Theapostolateofindividualsisessential-thewinningofindividualsouls onebyonebythecontactofindividual onindividualusingeverymeansof ChristiancharitytodrawsoulstoGod. Butequallyessentialistheapostolate ofinstitutions,forinoneofhismost importantannouncementsPopePius XIinsistedthatCatholicActionis"a socialapostolate."

Inthemodernworldtheimportance ofthisaspectcannotbeoveremphasised.TheIdeasandinstitutionsof themodernworldarecompletelypagan, andifleftunalteredmustpermanently frustratetheeffortsofthosewhowish tomaketheChristianlifethenormal thing,notforarelativelyfewindividuals,butforthemasses,

Forthesocialorderisnotentirely madeupofindividualsnowliving.It ismadeupofinheritedattitudes whichhavecomedownfromgeneration togenerationthroughcustoms,laws, institutionsandtheseexistinlarge measureindependentlyofindividuals nowliving.Changetheindividuals andyoudonotofnecessitychangethe socialorder,unlessyouorganisethese changedindividualsintocollectiveactioninawidescalefrontalattackupon thesecorporateevils."

Thesocialaspectoftheapostolate oftheRuralMovementissummedup intheobjectivescontainedinitsprogrammewhichitholdsoutasthe solutiontothedifferentaspectsofthe ruralproblem.ItisnecessarytoemphasisethattheN.C.R.M.hasnoprogrammeinthesensethatapolitical partyhasaprogramme.TheN.C.R.M. isnomorethanaweaponinthehands offarmers,composedofthefarmers themselves,withwhichtoconfront whateverproblemstheymayfaceat anygivenmoment.Inthissense,the programmeoftheN.C.R.M.inahundredyearstimemightvarytoatremendousextentfromtheprogramme whichithasto-day,forconceivably, theproblemstobefacedmightbeentirelydifferent.

To-day,however,theprogrammeof theRuralMovementinthesocial sphererevolvesaboutfivepolicies:

(1)IndependentFarming.

(2)ThespreadofCo-operationto everypossiblesphere.

(3)ThereformofRuralEducation.

(4)Thedisseminationofthebest technicalmethodsinagriculture.

(5)TheRevivaloftheRuralHome.

I.INDEPENDENTFARMING.

TheRuralMovement'sadvocacyof IndependentFarmingisaimeddirectlyattheeconomicconsequencesof

LAND

specialisedCommercialFarming,the evilresultsofwhichhavebeenalready described;andindirectly,butprofoundly,atthewholeproblemofthe Australianruralmentality,oftheoutlookoftheaverageAustralianfarmers towardstheirland.ThetermIndependentFarmingisnewly-coined,and itisanattempttolinkupthetechnicalpoliciesinvolvedindiversified farmingwiththedesireforpersonalindependencewhichistneobjectiveand indeedthevery"raisond'etre"ofthe Catholicattitudetotheland.

SpecialisedFarminghasalready beendefined.Itisthefarmingpolicywhichregardsthelandassomethingtobeexploitedbythecontinual productionofoneortwocropsforthe overseasmarket.Thefarmisnotregardedprimarilyasthesourceofthe familyfoodsupply.Thisistobe purchasedwiththemoneyincomederivedfromtheannualcheque.Itis clearthatthereisnodifferencebetween thissortoffarmandthefactoryin whichrawmaterialsareprocessedfor transformationintomanufacturedarticlesforsale.

TheexactoppositeofSpecialised FarmingisSubsistenceFarming.The objectivehereisfortheproduction onlyoffamilyfoodsupplyandforthe productionofthefamily'sclothing fromthefarmitself.

IndependentFarming,whichisadvocatedbytheRuralMovement,is neithertheonenortheother.Itis themiddlewaybetweenthetwo.Its objectivesaretwofold:

iiThatthefarmshouldprimarilyhe regardedasthegranaryfromwhich allthefamilyfoodisproduced.This shouldbethefirstobjectivewhich thefarmfamilywouldsetitselfso that,whatevertheeconomicvicissitudesoftheoutsideworld,there wouldalwaysbealivingforthefamilyfromtheland.

(ii)Tosecurethemoneyincomewhich thefamilywillneedforeducation andtheothernecessitieswhichcannotbeproducedonthefarmitself, thefamilywilldiversifytheproductionofthefarmasfaraspossibleso thattherewillhemoneycomingin allthetime.

TheadvantagesofIndependentFarm ingovertheothertwosystemsareobvious.Theanti-ruralatmosphereof CommercialFarmingisovercomewhen thefarmisregardednotasachattel tobeexploitedformoney,butasthe verygranaryfromwhichthefoodof thefamilycomes.Thusthereisimportedinourattitudetothelandthat CatholicandEuropeantradition whichhasfoundedapermanentagricultureintheOldWorld.Onthe otherhand,byaiminginadditionat aregularmoneyincome,provisionis madetoenablethefamilytobetter itspositioneconomically,andtomake thelandattractivetothechildrenbecauseitpromisestangiblereturns whichallowittocompete,eventothe superficialeve,withthefinancialallurementsoftheCity.

Thosewhoareacquaintedwiththe traditionalpracticesofAustralianagriculturewillhavenoillusionsastothe immensityofthetaskwhichthe N.C.R.M.hasundertakeninthismatter.Thementalrevolutionwhich hastobeaccomplishedistremendous, anditiscertainthatwithoutthebasic spiritualobjectiveoftheRuralMovementtheeffortwouldbefutileItwas this,nodoubt,thatHis6racethe ArchbishopofMelbournehadinmind

whenhetoldthedelegatesatthelast NationalConventionoftheN.C.R.M. thattheywereonlyatthebeginning ofalongroadofwhichtheywouldnot seetheend.For,indeed,onlythe mostincorrigibleandunrealisticoptimistwouldexpectthechangefrom thecommercialtotheindependentattitudetowardsthelandtoassume nationalproportionsinlessthanone ortwohundredyears.Thisveryrealisationhasactedasadeterrentto somewhowouldotherwisehavebegun toplaytheirpartinthenascentrural revolutionforthenaturalinstinctis todemandaremedywhichismoreimmediate,more"practical."'Thetruth is,ofcourse,thatanylesserobjective wouldbefatal,foritwouldignorethe canceratworkintherurallifeofAustralia,andcontentitselfwithpalliatives.

Lesserandmoreimmediateobjectivestheremusthe-thatgoeswithout sayingandtheyfindtheirplaceinthe programmeoftheN.C.R.M.-butthey mustbeseenagainstthebackground ofthegreatdoctrineofIndependent Farming,thepolicywhich,inpresent dayAustralianconditions,alonecan bringabouttherevivalofthemind whichwillregardthelandassacred. Furthermore,whetherwebeginto-day orinfiftyyearstime,thesolutionis stillonetobemeasuredindecades andcenturies-andifwedelayeven tenyearstheChristiansolutionmay havebecomecompletelyimpossible,for therearealreadyAustralianeconomists,towhomGovernmentsinvariablylendareadyear,urgingthe adoptionoftheRussiansystemof Statefarmsasthelogicalendof CommercialFarming.

Therearedifficulties,however,ofa temporalnaturewhich,materially speaking,willinvolveatremendouseffortiftheyaretobesolved.The firstistheproblemofexistingdebts, andthesecondistheproblemof water,forthesefactorshavebecome thematerialdeterminantsofAustralianagriculturalpolicy,andanyprogrammewhichdidnottaketheminto accountwouldbedoomedtofailure.
