Allareaffectedandallare indanger.

EFFECTS

Thethreemaineffects are:

(a)Moraleffects.

(b)Intellectualeffects.

(c)Economiceffects.

(a)Moral:Inthemoral order,suchreadinghasproducedtheattitudethatsexpleasureisthedominant purposeoflife,withaconsequencelossofinter-sex respectandvalue.With suchaconcepttherange andfrequencyofimmorality incompany-keepingissubject-asisevident-toseriousincrease,whilesound ideasregardingthenature andpurposeofmarriageare sabotaged,andthepossibilityofreducingdivorcefigures,ofhavinghappyand fruitfulmarriages,and healthyfamilylifeisseriouslyendangered.

Anotherseriousmoral challengerevealedinthese publicationsarisesfromover emphasisoncrime, especiallycrimesofviolence, andtheportrayalofmatters ofhorrorandgrosscruelty.

Regardingcrime,itis feltthatitsglorificationhas led,orisleading,tothe evolutionofanattitudeof defianceanddisobedience toauthority,whoselogical terminationisanarchy,and thedestructionofthefabric ofcivilisedcommunitylife.

Underitsinfluence,the lawsofcitizenship,inboth theirmoralandcivilreference,areliabletobedisregardedbyageneration whosemindsandideals havebeensaturatedby crimeliterature. Ithasbeenfoundthatthe mostprominentreactions frompublicationsdealing withmattersofhorrorand crueltyhasbeenthesuccessfuldevelopmentofasadisticoutlookonlife,reviving theun-Christianphilosophy that"theweakestmustgo tothewall."

Ingeneral,allthesepublicationscontainfroma moralviewpoint,adynamic potentialofevil,andare chargedwithpowertoendanger,inaseriousway, theeternalsalvationofallespeciallyyouth-whoread themregularly.

(b)IntellectualEffects:

LEGALAPPROACH. Thelegalapproachmeans thateffortsbemadetoso changethepresentjurisdictionoftherelevantAct

Thisproposedchangeespeciallyrequiresthatthe term"obsceneliterature" receiveawiderandmore comprehensivedefinition.To achievesuchlegislation,the co-operationofParliament isrequired.Itissincerelyhopedthatmembersof Parliamentwillseeanddo theirdutyinthismatter, whichtranscendsparty politicsandhasreference onlytothecommong000

However,sincethewage systemistheeconomic andsocialrealityofthe time,"itisvitalthatthat systemshouldbejustin practiceandinfusedwith Christianprinciples.'"

TheStatementdoesnot holdthattheexistingwage systemisthefairestor mostefficientmethodofremuneration,andproposes asystemofFamilyIncomeinitsplace.

Reviewingwagestrends overthepastdecade,the Statementconcludesthat, whiletheywereincreases inthenominalwage,the riseintherealwagewas smallerbyfarthanstatisticssuggest.

Attentionis,however, drawntogainsinworking conditions-the40-hour week,asubstantialincreaseintheBasicWage andpenaltyrates,amarginsrisein1948,andtwo increasesinChildEndowment.Realwagesrose by20percent.inthedecade.

AnomaliesAppear

TheStatementfurther claimsthatthescaleofincomeinrecentyearshas beenloadedincreasingly againsttheworkerwith familyresponsibilities.Examplesofthistrendare citedinthecasesofyoung peoplewho,uponleaving school,arepaidwagesout ofproportiontotheincome ofworkerswithfamilies.It ismanifest,itsays,that thosewhohavenodependantsshouldnotexceedtheir properrequirements.

Again,despitethefallin moneyvalues,therehas beennocommensurateincreaseinChildEndowment.

ImpossibleBelief

OurdutyasChristiansis "tocontendearnestlyfor thefaithoncedeliveredto thesaints."(Jude,3).That is,tomaintainintact,withoutalterationsoradditions, thedoctrinestaughttothe firstChristiansbytheApostles.

TheMormonideathat Christgaveonlyapartial teaching,tobecompletedby JosephSmith,isimpossible foronewhobelievesinthe NewTestamentandwants todeservethenameof Christian.

OneoftheJestthings JosephSmithdidbeforehe wasmurderedin1844was towriteanarticlefora "HistoryoftheReligious DenominationsintheUnitedStates,"explainingthe faithoftheMormonChurch. Hisdeclarationisasfollows:

Webelievethataman mustbecalledofGod by"prophecyandlayingonofhands"by thosewhoareinauthority,topreachthegospelandadministerthe ordinancesthereof.

Ofthepolygamyhehad alreadyproclaimednecessaryhemakesnomention forthepurposeofpublicityinthe"HistoryoftheReligiousDenominationsin theUnitedStates."

Sir.-Mr.TomGilhooley seemsprettysurethata Catholicpartyhasn'tBuckley'schanceofachieving success.Hemayberight 'inholdingthatview,going ontheperformanceofmost ofourpoliticians.

IfsomeofthesegentlemenwerevotedtoParliamentasCatholicparty men,theywouldhavetoact abitmorelikeCatholics, andthatwouldmeanputting asidemanypersonalinterests.

