TheCardinalreportedlyspokebriefly,callingfor amatureapproachtotheChurch'sproblems,and askingthattherebenodisordersordemonstrations.

TheCardinal,itwasstated,appearedtobein goodhealthandradiantlyhappy.Hewasexpected topreachforthefirsttimeonNovember1.

TheCardinalwasnevertried.Hewasheldin detention,beingmovedfromoneplacetoanother forthelastthreeyears.

CommunistsourceswhoparticipatedinthemeetingswiththeCardinalwhichprecededhisrelease reportedthathesawtheneedofa"realisticapproach"tothesituationnowexistinginPoland.The CardinalisreportedtohavesaidthatPoland's greatestneedatthepresentisnationalunity.

ThecommunistregimeinPoland,apparentlyencouragedbytheCardinal'sattitude,finallydecided toreleasehim.

ThereleaseofCardinalWyszynski,accordingto informedsourceshere,makesitlikelythatthegovernmentwoulddissolvetheso-calledCatholicProgressiveOrganisation,knownasPAX.Thegroup, favourabletothecommunists,wasfoundedatthe heightoftheChurch-StatestruggleaftertheReds tookoverPolandin1945.

CommonopinionisthatPAXwassupportedby thePolishsecretpoliceasaweaponinthefightof thegovernmentagainstthePolishhierarchy.

ThisbooktellsthestoryofthePacificWaranditsaftermathincludingtheconflictinKorea,asseenfromthepoint ofviewofGeneralDouglasMacArthur,whosefigurewas dominantintheAmericanstrategyandpoliticalactionin thispartoftheworldduringaneventfuldecade,uptothe timeofhissuddendismissalbyPresidentTruman.

Itisbasedonamassofrecordsanddocumentsofall kinds,ofwhichaparthavebeengatheredtogetherinthe threevolumesofthe"MacArthurHistories".Thesehistories, usedasageneralguide,havebeensupplementedbyrecoursetoanumberoftheleadingfigureswhoplayedapart inthestory:andtheauthorsofthenarrativeareanofficer ontheintelligencestaffwhowasinclosetouchwithMacArthurduringthewholeperiod,andawell-knownjournalist whohasbeenonthestaffofthe"NewYorkTimes","Life" and"Fortune".

Itisobviousthroughoutthebookthattheyareinthe mostcompletesympathywiththeGeneial'spointofview inallcontroversies,andthattheyregardhimasamanof supremegeniusandheroicstature.Thisvolume,therefore, mayberegardedasthecomplete"apologia"forthecareer ofMacArthur,presentedtotheAmericanpeopleandthe world.

Itisanimpressivework-inparticular,thefirstpart, whichgivesacompletepictureofthegrandstrategyofthe PacificWarfromBataantoTokyo.Theconflictisdescribed withaccurateandclearexplanationsoftheobjectivesof theGeneralandthevariedobstaclesitwasnecessaryto overcomefortheirachievement-aboveall,theimmense distancesandthecontinualshortagesofmenandmaterial.

Ineveryphase,however,theaccountis"personalised," bygivinglivelyaccountsoftitepicturesquedoingsandutterancesofMacArthurhimself,andhisrelationswithother leadingfigures-Roosevelt,JohnCurtin,Quezonandmany more;andalsobyadventurousepisodesinthefighting,and thrillingdetailsofthe"underground"warinthePhilippines anditsheroes.

OfespecialinteresttotheAustralianreaderistheaccount theCommonwealthdefencesin1942,whenMacArthurarrivedinthiscountry.Itisshown,incidentally,that the"BrisbaneLine"wasbynomeansthemythithassometimesbeenrepresented."TheAustralianchiefshaddrawn

theyplannedtodefendthatlinetothedeath";whilethe WesternandNorthernregionsofthecontinentweretobe sacrificedifnecessary.

TheAmericanGeneralwasin"completedisagreement" withthisdefencestrategy,whichheregardedas"fatalto everypossibilityofeverassumingtheoffensive,"anditwas athisinstancethatthedecisionwasmadeto"beatthe Japanesetothepunch"byfightinginNewGuinea.Itis, therefore,toMacArthur'sclear-sightedcouragethatAustralia owesherimmunityfromactualinvasionandtheoccupation ofalargeareaofherterritorybytheJapanese.

ThewriterspayasplendidtributetothetremendouswareffortofAustralia,andtheco-operationofPrimeMinister Curtin,the"heartandsoul"ofthecountry.Itwasowingto thenation's"extraordinaryjob"ofexploitinglocalresources thattheAmericanarmedforcesintheSouthWestPacific wererenderedself-sufficientbeyondallothers,andthatthe driveforwardwasmadepossible.

AustraliaactuallygavemoretotheU.S.A.in"reverse" lend-leasethanshereceived,andMacArthurwasableto furnishtheneighbouringSouthPacifictheatreofwar,inthe earlycriticalperiod,withalargertonnageofsuppliesthan theAmericanauthoritiesshippedtohisownarea!Itseems astrangethingthatsolittlehasbeendoneheretopublicise thisinspiringwar-timeachievementofAmerican-Australian collaboration-aswellasourgreatdebtasanationtothe heroicAmericanwholedourforcestovictory.

