TheStatementonSocialJusticewhich isbeingissuedthisyearwiththeformal approvaloftheEpiscopalCommitteeon CatholicAction,containsaparticular applicationoftheprinciplesenunciated inlastyear's''Bishops'Statement"to theconditionsofAustralianworkers today.

TheBishops'Statementissuedlast yearhadacirculationof61,000copies, anditsirfluenceoneverysectionof Australianopinion,CatholicandnonCathclic,wastremendous.ItsreceptionbymembersofthevariousAustralianParliamentswasespeciallynoteworthy.

Inhisforewordtothisyear'sStatement,theEpiscopalSecretaryofthe BishopsCommitteeonCatholicAction makesthefollowingremark,thetruth of,ychichwillbeacknowledgedbyAustralianlegislators:

"Itisnotpresumptuoustoclaim thattheunitedCatholicvoice,which washeardthroughoutAustralialast yeardemandingthatChristianprinciplesshouldbeappliedtooursocial lifefortifiedthedeterminationofthe Australianpeopletotakeatleastone definitestepinthatdirectionbyestablishingfamilyendowmentasan elementinournationalsocialpolicy."

Thereceptionwhichwasaccordedthe 'Bishops'StatementonSocialJustice" byAustralia'spublicmenlastyearwas anotableone,andahappyauguryfor thisyear'sdocument.

ThelateSirHenryGullet,thenActingMinisterforInformationinthe FederalGovernment,wrotethatheyeas "inextraordinaryagreementandsympathywiththeBishops'Statement.. Itisaltogetheradmirableinitsbreadth ofviewanditisunanswerableinits appeal."HewishedtheAustralian NationalSecretariatofCatholicActicin (whichdistributedthedocument)

"everysuccessinthegrandcauseto whichithadcommitteditself."

Mr.JohnLemmon,M.L.A.,former VictorianMinisterforEducation,declaredthatit"connotedthelogicaldevelopmentoftheChristiancareofthe CatholicChurchinitspromotionofthe welfareofthepeople."Heregarded itasa"mostvaluableandopportune contributiontoimportantquestionsof theday."

Mr.W.V.McCall,M.H.R.,member forMartin(N.S.W.),acknowledgedthat hehadalreadymadeuseofsomeofthe ideascontainedintheStatement,and thatmanyothermemberswereinaccordwiththesentimentsexpressed.

Mr.H.W.Cremean,M.L.A.,DeputyLeaderoftheVictorianLabourParty, emphasisedthat"theBishopshadgiven aleadwhichmightbefollowedwith profitbymanyothersinthecommunity.'Mr.Cremeanwassubsequently chairmanoftheSelectCommitteeof theVictorianParliamentonthematter ofChildEndowment,andhiscommittee'sexcellentreportwaspraisedby Mr.Holt,M.H.R.,MinisterofLabour andNationalSecuritywhenheintroducedtheFederalChildEndowment legislation.

J.H.Gifford,LecturerinEconomics intheUniversityofQueensland,valued theStatementforitssuggestionsconcerningChildEndowmentandMarriage Loans.

H.Alcock,ProfessorofEconomicsin thesameUniversity,declared:"DespitethefactthatIamnotofyour Church,Isincerelytrustthat'Social justiceSunday'willprovetohave broughthometomany,andparticularlytoteachersandtothoseyoungpeoplewhoarejustbeginningtogather confidencefortheresponsibilitiesoflife, theurgentneedforacoherentmorality andaunifiedoutlookonourmanyproblems."TheStatementwas"afine pieceofcompressionandexpressed principleswithwhichIaminhearty agreement."

ThelateDr.W.Moloney,the"Litt'.? Doctor,"greatworkerforandsincere friendofMelbourne'spoor,wasamong thosewhopubliclyexpressedhisappreciationoftheStatement.

Mr.E.V.Holloway,M.H.R.,Labdur memberforMelbournePorts,inexpressinghisadmirationoftheStatement,declared:"IreadtheStatement

OrganisedbytheReds

"Bellbird,"SouthCoast,N.S.W.: Willyoupleaseanswerthefollowing questionsforme.

Ishalldosowithpleasure. RecentlytherewasinEnglandarally calledthe"People'sConvention."

Correct. Theso-called"Peop,e'sConvention'' washeldintheFreeTrdeHall,Manchester,onJanuary12ofthinyear. IsittruethatthisConventionwas organisedbytheCommunists?

Theanswertothatquestionwas givenintheHouseofCommonson December19,1940,byMr.Herbert Morrison,theHomeSecretaryandprominentSocialist:

"Thisconventionisbeingorganised bytheCommunistParty,whoprobablyhopebymeansofsuchagatheringtogainsomesupport.fromloyal peoplewhohavenointentionofimpedingthewareffort,andareunaware oftheulteriormotivesforwhichthe conferencehasbeenorganised."

LongbeforethesaidConventiontook placethe"DailyHerald,"theBritish Labourpaper,warnedthepeopleagainstitbecauseofthehiddenCommunistinfluenswhichwerebehindit. TheComneistPress,bothinBritain andAustralia,gavegreatprominence totheConvention,andurgedthe "Comrades"togiveittheirfullsupport.

Mr.D.N.Pitt,LC.

Whowerethepeoplebehindit?

Ingeneral,theCommunistPartyof GreatBritain;inparticular,Mr.D. N.Pritt,K.C.,thememberforNorth Hammersmith.

InMarchoflastyear,Mr.Prittwas expelledfromtheBritishLabourParty onaccountofhisoppostiontothedeclaredpolicyofthePartywhichhad condemnedSovietRussia'saggression againstFinland.

Ofcourse,Mr.Prittdeniesthathe isaCommunist.Butactionsspeak louderthanwords,andhisactionsduringthepastfewyearsgivequitethe oppositeimpression.Perhapsheis oneofthoseofwhomNoel-Bakerspoke attheLabourPartyconferencewhich discussedtheexpulsionofMr.Pritt: "Theydenythattheyaremembersof theCommunistParty,butpreachits doctrineineverywaytheycan."

Mr.Prittfirstcameintoprominence asasupporterofStalinatthetime ofthe"purges"inwhichpractically allofthefoundersandleadersof Bolshevismwere"liquidated."Oneof themainchargesonwhichthesemen weretriedandexecutedwasthatthey hadconspiredwithHitlertodestroy theSovietregime.

TwoyearslatercametheNazi-Soviet Pace * *

TheProgrammeofthe"People'sConvention."

Whatwastheprogrammeofthe"People'sConventionr?

Itisnecessarytodistinguishbetweenthe"window-dressing"programmepreparedtogullthepublic andtodeceivetheunwary,andthe realaimandpurposewhichwas,accordingtoorthodoxCommunisttactics,keptwellinthebackgrounduntil thegroundwasprepared.

The"window-dressingprogramme," whichwonthesupportoftheusual crowdofpinkprofessors,clergymen andactresses,containedsixpoints:

(1)Todefendthelivingstandardsof thepeople.

(2)Todefendtheircivilliberties,and theirTradeUnionrights,conditions andpractices.

131Tosecurethemadequateair-raid protection.

(4)Todevelopfriendshipwiththe U.S.S.R.

(5)ToestablishaPeople'sGovernment.

(6)ToworkforaPeople'sPeace.

Thoseacquaintedwiththejargon usedbythe"Comrades"willhaveno difficultyinunderstandingtheimport ofthelastthreeitems.Itisinterestingtonotethatourlocal'Comrades"recentlyadoptedanidentical programmeastheirown"windowdressing"policy. * * * * ItsRealAim.

Somuchforthe"window-dressing" programmeoftheso-called"People's Convention."Here,accordingtothe sameMr.Pritt,istherealprogramme,

aimandpurposeofthesaidConvention.Inanarticleentitled"Towards thePeople'sConvention,"writtenfor "WorldNewsandViews,"issueof November2,1940,Mr.Pittwrote:

"Theapparentdilemmaofachoice betweenCAPITULATIONTONAZISMandtheintensificationoftheir presentsufferinginthehopeofamilitaryvictorysomeyearshence,fills them(thepeopleofEngland)withdespair.ATPRESENTtheyrepudiatecapitulation..Butsuffering,discomfort,andofficialattemptstopalliate orjustifyorconcealthesesufferings, arecreatingadissatisfactionandan angersowidespreadastoformanucleausofgeneralOPPOSITIONtothe presentrulingforces."(Blacktype mine.)(,'WorldNewsandViews"is theorganoftheThirdInternational.)

