Not"DeadinLaw"

Nun'sRighttoInheritProperty.

Animportantdecisionhasbeen madebytheSupremeCourtofMississippi,U.S.A.,inthecaseofSisterImelda,oftheSistersofMercy,affecting therightofSisterstoinheritproperty underthelawsoftheStateofMississippi.

Ineffect,thedecisionestablishesthat aSistermayinheritpropertydespite thefactthatshehastakenavowof povertyrequiringhertoturnoverto hercommunityanypropertyshemay acquire.Italsoestablishesthatthe communitymaythereupontakethe benefictsoftheproperty,andthat neithertheStatenorheirsmoredistantthantheSistermayclaimthe inheritanceonthebasisthatsheis "legallydead"oronotherbases.

AllmembersoftheSupremeCourt concurredinthedecisionexceptone, andthedissentingjusticedismissed asidlethecontentionthataSisterwho takesavowofpovertyundergoes "civildeath."Heconcludedhisdissentingopinionwithacomplimentto theSistersofMercy.

Inthecasedecided,SisterImelda, oftheSistersofMercy,whosename wasMissEmmaWood,fellheir,as nextofkin,toavaluableestatein Natchez.Miss.Shortlyafterward,SisterImeldatransferredtheinheritance totheRt.Rev.RichardGerow,Bishop ofNatchez,andhissuccessorsinoffice, astrustees,tobeh anddisposedof intrustforthebeneoftheSistersof Mercy.

NatureandHistoryofSocialism

(ByRev.E.Cahill,S.J.)

Severallooseapplicationsoftheterm Socialismareinvogue,andarevery misleading.Socialismessentiallyimpliesanegationorprohibitionofindividualownershipofproductiveproperty,andanexcessiveandunnatural degreeofStatecontrol.Itmaybe definedas.asystemofsocialandeconomicorganisationinwhichtheState becomesthesoleownerofallthesourcesofproductionandmeansofdistribution,andassumestoitselfadespotic controlofthechiefactivitiesofhumanlife.ThereisanessentialdifferencebetweenSocialismandCommun. ism.ThelatterwouldhaveallmaLerialgoodsownedbythecommunity asawhole,atleastuptothemoment ftheirappropriationforimmediate use.IntheSocialistsystemthatis no:so.Individualsmayownproperty suchasfood,clothing,dwelling-houses, gardens,vehicles,furniture,books,etc., 1111andmayevenaccumulatewealthin gold,silver,orpreciousstones.But theyare,atleast,partially,excluded fromwhatisknownasproductive goodsorproperty,suchasland,mines, machinery,etc.Thesetheindividual cannotown,exceptinsofarashecan utiliseorexploitthembyhisownpersonallabour.Hecannotemploywage labourerstoworkthem,norcanhe tradeinthemforperosnalprofit.

"ScientificSocialism." TheidealsandmotivesofMarxian or"scientific"SocialismdifferfundamentallyfromthoseofCommunism,at leastfromthattypewhichisreligious orphilanthropicinorigin.Thecommunalidealistregardsthecommunity asonelargefamilyandwishesthat eachmemberworkunselfishlyforthe goodofallwhilereceivinginreturn, nomatterhowgreathiscontribution, onlyoneman'ssharefromthecommonstore.TheobjectoftheSocialist,ontheotherhand,israthertoestablishasysteminwhicheverybody receivesthefruitofhisorherown labour.AccordingtotheSocialist theorythegreaterportionofthefruit 01thehiredworker'slabourisappropriatedbytheemployer,andhence thesystemisunjustandnecessarily leadstotheconcentrationofwealth inthehandsofasmallcapitalistclass. Toabolishthewagesystemis,therefore,oneoftheirprimaryobjects.The largesystemandprivateownershipof productivepropertyareessentially connectedwitheachother,sointhe viewofSocialists,thelatteralsois unjustandimmoralandmustcease. Further,sincethewageearnersand thecapitalistemployershaveinterests diametricallyopposed,theirnormalrelationsmustbemutualstruggletill thecapitalistownersarefinallyeliminated.Inotherwords,the"ClassWar" 1;assumedtobeanecessaryconsequenceofourpresentsocialandeconomiclife.

