Democracyandmoralvalueswilldisintegrateunderthepressureoftotalitarianism, ifthecoldwarcontinues,anAmerican sociologistbelieves.

Communismwouldmelt awayinaprolongedperiod ofpeace,saidPitirimA. Sorokin,whodelivereda seriesoflectureshereat St.LouisUniversity.

"Leninwasasecond-class thinker,notparticularly competentandnon-compassionate,"saidDr.Sorokin, whowasexiledfromRussia afterfightingLeninfaceto face.

Hehadbeenamemberof theshort-livedSocialistRevolutionaryGalvernmentin 1917.Heisnowdirectorof HarvardUniversity'ssociologicalresearchcentre.

"IdebatedwithLeninon anumberofoccasionsbeforemassmeetingsof workersthroughoutRussia," Dr.Sorokinsaid."Hewas notaverygoodspeaker, liedrepeatedly,andlikeall Bolshevikswasextremely cruel."

Dr.Sorokinwasone.)f thefoundersoftheRussian Peasantparty,editorofthe "RussianRepublic"secretarytoSocialistPrime11ainlaterKerensky,andaleadingmemberoftehfirstRussianConstituentAssembly, whichwasdispersedbythe Communists.

"ThreetimestheCommunistsarrestedandimprisonedme,andonone occasionIwastoldIwould beexecutedbyorderof Leninhimself,"herevealed. "ButtheCommunistsfinallyreleasedandbanished mefromthecountryin 1922."

Authorofmorethan30 booksonsociologyandrelatedsubjects,Dr.Sorokin hadagloomyoutlookonthe battleagainstworldCommunism.

"Whatishappeningand willcontinue,ifthecold warstrugglegoeson,isthat democracyandthegreat moralvalueswilldisintegratefromthesolepreisure oftotalitarianism,"theeminentsociologistdeclared.

Withoutrecurringmilitaryemergenciesandconflicts,Dr.Sorokinpredicted that."CommunisttotalitarianisminRussiaand Chinawouldmeltaway duringtehprolongedPeriod ofpeace.Someformof co-existenceshouldbe workedout."

WhatIsJewishBelief

OfComingOfMessiah?

G.D.B.,Enmore:DoJewishpeopleadmitthattheOldTestamentpredictsaMessiahtocome?

R.:Jewishpeoplemaybe non-religiousorreligious. ThereareJewswhohave abandonedallreligiousbeliefs;andwho,therefore, nolongeraccepttheOld Testamentascontaininga divinerevelation.

ReligiousJews,inturn, aredividedintotwomain groups,OrthodoxJewswho clingtotheirOldTestament religion;andReformorLiberalJewswho,althoughreligious,havebeengreatly affectedbyrationalism.

OnlytheOrthodoxJews canbesaidtobelieveinOld Testamentteachingsabout aMessiahtocome.

Q.:Iftheydobelieveina Messiah,howdotheyescapethefactthatthedetailsofthesufferingsof ChristinHispassionsofit inwiththedescriptionof the"SufferingServant" inIsaiah53?

R.:Thosereligiousscholarsamongthemwhohave studiedthesubjectadmit thatourfourGospelstoday aresubstantiallyaccurate reproductionsoftheoriginals.Acriticalstudyof ancientmanuscriptsproves that.

Buttheysaythatthefour evangelists,drawingontheir knowledgeoftheOldTestament,deliberatelydrewa pictureofChristwhich wouldfitinwithOldTestamentteachingsoftheMessiahtocome.

Inotherwords,theevan-

gelists,theysay,falsifiedthe factsofthelife,suffering anddeathofChrist.This theycannotprove. Ontheotherhand,the theorysupposesthatthe evangelistsdeliberatelylied, withnothingtogaininthis worldexceptpersecution andmartyrdom;whilst,accordingtotheirownteaching,suchblatantdishonesty wouldbeagravecrime againstGodandreligion,a blasphemousfraudfor whichtheycouldexpect onlyhellinthenextlife.

Moreover,suchconscious insincerityisquiteoutof keepingwiththecharacters oftheevangelistsasotherwiseknown;whilstthere weretoomanythenliving, bitterlyopposedtothem, whowereinapositionto exposetheirduplicity,if theyhadindeedbeenguilty ofsuchafalsificationof events.

Q.:IfJewsbelieveinthe OldTestamentpromises ofaMessiah,howdo theyinterpretthem?