ThiscomparativeindifferencetowardsmajorPacific achievementswaspartofawholepatternofthinkingagainst whichMacArthurwasbattlingthroughoutthetenyearsof hisleadership.ThehabitofregardingtheFarEasternWar asa"side-show,"theneglectofproperprovisionforits requirements,andtherejectionofMacArthur'sadviceregardingitsconductinWashington,werefollieswhichcontinued toprevailfromfirsttolastduringthedesperatestruggle withJapan;andthesametypeoferrorincalculationwas latertobringaboutthetragicfrustrationoftheGeneral's campaign-strategyinKorea,whenfullvictorywaswithinhis grasp.

OpposesAtomicAttackOnJapan

Thelongaccountsofthevaliant"resistancemovement" inthePhilippinesshouldprovesomethingofarevelation tomanyAustralianreaders,inviewoftheneglectofthis wholephaseoftheconflictbothduringandsincethewar. Itisclear,however,thatthisnewOrientalChristiannation putupafightofextraordinarypersistenceagainstitsruthlessandcruelconquerors,andkeptthetorchoffreedom burningbravelyuptillthehouroftheAmericanreturn.

AfterstabilisingthefrontatPusan,hedesignedthebold Inchonoperation,againsttheobstructiveattitudeofWashington,atatimewhenTrumanwasalreadyplanninghisdismissal.Itwascompletelysuccessful-buttheopportunity torestorepoliticalunitytoKoreabydynamicpoliticalaction waslost:andthespiritof"appeasement"intheU.N.made itcleartotheRussiansandChineseCommuniststhatthelatter couldsafelyintervenewithoutriskofreprisalsagainstthemselves. TheGeneral'smarchnorthofthe38thParallelhadbeen orderedinthenameoftheUnitedNations-itwasnotundertaken"onhisowninitiativeandinrecklessdefianceof superiorauthority,"aswasafterwardsfalselydeclaredina propagandawhichauthoritydidnothingtocorrect.Itwas notdoneinignorance,forthefactthattheRedChinesewere readyto"movein"waswellknown-thoughanintelligence reportsenttohimon21Novemberprofessedabsenceof informationonthismatter.

Yet,whilehemovedcautiouslyforward,hishandswere stilltied;hisaircraftwereforbidden"hotpursuit,"andthere wastobenobombingofelectricalinstallationsinNorth KoreawhichfurnishedcurrenttoManchuriaandSiberia;nor ofthesupplycentreatRajintowhichwarmaterialhadbeen forwardedfromVladivostok.Meanwhile,Westernstrategic materielwasgoingfreelytotheCommunistsbywaxyof HongKong!

ErrorOfTheGeneral'sDismissal

WhentheChineseRedsintervenedinstrength,ashe hadfeared,hewasreadyforawell-plannedwithdrawalthoughhewasnotevenallowedtoblowuptheYalubridges inordertoslowuptheadvancesofthenewenemy.The oddstowhichhisforceswereopposedwere"neverbefore encounteredintheentiremilitaryhistoryofthenation"andtothemwereaddeda"defeatist"propagandawhichdeliberatelysoughttodemoralisepublicopinionandtodiscredit theAmericanArmy.

MacArthurwasstillplanningforvictory,however-and hewasaidedbytheoutbreakofsmallpox,typhusandtyphoid intheenemyforces,whichwaslatermadethebasisofthe "germwar"propaganda.Thebookcontainssomeinteresting evidenceofthefactsconcerningthis-anditIsnotedthatno attemptwasapparentlymadetousethisinformationinrebuttingthefalsechargesoftheenemy.

Inthefinalchapter,on"TheDismissal,"itisshownthat MacArthurwasnotinfavourofsendingtroopstofighton Chinesesoil,andthatthemeasuresheproposeddidnot envisageanyactionoutsideKoreanterritory.Thethreemain chargesactuallyfirstmadethebasisoftheAdministration's caseagainsttheGeneral-hisstatementtoaveteran'sorganisationonFormosa,hispeaceoffertotheChineseCommunist leader,andhislettertoaCongressmanonthe"coldwar" strategyinAsiaandEurope-areallexaminedsoastoshow theirinsubstantialcharacterasajustificationforTruman's action.ItrejoicedtheCommunistsandwasreceivedwith dismayedbewildermentinJapan,wherehewaswidelyheld tobethefriendand"liberator"ofthenationhehaddefeated.

