Four new social problems confront modern man, the Pope said in his letter to the Catholic world. He said they must be solved in tenns of truth, justice and love. He listed these problems: The depressed state of agriculture in an increasingly industrial

The lack. of mutual trust among nations. . The encyclical, Mater et Magistra, was written, the Pope said, because "W€ feel it Our duty to keep alive the. torch lighted by· Our great predecessors and to exhort all to draw from it inspiration and orientation in the search of a solution' to ,the social problems mo~ adapted to our times."

Secular Press Praises Pope John's Enc.y·clicai
WASHINGTON (NC) - Pop~ John XXIII's social encyclical got outright praise in immediate comments made .by leading U.S. newspapers. The New York Times lauded it as a historical document that "presents a picture of the conflict in our time between is a very modern version of very the. crude materialism 'of old ideas. I,t is a charter of social communism and the h,umane conduct for Christians everyo spirit of all great and endur- where, and Pope John, sensing ing' faiths." The newspaper, which immediately printed the entire text, referred to the encyclical as "an attempt to apply the ethics .of Catholicism to a changing world." It· said further: ",As the Pope advocates economic jus tic e 'among citizens of the same political community,' so also he argues for· ju:;;tice among the na·tions. and for assistance from among the developed countries so that people. in less':favored lands 'may succeed in raising the!r standards of living.' He generously pays tribute to· those international organizations, individual states and private agen.cies whose 'rlchly fruitful works' have had their beneficial results in recent years" The Baltimore Sun said: "This

" The Sun asserted: "There ilJ the implacable hC'stility to tyranny, and especially to that modern form, communism, which presumes explicitly to extend ita authority to the things of the spirit. There is the insistence that the only acceptable bases for social organizations are 'truth, justice and love.''' The.
