WarningOnFutureOfLatinAmerica

Santiago,Chile:TheLatinAmericaoftomorrowwillbeshaped bycommunistsunlessitsCatholicsinstitutebadlyneededreforms inaccordwithChurchteachings,astudyhaswarned.

Thestudywaspublished herebytheInter-American SecretariatforCatholic Action.Itisdesignedfor useasabasisfordiscussion attheInter-AmericanCatholicActionWeektobeheld inMexicoCityfromNovember26toDecember4.

Thenewstudyforecasts thatlargemassesofpeople willbelosttotheChurch inLatinAmericaifsweepingreformsarenotmadei,i agriculture,health,housing educationandotherfields.

Itpointsoutthatthe problemstobesolvedare especiallyurgentinviewof thehugepopulationincrease expectedinLatinAmerica. Withinthenext15years, itpredicts,theareawill havetosupport100million newpeopleandfindjobs for38millionnewworkers.

Thestudyindicatesth,.t theplightofagriculture andfarmworkersisthe area'snumberoneproblem andonewhich"strikesmost directlyattheCatholic conscience."

MorethanhalfofLatin Americansliveinrural areas,itnotes,yetfoodproductionistoolowtofeed allofthearea'speople.

Bycontrast,theU.S., whereonlyalittlemorethan 10percentofthepeople liveonfarms,consistently producesagriculturalsurpluses. ThefoodproductionprobleminLatinAmericais gettingworseinsteadofbetter,thestudypointsout.

Inthepastdecade,itsays, thepopulationhasrisenby 45percent,whilefoodproductionhasgoneupbyonly 32percent.Inaddition, Muchoftheincreasedproductionisincropssuchas coffeeandsugar,alargepalt ofwhichareexported.

Thus,thestudydeclares, throughoutthewholearea "thereisnotasinglecountrythatdoesnotsufferthe consequencesofhunger."

Themajorfactorinthe farmproblem,thestudy says,istheunjustdistributionoflandincountries withbasicallyagricultural economics, Ownershipis concentratedinafewhands andthelandthatisleftover isdividedintofarmstoo smalltobeprofitablyoperated.

Becauseofconcentrated ownershiptherearemany farmerswhoownnoland atallandhavelittlebelie ofeverowningany.The consequenceiswidespread ruralpoverty.

Thestudyestimatesthat ofLatinAmerica's30millionfarmworkers,about 24millionare"agricultural proletarians"withoutland. Theselandlessfarmersand theirfamiliestotalcloseto 100millionpersonsandcorn-

prisemorethanhalfofthe area'speople. Thestudynotesthatin Brazil,thearea'slargestnation,62,000persons-less thanonetenthofoneper centofthepopulationcontrol60percentofth arableland. Ofthis60 percent,onlyfourpercent isinproduction.InColombiaonlyfiveofeach 1,000farmworkersownland. InGuatemalaandVenezuelaabouttwopercentof thepeopleownmorethan 70percentoftheland.

EducationProblem

Otherruralproblemsare causedbytheisolationof manyfarmswhichareseparatedbyvastdistances inareaswherethereareno adequatetransportationand communicationfacilities.It isthereforeextremelydifficult,thestudysays,toprovidemanyfarmworkers witheducation,medicalaid, policeprotectionandother necessities.

Underhalfofthechildren inruralLatinAmerica,it notes,haveaccesstoanelementaryschool.

Medicalcareispoor.In Colombia,forexample,two thirdsofthenation'sdoctors practiseinthecities,leavingonlyonethirdtocare forthe88percentofthe populationwholiveinrural districts.

Inaddition,thestudy characterisesthelivingconditionsin80percentofthe area'sruralhomesas"inhuman."

Theirplightonthefarms hasdrivenmanyrural peoplefromthecountryto LatinAmerica'sgrowing cities,wheretheirliving

conditionsarenotmuch better.

Thestudyestimatesthat 45percentofthehousing inlargeurbancentresis inadequate.

Itagaincalls"inhuman" theconditionsthatprevail inthelargeslumsthathave grownupontheoutskitts ofmajorcitiessuchas BuenosAiresandSantiago Itnotesthatinthepast decadeamillionpeoplehave movedtotheformercity fromruralareasandthat 40,000ruralpeoplemoveto thelattercityannually.

Theslumareas,itsays, arewithoutstreetsandsuch necessitiesaslight,wale: andsewers. Yetdespite suchconditions,itcontinues, "therapidprocessofurbanisationgoesonunderthe worstconditions,particularlyfromthestandpointof morality."

SlumsAreBad

"These(slum)districts," itadds,"aredestroyer,sof familyvaluesandhuman dignity,astheyareequally destroyersofsocialorganizationandcommunityliving. Theybecomecentresofvice, agitationandrebellion."

"Thus,"itconcludes,"th.' politicalstabilityofthe continentisendangered.'

Anotherdangertostability,thereportindicates,is thelackofadequateeducationandtheresultingilliteracy.

"Theilliteracyoflarge sectorsofthepopulation," itsays,"restrictsthese peopletooralmeansofinformation Withvery limitedchancesofforming opinionsoftheirownon manythings,theyareleft tothemercyofthepreju-

dicedorimpassionedinterpretationsofothers."