ThepoliticaldifficultiesofMacArthurbeganinthefirst momentsofvictory.HisplanfortherestorationofDutch authorityinIndonesia-whichcouldhavebeendonewith theutmostease-was"calledoffandforbidden"byWashington,andthepoliticalattitudeoftheBritishhelpedto securethesurvivaloftheJapanese-puppetregimeofSoekarno.Hewasleftuninformedabouttheplanforenatomic attackonJapan-which,inhisview,wasbothunnecessary andunjustified. HehadforeseenthepossibilityofaJapanesesurrender, however,andwasreadytoorganiseapeacefuloccupation -thougheveninthis,hehadtorepelill-advisedpressure fromWashington.Theaccountofthesurrenderemphasises theall-importantroleoftheEmperorofJapan(whomso manywishedtohavetreatedasa"warcriminal")andalso thegreatpersonalrisktakenbyMacArthurinhislanding atAtsugi-thebravestdeedofthewar,intheopinionof SirWinstonChurchill.

WiththeArmistice,MacArthurassumednewresponsibilitiesasmilitaryruleroftheJapaneseEmpireundertheterms ofthesurrender;andtobegin,wearetoldsomethingof theprocessofJapanesedisarmament,andofhisfightfor humanityandcommonsenseagainsttheadvocatesofharsher punitivemeasurescombinedwithmadlyaccelerateddemobilisation.,Therearesomeinterestingdetails,too,oftheintriguesandobstructionismoftheRussiansontheAlliedCouncil,andofthelinksbetweentheSovietEmbassyandCommunistespionageand"penetration."

WhyWeFastAndWhoMustDoIt

AskanaverageCatholicaudiencewhywe shouldfastbeforeCommunion.Youwillgetsome suchanswerasthis."Wefastoutofreverence. ForitishardlyreverenttoChristtoreceiveother foodbeforereceivingHissacredBodyandBlood."

Nowthisisnotawronganswer.Butitisonlyapartial answer.Andifitistheonlyanswerinpeople'sminds,it caneasilyleadtowrongconclusionsinpractice. Itcan evenkeeppeopleawayfromCommunion.Itdidkeepuncountedpeopleawayduringthe1400yearsbeforePope PiusX'sdecreeonfrequentCommunion.

Duringthe5thcenturytheanti-Arianstrugglewasstill goingon.ThehereticAriushaddeniedthatChristwastrue God.Inreaction,St.BasilandSt.JohnChrysostomstressed thedivinityofChrist,notonlyasadoctrine,butalsoin practice,indivineworship.

Insteadofbeingthoughtofmostlyasalovefeast,a supperofunionwithChristourbrother,TheEucharistbecametheawfulandtremendousmysteryinwhichtheSon ofGodbecomespresentinourmidst.Who,exceptthe mostpureandmostholy,woulddarereceiveHim?

Asaconsequence,Communion,whichwasanormalpart *sistanceatMassuntilwellintothe4thcentury,quickly merare.Sorare,indeed,diditbecomethatpeoplehad tobeforcedtogotoCommunionatleastonceayear. Reverencebecamemoreorlesstheonlyreasonforthefast beforeCommunion.

PeoplestayedawayfromtheEucharistoutofafalse senseofdread;theyfastedforCommuniontoincreasetheir senseofdread.B.utthepurposeoftheeucharisticfastis toprepareustoreceiveCommunion,nottokeepusaway fromit.

ChristcomestousinCommunion,notprimarilyasour Godtobereverentlyadored,butinordertotransformus intoHimself.AndHeisthesufferingVictimonthecross. ToreceiveCommunionwithoutfastingtojoininthesuffering andsacrificeofChristmeanstobeparasitesofthealtar.We mustbeonthealtar,notmerelyatthealtar.

WefastbeforeCommunionsothatwemaypartakemore fullyintheSacrificeandinitsfruit,HolyCommunion.

Nowmodernconditionsoflifedidmaketheoldfastvery difficult.Hence,somedetailsintheruleoffasthadtobe changed.ConcessionsweremadebyPopePiusXIIforthose whoneededthem,apartfromtheuniversalprivilegeof drinkingwaterbeforeCommunion.

FrequentWorthyReceptionIsGoal

MoreCommunionsistheHolyFather'sgoal.Bishop DworschakofFargointerpretedthePope'smindcorrectly whenhetoldhisprieststhattheyhaveagraveobligation tomakeavailabletotheirpeopleeveryadvantagethenew rulesoffer.

Ofcourse,merefrequencyofreceptionisnotthewhole goal.Frequentworthyreceptionisthewholegoal.But worthyreceptionmeans,necessarily,thespiritofsacrifice. Andthatnormallyentailsthebodilysacrificeoffasting.

HenceourHolyFather'sinsistencethatthechangesinthe rulesoffastingdonotlessennorobscuretheprincipleof theeucharisticfact.Andhefurtherinsiststhatthemore bodilyfastingismitigatedinpractice,themoreurgentlywe mustprepareourselvesbyinternalpenance.

Theeucharisticfastcannotbeproperlyunderstoodif viewedjustbyitself.Allgreatspiritualhappenings,or feasts,shouldbepreparedforspirituallybyprayerandfasting.BeforewedrawneartotheDivinity,wemusthumble ourselves,prepareourselves,disposeourselvs.