Sir,-Iamwritingyouin supportofthecorrespondentswhoare(asIam) anxioustoseethedaythat AustraliawillhaveitsCatholicpartyor(ifyoulike) ChristianDemocraticParty.

Iwillgoastepfurther than"InterestedOnlooker" byannouncingthatmy housewillbeopentoanybodywhoisreallyinterestedtofoundsuchaparty, basedontrueChristianprinciplesandpreparedtoput Christfirstineverythingit doesforthewelfareofAustralia.

AlthoughIhavestilla yeartogobeforeIcancall myselfanAustralian,and beforeIwillbeboundto castmyvoteinfavourof oneofthefewunattractive partiesinAustralia'spoliticalorder,Ifeelnowalreadythatavoteinfavour ofanyofthesepartieswill weighuponmyconscience asbeinginsupportofthe non-Christianprinciplesby which"theAustraliaoftoday"isgoverned.

Iwonderifanyofthe Australianpartiescansay thatitisbasedonthese principles,evenwithout addingthelastfivewords.

AsIseeit,nothingwill bedoneinrelationtoreal freedomandrealjusticeunlesspoliticsarebasedon theaboveprinciples,which areGod's.Andinpracticenothingwillbedone aboutthepositionofprivateschools,subsidiesfor ministersofreligion,pornographicliterature,divorce laws,marriageprocedures, ordecentelectioncampaigns,tomentiononlya fewthingswhichneedrevisioninAustraliato-day.

Ifso,thisshouldsurely dispenseingreatpartwith thesectarianissueas broughtforwardbyMr. Gilhooley.

Iamnota"New"Australian,andIamfairlyconversantwiththe"history andstatusofourpolitical groups,"andIamstillof theopinionthataChristian DemocraticPartywouldreceivemoresupportthan somepeopleimagine.

OneperceivesthatMr. GilhooleyfearsthewithdrawaloftheCatholicvote fromtheLabourPartyin favouroftheChristianDemocraticParty.Oneappreciateshisfearsand thinkstheycouldbenotunfounded.Butwhydoeshe saysthattheC.D.P.would be"almostidentical"with theLabourParty?

foreignpolicy,aidtodenominationalschools,is muchthesameasthepolicyoftheLiberalParty-masterlyinactivity.

ThePopecondemnsthe WelfareState.Therefore theChristianD.Partyseeks therecipeforsocialjustice withintheencyclicalsofthe latestPopes,whichdocumentslaydown,perfectly clearly,whatisbestfor Christiannationsinthe wayofdomesticpolicy.

FollowedfaithfullybyardentloversofChrist,these principlescouldsetthe sceneforaneraofpeace betweennations-anendso longedforbyusall.

TosaythattheChristian DemocraticPartyis"almostidentical"withthe LabourPartyisastrueas tosaythatitis"almost identical"withtheLiberal Party.

Vargas'TragicEndWillNot AffectCatholicismInBrazil

RIODEJANEIRO,Brazil,Aug.24 INC.)-ThetragicdeathofPresident GetulioVargasofBrazilandtheresulting changeinadministrationisnotexpectedto affectfundamentallytheinterestsofthe ChurchinBrazil.

Vargaswaspresumablya baptizedCatholicand showedhimselffavourably disposedtotheChurch throughouthspolitical career.Buthewasknown nottobeapractisingCatholic,andintellectuallya freethinker.

ItwasduringhisadministrationsthattheChurch gainedmanyoftherights sheenjoystoday.Vargas ruledthecountryfrom1930 to1945andagainfrom1951 untilhissuicidaldeath.

In1931,Vargasapproved alawpermittingreligious instructioninthepublic schools.TheConstitutionof 1934-amendedin1936and againin1946-confirmed thisrightofreligiousinstructioninschoolsandalso providedforchaplainsin thearmy,hospitalsandprisons.Italsoestablishedas abasicprincipletheindissolubilityofmarriage.

However,itwasthe1946 amendmentstotheConstitution,enactedunderthe administrationofGeneral EuricoGasparDutra,which bestsatisfieldtheaspirationsofCatholicsonfundamentalpoints.Itofficially recognizedGod,andthe rightsoftheChurchand parentsregardingmarriage, education,labour,trade unionsandpoliticalactivity.

InAprilofthisyearthe BishopsofBrazilfeltconstrainedtoprotestagainsta proposedlawwhichthreatenedtheChurch'srightsto counselthefaithfuloncivic

matters.Since1933the Bishopshavemaintainedthe CatholicElectoralLeague designedtocombatabsenteeismatthepollsandto counselCatholicsontheir righttovoteanddutyto voteforcandidateswho willsafeguardChristian principles.

InAugust1951thepresidentpersonallygavethe closingaddressattheFourth Inter-AmericanCongresson CatholicEducation.Ina forthrightattackonagnosticism,hedeclared: "Educationismorethan instruction.Mainlyitisthe formationofcharacterin Christianvirtuesanddisciplineforthegreaterhappinessoftheindividual,the well-beingofthecountry andthegloryofGod."