Mr.Pritt'sargumentisthatthepeopleofGreatBritainhavetochoose betweencapitulationtoHitlerandthe enduranceoftheirpresentsufferings. Thoughatpresenttheyshownosign ofgivingin,Mr.Prittthinksthat,as theirsufferingsincrease,theymaybe readytoacceptthealternativeofcapitulation.IftheGovernmentrefuses tocapitulate,itwouldbereplacedby a"People's,"i.e.,aCommunist,Governmentwhichwouldmakepeacewiththe Nazis.

Hitlerseemstoholdthesameview.

Sincethewarbegan,thousandsof Britishsoldiersandsailorshavegiven theirlivestodefendtheircountry againstthehorrorsofNazityranny; thousandsofwomenandchildrenhave beenmurderedormaimedandrendered homelessbyNazibombsandmachine guns.YetpeoplelikeMr.Prittwould takeadvantageofthisverysufferingto intensifytheclasswar,dividethenation,incitethepeopletorevoltin ordertoleadthemtomakepeace withthemonsterwhohasdelugedEuropeinfireandblood.

Moreblack-heartedtreacherywould bedifficulttoconceive.Yetthatis theprogrammeoftheCommunist Party.AsChurchillgentlyhintedto WilliamGallacher,theCommunist M.P.,thesepeoplearesimplythe "pawnsandutensilsofaForeign Power."

Itisnecessarytoinsistonthesefacts becauseitishighlyprobablethatour localCommunistswillendeavourto stageasimilar"People'sConvention" inAustraliaintheneartuture;possibly towardstheendofthisyear.

The"TrojanHorse."

Ifitwasnota'Communistaffair,why allthecamouflage?

TheCommunistshaveadoptedthe artofcamouflageasanessentialpart oftheirtactics.Theycannothopeto winpopularsupportbyappearingin theirtruecolours;sotheydonot hesitatetousefalsecoloursandfalse pretences.Followingthedictumof Leninto"buildCommunismwithnonCommunisthands,"or,inotherwords, togetotherstodothedirtyworkfor them,theRedstrytopenetrateall sortsofcharitable,social,religiousand industrialorganisations,andthenuse themasacloakfortheirpropaganda, andsubversiveactivities.

White-AntingtheA.R.P.

Hereisaninstanceinpoint.On Wednesday,March19,attheMaccabeanHall,Darlinghurst,therewasa "public"meetingonAirRaidPrecautions."

ThechiefspeakerswereMr.E. ThorntonandMrs.DianaGould.

Mr.Thorntonwasamemberofthe CentralCommitteeoftheCommunist PartyofAustralia,whichwassuppressedlastyear,butcontinuesits treacherousworkunderground.Atthe meeting,however,Mr.ThorntonappearedastheGeneralSecretaryof theFederatedIronworkersofAustralia.Afterexchangingknowingglancesandsmirkswiththe"Comrades"in thehall,heproceededtoexplainthat air-raidshelterswereneededfor"socialist,"i.e.,Communist,peopleand theirchildren;andthencleverlyindulgedinthefavouriteCommunist pastimeofintensifyingtheclasswar.

Mrs.DianaGouldwaslikewiseawellknownCommunist.Butatthemeetingsheappearedasthe"DeputyChief WardenoftheSurryHillsBranchof theWomen'sAuxiliarySchemeofNationalEmergencyService."(Thatis camouflagewithavengeance.)

Correct. WouldyousaythattheRedswereresponsibleforthem?

1wouldsaythattwoclassesofpeoplewereresponsibleforthem:profiteersandracketeersontheonehand, andtheRedsontheother.

Inthisfield,theaimoftheCommunistPartyseemstobethreefold: (1)ToembarrasstheGovernmentand creatediscontent;(2)therebytointensifytheclass-struggleinpreparation forviolentrevolution;(3)toworm themselvesintokeypositionsinthe N.E.S.forthesamedisruptivepurpose.

(Atthemeetingabovementioned, Mrs.DianaGouldexplainedthather auxiliaryscheme"dovetailed"withthe officialschemesponsoredbytheGovernment.)

