ByREV.W.A.KASCHMITTER,M.M. (Correspondent,N.C.W.C.NewsService).

TOKYO,May4.-TheVeryRev.JosephRutten,former SuperniorGeneraloftheMissionariesoftheImmaculate HeartofMary(Scheut)andoneofthegreatestmissioners theCatholicChurchhashadinChinainthelast200years, hasdiedatPauinFraner,(March18),accordingtoareport justreceivedhere.

FatherRuttenwenttoMongoliashortlyaftertheBoxer Rebellionnearly50yearsago. Missionersofthosedayswere greatlyinconveniencedbythe factthatnomapoftheareahad everbeenmade,andattherequestofhisBishop,FatherRuttenspentthreeyearstravelling aboutbycamel,armedwitha sextant,makingwhatisperhaps evento-daythe,onlyexisting mapofalargepartofthecountry.

Theempirestillexistedthen, anditwasforbiddenforanybodytomakeamapofthecountry.FatherRuttenfound,however,thathiscamelstoodso stillthatbyplacingthesextant onthehumpoftheanimal's back,hecouldtakehisobservationswithoutarousingthe slightestsuspicionanywhere.

Thosewerethedayswhen everythinghadtobepaidfor withshoe-shapedpiecesofsilverthatweighedlikelead,and itrequiredagoodcart-loadof thismoneytomeettheexpenses ofthreediocesesforayear.On oneoccasionFatherRuttenwas askedtoconveythemoneyinland,butwaswarnedbythe governmentofficialsthatbandits renderedtheroadthroughacertainareadangerous.

"Oh,"saidFatherRutten, notgoingtotakethatroad." "Butthereisnoother,"saidthe officials.FatherRuttensawa copyofhisownmaponthewall andpointedoutanotherand perfectlysaferoad."Howdid youknowaboutthatroad?" askedtheofficials.-"Oh,I've beenaroundthiscountryfora longtime,"saidFatherRutten withhisusualquietsmile,

Onthewayhehadtostop overnightatavillageandproceededtoarrangehisbedontop ofthecart.Thevillageswere surprisedandasked:"Whathave youonthecart?""Aloadofsilver,"wasthepromptreply.The villagersthoughtthatwasa wonderfuljokeandwereperfectlycontenttoletthe"crazy" foreignersleeponhiscart.

ItwasFatherRuttenwhoreallystartedthemassconversion movement,whichresultedin makingagreatpartofMongoliaabout16percent.Catholic,andthisachievement,along withhispersonalqualities,led tohiselectionin1920asSuperiorGeneralofhisSociety.

H-BombRightorWrong?

Inthecourseoftheinterveningyears,theA-bombhasbeen thesubjectofmanyhoursofanimateddebateinthehallsof theUnitedNationsAssembly.Shouldthesecretofthe bombbemadekhowntoallthegovernmentsoftheUnited Nations?Shouldtherebeinternationalcontrolofthe bomb?Shouldtheuseofthebombbeoutlawed?

STRINGENTCONDITIONS.

MR.SIDBRIGGS, GeneralManager.

Thechiefquestionoftheaver-mightdisagree,thefollowing age"maninthestreet"herein Americauptoafewmonthsago was:"HavetheygottheA-bomb yet?"AndwhenthePresident announcedthattheydefinitely hadthebombandhadactually experimentedwithit,thequestionbecame:"Whenarethey goingtouseitagainstus?"

NowtheA-bombhasyielded itsplaceofsupremacyinthe categoryofdestructiveinstrumentstotheH-bomb-thesocalledhydrogenbomb,thoughit hasbeentranslatedbysome,not inappropriately,astheHellbomb.

TheannouncementoftheHbombasapotentialinstrument ofwarfareathousandtimes moredestructivethantheAbombhaspromptedthe"manin thestreet"tofurtherquestions: "HavetheygottheH-bomb yet?""Aretheytryingtoget thesecretoftheH-bombfrom us?""ShouldwebeginmanufacturingH-bombssothatwe canbeatthemiftheystarta war?"

The"SaturdayEveningPost" forNovember9,1949,remarked editoriallythat"itisacommentaryonthestateofmoralsthat thiscommentcomes,notfrom `ethicalleaders'butfromnaval officersandamanufacturerof militaryaircraft."