R.:Somesaytheterm "Messiah"referscorporatelytotheJewishpeopleasa people.Othersadmitthat anindividual"Messiah" seemsattimestobeindicated,butholdthatsuchan individualisnotessentialto God'splan,ardcouldbedispensedwith. Inanycase,ifanindividual"Messiah"isyetto come,hewouldmerelybe mac

aleaderandsymbolofthe JewishraceasGod'schosen people;andsuchJewssay, therefore,thattheJewish people,asapeoplewillbe usedbyGodtobringinthe MessianicKingdomorera.

Q.:WhatpreciselyIsitthat Judaismlooksforwardto?

R.:Jewishideasdonot reallygobeyondtheestablishingofautopiainthis world,akindofheavenon earth.TheJewsbelieve God'spromisetobeoneof temporalprosperityfortheir ownrace,othernations sharinginitundertheir leaderShip.

Directly,therefore,their religionhasa"this-worldly" outlook.Indirectly,theybelievethatspiritualblessings willaccompanytemporal prosperity,resultinginuniversalpeaceonearth.

Jewishwritersdenythat Christwasexpressinga JewishideaatallwhenHe said:"Mykingdomisnotof thisworld."

Q.:HowdoestheChristian hopedifferfromthatinspiredbyJudaism?

R.Christianityinsistson thePersonalityofanindividualMessiahwhocameas Christtoredeemmankind fromspiritualevil,orsin, theonethingthatcan reallycomebetweenusand God,andmakewreckageof oureternaldestiny.

Directly,Christianityis concernedwiththateternal destiny,andonlyindirectly withtemporalinterestsaffectingourlifeofprobation inthisworld.SoChrist said:"Laynotuptoyourselvestreasuresonearth, wheremothsconsumeand rustdestroys;butlayupto yourselvestreasurein heaven.SeekfirsttheKingdomofGodandhisjustice (orrighteousness),an.d otherthingswilllookafter themselves."

Ofthemanwhostakesall onthislife,Christsaid: "Thoufool,thisnightthy soulshallberequiredof thee,andthenwhoseshall allthosethingsbe?"Inthe BeatitudesChristpromised ustrialsinthislifewhich, ifacceptedintherightway, willberewardedinheaven.

LordBaconsaidsuccinctly:"ProsperityistheblessingoftheOldTestament, adversityistheblessingof theNew."Butthatisnot reallycorrect.Itimpliesa misunderstandingoftheOld Testamentwhichwasasymbolicalandpropheticpre- parationfortheNew.

However,Lord,Bacon's epigramreflectsamisunderstandingstillcurrent amongstreligiousJews whichmakesthe"otherworldly"spiritualoutlook ofChristianitydifficultfor them.

"BibleStudent,"Oatley:"Couldyougiveme someinformationabout the"LostTenTribesof Israel?"

R.:NotentribesofIsrael wereeverlost.Theterm "losttribes"isnowhereto befoundintheBible.Briefly,thehistoryoftheHebrewsisasfollows.

About1200B.C.theyconqueredPalestine,anddivideditinto12territoriesaccordingtotheir12 tribes. About930B.C.thetentribes intheNorthbrokeaway fromthetwotribesinthe South,JudaandBenjamin. TherewerethentwoKingdoms,IsraelintheNorth, andJudaintheSouth.

About722B.C.theAssyriansconqueredthenorthernkingdom,anddeported about27,000membersofthe tentribestoEasternAssyria. Butmostmembersofthe tentribesremainedin Israel.

About598Nebuchadnezzar,KingofBabylon,conqueredJuda,anddeported manyofitsinhabitantsto Babylon.Theexileswere calledthe"JewsoftheDispersion,"andtheybelonged toall12tribes.In538, Cyrus,KingoftheMedes, conqueredAssyriaand Babylon,andgavefreedom totheJewishexilestoreturntoPalestine. Somedidso;otherspreferredtoremainwherethey were.Butthe"Jewsofthe Dispersion"wereneverregardedas"lost"tribes,nor asbeing"ten"only.St. Paul,addressingAgrippa, spokeof"ourtwelve tribes,"makingnoallusion toanyofthembeinglost. ,(Acts,26:6).St.Jamesaddressedhisepistle"tothe twelvetribesthatarescatteredabroad."(James1:1).

