FatherCunningham,chaplainofHighgateY.C.W., wasaddressingmorethan 150membersoftheY.C.W. andN.C.G.M.atVictoria Park,inthefirstcombined conferencefor1954.(Picturedabove.)

Themeoftheconference was"ModernYouthand Friendship."

Sincetherewasusually noimmediatehopeofmarriage,therewereoften doubtsaboutwhetherthe friendshipshouldbecarried linandwithwhatpurpose inmind,andevenwhether thefriendshipwaswholesomeinitself,hesaid.

Thedoubtshouldnever exist,hesaid,ratherthe friendshipshouldbelooked uponasacontinuallyenrichingexperiencefroma characterformationpointof view;ifithadtobeterminatedforanyreason,then bothpartiescoulddosoreluctantly,butassuredthey werethebetterforhaving knowneachothersowell.

GenuineAgreement

Al] friendshipswereeithermorallyhelpfulor harmful,andtobehelpful theyhadtobebasedon genuineagreement-areal considerationthatoneself mightnotbepleasingto othersandthataspiritof self-sacrificemightbeneeded.

Afriendshipregarded inthatlighthelpedtodevelopthepersonalityof bothparties,hesaid.

FatherCunninghamsuggestedthatthewholemattercouldbesummedup underthevirtueofcharity, buthewarnedagainstmakingparticularapplications ofthevirtuewhichwere 'oftenfalseandnauseating ratherthanstimulating.

Charityincludedapre- parednesstodoforothers whatwewoulddoourselves,hesaid.

Tobeseekingfriends andtobehelpingthemto bethe"saints-in-formation" thattheyshouldbetrying tobewasanapostolicwork, hesaid.

IsOpen,Clear-Cut RedRebellion

Intheissueof"TheAnglican,"whichchallenged statementsmadeinour leadingarticleontheinfluenceofCommunistsindelayingthePacificpeacein Russia'sinterest,waspublishedasub-leadingarticle bywayofcommentonthe matter.

Thatarticletooktotask Mr.C.W.Wentworth, M.P.,"apractisingAnglicanlayman,"formentioning inCanberrathatBishop Burgmann,AnglicanBishop ofCanberraandGoulburn, hadbeenconnectedwiththe AustralianRussiansociety.

"TheAnglican"described suchareferenceas"McCarthysmeartechnique."

Nowthatisverycurious, becauseBishopBurgmann hasalongbackgroundof pro-Soviet,pro-Communist sympathy.WhatMr.Wentworthobjectedtointhe HouseofRepresentativeson April8wasaletterpublishedinthe"Canberra Times"andtheMelbourne "Age"ofthatdatetowhich BishopBurgmannwasone ofthesignatories.

WhatAreMotives?

Theletter,signedaswell byProfessorsC.P.Fitzgerald(FarEasternHistory), ManningClark(History), andDavidson,oftheAustralianNationalUniversity, wasconcernedtodenythat theVietminhrevolutionary movementinIndo-China wasCommunist,although ithadneverbeensodescribedbyMr.R.G.Caseyand Dr.Evatt.

Now,whenmenofeducationandresponsiblepositionundertaketomisrepresentanissueofsuchgravity,itisnotonlyreasonable butimperativetoinquire whattheirmotivesmaybe.

Firstly,astothefactsof thesituation,itmustberecognisedthattheVietminh "revolutionarymovementis exclusivelythecreationof HoChiMinh,whofounded itin1941.In1923HoChi MinhwenttoRussia,where hestudiedattheFarEasternToilers'University. Afterindoctrination,hebecametheassociateofthe RussianBorodin,whowas organisingtheChineseCommunistparty.

AreTheProfessors,With BishopBurgmann,Honest?

Manyothershavebeen largelytrainedandequippedinCommunistChina. Theyaresuppliedwithartilleryandammunition throughtheSoviet-Chinese Communistbloc.

WhentheVietminhwas setupin1941,itincludeda sprinklingofnon-Communists,foritisMarxistpolicy tolendafacadeofrespectabilitytoitsmachinationsin theirformativestages.They haveusednationalisticantiFrenchsloganstowin'local support.

