OnlyasafreeEuropeunitedlymarshalsitsstrength, 4 declaredthePresidentinhisinauguraladdress,can iteffectivelysafeguard,evenwithAmericanhelp,its spiritualandculturalheritage.Atthetnoment, thesituationinWesternEuropeisfarfromencouraging;conditionsnotonlyhaveshownlittleimprovementduringthepastyear,butinsomerespects haveactuallydeteriorated.Inparticularlybad shapeistheEuropeanarmyprogrammetowhich PresidentEisenhowergavestrongsupport,but whichmayhavetoheabandonedbecauseofstiffeningresistancebytheFrenchSocialistandDeGaullistgroups,andthegeneralreactiontothereputed NaziresurgenceinWestGermany.AnotherdiscouragingfactoftheEuropeansituationisthatnearlyallthecountriesoftheNorthAmin-ticTreatyOrganisationarecomplainingthattheycannotcontinuetheirdefenceeffortswithoutmoreU.S.help. ThereisevenafeelinginsomeplacesthattheCommunistmenaceisoverratedintheUnitedStates. NorwayandDenmarkarebaulkingatgranting NATObases,apparentlybecauseofrecentMoscow protests.

Itwasalsoagreattribute tothedemocraticnatureof Parliamentandofthepatientwayinwhichitsmemberswilllendaneartoany privatecausewhatevertheir ownviewsonthesubject thattheylistenedtothis pleaofjusticeforCatholic schoolswithwarmsympathy.Andhavinglistened, theycarriedthemessageto thedebatingfloorofthe HouseofCommonsandto theprivateearoftheMinisterinchargeoftheEducationBill.

fitshion-value wafflepique

Inconsequence,during thedebateonthe1944EducationAct,practicallyevery memberofParliamentwho spokeindebateespoused thecauseofthebestpossibledealundertheprovisionsoftheBillforCatholicschools.TheBillbeforeitbecameanActwas inconsequenceamendedin severalimportantdetails. Themostimportantofthese wastheintroductionofits Section72,whichsays:

"Thatsofarasiscompatiblewithefficiencyandeconomyineducationadministration,childrenshallbe educatedhiaccordancewith thewishesoftheirparents."

Theimportanceofthis clausewasthatitgavean absoluterightinlawfor thesettingupandconductingofnon-Government schoolswhichcouldbe maintainedbyfinanceprovidedbytheGovernment. Thisrightwasnotsomethingwhichaministerof Parliamentcouldgrantor withholdashedeemedfit.

Itwasanabsoluteright residingwiththeparent,the so-called"primacy"ofthe parentovertheeducationof hischildren.

Itwasfittingthatthis "parents'rights"clausewas proposedbyagreatchampionofCatholicschools, LordJohnRussell,ofKillowen.LordRussellhad beenfightingthecauseof CatholicschoolsinEngland fornearly50years-foras longbackas1906hisname wasrecordedasaprincipal speakeratthegreatAlbert hallmeetingunderCardinal Bourne,whicheffectively stirredupParliamentaryactiontodefeataBillwhich, ifithadpassedintolaw, wouldhavethrownEnglish Catholicschoolsintothe sameplightasourWest Australian1895Actdidour Catholicschoolsinthe West.