Q.:Iaskthisbecausehe "BritishIsraelites"say thattheBritishNation andthepeopleofAngloSaxondescentinAmerica arethelost10tribesof Israel.

R.:Therewerenolostten tribestoendup,aftervariouswanderings,asAngloSaxons.Thattheoryisfantasticnonsense.

Thereisnohistoricalevidenceofanykindthateven thecomparativelysmall groupsofJewishexilesever leftMesopotamiatomigrate toBritainandthenceto America.

Therehasbeenanimmenseamountofrubbish writtenaboutthemythical "losttentribesofIsrael" forthebenefitofill-informedandcredulouspeople.

Q.,Myfriendasksme:"If thelost10tribesdidnot gotoBritain,wheredid theygo?"

R.:The"losttentribes" werenever"lost"togoanywhere.Butthelegendof thesesupposedly"lostten tribes"isanoldone.

Thus,whilstthe"British Israelites"haveinventeda detailedaccountofhow theybecameAnglo-Saxons, asfarbackas1585aSpanishCatholicpriest,Father Duran,equallyfoolishly maintainedinhishistoryof SpanishAmericathatthe AmericanIndianswerethe "losttentribesofIsrael," whohadmadetheirway thereafterhavingbeendeportedfromPalestineto Between1830and1848a wealthyAmericancrank namedEdwardKingsboroughpublishedaninevolumeworkcalledthe "AntiquitiesofMexico"at acostofover£60,000to provehispettheorythatthe AmericanIndianswereof Hebreworigin,andwerein factnootherthanthe"lost tentribesofIsrael."

StateControllingSchools MustLookToPopularWill

VaticanCity,Jan.3.-ThemoreaState controlseducation,themoreitmustconsiderthewillofthepeople,saidHisHoliness PopePiusXIIinatalkhere.

Addressing130members oftheAssociationofCatholicSchoolTeachersofBavaria,thePope'sremarks wereapparentlydirectedtowardthecurrentstrugglein BavariatodeterminewhethertheStateshallassume controlandoperationof thoseState-supportedteacherscollegeswhichhavefor yearsbeenrunbyCatholics.

Catholicselsewherein Germanyhavebeenfighting forseveralyearstoavoid anyfurtherso-called"unification"ofschools.Under thisproposalthepresent State-supportedProtestant andCatholicschoolswould beunitedintoState-financedandconductedinterdenominationalschools.

GermanCatholicshave insistedthattheproperreligioustrainingoftheirchildrencannotbeassuredin these"unified"schools.

TwoFallacies

Legislationsettingupa "unified"schoolsystemwas passedinLowerSaxonyin 1954bytheSocialDemocraticgovernmentofthat State. The legislation, whilestillonthebooks,has notyetbeenenforced.

Sincethattime,the SupremeConstitutional CourtofGermanyhasbeen consideringacaseinvolvingtheschoollegislation. TheGermanFederalGovernmenthasfiledsuitto havetheLowerSaxonylaw declaredunconstitutionalon thegroundsthatitviolates provisionsofthe1933German-Vaticanconcordat.

Inhisremarkstothe Bavarianteachers,thePope saidthattheStatehasan obviousdutytomeetthe expectationsanddesiresof thosewhohavearightto education,eitherthrough theorganisationofschools or,moreparticularly, throughthethoroughfor- mationofteachers.

ApplyingthistoCatholic studentsmeansthatthe Stateshouldinsureproper relationsbetweenteachers andCatholicparents,the Popesaid,basingtheserelationson victionsthereligiousconandmentalityof bothstudentsandteachers.

Groatimportancemust begiventotheformationof teachers,headded,whoare "thesouloftheschoolarid whogiveitorientation."

ThePontiffattackedtwo fallacieswhichhavebeen forcedupon-Catholicsin schools.

Firstofall,hesaid,"it cannotbesaidthatteachers mustsetasidetheirpersonal ideologicalconvictionswhile theyarecarryingouttheir activitiesinschools."

Secondly,hepointedout, onecannotobjecttoCatholicschoolsasthoughthey werenotforminggoodcitizens.

ThePopenotedthatthere isarealdangerinsubject- ingchildrentoteacherswho are"indifferent,negative,evenhostile,towardsthe religiousandmoralconvictionsofparents."

Itwouldoffendtheelementaryrightsofmar!,he added,ifparentswerecompelledtoentrusttheirchildrentosuchteachers.

