Anddespitetheearlyfailure theydid,intheend,founda FettlementofGermanandPolish Catholics.ThusWeikert'sdream ysasrealised.Theyfounded alsothefirstJesuitCollegein AustraliaatSevenhills-aname withwhichtoconjurememoroes ofthatgloriouspast.Thecollegeisnolongerthere,butSevenhillsis.To-dayitisthe ChurchandresidenceofSt. Aloysius.Letitbementioned inpassingthatin1910theSouth Australianmission,untilthenattachedtotheAustrianProvince, wasmergedwiththeIrishProvince.

WhyNotaFamilyWage?

Accordingtoapressreport fromCanberra,theFederalGovernmenthopessoontoestablish anArbitrationCourtresearch bureauto"inform"theCourton questionssuchasthecalculation ofthebasicwage. Itisundoubtedlytruethatmanyitems arenotincludedintheassessmentofthebasicwagewhich wouldhavebeenregardedasluxuriesin1907,butwhicharenow amongthenormalamenitiesof life.Furthermore,itistobe hopedthatsomethingalittle morehumanthanstatisticalinformationwillbeprovidedbythe proposedresearchbureau.Inan agewhereineconomicsappearsa.: thequeenofsciences,thereisa greatneedfortemperingitsiron lawswithsomethinginthenature ofabroadsociology,seeingthat religionisinthediscard.

Priortothewaraninteresting trendwasdevelopinginArbitrationcircles,namely,thenotion thatitwaspartofthefunction oftheCourttoassessthebasic wagewithaweathereyeonthe abilityofindustrytopay.An extensionofthattendencyisthe problemofwhetherto-dayitis withintheprovinceoftheArbitrationCourttoconsiderwhether itsdecisionsfostertheperilous trendtowardsinflation.Myown viewisthatsuchconsiderations :ireparamountlymattersofhigh statecraft,andthattheworker shouldnotbepenalisedonscores onwhichtheArbitrationCourt (oranyoneelse,forthatmatter) isnotaninfallibleexpert.

TheeffortsoftheFederalGovernmenttosubstituteconciliationforarbitrationhavenot beenconspicuouslysuccessfulto (late.Thatisnotthefaultof theGovernment,insofarasthe idealismbehinditsendeavoursignoredtherealitiesofthesocial conditionofthiscountry.The presentthreatofageneralcoal strikeunderlinesthecentralissue thatthekeyunions,whichare underCommunistdomination,are notprimarilyconcernedabout industrialconditionsatall,but seizeupontheflimsiestpretext forthemakingofpoliticalcapital.

Thatisnottosay,however, thateverythingislovelyinthe industrialgarden.Despitepro-

Somesuchsystemwasoutlined intheSocialJusticeStatementof afewyearsago.Theelements ofitwere:TheCourtshouldfixa wagecommensuratewiththe modestlivelihoodofasingleman, allowinghimtosavesomething forearlymarriage.Uponmarriagesomethingshouldbeadded tohiswagestoenablehimto providedecentlyforhiswifeand imilaradditionswiththebirth ofeachchild.

Itis,ofcourse,realisedthat suchaschemewouldmilitate againsttheemploymentofthe large-familyman,andhenceit wasfurthersuggestedthatinparticulargroupingsofindustryor throughoutindustrygenerallyan equalisationfundshouldhesetup throughwhichanomaliesmight besmoothedoutandthewhole productivesystemshareequally inprovisionforthenation'sfamilies.Asystemsimilartothat ofthepresentpay-rolltaxmight, easilybedivertedtosuchapurpose. Inanycaseitiscertainthat somesuchincentivewilleventuallyhavetobeintroducedin ordertocatchupwiththeproductionlag,whichistheonly waytohaltinflationandthedisasterofanotherdepression.It wouldbeanincentive,notof charityorgenerosity,butofstrict justice.Foriftheworkmanis obligedtogiveafairday'swork, heisequallyentitledtoreceivea wagewhichwillenablehimto dischargehisobligationswith freedomanddignity,andwithout aparalysingsenseofwantand insecurity.

DENVER-(NC).-"Forme

ThesewerethewordsofBishopGregoryRozman,ofLjubljana,inYugoslavia,arefugee fromTito'sreignofterror,livingexampleofthe"freedom" theRedleadergivesreligion.

BishopRozmanwasinDenveronabriefvisittotheHoly Rosarypatish.Inaninterview witha"DenverCatholicRegister"reporter,hegaveapicture ofconditionsinhishomeland.

(Thethreatofdeathanda -(ntenceto18yearsathardlabourhavepreventedtheBishop fromenteringhisdiocesefor threeyears.Thesentencewas passedonhim,inabsentia,on August26,1946,afterhehad leftLjublpana.Thecharge"anenemyoftheState-means, ofcourse,onlythatheisloyal totheHolySee.)