Furthermore,theclaim ofCommunistsympathisers thatthemovementisprimarilynationalistic,isbased onthefalseassumptionthat Vietnam,LaosandCambodiaaremerelyFrenchdependencies.Inpointof fact,theyhavebeenexercisingprogressivepolitical independencewithinthe FrenchUnion.Eachof thethreeStatesisrecognisedbymorethan30nations.

Hence,intrueperspective,thewarinIndo-China isanaggressionprepared byRussian-trainedagents andsupportedbyChinese techniciansandSovietarms. TheRedplottershavedone everythingshortofopen invasion.

Nowthesefactsarenot secret.Iftheyareopen tome,theyarecertainly availabletotheexperton Asianaffairs,Professor Fitzgeeald,totheotherprofessors,andtoBishopBurgmann.Whythenhave theyembarkedonthiscampaignofdistortionregardingIndo-ChinaandofCommunistadvocacyregarding theseatingofRedChinain U.N.O.?

Itwasbroughtfirstinthe formofanexpedition againstCadiz,in1702.I cannotfindawordofdisapprovalintheworksof anyofourBritishhistorians againsttheunscrupuilous actionofOrmonde,theleader;onlywordsofpraise forthemannerinwhichhe interceptedatVigoBayand plunderedtheSpanishgalleonsfromAmerica,laden withtreasure,afterfailing intheoriginalpurpose-the seizureofCadiz, AsatCadiz,soalsoat BarcelonaanEnglishfleet underAdmiralRooke,aided byaforceofGermansol-

Inactualmorality,the retentionofGibraltarisas unjustifiableastheBritish attempttosnatchfromthe DutchtheCapeofGood Hope,in1871,ortheseizureofSpanishJamaica,in 1855,inatimeofpeace. Yet,theimpressionisbeing giventhatthegrip,torturingnowforover200years theveryfeetofthePeninsula,isnottobeloosened yet. Thisisanodiousanomaly notonlybecauseSirWinstonChurchillseemsto forgethiswar-cryslogan-"thedefenceoftherights oftheweakernations," whileinsistinginthiscase ontheprinciplethat'might isright',butmoresobecauseQueenElizabeth,the Catholic,ofCastille,the firstlegitimateQueenof Gibraltar,issucceededby anotherElizabeth,noble andbeautiful,yetwithno title,apparentorpresumptive,tothecrownofSpain

FromthefirsttothelatterElizabeththerehave elapsed450years,andthe periodisopenedandclosed withthefigureofawoman.

Britain'sjuridicaltitle totheRockmayarisefrom theTreatyofUtrechtwhich Spainandsympathising rationsconsidernulland valuelessbecauseofits notoriousinitialvices:-

TestingTheirPower

Hecalledattentionto consecratedsouls"innota fewnations"who"suffer severeandterriblepersecutions,"andexpressedthe hopethattheywillbeable torememberandbeinspired bythethoughtofthose virginsoftheearlyChurch whosufferedmartyrdom fortheirvirginity.

ThePopereferredagain toSt.Paul'sfirstepistleto theCorinthians(7,5)to showthattheApostleheld uptomarriedpeopletemporaryconjugalabstinence assomethinghigherthan theuseofthemarriage right.St.Paul'sepist.e reads:"Donotdepriveeach other,exceptperhapsby consentforatime,thatyou maygiveyourselvesto prayer;andreturnagaiii togetherlestSatantempt youbecauseyoulackselfcontrol."

Norcanitbesaid,the Popedeclared,thatmarriagefulfillshumanpersonalitybetterthanvirginity. Whatthemarriedgainin theirwayoflife,hestated, celibatesgainevermore abundantlyfromGod's grace.

"Whobetterthanvirgins," heasked,"canapplyto themselvesthewonderful expressionofSt.Paulthe Apostle:'Itisnownolonger Ithatlive,butChristlives inme.AndthelifethatI nowliveintheflesh,Ilive inthefaithoftheSonof Godwholovedmeand gaveHimselfupforme'?"

"Thisisthereason,"the Pontiffwenton,"whythe Churchwiselyholdsthat celibacyinthepriesthood mustbemaintained,because Shewellknowswhata springofspiritualgracesit isforanevermoreintimateunionwithGod."