Regardingthematterof schoolsforminggoodcitizens,hesaid:"TheCatholic Churchfullyrecognisessuch anecessity.

"Wherehercontribution inthisrespectisconcerned, WebelievethattheCatholic schoolcanproudlystandupbeforewhateverStateauthoritytheremaybe Have

ForestsHopkins,SmallTimeEditor, ToldRussiansBluntHomeTruths

TheSovietsdidnotwanttoletForests HopkinsintoRussiainthefirstplace,and fromtheirpointofview,itlooksasifthey wereright.

Hopkins,whoiscalled Forriebyhiswifeand Hoppybyhis*friends,isthe blunt-spokeneditorand publisherofaweeklynewspaper,the"NorthEast Breeze."

HewenttoRussiawitha groupofotherAmerican newspaperpeople,andhe spokehismindasplainly thereashedoeshereabouts.

Thegroupwasinthe chargeofayoungwoman CommunistnamedNatasha, whoprobablywishesshe hadneverseen-andespeciallyheardfrom-the AmericanskiMisterHopkins.

Natasha,showingthe grouparoundMoscow, boastedthatreligionisfree intheSovietUnion,andfor evidenceassertedthatthere are14churchesopeninthe capital.

SomeoftheAmerican newspaperpeopledutifully expressedastonishmentand admiration,butnotHoppy Hqpkins.Heinterrupted thechorusbyblurting:

"Waitaminutewaita minute!Fourteenchurches inapopulationofmorethan 4,000,000?Geewhiz-we've got14churchesinNorth East,andourpopulationis only5,200!"

"Furthermo,re,the churchesthatwereopenin Moscowwerelittlebitty things.Therearesome magnificentbigchurches there,especiallybehindthe Kremlinwalls.Butthey

aren'tusedaschurches. They'vebeenturnedinto museums."

Atonepointinthetour, Hopkinsgotsosickand tiredofhearingNatasha claimthattheSovietsinventedeverythingthathe toldher.-

"Lookhere-you'vegot onethingthat'sbetterthan ours-yoursubway.I'llgive youthat.But,everything elseyou'vegot,we'vegota thousandtimesmoreof,and better-andwe'vehaditfor yearsandyears.Andthat's notcountingthethings we'vegotandyouhaven't."

PhoneBooks,Fashion

HopkinssaystheRussians claimtheyinventedthe telephone-buthenoticed thattheydon'tevenhave telephonebooks,andthe serviceisnothingtobrag about.

Natasha,Hopkinssaid, wasagood-lookingyoung woman.Whenshementionedthatshewasanatheist, hetoldher:

"Youknow,you'reanicelookinggirl.You'reattractivejustlikeAmerican girls.Butifyouwerein Americaandsaidyouwere anatheist,themenwouldn't findyouattractiveany Ionger."

Hopkinstookhundredsof picturesinRussia.Oncehe noticedalittleboystaring fascinated,atthepretty shoeswornbyMrs.Hopkins, whowentalongonthetour. Hopkinsaimedhiscamera,

"Theboyisn'tlookingat theshoes.He'sjustlooking atthegroundbecauselicks shy.Prettyfashionsare nothingnew-tohim.We havelotsofnicefashionsin Russia."

"Thenwhydon'twesee anywomenwearingthem?" inquiredHopkinsashe snappedthepicture.

HintsOfTortures

Washington,U.S.A.:CardinalJoszefMindszenty, PrimateofHungary,has baredthe"unspeakable tortureatthehandsofthe brutality"thatmarkedhis Communists. TheRedsforcedhimto watchobsceneorgies,and forseveraldaysbeathim witharubberhose,par- ticularlyonthechest"becausetheyknewIhada weaklung."

Whenfinallyheagreed tosignthetrumped-up confession,theCardinal triedtowarntheworldby addingtheinitials"CF" afterhisname. HehopedtheRedswould believethattheyrepresentedanecclesiasticaltitle, whereasheactuallymeant CoactusFeci(AgainstMy Will!).TheRedsrealised theruse,theCardinaladded,andwouldnotlethim usetheletters.

Inaninterviewobtained Nov.4for"Look"magazine byLeslieB.Bain,an Americannewsman,the Cardinaltoldhowhewas nearlyshotonthatvery morningbysecretpolicemenwhohadsummoned him"tomeet"withformer PremierNagyandtheHungarianCabinet.
