CHICAGO(NC.)-Those whothinkthereissome peacefulwayoflivingwith thecommunistsharboura "naivebelief,"saidCharles Rozmarek,presidentofthe PolishAmericanCongress Inc.,hereinastatementon theanniversaryofRussia's attackonPoland.

"Evenshoweringonthem 11billiondollarsworthof Americanlend-leaseand savingthemfromNazidestructioncouldn'tbribethem tobepeaceful,"Mr.Rozmarekdeclared.

"TheSovietsdon'twant peacefulco-existence,"he said."Thisisconfirmedby Leninhimselfwhosaid:'The existenceoftheSovietRe-

DidChristRebukeHis MotherAtCanaFeast?

"Rose",Colliewrites:"WhydidOur LordsnubhisMotheratthemarriagefeast inCana,whenhesaid'Woman,whatisit tomeandtothee?'"

Butwhataboutthewords themselves:"Woman,what isittomeandtothee?" TheysoundsharpinEnglish butnotsointheAramaic inwhichtheywerespoken. InboththeSemiticand Greeklanguages"woman," asatermofaddress,has nothingofdisrespect.The Greektragediesthusaddressedqueensandprincesses,andCaesarAugustus usedthetitlewhenspeakingtoCleopatra.

NoHarshness

OurLordusedthesame titlewhenaddressingthe womanatthewell,and whenHeappearedtoMary MagdalenonthemorningHerosefromthe dead.NodoubtHeusedmore intimatetermswhenspeakingtoHismotherinthe privacyoftheirhomeat Nazareth,buthereinpublicHeemploysthemore solemntitleasHelaterdid when,dyingontheCross, Hecommendedhismother tothecareofSt.Johnthe belovedapostle.
