Itmustalsobenotedthatwhilethemenwho backedBertrandRussell'sadmonition,describedby Dr.EvattasavoicefromthegraveofEinstein,were eminentintheirdepartmentsofscience,therating ofsomeofthemaspersonsofmoralresponsibility wasnotenhancedbytheirprofessedagnosticism.

Mostremarkableofall, hisparty,madeupofboth ProtestantsandCatholics, backshimtothehilt.

TheChristianDemocratic Union(calledChristian SocialUnioninBavaria) wasestablishedinBerlin

Dr.Adenauerhasalways succeededinmaintaining impartiality.Eventhougha devoutCatholicwhonever hideshisdeepCatholicconvictions,heenjoystherespectandconfidenceofthe Protestantmembersofhis party,whoknowbyexperiencethatthepartyleader willalwaysthinkinterms ofChristiansolidarity.

Dr.Adenauer'sCabinetis madeupofmembersoffour theparties,tenrepresenting ChristianDemocratic Union,fourofthemProtestant.Dr.TheodorHeuss, PresidentoftheFederalRepublicofGermany,islikewiseaProtestant.

Neverhasanyproblem arisenamongthemon accountoftheirfaith.They allfeelthattheirfaithsare themainspringfromwhich stemstheirjointeffortto servetheircountrytothe bestoftheirability.

Thissenseofjoint nationalresponsibilityis alsoreflectedinthefact thatthevariousprovincial groupsoftheChristian DemocraticUnionrepresent variousshadesofreligious conviction,yettheyallcooperateforthecommon good.

InthiscrisisCatholicsare notmerelytryingtoprevent the tinggovernmentfromcutStatesubsidiesto Catholicschools.

Theimportantthingisthe factthatthegovernmentis tryingtoestablishthesupremacyofthepublicschool overtheCatholicschool.

TheGovernmentistrying toinfluenceparentsby grantingallsortsofadvantagestothosesendingtheir childrentopublicschools.

Educationinpublic schoolsisfree,forexample, andthediplomasgivenby thepublicschoolshave greatervalueinsecuring government employment thandiplomasfromCatholicschools.

Inthisway,bydenying trueequalitybetweenthe

Theefforttomakethe publicschoolssupremeis, moreover,contrarytothe BelgianConstitution.The foundingfathersof1830 (theyeartheConstitution wasdrawnup)attached particularimportanceto barringtheroadtoaState monopolyofeducation,for theyhadhadexperience withsuchamonopolyunder Dutchrule.

In1879,forinstance,a Leftistgovernmentformed byLiberalstriedtoimpose anti-clericalschoollegislationonthecountry.The LiberalPartywasbeatenin the1884electionsandhas neverrecoveredfromthe blowitreceivedatthat time.
