WhatOfHolden's HugeProfits?

TheannouncementbyGeneralMotorsHoldenofarecordprofitofnearly £10,000,000,thelargesteverrecordedbya businessenterpriseinAustralia,occasioned thefollowingeditorialinthe"SydneyMorningHerald"(August2).

Exactlytodefineajust pricefortheHoldencarand areasonableprofitmargin foritsmanufacturerwould nodoubtbequestionsfora medievalschoolman,though manypeopleinthestreet willalsoformtheir opinions.

Whatcannotbequestionedisthattheunprecedentedfinancialresultsandpolicy ofGeneralMotors-Holden's Ltd.arebeginningtoraise seriousdifficultiesforAustralia'sdollarsolvency.

Alreadythecompanyhas withdrawn,bywayofdividends,considerablymore dollarsthanithastransmittedtoAustraliabyloan andcapitalsubscription sincethewar.

Thisyear'spaymentofa 10,000,000-dollardividend totheAmericanparentis extremelyonerousfora nationwhosetotalyearly exportstoU.S.A.areabout 100milliondollarsandare insufficienttomeetitsbasic importingneedsevenwhen supplementedbyborrowingsfromtheWorldBamt.

DividendRate

Butinaddition,G.M.-H. hasvirtuallygivennotice that,intermsofitsprogrammeandphilosophy,the recurringannualchargefor dividendswillbecome greater.

Itproposestodevotemore than£20millionofthe ploughed-backprofitstobe earnedwithinAustraliain thenextthreeorfouryears, foranexpansionofits vehicleoutputby55per cent.

Thiswoulddoublethe amountofshareholderfunds

(capitalandreserves);and thecompanyarguesthatit isshareholderfunds,not capital,uponwhichearning anddividendratesshould bebased.

Ofcourse,thisisanextremelydubiousclaimwhen therateofprofitaccumulationissorapid;butthe practicalpointisthatthe dividendobligations,with apossibleincreaseinthe currencyneededtoimport the"dollarcontent"ofmore Holdens,couldwellbeintolerable.

Disproportionate

Aheavierrecurring chargewouldhavebeen thrustuponAustraliawithoutanycorrespondinginvestmentofdollarcapital byGeneralMotorsCorporation. Whatmakestheposition acutelyembarrassingisthat Australiahasrecently girdeditselftoentera double-taxagreementwith theU.S.A.withtheobject ofattractingcapital.

Theimplicitundertaking toallowbiggerdollardividendtransmissionsinfuture wasoffsetbyaquidproquo inthesecases.

Butitwouldtaketen capitalinvestmentprojects ofthekindrecentlyannouncedbytheAtlasCorporationofU.S.A.toequal therecurringcostofthe newHoldendividend.

Whatevermaybethought aboutcarpricesandprofits, thisdividenddemandisdisproportionate.Amore reasonablepolicybyG.M.H.itselfwouldeliminate theneedtoconsidercounter-measures.

"Hostel,"Kensington:Asisgenerally known,nationalismandanti-colonialism dominatethethoughtsoftheyoungAsians andplacetheirmindsunderthestressofa fervidemotion.Thisiscertainlytrueofmy ownAsianfriends.

R.:Yourfriendsareuniversitystudentsherein AustraliaundertheColomboPlan.

Notbeingunintelligent, andrealisingthatthesubjectyoumentionisoneon whichtheyfeelstrongly, theyshouldtakeparticular careingettingtheirfacts right,andgettingallthe relevantfacts,andthenin makingsurethattheirconclusionsarestrictlyinaccordancewiththeevidence.

Isaythatbecauseafervid emotionproverbiallyblinds onetoaspectsofaproblem otherthanthatwhichhas becomeanobsession,and leadstoexaggerationseven wherethatparticularoneis concerned.

Q.:Speakingspecificallyof thoseAsianswhoare Christians,intoomany casestheirnationalismis strongerthantheirreligiousconvictions.

R.:Onecaseofsucha perversionofvalueswould betoomany.Insofaras wefailtorealisethatthe claimsofChristuponus comebeforeanylesser claimswhatsoeverinthis world,shouldtherebea conflictbetweenthem,to thatextentwearenot Christiansatall.

ChristHimselfsaid:"Jf youloveevenfatheror mothermorethanMe,you arenotworthyofMe";and thosewordswouldbe equallyapplicabletoone's country.ProfessingChristianssuchasyoudescribe wouldhaveaverydiluted kindofChristianityandbe thevictimsofanexaggeratednationalismandfalse patriotism.