MIGHTORRIGHT.

points,groupedunderfourheadings,representthemorecommonlyacceptedCatholicteachingsregardingthemoralityof warfareandofitsmethods,with particularattentiontotheuse oftheH-bomb:

1.TheMoralityofWar.The CatholicChurchhasalways taughtthatundercertainconditionsitismorallylawfulfora nationtowagewar.GodHimselfsometimescommandedHis chosenpeopletotakeuparms (JosueVI,VIII)andtheChurch itselfapprovedthewarsofthe Crusadesfortherecoveryofthe HolyLand. However,the Churchregardswarasamost deplorableprocedure,permissibleonlyasthelesseroftwo evils.Consequently,theChurch teachesthattherulersofana-

Averysaneopiniononthe moral'rightofanationtoenter warisexpressedbyMsgr. AlfredOttaviani,oftheHoly OfficeinRome.Hebelieves thatonaccountoftheimmense evilswhichthewholeworld wouldsufferinevitablyfrom waratthepresentday,anation isneverjustifiedinentering uponawarofaggression.But, headds,awarofdefencemay, beallowedwhenthereiscertaintyofvictoryandthereare sureindicationsthatthegood whichwillbeprocuredwilloutweightheevilsthatwillcertainlyfollowfromtheconflict. ("InstitutionesJurisPublici,"I., p.153).Itisopportunetonote thatunderthesameconditionsa strongernationwouldbeallowedtowagewarindefenceofa weakernationthatisbeingoppressedorevenliquidatedbya tyrannicalpower. Itstandstoreasonthatboth partiestoanarmedconflictcannotbeobjectivelyright.Only onecanhavejusticeonitsside. However,itispossibleforthe leadersofbothcountriestobe convincedthattheircauseis justandthattheyarelawfully defendingtheirrights.Asfar astheordinarycitizenisconcerned,hemustobeyhiscountry'ssummonstotakeuparms

tionmaynotdeclarewaragainst anothernation suretheyareintheright,and havefirsttriedallpeacefulmeasuresthatmightcontributetowardrightingthewronginflictedbythisothernation.Moreover,theymusthavegoodreasontoforeseethatthebenefits thatwillbeeffectedbytheir victorywillnotbeoutweighed bytheevilconsequencesofthe strife.

Thiscriticismofthe"SaturdayEveningPost"isnotjustified,asfarasCatholictheologiansareconcerned.Hardly hadthefirstA-bombfallenon Hiroshimawhenacondemnationofitsuseinthisparticular caseappearedintheCatholic press.However,thiscondemnationdoesnotnecessarilymean thattheuseofasuperbombis immoralunderallcircumstances.Properdistinctionsmust bemadebeforethemoralityof thismannerofwarfarecanbe correctlyestimated.Andevidentlythemoralaspectofwarfareingeneralandoftheuseof theH-bombinparticularisa factortobeponderedseriously atthepresenttime,notonlyby CatholicsbutalsobythosenonCatholicswhobelievethatthere isaruleofrightandwrongto befollowedbyhumanbeings whichisindependentofconsiderationofexpediencyandhas beenproclaimedbyGodHimself.

Theprinciplesonwhichthe presentstudyisbasedhavebeen taughtintheCatholicChurch forcenturies;buttheirapplicationatthepresenttimeinvolves specialdifficultiesbecauseofthe newtypeofwarfarewhichwe nowface.

MORALCONSIDERATIONS.

Whiletherearecertaindetails onwhichCatholictheologians

EVILENORMOUS, Thislastconditionisespeciallypertinenttoawarwiththe useoftheH-bomb.For,ifwe aretobelievethescientists,even asingleH-bombmaycause deathanddestructionoverthe spaceofahundredsquaremiles. Inviewofthetremendousdamagewhichaconflictwagedwith suchdeadlyweaponswould certainlyinflictonbothwarring powers,itcouldhappenthata government,thoughunjustly treated-byanothergovernment andabletodefenditsrights throughwar,wouldnevertheless notbejustifiedinwagingwar, becausethehavocwhichisforeseenwouldoutweighthebenefitswhichwouldbethefruitof victory.Inthosecircumstancesanationmustbewillingto putupwithinjustice,asalesser oftwoevils,ratherthangoto war.

Becauseofthedestructive powerofmodernweapons,some personsbelievethatallwarfare isimmoralnowadays,sinceevery warwilldomoreharmthan good.WiththeprospectofHbombsinanyfuturewar,those whoargueinthiswayareconfirmedintheirposition.However,thissweepingcondemnationofallwarfaredoesnotseem justifiable,eventhoughthese annihilativeweaponsaretaken intoconsideration.Forthere arecertainspiritualpossesions thatoresopreciousthatanation couldreasonablybewillingto enduregreatlossoflivesandof propertyintheefforttoprotect ortorecoverthembyarmed force-forexample,freedom fromenslavementbyatyrannicalpower,andespeciallyfreedomtoworshipGod.Tosuch asituationthewordsofPope PiusXII.inhisChristmasmessageof1948canbeapplied:"A peoplemenacedby.oralready victimsofunjustaggression,if itdesirestothinkandtoactina Christianmanner,cannotremaininpassiveindifference."

NON-COMS.

3.TheuseoftheH-bomb againstnoncombatants.Itisan acceptedprincipleofCatholic theologythatawarringnation mayneverlaunchadirectattackonthenoncombatantsof theopposingnation.Byadirect attackonnoncombatantsis meantanactofaggressionthat hasforitsonlyimmediate purposethekillingormaiming ofsuchpersons.Thiswouldbe thecaseifabombweredeliberatelydroppedonaresidential portionofacitycontainingno militarytargetsofanynotable value.Suchanattackisforbiddenbydivinelaw,notmerely byinternationallaw.Theargumentthatsuchanattackwould probablybreakdownthemoraleofthecivilianssothatthey wouldforcetheirrulerstosue foranimmediatepeaceandthat consequentlymanyliveswould besparedonbothsidesprovides nojustificationforsuchadirect attackonnoncombatants,for thisargumentisbasedonthe falseprinciplethatagoodend justifiestheuseofanevil means.

Thebasicreasonfortheintrinsicsinfulnessofadirect lethalattackonnoncombatants is:AccordingtothelawofGod, apersonmayneverdirectlykill aninnocenthumanbeingunless heisauthorizedtodothisby GodHimself.TheAlmighty mightgive.suchanauthorisationbyaspecialinspiration,as happenedintheOldTestament whenHecommandedthepeople ofIsraeltokilleventhewomen andchildrenofaconqueredna_ tion(DeuteronomyIII;Josue X).Butsuchanauthorization hasneverbeengiven,asfaras weknow,toanypersonunder theChristianDispensation- certainlynottoanycivilleader.

INNOCENTBYSTANDERS.

4.Indirectharmtononcombatants.Itfrequentlyhappens thatwhenadirectattackis made-onamilitarytarget,some noncombatants,whohappento beinthevicinity,arekilledor injured.Accordingtowhatis knowninCatholictheologyas theprincipleofthedoubleeffect,thiswouldsometimesbe permitted-namely,whenthe immediategoodeffect,themilitarygain,issufficientlyimportanttojustifytheattackersin permittingthebadeffect,the harmdonetothenoncombatants.Ofcourse,itisverydifficulttoevaluatemilitaryvicto_ riesintermsofthenumberof innocentpersonskilledor maimedasanindirectconsequenceofalawfulattackona militaryobjective. Sincewearedealingspecifi-callywithaweaponthatcould spreaddeathanddestruction

VITALDISTINCTION.

Itisvitallyimportanttonote thedifferencebetweenthecase presentedinthefirstparagraph underNo.3andthecasewe havejustconsidered.Inthe formerinstancetherewasques- tionofadirectattackonnon combatants,whichisneverallowed.Inthepresentinstance weareconcernedwithanattackwhichisdirectlylaunched onalawfulmilitarytargetand onlyindirectlyharmsthenoncombatants,andwhichisthereforepermissiblewhenthere isajustifyingproportionbe-tweenthegoodandevileffects.

MaytheH-bombbeused lawfullyinthevicinityof largecityiftheciviliansare warnedofthecomingattack? Yes,ifthesepersonsaregiven sufficientopportunitytoleave thecityandtofindadequate shelterelsewhere.Butthe warningwouldhavetoname thecity-orafewcities-likely tosustaintheattack.Itwoul notsufficetogiveagenera warning,suchas:"Wearegoing tousetheH-bombonsomeo yourcitiesafteraweek."Ho couldthemillionsofcitydwellersinagreatmoderncountry vacatetheirhomesinthecourse ofafewdaysandfindshelter andsustenanceintheruraldis tricts?