Hereisacableitemwhichwaspub- lishedintheSydney"Sun,"issueof December17,1940: 'ThewarningtoCommunistagitatorsinBritain,utteredinGlasgowby theLabourMinister(Mr.Sevin),was basedonofficialdiscoveries,saysthe 'DailyTelegraph'

Inordertolaysoundplans,Father Royfeltthatheshouldhavefirst-hand information;hehadtohavethe"know" and"feel"oftheenvironmentsoto speak.So,outhewentintothatone, great"mecca"wheresomuchcanbe seenandheardifonebutopensone's eyesandears:FatherRoywentinto thestreetsoftheslums.

Soonhiswasafamiliarfigure-the thin,black-robedmissionercouldbe foundalmostanytime,notintheRectoryofSt.Pierre,butinpoolhalls, smallcafes,oncorners,inpublicparks, alongthewaterfrontandneartherailroadyards.Always,hiscompanions werethesonsoflabourers,youthsclad inpatchedclothing,hungry,hard-boiled.Always,theconversationswere thesame:heseemedtobeforeveraskingquestions.Whoareyou?Where doyouwork?Wheredoyoulive?

Intheyears1937-38theJocistAssistanceServicehandledsome10,000to 15,000casesofjuveniledelinquency, policecourtcases,etc.Ofthisfigure, itisestimatedonthebestofauthoritythatonlysome2to10percentof theyoungpeoplehandledcouldnot beconqueredfromtheirwrongways.

Wecannowappreciatethemeaning ofthewords"livingbymusic."Letus applyallthistohimwhowouldlive byfaith.

FirsttoKnowHim.

Themostfundamentalquestionwe canaskourselvesiscontainedinthe firstchapteroftheCatechism:"Why didGodcreateme?"

"Godcreatedmetoknow,love,and serveHimhereonearth,sothatImay behappywithHimforalleternityin Heaven."

Firstinordercomestheknowledgeof GodForhowcanweloveHimifwe donotknowHimandwhatHe teaches?FromtheknowledgeofHim willcomelove,andlovewillbegeta willingservice. ItwasCardinalNewman'shopefor Universitymenandwomenthatthe learnedshouldgrowdevout,andthat thedevoutshouldbecomelearned.His ownlifeandwritingswerealivingout ofthatprinciple.

TheChristianDoctrinewetaught youinourschoolswasneverintended toequipyoutomeetthechallengeto yourFaithinyouracademicandpro- fessionalcontacts.Ouraiminschool wastogiveyousufficientknowledge tomakeyouinterestedandcurious. Yourmindswerenotmatureenough thentograspthescientificapologiafor theFaiththatisinyou.TheApologeticswegaveyouintheLeaving classessentyouintolecturehallsand consultingroomsforewarned,andthe shockofcriticismsoftheChurchwas deflectedandlessenedbythefactthat youwerehalfexpectingthem.

Thepersonwholivesbymusicisnot contentwiththeelementaryknowledgeofscalesandtheorywhichhe learnedasachild.Thepersonwho wouldlivebyfaithcannotallowhis professionalreadingtoadvancewhilehe addsnothingtotheknowledgeofhis faithabovewhathelearnedatschool. Whatyoulearnedatschoolsoonfades, leavingonlyaresidueofdyingembers inthemind.Youmustblowupon thosedrowsycoalsthroughreading, discussion,andmeditation.

2.CultivateaCatholicTruthSociety pamphlethabit.Thereisapamphlet foreverydifficultythatcomesyour way.Read,andannotate,andstore theseexcellentbooklets.

3.Nourishtheidealofteachingyourselftothinkinyourreligionbyasking yourselfthewhyandwhereforeofall yousayandseeanddointhepractice ofyourFaith.

4.Joinoneofthediscussiongroups withintheNewmanSocietyandkeep themactivebyvoicingyourdifficulties.

AnAppreciationoftheFaithasGod's BestGift.