Incidentally,theirown nationalismbeingstronger thantheirownreligious convictions,theywouldforfeittherighttocriticisethe so-calledChristiannations oftheWestfordoingpreciselythesamething;namely,subordinatingtheir Christianconvictionsto nationalambitiontoexpandattheexpenseof lessernations.

IsCharlemagneWhatUnitesChristians

RatedAsSaint; ByTheChurch! WhatDividesThem

J.S.A.,Cooma:Tosettle adispute,willyoustate officiallywhetherornot Charlemagne,oftheeighth century,wasproclaimeda saintbyaPopeofthe CatholicChurch?

"Fifty-Five,"Coogee:BoththeAmericanProtestantrevivalists, Dr.FrankBuchmanandDr.BillyGraham,saythattheyurgetheir convertstotakeupsincerelyandearnestlythepracticeofreligion accordingtothechurchestowhichtheyalreadybelong.

R.:Theanswertothat question,takingitstrictly inaccordancewiththe termsused,mustbeacategoricalno.Therewas,however,aDecreeofCanonisationinconnectionwith Charlemagneissuedin1165 byapretendedPope, PaschalIII,apuppetof FredericBarbarossa,of Germany.ThelawfulPope wasAlexanderIII,who reignedfrom1159to1181. PaschalIIIusurpedthe Papaltitlein1164anddied in1168.Officially,hissocalledDecreeofCanonisation,whichheissuedin ordertopleaseFrederic Barbarossa,isregardedby theCatholicChurchasnull andvoid.Itistrue,nevertheless,thatincertainparts ofGermanyandFrance, Charlemagneishonoured asasaint.Butthisis merelyaPiuslocalcustom whichlocalbishopsarefree topermit,butwhichno Popehasofficiallyeither approvedorcondemned. Catholicsthroughoutthe worldarenotobligedto regardCharlemagneasa saint,eventhoughheisthe objectofpopularveneration andpietyincertainplaces inaccordancewithage-long localtraditions.

R.:ItistruethatDr. FrankBuchmandoesnot makeanyeffortstoconvert peopletohisLutheran Church,andthatDr.Billy Grahamisequallyindifferenttowardsconverting peopletohisBaptist Church.

Neitherofthemthinks thequestionastowhether onebelongstothischurch orthatofanygreatimportance.

Eachone'smoraldispositionsareforthemtheimportantthing,nottheobjectivetruthoftheclaims madebythevarious churches.

Q.:Isnotthisattitudebased ontheideathatthe thingsthatuniteChristian thosearegreaterthan thatdividethem. R.:Boththerevivalists youmentionwouldprobably subscribetothatidea.

Butwhenconfronted withthatideaoneiscompelledtoaskfirstlywhether itistrue,andsecondly whetherthethingsthat divideusloseallimportance becausethethingsthatunite usareofgreaterimport-ance-ifindeedthatbe true.

These,however,arepreciselytheaspectsofthe

subjectwhichhavecometo yourmind.

Q.:Isthereanythingheldin commonwhichcantruly besaidtouniteallprofessingChristians?

R.:Allwhoprofesstobe Christianswould,Ishould think,agreeintheidea thatsomehoworanother oneoughttoprofesstobe aChristian.Butthatisnot muchmorethananominal unity.

Onthepurelynatural levelallwouldagree,undoubtedly,thatweshould livegoodanddecentlives personally,andbekindly insentimentandbehaviour towardsothers.Butthatis notspecificallyChristian. Suchanoutlookcouldbe merelyhumanitarian,and wouldbesubscribedtoby amanlikeBertrandRussell,whopositivelydenies theChristianreligion.

Inotherwords,suchacceptancewouldnotbean actofChristianfaith,but onlyofconfidenceinone's ownnaturaljudgment. Therearenogradesofimportance,therefore,from thispointofview,where essentialarticlesofthe ChristianFaithareconcerned.

AndsinceCatholicshold thatfaithintheCatholic Churchasinstitutedby Christandguaranteedfor alltimeisessentialtothe Christianreligion,they cannotholdanythingelse theymayhaveincommon withotherprofessingChristianswhodenythetruthof theCatholicChurchtobe greaterormoreimportant thanthattruth,thedenial ofwhichdividesthem.

Q.:Itseemstomethatsuch anaxiommustleadeventuallytotheideathatone religionisasgoodasanother.

Q.:OnlyrecentlytwoAsian Catholicstoldmethey wouldrejectCatholicism ifitcametoashow-down betweentheircountry andtheirreligion.

Sir,-Yourcorrespondent, "MotherofTwo,"isonsafe groundwhenshestatesthat "theriskistoogreatfor thebenefittobereceived" whendealingwiththesubjectsofanti-polioinjections withSalkvaccine,andthe fluoridationofourdrinking' water. Itistothemothersthat wemustlookforafirmresistanceagainstthepowerlustersinthemedicaland dentalprofessions.