BeforeTito'sseizurethere were700priestsintheLjubljana diocese.Nowthereareonly threeorfourhundred.Among thesecularclergyalone,87have beenkilledorhavedisappeared,

and152arenowrefugees.He hasnocompletefiguresontile lossesamongthereligiousclergy, butknowsdefinitelythat12VincentianFathersand20Salesians havelosttheirlives.Of277 parishes,48arewithoutpriests.

TheteachingSistershavedisappearedentirely.Turnedout oftheirschoolswhentheState seizedthem,theanunswereleft toshiftforthemselves.

Foratimenunsworkingin hospitalswereallowedtocontinuetheirreligiouslife,butthis summereventheyweredisband. ed.Titousesothermeansof persecutionagainstthosepriests whoremain.Forexample,the Reddictatorhaswithdrawnstate support;alsohehasmadeitextremelydifficultfortheclergyto findsupportelsewhere.They mayneithercollectnoraskfor offerings.Onlywhatcomesto themfreely,inthechurchitself, maybeaccepted. Theinstructionofchildrenis alsoprevented-byamethodno lessobviousandcrude.Bylaw, childrenupto14yearsofage mayreceivereligiousinstruction intheschools(allstateowned now)iftheirparentsrequestit.

Butsimplybydenyingteacher certificatestothecatechists,the guaranteeofinstructionismade worthless.Andthescheduling ofyouthgroupactivitiesonSundaymorningisasimplewayof keepingthechildrenfromMass.

BishopRozmandoesnotthink thereisanythingofseriousmomenttotheTito-Stalin"break.'

Iftherewere,Stalinwouldhave "crackeddown"onthepuppet whoaspiredtopullhisown stringsinaBalkanfederation.

Askedtoevaluatethetrue strengthoftheCommunists,he estimatedthat,atmost,lessthan athirdoftheYugoslavpeople aresympathetictoCommunism.

PropertyaNecessaryOutcomeofHumanNature

ThefirstletterthiseveningiJ from"NoCommo,"Perth.His extremelyinterestingletterisfar toolongtoreadovertheair.I havesummariseditandreduced ittosixsimplestatements,while atthesametimekeepingas muchaspossibletothewordshe ..ctuallyused.

Heairites:

"DearSir,-CatholicSocialIleformisbasedonafalseprinciple,foritalldependsonthe ideaofPrivateProperty. I holdthatPrivatePropertyis wrong."

A.Youarecorrectinsaying thatCatholicSocialJusticeis basedontheideaofPrivate Property,butImustcontradict yourstatementthattheprinciple ofPrivatePropertyiswrong.

PrivatePropertyisthenecessaryoutcomeofhumannature whichwascreatedbyGod.God gavetheearthanditsfruitsto manforthebenefitofall,but theverynatureofthesegiftsis suchthatunlesstheuseofthem isdivided,theywillconstituteno benefittoanyone.Withthe exceptionofafewkindsoffruit growingwildintropicallands, andreadyforeating,thereno oroductofthesoilwhichisof benefittomanexceptthrough man'sownlabour.Thefool youeat,theclothesyouwear, andthematerialsyouuseforthe homeyoubuild,arealltheoutcomeofman'swork.Ithink youhavegotyoureyesonthe manygoodsdisplayedinthe shopwindowsinPerth.Butfor theideaofPrivatePropertyyuu maybeinclinedtothinkthat someofthesewouldbeyours. Thefactis,however.thatwere therenoPrivatePropertythere wouldbenosuchshopwindows orgoodstodisplay.

Thefactthatamanputshis ,,v,41labourintoathing,whether itbethelabourofhisbrainor hands,createsalinkbetween himselfandthethinghehas produced.Hehasbyhiswork embodiedsomethingofhimself, ofhisownpersonality,intothe thing.Themoraloutcomeof thispersonalrelationoftheman towhathehasmade,isownership,or,aswesay,PrivateProperty. Suppose,beingtiredofthe manyunattainableluxuriestobe seenintheshopwindows,you decidedtogooutintothebush. Therewithyourownhandsyou cutdownsometreesandbuild foryourselfalittlehut,you clearandplantwithgreatlabourasmallgarden,andraise stockandpoultrysufficientfor yourneeds.Whatwouldbe yourattitudeifa"NoCommo" camealongandsaid,"Friend,the principleofPrivatePropertyis allwrong.Iamtakingallthis overfromyou."Youwould berightlyindignant,because whatyouhaveslavedtoproduce isyours,theoutcomeofyour thought,planning,energyand skill.Thatlittlehomesteadis partofyourself,youhaveincorporatedsomethingofyourself intoit;beinganoutflowofyourselfitispartofyou,itisyours.

Youwrite: "'Hieunequaldistributionof goodscomesfromtheprincipleofPrivateProperty."

Yourlettercontinues:

"PrivatePropertyisaprincipleinventedbyCapitalists, anddoesnotcomefromGod."

Thatdoesnotmakehisposses sionsanythelesshis.Inoth.r words,theinequalityofPrivate Propertyisnotinitselfagainst humannatureorneednotbe in anywayunjust.
