the great majority of Polish deportees are stilt in Russia,nooneknows where. The Polish Government cannot make in. quiries about them, and no food parcels can he sent to them.'

"When we bear these facts in 'mind," she continued,"and remember that the Russian demand of the CurzonLineastheRussianfrontier would bring'thirteen millions of Poles unn_ Russian rule, can we not understand the Polish Government's strong ubjection to suchasacrifice of so many of their people?"

She denied thebona-fides of the so c•alled'National Committee of Liberation, sayingthatitrepresented mainly Communists, who, she was told, were avery small minority of the Polish people.

Of Russian actions in the Baltic countries she said:

"Before Germany had attacked Russiain1941,the Russianshadseizedthe Baltic States—Esthonia, Latvia and Lithuania--executing many and deporting thousands. fhe remaining citizens, inan atmosphere of terror, voted their States into the Soviet Union. Noinformationhas beengiven as to the whereabouts or safety of those deported, and, as in the case of Poland, no help canbe sent to them.

"The United States Government, to its great credit,has refused to recognise the incorporation of these States in theSoviet Union. Imost earnest. lyhopethatwillbetheattitudeofour 0overnmentwhen we come to the Peace Conference. If we do not, we are throwing overboard the Atlantic Charter,,with its solemn promise that all States,howeversmall, shall be free to have theform ofgovernment th desire,apromisethathas been accepted by Soviet Russia."

LETTER OF SYMPATHY TO MOTHER

A letter, published in America, will be read with feeling by all who have lost dear ones in the war.

It was senttoMrs. Margaret Maginnis Angelo, recently retired president of the American National Council of Catholic Women, following the death in action of herson, and reads:

"Your son has reached the goal for which Godcreatedhim. Werewenot of such'little faith; we would unhesitatingly congratulate the mother upon the completionofherwork,

"It was yourvocation to bear your eon twice,onceforearth, onceforhea. ven. In every birth there is pain, intensepain. Nontheless, it isafruitful pain.

"So shall this plan of his birth in eternitybecomeapartofyoureternal happinesswith him and withGod.

"What we aremissing by not being with him1just think—to be with Se. bastian the Soldier; to trade war stories with Ignatius;to ask little Tarcissiushoneitallhappened; tobeholdCe. celia, Agnes, Lucy and Agatha, fiery Paulandgrandold Peter; toseesuch wonders, the Angels,Michael and his Archangels,OurDearLady; tobepre• sented toOurFather alongside of our Brother, Christl