Iamnotamedicalman, norhaveIdoneacourse indentistry,butIamable toread,andIhavereada statementmadebytheNew SouthWalesDirector-GeneralofHealth(Dr.H.G.

Dr.Wallacefurtherstatedthatitwassignificant thatBritainwasnotusing SalkvaccineandthatFinlandwastheonlyEuropean nationtouseit.Hewould notmakeadefinitestate mentastowhetherheconsideredtheSalkvaccine dangerous.

IfweCatholicscametogetherinaprayerfulassociationandusedallthe meanswhichGodhasalreadygivenuswecould eventuallyrescuethechildren,thepoor,defenceless childrenofthisnation,from thethingwhichmenaces theirhopesofsecurityand rightliving.

IfChristiansworkedtogetherinanassociation withaneyeonthepolitical field,theycouldteachthe politiciansthatconcentratingonthefamilyasthe mostimportantsubjectof theiractivitieswouldevenuallyrightmostofthepublicevilsofourlives.

Restoretoparentstheir traditionaldignityand watchthegoodresults.I knowmanysimplewaysof accomplishingthisgood end,andthePapalEncyclicalsaremysourceofenlightenment.

Iamwellawareofthe strengthofanti-Catholic feeling,butIammore keenlyawareofthe strengthoftheHolyGhost.

Inthemeantime,whynot haveanassociation,and studyandbuilduptheideal ofChristianliving?

IstateP.W.Finnhas deliberatelycloudedtheiFsue.Idrawreaders'attentiontohisstatement("Record,"July21).Hewrote, "theIndustrialGroups wouldnotacceptthelogicalreasoningofThornton orSantamaria."Sucha statement,Irepeat,isnonsense. Why,Santamariawasthe guidingforceandinspirationoftheGroups,andto saytheGroupswouldnot accepthislogic.isabsurd. NowstatesP.W.Finn("Record,August4),Santamaria&Co.areresponsible forthebreak-upofthe Groups. IsitbecausetheGroups wouldnotaccepthislogic asMr.Finnstatedpreviously?Orwasitcorrect whathetoldusinhisfirst letter,theambitionofthe Groupsbroughtabouttheir downfall?

ArchbishopMannixmade thatstatement.Thatshould vindicateSantamariain themindsofAustralian Catholics,andmanynonCatholics,too.

Inhislastletter("Record,"August4),P.W. FinndeftlyavoidedanyreferencetoMr.Thornton,in replytomyqueryconcerningthisgentleman.IwaitedinvainforP.W.Finn's enlightenment,whichwas notforthcoming.

Inhisletter("Record," July21)P.W.Finnstated theIndustrialGroupsrefusedtoacceptthelogicof Mr.Thornton.Iaskedfor Mr.Finn'scorrectionifI waswronginthinkingthat thisMr.Thorntonwasnone otherthan Thornton, prominentCommunist,and onetimeRedsecretaryof theIronWorkers'Unionof N.S.W. IaskedMr.Finnifthe GroupsshouldacceptMr. Thornton'sRedlogic.I pointedoutthat,afterRed dominationhadbeenremovedfromtheIronWorkers'Union,theunionfunds hadincreasedto£20,000, whereas,underThornton& Co.,theunionhadbeenon thevergeofbankruptcyfor years. Whataluckybreakfor theironworkers!Whata blessingtheIndustrial GroupsdidnotacceptMr. Thornton'slogicasMr. Finnhasobliginglytoldus.

Notonlythat,theGroups weredeterminedtoexpose Thornton'sRedlogic-the rat-catcherwasonthejob -herealisedtheratswere notshareholdersofthe farm,infact,werethevery menacetothefarmthat hadalarmed32Australian CatholicBishopsintoissuing asolemnwarningonthe seriousnatureofthepresent set-up,threateningchurch andcountry.

However,togiveP.W. Finnanopportunitytodissociatehimselffromany Communisticcontact,such asMr.Thornton,Mr.Finn hasonlytoreplythatI havemistakentheMr. Thorntonhehadinmind.

Firstly,tocalltheCatholicRuralMovementorthe CatholicSocialMovement, theonlytwobodieswith whichIamassociated, either"Fascist"or"semiFascist"isanunprincipled falsehood.

ThepeoplewithwhomI amassociatedintheseorganisationsaredecentAustralians,manyofthem faithfulstalwartsofthe LabourMovementlongbeforeDr.Evattenteredit.

Overthelast12years verymanyofthemhave givenalltheirtimeandall theirenergytothefight againstCommunisminthe tradeunions.Theyneither sought-norreceivedthanks.

