PRAGUEFINDS PRETEXTIN RIOTS

ByDr.FriedrichFunder. i (Correspondent,N.C.W.C.News Service)

VIENNA,July15.-Observers ofcurrentdevelopmentsinCzechoslovakiahavenotbeensurprisedbytheregime'sswiftand savagereactiontorecentevents inSlovakia.Withinafewdays afterthefirstreportsofpopularresistancetothearrestof parishpriestsinanumberof ti Slovakvillages,scoresofpeople werechargedwithconspiracy, rioting,armedrebellionand,in somecases,manslaughter.Sentenceswerepassedbyspecial courtsrangingfromlongterms ofimprisonmenttothedeath penalty.

Thespeedwithwhichthese measureswerecarriedoutand thecrueltyofthesentencesimposedareregardedasproofthat thePragueregimemorethan expectedtheactiveopposition oftheSlovakCatholicpeasantrytothepersecutionoftheir priests;andthat,insomeinstancesatleast,agentprovocateurshavebeenusedsoasto makesurethatincidentswould occurwhichcouldbequotedin justificationoftheregime'snext onslaughtagainsttheChurch.

Inanycase,whethercommunistagentshave,infact,been usedforthatpurposeornot,it isclearthatnothingcouldhave suitedthecommunistgovernmentbetterthantheattitudeof thosebraveSlovakCatholics, who,ratherthanseetheirpriests ledawayinchains,armedthemselveswithsticksandpitchforks andthusfacedthesub-machine gunsofthepolice.

Tothosewhodidn'tthink,life presentednoproblems;tothose whodid,lifewasahopeless puzzle. Ihadthegreatestdifficultyin prayingduringthetimeIworked.Itwasonlyonthethird nightthatIrememberedGod's presence,andIhadhadfive year'straininginthespiritual life.Cominghomefromwork completelyexhausted,Ihadto forcemyselftosaymyprayers beforegoingoffintoadeadsleep.