MakingtheStateSupreme.

Itisclearfromallthisthatthees:.ablishmentofafullSocialisticregimewouldinvolveacompleteand probablyviolenttransferofallcapital totheState,apparentlywithoutany compensationtothepresentindividual oners.Thisiswhatactuallytook placeinRussiain1918,andalthough theSocialistrulersofRussiahavefor thepresentpracticallyceasedtheattempttocarryonaneconomicsystem onthebasisofcompleteSocialism,they stillprofesstobelievethatitcanbe clonewhenthepeople'soutlookand habitshavebeenformedin.accordancewiththeSocialisticideal.Similarly,advocatesofStateSocialismare willingtomakemanyconcessionsto Itheexigenciesofthestatusquo,at leastduringatransitionperiodoruntil thetimeisripefortheabolitionofall privateownershipofcapital_ SocialismPurelyMaterialistic. Socialistsnotonlyadvanceeconomic principlesandaims,buttheyalsoput forwardadefiniteall-roundphilosophy ofhumanlife.Intheirsystena_which likeLiberalismispurelymaterialistic, noaccountistakenofmoralorspiritualgoodsorofanyfuturelife;,all humanwantsanddesirescentreonmaterialbenefitsandanimalgratification. Henceallhumanactivitiesaredominatedbyeconomicrelations,anddutiesandrightsinregardtofamilyand country,dutiestowardsGodHimself, ceasetohaveanyplaceormeaning. ForcingOuttheChurch. Asnoindividualcan,undertheSocialistsystem,controlproductiveprciperty.itfollowsthatnoindividualcan beprimarilyresponsibleforthesupportofhiswifeandchildren,sothat theStatemustbeprimarilyresponsible fortheseasforallelse.includingthe educationofthechildren.Consequentlythe'familydisappearsasaDiv-

inelyinstitutedandpermanentsociety, andthepermancyofmarriageisno longernecessaryordesirable.Again. Religionhavingnorationalbasisinthe Socialistphilosophy,.theChurchdisappearsasapublicinstitution,andhas norightorstandinginaSocialist State.Thesearethemainoutlinesof thesystemwhichtheSocialistsaimat erectingontheruinsoftheexisting civilisation.

PassingtothehistoryofSocialism, thelecturersaidthatseveralofits ideasandprinciples,wereborrowed fromCommunistwritersoftheunChristiantype,andfromothernineteenthcenturyeconomists,including St.SimonandLouis.BlancofFrance, RobertusandLasalleofGermany,GodwinandCharlesHallofEngland.In thewritingsofthesearetobefound mostofthe!theoriesandcatch-words, partlytrue,'partlyfalse,associated withSocialistpropaganda,suchas"all menareequalbynatureandbylaw," "Appropriationbyindividualsofthe unearnedincrementisunjust,"etc. Thesewritingsalsocontainthesubstancesofthetheoriesof"Surplus Value,""theExploitationofthePoor bytheRich,""theClassWar,'etc., whichformthebasisofMarx'sgreat work,"DasCapital.'KarlMarx (died1:4:0istherealfounderofmodernSocialism:.Allthedifferenttypes ofrealSocialismarebasedonthe Marxiansystem.Marxandhisfriend. FrederickEngels,publishedin1848the "CommunistManifesto"which,with "DasCapital,"isregardedbytheSocialistsastheCharterofFreedom.As aresultoftherevolutionsof1848the revolutionarysocietiesweresuppressed ontheContinent,andmanyofthe leaders.includingMarx,tookrefugein England.ThereMarxfounded,in 1864,"TheInternationalWorkmen's Asociation,"whichmet.annuallyindifferentEuropeancities.Thisorganisation,byerectingSocialismintoaworldwideasociation,hasgivenitimmense power.Theobjectofthis"International."asitiscalled,istobringabout the"GreatRevolution"bymeansof simultaneousrisingsallovertheworld.

The"International"collapsedsoon after1871.principallyowingtothe failureoftheParisRevolutionofthat year,inwhichthefierceanti-Christian characterofSocialismwasdisplayed.