ReeksOfHypocrisy

Torewardthemwiththe title"Fascist"isaninsult, unworthyevenofDr.Evatt. ThereisonlyoneorganisationinAustraliatoday whoseprinciplesofpoliticalactionarethesameas thoseoftheFascists-the CommunistParty-with whichDr.Evattandhis supportersareobviouslyin regularconsultation.

Inthatworkhecoolly discusses,inrelationto HughesandHolman,the possibilitiesofrallyingthe non-CatholicvotebyattackingtheCatholicChurch. Itisobviousthathehas givengreatthoughttothis strategyandthatheistodaypractisingwhatheenvisagedin1940. Whetherthesearegood politicaltacticsforLabour isnotmybusiness.Ido think,however,thattherecentVictorianelectionmade itveryobviousthatCatholicsresentsectarianattacks andthataverylargeproportionofthemwillnot supportapartywhoseleaderusesthisweaponasa politicalstock-in-trade.

Finally,IrepeatwhatI havealreadysaidontwo occasions.Thestatement thateitherIorpersonsassociatedwithmehavebeen interestedininfiltratingthe LabourPartyistotallyuntrue. Wehavebeeninterested infightingtheCommunists inthetradeunions.Wedo notapologiseforthat,althoughwecanunderstand thatitupsetstheforces whichnowkeepDr.Evatt inhisposition.

ChangeOfGovernmentIn IndonesiaIsGoodThing

Mr.D.G.M.Jackson(Su11a)ofMelbourne,writesoftherecentpolitical changesinIndonesiaasfollows:

Onepieceofexcellent newshascomefromSouthEastAsialately-thatofthe falloftheSastro-Amidjogo GovernmentinIndonesia.

Asanadministration,it wasamongtheworstin Asia:itstoodforlittleexceptasterilenationalism, anditsmainobjectseemed tobetoclingtoapower forwhichitsleadersshowednoaptitudewhatever.

Inordertodothis,itreliedonthepersonalprestigeofPresidentSoekarno, whouphelditforreasons bestknowntoitself,and leanedhardtotheLeft,relyingincreasinglyonthe supportoftheCommunists, who"infiltrated"thewhole administration, including theCabinet,andextended theirpowerdangerouslyundercoverofanti-Westernnationalism.

AnotherfeatureofRed activitieshasbeentheformationof pars-military ex-servicemen'sorganisa-tion,"Perbebsi,"which

claimedamembershipof somethingover200,000.

Itwasnotinpossession ofarms,butitsmembers drilledregularly,andthe DefenceMinister,IwaKusumasumantri,furnishedthem withbarracksfortheiruse.

Underitsfeebleandcorruptrule,however,the P.K.I.hadincreasedits card-carryingmembership toaformidableextent,and hadcreatedanetworkof influence.

Twenty-threeofthese peoplehavebeenlyingin prisonformorethanayear, awaitingtrialuponcharges whichhavenotevenbeen knowntothem.

MeaningOf BishopsPlain

Sir,-Someofyourcor-respondentsappeartobe anxioustocreatetheimpressionthatintheirPastoralontheCommunist menace,theBishops,while deploringthedestructionof theIndustrialGroups,did notindicateonwhose shoulderstheblameshould beplaced.

Inorderthatno-onemay bedeceivedbythislineof argument,itispertinentto pointoutthatDr.Evatt himselfisundernosuchdelusion.Hisimmediateand violentreactionleftno shadowofdoubtthathe realisedthePastoralcontainedastrongrebukefor himandhissupporters.

Similarly,thePresswas unanimousininterpreting thePastoralasbeingcriticalofEvatt-Labourfor destroyingtheIndustrial Groups.Notonepaperat- temptedtoreadintoitany criticismofthegroupers.

NoMisinterpretation

IfDr.Evattandthe Pressandthegeneralpublic werewronginsoconstruingthestatement,thenIsuggest,withrespect,thatjus- tice haveandcharitywould impelledtheBishops toremovetheerroneous construction.

Itisnotpossibleto imaginethatTheirLordshipswouldhavepermitted agrossmisinterpretationto endurewithouttakingsteps tocorrectit.

Weallknow,ofcourse, thattheyhavetakenno suchsteps-fortheobvious reasonthattherehasbeen nomisinterpretation.

Dr.Evattwasrightwhen hesawinthePastorala rebukeforhim.Hesawno rebukeforthegroupersbecausetherewasnonetosee.

Finally,inconsideringthisquestion,itisvitaltorememberthatinrecent monthstherehavebeen numerousstatementsbyindividualmembersofthe Hierarchypraisingthe groupers,CatholicandProtestant.