Morethan100millionLatinAmericansabovethe ageof10cannotreador write.Thepercentageof illiteracyrangesfrom89.3 inHaitito13.3inArgentina.

Thenumberofchildren andyouthsofschoolage (5-19)inLatinAmericais increasingevenfasterthan thepopulationasawhole. Butwellunderhalfof thoseinthisagegroupare inschools.Thepercentage variesfromalowof15.5in Nicaraguatoahighof56.9 inArgentina. Moreover, only10percentofprimary schoolstudentsinLatin Americagointosecondary schoolandonlytwopercent ofthosewhoenterfirst gradearegraduatedfrom secondaryschool.

Althoughthearea'sneed fortechniciansandprofessionalpersonnelisgreat,relativelyfewarebeing trainedbyLatinAmerican collegesanduniversities.In theU.S.,withabout180 millionpeople,approximatelythreemillionstudentsenrolledincollegesanduniversities.LatinAmerica, whichhassome200million people,hasatotalcollege anduniversityenrollmentof onlyabout350,000. One country,Argentina,withapproximately150,000students attheuniversitylevel,accountsfornearlyhalfthe total.

Despiteenormousefforts toremedytheeducational situation,thereportassert:, theoutlookisgloomy, NotingthatLatinAmerica needs200,000newschool roomsand500,000more teacherstoeducateits17 millionchildrennotnowin school,thestudyappealsto thearea'sCatholicsto launchacampaigntohelp providethem.

By CARDINAL WISEMAN CHAPTERXIV-CHARITYRETURNS.

CorvinusandFulvius,theWolfandtheFox, havebeenfoiledintheirseparateattemptsto spyontheactivitiesinthehouseoftheLady Agnes.Nowwereturntothathousehold

WHENcalmhadbeenrestored,afterthistwofolddisturbance,theworkofthedaywent quietlyon.Besidesthedistributionofgreater alms,suchaswasmadebySt.Laurence,from theChurch,itwasbynomeanssouncommoninearly ages,foilfortunestobegivenawayatonce,bythose whowishedtoretirefromtheworld.

Indeedweshouldnaturallyexpecttofindthatthe noblecharityoftheApostolicChurchatJerusalem wouldnotbeabarrenexampleofthatofRome.

ButthisextraordinarycharitywouldbemostnaturallysuggestedatperiodswhentheChurchwas threatenedwithpersecution,andwhenChristians,who frompositionandcircumstancesmightlookforwardto martyrdom,would,touseahomelyphrase,cleartheir heartsandhousesforaction,byremovingfromboth whatevercouldattachthemselvestotheearthand becomethespoilsoftheimpioussoldier,insteadof havingbeen,madetheinheritanceofthepoor.

Norwouldthegreatprinciplesbeforgotten,of makingthelightofgoodworkstoshinebeforemen, whilethehandwhichfilledthelamp,pouredinitsoil insecret,whichonlyHeWhoseethinsecretcan penetrate.

Theplateandjewelsofanoblefamilypublicly valued,soldand,intheirprice,distributedtothepoor, musthavebeenabrightexampleofcharity,which consoledtheChurch,animatedthegenerous,shamed theavaricious,touchedtheheartofthecatechumen, anddrewblessingsandprayersfromthelipsofthe poor.

Andyettheindividualrighthandthatgavethem remainedcloselyshroudedfromthescrutinyorconsciousnessoftheleft;andthehumilityandmodestyof thenoblegiverremainedconcealedinHisbosom,into whichtheseearthlytreasureswerelaidup,tobe returnedwithboundlessandeternalusury.

Andsuchwasthecaseintheinstancebeforeus.When allwasprepared,Dionysiusthepriest,whoatthesame timewasthephysiciantowhomthecareofthesick wascommitted,andwhohadsucceededPolycarpinthe titleofSt.Pastor,madehisappearanceand,seatedina chairatoneendofthecourt,thusaddressedthe assembly:

"Dearbrethren,ourmercifulGodhastouchedthe heartofsomecharitablebrother,tohavecompassionon hispoorerbrethren,andstriphimselfofmuchworldly possession,forChrist'ssake.WhoheisIknownot; norwouldIseektoknow.

"Heilsomeonewholovesnottohavehistreasures whererustconsumesandthievesbreakinandsteal, butprefers,liketheblessedLaurence,thattheyshould beborneup,bythehandsofChrist'spoor,intothe heavenlytreasury.

"Acceptthen,asagiftfromGod,Whohasinspired thischarity,thedistributionwhichisabouttobemade, andwhichmaybeausefulhelp,inthedaysoftribulation,whicharepreparingforus.Andastheonly returnwhichisdesiredfromyou,joinallinthat familiarprayer,whichwedailyreciteforthosewho give,ordo,usgood."

Duringthisbriefaddress,poorPancratiusknewnot whichwaytolook.Hehadshrunkintoacornerbehind theassistants,andSebastianhadcompassionatelystood beforehim,makinghimselfaslargeaspossible.

Andhisemotiondidallbutbetrayhim,whenthe wholeofthatassemblykneltdown,andwithoutstretchedhands,upliftedeyes,andferventtone,cried out,asifwithonevoice:
