ThreeTendenciestobeFeared inSettingWorldRight

Thefulltextofthespeechwhich lir.Salazar,thePortuguesePremier, deliveredonApril27,hasnowreached us,andwegivebelowhisremarkable analysisoftheNewOrderwhich'we arepromisedinthepost-warworld.

Perhapsthemostinterestingpointin thismasterlyanalysisisSalazar'sdeclarationofhisfaithinnational,free andindependententitiesasthebest basisfororganisation,andforthesolutionofworldproblems.WhilerecognisingtheinterdependenceandfellowshipofStatesheconsidersthattwentiethcenturymanisnotyetcapable ofresolvingsuchproblemsbymeansof supra-national,continentalorworld formsoforganisation.

Reformingtheworldmeanssimply tolaydownsomerulesoflifeforthe peoplesoftheworldandtodevelop socialandpoliticalidealslikelytoimprovethelifeofmenandtopromote 1theprogressandwell-beingofnations. Aneworderisawaited,butonlythe resultofthewarwilldeterminewho istodefineit.Ithasbeenauthorita-

tivelydeclaredthatthisordermustbe acceptedwillinglyorbyforce.Hence we,too,inanycase,areconcernedin thematter.

FactorsThatWillDetermineNew Order.

Lifeto-morrow,inmanyofitsaspects,willnotdependonwhowinsthe victory,andcivilisationwillbesustainedbyideaswhicharealreadyalive everywhere,inthemidstandinspite oftheconflict,andareproducingtheir ownatmosphereineverycountryin EuropeandAmerica.Neverthelessit iscertainthattheprocedureandperhapsevensomeofthesolutionswill dependonthevictorsandontherelativestateoftheirforcesattheend ofthewar.

Forthisreason,perhapF, andbecausethewarunfortunately threatenstobealongone,neitherside hasgonebeyondmakingvaguestatementswhich,fromprudenceorfrominherentdifficulties,leavesomedofthe essentialpointsunanswered,Thus evenifitwerelegitimateandcogvenienttodosoonewouldnotbeableto enterintoanydiscussion.

ThreeTendenciestobeFeared.

Formypart,perhapsunjustifiably,I fearthreeparticulartendenciesinthe schemeforsettingrighttheworld-the desireforanidealstateofaffairs,givinganunrealvaluetoaspirations;the rutofwarinthehabitofacollectivisedlife;thepredominanceofeconomic considerations,thatis,thesubordinationofallsolutionstotheeconomic exigencieswhichwouldmakecivilisa-

tionlosethecharmandvaluewhich humanityhasputintoit,andwould revolutionisetheworldwithoutbringingpeace.

Whateverformtheseplansmaytake, theywillrestontwobasicproblemsorderandinternationalcollaboration.

WiththeexceptionofCommunism, whichwillcontinuetobeafactorof disorder,theimmediateconcernofall willbetoseethatorderismaintained whereitstillexistsandisre-establishedwhereithasbeendestroyed.The problemisallthegreaterandmore seriousonaccountofthehatred,the trailofviolence,destitutionandother resultsofthewar,andnosensibledirectionofeventsmaychallengetheinternalorganisationofanyState'which isinitselfaguaranteeoforder.Only Communisminmyopinionisthegreatesthumanproblemofalltimes,Imean thatitisaproblemofthebasicconceptsofhumanityandofindividual andsociallife,andthereforeamatter ofthegravestrisktoWesternorChristiancivilisation.

ExtinctionofLiberty.

Itisprobablethatnoconceptoflife haseverbeforeexhausteditselfsocompletelyinthecourseofasocialexperiment.Neverbefore,itseems,have science,technology,andorganisation beensubstitutedforthathumanand spontaneousinitiativethatmakesfor thesweetness,richnessandattraction ofotherinterpretationsofwhatlife andmanrepresent.Ithasbeenshown thatso-calledmaterialprogress-militarypower,marvellousmachinesand industrialplants-mayco-existwith thediminutionandextinctionoffree will.WheretheStateandtheMachineabsorbman,thereisnoroom leftforhumanliberty.Itisdoubtfulwhethertheseessentialaspectsof thequestioncaneverbeforgotten-no

matterwhatfellowshipswarmayinkpose.

WorldNotReadyForSupra-National Organisation.

Whatwillbethefoundationforthat closeco-operationbetweennations whicheveryonenowregardsasanessentialconditionofpeaceandoffuture well-being?Theanswerisofgreat interesttousasoureconomicandpoliticalnationalismmay,onthataccount, befoundoutsidethegenerallinesof warreorganisation,withacorrespondingneedforfutureadjustments.The factthatwarsarisefromconflictsbetvieencountries-andnowintercontinentalaspectsarebecomingapparent -leadsmany,verynaturally,toseek theremedyforsuchgreatillsinsupranational,continentalorworldformsof organisation.Itisnotinaccordance withmyviews,norisittheprinciple ofourRevolution,todenytheinterdependenceandfellowshipbetween Statesnortheneedforaformulafor internationalorganisationoflabour whichshouldsettleproblemsincommonanddeterminewhatco-operation Shouldberendered-

EDUCATION-WHYNOTCONCERTEDACTION?

Aninvestigationintotheeffectofthe seculareducationsystemontheChristianknowledgeandpracticeofthe ,hildrenwasadvocatedbytheRt. Rev.Mgr.ErisO'Brien,whoisvicechairmanoftheNewSouthWalesGovernmentAdvisoryCommitteeonChild Welfare,attheConference.

"Anomaliesintheeducationsystem haveoftenbeendiscussed,butthere hasneverbeenanyconcertedaction bytheChristianChurchtocompelthe investigationofthembyafully-authorisedboardofinquiry,"hesaid.

"Inviewoftheevidentdeclineof Christianpractice,theunsatisfactory conditionofhumansocietyandthe convictionheldbymanyoftheclergy thattheseevilsariseoutofthelack ofreligionineducation,thetimehas surelyarrivedwhenChristianchurches cannolongerdelayincallingforaninvestigationintoournationaleducation system."

ShockingIndictment.

Mgr.O'Briendescribedas"themost shockingindictmentitispossibleto makeagainstAustralianpublicleaders andlegislators"thefactthatinthe60 yearsofseculareducationsystemin Australianoattempthadeverbeen madetoinvestigatetheeffectsofthe systemonChristianknowledgeand practiceofthechildren.Mostother itemsoflegislaturehadbeensubjectedtowideinvestigationbycommissionsofinquiry.

"WeCatholicshavedeclaredthatthe existingnationalsystemofeducationis wrong,becauseitfailstoprovideareligioustraining,anddirectedourchildrentoavoiditwhenevertheycould doso,"hesaid."Butmedidnotleave theproblemonthistheoreticalplane. Withoutcondoningtheun-moralaction oftheGovernment,orabandoning hopeofanultimatesolutiontotheproblem.weestablishedourowneducation systemandspentmorethan£50,000,000 onit."

Discountingtheargumentthatthe clergywereallowedtherightofinstructingthechildreninthesecular schoolsforanhouraday,Mgr. O'BriensaidthattheGovernment madeeducationcompulsory,taxedall citizenstopayforit,andundertook toprovideeducationforallchildrenin allsubjectsnecessaryfortheirproper andfulldevelopmentascitizens.In practice,ittaughteveryusefulsubject, exceptone,andtheexcludedsubject 'wasreligion.Asacompromise,theGovernmentallowedpeoplewhowerenot attachedtotheschoolstaffstocome totheseschoolsandteachreligionif theycouldandwished'.TheStatedid notprovideteachinginreligion;it