Themusician'sloveandappreciation ofmusicissacrificial.Similarly,to "livebyfaith"presupposesanddemandsthatIhaveadueappreciation ofthepreciousnessandvalueoffaith; thatIclearlyandfullyrealisethatit isGod'sbestgifttoman,infinitely morevaluabletohimthanbrain-power, wealth,goodhealth,orevenlifeitself. Itwasthisvividrealisationofthe valueoffaiththathasmadesaintsout ofsinners,andthathasmovedso manytopartwithworldlygoods,to allowhealthtobeunderminedand shatteredinnoisomeandsqualiddungeons,andtogiveuplifeitself,even intheflowerofyouth,andinmost frightfultorments,ratherthansurrender,barter,compromise,endangeror denytheFaith.Theywholiveby faithunderstand,withouttheshadow ofadoubt,thetruthofSt.Paul's wordsinhisEpistletotheHebrews: "WithoutFaithitisimpossibleto pleaseGod."

ImayhaveallthewealthofanAmericanmillionaire, Imayhavethewisdomofthepoets, Imayhavetheknowledgeofthe scientists, Imayhavethespanoflifeofthe Patriarchs, Andyet,ifIhavenotaloveofthe Faithandallitstandsfor,Iamnot pleasinginthesightofGod.

Thejustmanwholivesbyfaithhas anineradicableappreciationofit,deep andstrongaslife.Heisconvinced thatthisgiftisofsuchtranscendant valuethatitmustbepreservedatany cost.Thatconvictionunderliesthose decisions,whichtohumanvaluesseem eccentricandunbalanced,butwhich hasdeterminedsuchgiftedmenasSt. AlphonsusLigouriandSt.Francisde Salestoforegotheprospectofbrilliant careers.Bothsprangfromnoble stock;bothwereendowedwithunusual talents,bothweremenofculture,refinement,andgoodbreeding.St.FrancisdeSaleswasthemostdistinguished prizemanattheUniversityofParis inhisday.Hereatthecentreof Europeanlearningaspectacularcareer awaitedhim.Itspurpleprospectshe putfromhim.St.AlphonsusLigouri wasthemosttalked-aboutyounglawyerinNaples.Skilfulandbrilliant, hisrisewasmeteoricandafuturethat woulddazzlethemindofanyyoung lawyerlayathisfeet.

MakingAllWorkersClassConsciousinChrist

THEChurchteachesrightlythat CapitalandLabourshouldcollaborateinthebuildingupofa newsocialorder.TheChurch,moreover,teachesthatallclassesshould co-operateinthestruggleforjustice.

Inotherwords,theChurchteaches thatitisthedutyoftheseveralmet* barsoftheseveralclassestoobeythe morallaw,torespecthumanrightsand thehumanpersonandthehumansoul -inshort,toobeyGodandHismoral law.

Itisofsupremeimportancetolook intothisteachingandtoseewhatit implies,toseewhatitdoesnotimply, inourownday,toseewhatpointsof contactandconflictexistbetreenthe Catholicteachingcnsocialclassesand theCommunistviewoftheClassWar. Catholics,ofcourse,rejectthenotion ofclass-warinsofarasitconnotesthe ideaofdesirablesocialconflictfrom whichtheMarxistUtopiaistoemerge coveredinbloodandhorror.ButCatholicsdonotdenythatinapagan societytheredoesexistafouland abominableconflictofoneclassagainst another.NordoCatholicscontend thatforthiswarworkersandtheworking-Oassaretoblame.

Indeed,notwithstandingthefact thatPopeLeotheThirteenth'sLetter onLabouriscalledtheEncyclicalon "TheConditionoftheWorkingClasses,"

"Towardsthecloseofthenineteenth centurytheneweconomicmethods andthenewdevelopmentofindustry hadsprungintobeinginalmostall civilisednations,andhadmadesuch headwaythathumansocietyappeared moreandmoredividedintotwoclasses.

Itisthereforerighttoacknowledge theexistenceoftheworking-classand thetactoftheconflictorwarofclasses. Itisgoodtobeproudofbelongingto theworking-class. Indeed,ifwefollowtheleadof CanonJosephCardijn,Catholicswill makeallworkersclass-consciousin Christ.Theywill,sotospeak,baptise theconceptandtheloyaltyofworkerstotheirclass.Andtheywillmake oftheworking-class,notaninstrument ofcivilwar,butaholyarmyfighting notforselfishclassinterests,butfor justiceinasacredcrusade.-'"Catholic Worker."
