MissionSunday,October24th.

Thirtyyearsago,whenAustraaliaitselfhadonlyjustceased tobeamissionarycountry,there mighthavebeensomeexcusefor thepersonwhoregardedthe foreignmissionfieldasoutside hisprovince.To-day,whenmissionarypropagandaaimsatmakingeveryCatholicmission-minded,andwhenthewholetrendof publicinterestistowardsforeign affairs,theappealforthemissionshasnotsostrangeasound.

Australiato-daymustdomore forthemissionsthaneverbefore.In1937Australiagave £12,212tothePropagationofthe Faithforthemissions;in1947it gave£53,780.Themembership oftheSocietycertainlyhas grown,butthefactstillremains thatthecontributionperadultis only10fd.Surelyanyperson willagreethatthisisavery smallsumtorepresentthecontributionofAustralianCatholics tothegreatestcharityofall. MissionSundayistheopportunityathand.Onthisdaythe HolyFatherappealstoevery persontoprayandmakesacrificesfortheMissions.OnMissionSundayeveryCatholicfamilycouldmakeacontributionto theMissions,anditshouldbe oneworthyoftheblessingsgiventousbyGod.

Australiansmaythinkthat thingsarenotasgoodasthey maywish,post-warproblems confrontusonallsides,butwhat aboutthemillionswhohaveall ofthesedifficultiesandmany othersbesides;whataboutthe nationsthatlostall;whatabout thepaganpeopleswholosteverythingandhadnofaithtosustainthemamidsttheirtrialsand tribulations?

Omissiontogivehelptothe Missionsis,ofcourse,aformof indifference.UnlessCatholicsat homecontributetothesupport ofthemissionaries,itisobvious thattheChurchcannotexpand asitshould.Itissomewhatof arevelationthat,despite1,900 yearsofmissionarywork,there stillremainathousandmillion Peoplewhohavenevereven heardofChrist.Manyofthese wantthetruefaithbutcannot getit.Thisisbecauseinmany instancesthematerialfacilities arenotavailabletoenablemissionariestoreachthem;10id. perheadfromAustralianCatholicslooksverysmallinthelight ofthis.

OnnextSunda',thereisa world-wideappealfortheMissionSociety.SendyourdonationnowtoyourdiocesandirectorforthePropagationofthe Faith.WhenPopePiusXI.solerenlyproclaimed:"Allarebound tohelpthesacredmissionstothe paganpeoples.Godwillone daydemandastrictaccountof thisobligation,"hewasstatinga simpletruth.HelpingtheMissionsisnotaworkofcharitable option,perhapsofsupererogation;itissimplyadutytoGod.

FallaciesofMarx'sTheory ofSurplus-Value

Thefirstletterto-nightisfrom "TuartHill,"whowrites:

"Whatistheattitudeofthe RomanCatholicChurchtowardstheteachingsofKarl MarxonthetheoryofSurplusvalue,asexpoundedbyhimin hisbook,'Capital'?"

A.:AccordingtoMarx,theinjusticesofourmoderncapitalistic systemcanbeexplainedbyhis theoryofSurplus-value.Here arehisownwordstakenfrom "Capital,"Vol.I.:"Surplus-value isessentially 'avalueacquiredwithoutcompensation,the product oftheunremuneratedlabourofothers."IfMarx iscorrectindescribingSurplusvalue,heisdescribingathing whichisunjust,andwhatnot onlytheCatholicChurchshould condemn,butwhichanyfairmindedmanwouldalsocondemn. ButisMarx'stheoryofSurplusvaluecorrect?Inorderthat listenersmayjudgeforthemselves,Ishalltrytooutlinewhat Marxmeantbyhistheoryof Surplus-value.

BeforedealingwithSurplusvalue,Marxexplainswhathe meansbyValue.Incapitalistic societyeverykindofproducehas thecharacterofmerchandise.In everyclassofmerchandisewe candistinguishatwofoldvalue, theValueinUseandtheValue inExchange.Forinstance,bread mayserveasfood.Therewe haveitsvalueinuse.Itmay alsobegiveninexchange,say foraglassofmilk.Therewe haveitsvalueinexchange.

AccordingtoMarx,theusevalueofthebreadconsistsof itsutilityinsatisfyinghuman needs;itsutilityisderivedfrom itschemicalandphysicalproperties.Thegreaterthehuman needforthebread,thegreater istheuse-valueofthebread.

Butthisbreadhasalsoanexchange-value.Accordingtohim, theexchange-valueofthebread comesONLYfromthehuman labourexpendedonitsproduction.Inotherwords,hesays thatitisthemeasureoflabour embodiedintheloafofbread thatdeterminesitsvalueinexchange.

Wecannowputhistheoryof exchange-valueinmoregeneral terms.Anykindofmerchandisewhichembodiesthesame amountofnecessaryco-operative labourisofthesameexchangevalue.

Itisfromthisprinciplethathe deduceshisdoctrineofSurplusvalue,Weshalllateroncome backtoittoseeifitiscorrect.

"HowdoesMarxarriveathis theoryofSurplus-value?"'

A.:Hedoesitbyapplyingto man'slabourcapacitytheconclusionsthathereachedabout thevalueofmerchandise.Itis truethatmodernconditionsforce thelabouringmantoofferhis labourforhire.Thelabourof theemployeehas,therefore,takenonthecharacterofacommoditythatisputupforsale,and likethatcommodity,ithass twofoldvalue,namely,itsexchange-value,anditsuse-value.

"Howistheexchange-valueof labour-capacitydetermined?"

A.:AccordingtoMarx,this exchange-valueorthewagesis determinedbywhatisknowna, theIronLawofWages.This IronLawofWages,whichhe gotfromtheManchesterSchool ofEconomics,statesthatwages cannotriseabovetheminimum necessaryforsubsistence.We shallhavesomethingtosaylater aboutthisIronLaw.

"Whatistheuse-valueoflabour-capacity?"

A.:Itissimplythevalueofthe workactuallydonebytheemployeeforhisemployer,Ifthe exchange-valueoflalbourcapacityisequaltoi,tsuse-value,there willbenoprofitfortheemployer.inotherwords,theemployeemustdoworkwhichhas greatervaluethanthewageshe receives,ifheistobringaprofittohisemployer.Thedifferencebetweenthegreaterusevalueandtheexchange-valueof labour-capacityiscalledSurplusvalue.ThisSurplus-valuecomes solelyfromlabour-capacity,and theemployeewhocreatesitgets nothinginreturn.Hencethe injustice."Itisavalue,"accordingtoMarx,"acquiredwithoutcompensation."Thisisa faultyconclusionbecause:

1.Itisnottruetosaythatthe exchange-valueofacommodity isdeterminedsolelybythemeasureoflabourembodiedinit. Thousandsofexamplesshowthis tobeuntrue.Take,forinstance, differentqualitiesofwoodIn SmithAmericanforests.The samelabourisembodiedinhigh gradeandlowgradewood,yet theexchange-valueofthese woodsisnotthesame.AccordingtoMarx,theyshouldbe.The differenceliesinthehigherand lowerqualitiesinthevarious woods,andtheirdesirabilityat anygiventimeorplace.Again, supposeamanemployedothers tomakeshoesfrompaste-board, theamountoflabourwouldnot determinetheexchange-value tobethesameasthatofleather shoesonwhichthesameamount oflabourwasexpended.The reasonagainliesinthefactthat itistheuse-valueoftheshoes thathelpstodeterminetheirexchange-value.Labourembod5ed inacommoditydoubtlessdeterminestosomeextenttheexchange-valueofthatcommodity, butitisnottheonlydeterminingfactor.

2.TheIronLawofWages,as heldbytheMancesterSchoolof Economics,hasnotruthinit thesedays,whatevermaybe saidofthetimeswhenMarxand Engelslived.Wagesnowadays doriseabovesubsistencelevel, andpreciselybecausetheusevalueoflabour-capacityisadeterminingfactorinthewages paidtotheemployee.

A.:Noluckatall.Ifyouare listening-in,pleasekeepcool.I wouldnotinsultthepublicby readingtothemthedisgusting suggestionscontainedinthelast twopagesofyoursix-pageletter.

Youwrite:
