AccordingtocablednewsfromHongkong, the'WestAustralian,"ofMarch19,reportedthe arrestinCantonoffiveCanadiannunsoncharges ofcrueltyandnegligencetowardsorphans.We givebelowthe"build-up"ofpresspublicityusual beforesuchCommunistmocktrials,togetherwith therefutationofthecharges:

SINGAPORE,March9.HongKongandCantoncommunistnewspapersreceived herechargetheCanadianSistersoftheCongregationofthe ImmaculateConceptionwith neglectandexploitationofthe childrenoftheSacredInfant orphanageinCanton.

TheCanton"Nan-fang"Daily followedupreporters'disclosures"ofalleged"insanitary conditions"attheinstitutewith "lettersfromthereaders"demandinganinvestigationof these"imperialistcrimes,"indicatingthatthecommunist formulahasnotchangedinany detail.The"outcryofpublic indignation,"itisassumed,will beansweredbygovernment actionontheSisters,possibly expulsionfromChina.

Thenewspaperreporters chargedthat94per-centofthe childrenadmittedtotheorphanagehaddied,andalleged thatthe"bestyearsofthe children'slivesareruinedand theirlabourexploited"amid indescribablyinsanitaryconditions.Thenewsmenconcluded editorially:"Thisorphanage, openedin1933withmoney frominternationalCatholic

organizationsandtheConigregallonoftheImmaculateConception,symbolisesthehypocriticalmaskoftheimperialistsin theirconsistentplotofwaging aggressionunderthepretextof charitableworks...Letusdeliverournextgenerationfrom thehandsofthoseswindlers whohavecharitablefacesand snakelikehearts."

Actually,theorphanagewas thoroughlyinvestigatedbyforeigndoctorsandnurseswhen UNRRAaidwasbeingdistributedthroughoutChinafollowingthelastwarandwonunanimouscommendationforits cleanlinessandefficiency.Each childwassuppliedwithitsown bedandmosquitonet,andinfantstheirowncribs.The kitchenisspotlessandimmaculate,asthesereportsbearwitness.Thecompoundis'supplied withtwofresh-waterwells,and withelectricity.

A.:Nodoubtyoumeanby telepathy,"theabilityofone mindtoimpressortobeimpressedbyanothermindotherwisethanthroughthechannels ofsense."Ifbyyourquestion youarelookingforanofficial utteranceoftheChurchonthe matter,thentheansweris,no. Forinspiteofthepopular appealoftelepathy,theexperiencespeoplewillrelateat length,andtheboostgivenit bythepressandstage,thefact remainsthatlittleisknown aboutit.Thereisaratherwide literatureonthesubject,many andvariedexperimentshave beenmadeandwithrather startlingresults,butstillthe thingremainsmoreorlessa mystery.Thereisnodoubt,I think,ofthefact,butitsorigins areobscure.Sometherearewho putitdowntotheinfluenceof goodandevilspirits,butthere isnotsufficientevidenceofthis toexcludethepossibilityofa purelyscientificexplanation.

BelieverDefendsFranco's'Militarism', SeesOldSystemsOutmodedforSpain

TotheEditor,

Sir,-Itisinterestingtonote thereactionamongstyour readerstothecomingvisitof SenorMadariagatoAustralia. Forsure,itisnotgoingtobe anepoch-makingtoureither forhim,orfortheCommonwealth.Stillthecontroversyarousedbykeenlistenersmaywellbedestinedto domuchgood.Itshould,at least,warnCatholicsnotto listentovisitinglecturers withoutsomereservation.

Thewarmenthusiasmof "CapriccioEspagnol"hasquickenedthecold,studiedreasoning ofMr.Gollop.Asusualinsuch casesthereismuchtobesaid bothways,ifthatmuchwas worthsaying.Nooneknows betterthantheSpanishCaudillothat"thereisnogreater betrayalinthepoliticalorder thanthelie"(Franco).He standsunflinchinglyforthe truth,andisnotafraidof whatSenorMadariagaorany oneelsehastosayabouthim. Inademocraticcountrythe Senorwillbeallowed,naturally enough,tospeakthetruthor thelie,accordingtohisloveof one,andsubmissiontothe other:Itisthenlefttotheinterestedlistenerstobeontheir guardagainstpersonalresentments,againstmisguidedlearning.

Itappears,inthisrespect, that"CapriccioEspagnol"in hissimplicityandearnestness, ismoreanxioustoseethelight andtoenjoyitspossession,than thebetterinformed,andmore widelyreadMr.Gollop.

ThemilitarismoftheSpanish "dictator"isoffensivetothe peacefulfeelingsofMr.Gollop justwhentheUNOhasagreed tobreakthepoliticalanddemocraticencirclementtowhich Spainhasbeensounjustly subjectedsince1946,andthis ontheconvictionthatSpain doesnotconstituteadangerto worldpeace.Theeconomic consequencesofthisencirclement,atatimewheneveryone

inneed,friendorfoe(Spain alwaysexcepted),waslavished profuselywiththeglamourand helpofthemightydollar,have notbeenfeltbydemocratic MadariagaorbyMr.Gollop.

ItseemsthatMr.Gollop cannotconceiveanyothertype ofmilitarismthantheonethat carrieswithinitselftheferment ofitsdissolution.Wehavewitnessedinourdaystoomany lamentableexhibitionsofmilitarismofthistype.Butsurely Mr.Gollopbelievesina"Lord ofHosts."Fortunatelythere havealwaysbeeninthehistoryofcivilisationarmies alwaysreadytofightHisbattles,andtocarrythemoutonto thelastdropoftheirblood.

TheSpanishCaudilloisunder noillusion.ThoughhisrecognitionbytheUNOhasbeena majorvictoryforSpain,the Spaniardisnotasimplemindedrationalbeingnora fool.Heknowsthatatpresent "Fearguardsthevineyard",and thatSpainisneeded.

SenorMadariagahascertainlyalltherightintheworld tospeakaboutFranco'sregime,andtocriticizeitinaliberalway(theSpaniardsthem- selvesdoitfreelyintheirown nation),but,ifheiswise,he shouldremembertheadviceof agreatEnglishman,whoatno timethoughtitalosstowrite andthinkas"we,Europeans." Chestertonremindsusthatto understandhistorywemust dulyunlearnallhistory.Itis thecaseofaskingoneselfnot whattheworldhasbeen,but whatitwouldhavebeen...if theapplehadnotbeeneaten. Afterallthewholehistoryof mankind,asweknowit,isbut thelongstoryoftheapple.

AsforFrancohehasspoken openlyonthematter:

"OurMovementwasbornon the18thofJulyfourteenyears ago,anditwasbornofthe bloodofourmartyrs...Justas wehavebeentheforerunners intheanti-Communistmovementtheworldfeelstoday,so

wehavealsobeeninthepolitico-socialmovement For fourteenyearswehavebeen proclaimingtotheworldthat wewerelivinginasocialage, forwhichtheoldsystemswere ofnouse.Forfourteenyears wehavebeenmakingachievementsinthesocialorder,based onourowntraditions,andinspiredbythesupremacyofthe spiritual.

Inthisrespecttheworldis movingveryfast,fasterthan peoplethink.Neitherdefeatnor victoryproducesmucheffect uponideas:theseedstillremainsintheearth,andjustas todayweseeAsiaticpeoples risinginarevolutionsprung fromtheJapaneseseednow germinating,sotheseedinthe socialorderspreadsandis broadcaitoverthecountriesof the'world,andwillmakeits way,whetherpeople.likeitor not.Alasforthosewhohave notprovedcapableofopening thechannelintimetosavecivilization,fortheywillperishin thedarkwatersoftheSoviet revolution!"
