Themaincauseofthepost-warshortageofrice inAsiahasbeenpoliticaldisturbances.Threelarge exportersofrice,Indo-China,Burma,andKorea, havebeenravagedbywarandinternalunrest.Rice productionintheselandshasdeclinedandexports havefallenmorethanproportionately.TheaftermathofwarandrevolutionhascausedIndonesiato changefrombeinganetexporterofricetobeing anetimporter.

WhyFoodCroppingLagsInSouth-EastAsia

InmanypartsofSouth-EastAsiariceandrubber areproducedbythesameindividuals.Peasants mayhavebothapatchofrubberandapadifield. Thetappingofrubberisamuchmorepleasantand lesslaboriousoccupationthanplantingrice,and wasmuchmoreprofitableduringtherecentboom; consequentlymuchricelandwasneglected.While highpricesforrubberandotherexportcropsthus diminishedthesupplyofricetheyalsoincreasedthe demandforit.

Forpeoplewhopreviouslysubsistedoncheaper grains-suchasmillet-werenowabletoafford rice.UnintelligentattemptsatGovernmentcontrolhavealsobeencontributorytoalowlevelof production,andstillmoreofmarketedsupplies, cfrice.Insomelands,notablyThailand,theGovernmenthasamonopolyofbuyingricefromthe cultivators,anditusesitspositiontobuyatprices farbelowtheworldlevelsatwhichitsellsonthe internationalmarket.

(HereitmaybeofinteresttonotethatF.A.O. estimatesthat"fortheworldasawhole,thequantity ofriceandgraindestroyedbyratsandinsects probablyequalsthetotalquantitiesmovinginto internationaltrade.")

Foodisnot,ofcourse,theonlyrequirementwhich mustbeincreasedinstepwith,ormorequicklythan, population.Theworld'spowersupplies,forInstance,andthepossibilityoftheirdevelopment, isaproblemthathasarousedanxiety.Theearth's storesofcoal,oilanduranium,whichhavetaken innumerableagestoamass,arebeingconsumedin afewgenerations.

ModernPortrayal OfChristInArt

Davenport,Iowa,U.S.A.-Threeofthe mostcommonerrorsincurrentattemptsto portraytheimageofChristinartare"toohuman"images,"effeminateportraits,"and "pureabstraction,"saysRev.FatherE.M. Catich,formerpresidentoftheCatholic The"ShroudofTurin," ArtAssociation.

FatherCatich,whois headoftheArtDepartment ofSt.AmbroseCollege, Davenport,saysthetoohumanimagesofChristaccentthebodyattheexpense o(thespirit,"inviteadeemphasisof(Christ's)divinity,"andcomedangerouslyclosetothe"heretical positionofviewingChrist aslip.thegreatteacher, psycogist,socialworker, wonderworker rather thanthetruerecognitionof HimasGod-man."

Theeffeminateportraits ofChrist,saysthepriest, arean"abomination"which confrontuseverywhere.

Suchaportrait,headds. features"up-gazingeyes; soft,downybeard;long, slender,lady-likehandsand fingers."

Theexaggeratedabstract symbolism,whichhasenteredasa"kindofreaction totheabusesabove,"eliminatesor"undulydistorts" the"humanconfigurations andfeaturesofChrist inanattempttocommunicatepurespiritualideas

"Pureabstractionimplies adenialoratleastaseriousdilutionofthefactthat theWordwasindeedmade Fleshanddweltamongus," writesFatherCatich.

ResonantSilence

Italsoinvitestheviewer to"readintosuchartwhat hewishestoread,encouraging'personal'religionand devotionalrelativity."

Thepriest-artist'sviews arecontainedinanarticle entitled"TheImageof ChristinArt,"writtenfor "TheCatholicMessenger," Davenportdiocesanweekly.

Thepriest'sarticleis dividedintothreesections: adescriptionofhowChrist hasbeenhistoricallypictured,fromtheageofthe Catacombstothepresent day;anexplanationofthe presenceof"muchvulgaritythatpassesfor'Christian art'today";andsome"positiveartisticandtheological principles"bywhichgenuineChristianartmaybe produced.

purportingtobeatrue imageofthedeadChristas Helayinthetombfrom GoodFridayuntilEaster, FatherCatichdismissesasa "14thcenturyfabrication." FatherCatichsuggests thatGodmayhavehada reasonforwithholdingall actualphysicaldescriptions ofChrist,andthatthereasonmaybe"sothateach ageandpeoplecouldassimilateChristastheirideal."

RestoreMasculinity

"What,"heasks,"isthe idealofourtime?Icannotanswerthatquestion withanyfinality,atleast notforsometime.

"Onereasonisthatweno longerhavekings,epic heroes,emperorsandother serviceableprototypesfor theideal."

Meanwhile,artistsmust wageactivewaragainstthe "sentimentality"inmuch religiousarttoday,heholds. Asafirststep,theymust helprestore"masculinity" toChrist.

Atthebottomofall"disorderinidolatrous,vicious, badandtepidreligiousart," saysFatherCatich,is"defectivesymbolism."

Thesymbolisthe"very core"ofreligiousart,he says.Itisamaterialsign which"standsfor"and pointstoreligiousandspiritualideas,conceptsand truths.

Whenthesymbolisexcessivelyparticularisedit callsattentiontoitself,it becomesanillustrationinterestinginitselfrather thanasignpointingto higherrealities.
