BeforeaCatholicmayreceiveadispensationfromtheBishoptomarry anon-Catholic,theChurchhasmade itaconditionthatthenon-Catholic partyshouldreceiveatleastsomeinstructionintheCatholicFaithbefore themarriage.Thisisnotunreasonable.IftwoyoungpeoplearetobegintheirlifetogetherwiththenonCatholicpartyatleastknowingjust whatCatholicsdobelieveandwhy theyfollowthewayoflifetheydo, thenthereisfarmorehopeofanunderstandingonthesedeepestthingsin life,andagreaterguaranteethatthe; marriagewillbeahappyone,forthei ownandfortheirchildren'ssake.There isnocompulsionwhatsoeveronthe non-Catholicpartytochangethes ownbelief,andasIhavesaid,thetalks thatheorshehaswiththePriestprior tothemarriageatleastshouldhelptowardsagreaterunderstandingofthose thingsthatone'spartnerholdssosacred.

SikorskiWantsPermanentFriendship andCo-operationWithRussia

Nothingseemsmoreunprofitablejust nowthanspeculationregardingthe factsoftheKatynForestmassacre, saidthe"Onlooker,"Mr.D.G.M. Jackson,M.A.,broadcastingduringthe MelbourneCatholicHour.Obviously,noneutralobserverisinaposition togiveanobjectivestatementbased onevidenceswhicharefreefromsuspicion.

Sofar,wehavenotheardmuchof thePolishsideinthisquestion,Poland beinglessfortunatelysituatedthan Russiainthematterofinternational propaganda.Whenweconsider,however,thebackgroundofthepresent dispute,andtherelationsoftheSoviet GovernmentandPolanduptillless thantwoyearsago,theattitudeofthe SikorskiGovernmentbecomesexplicable.

Ifyouwillthrowyourmindback to1939youwillrememberthatthe guaranteeofPolishneutralitybyGreat Britainwasfollowedbyatreaty ofagreementnegotiatedbetweenVon RibbentrocionbehalfofGermany,and M.MolotovfortheSovietUnion.The invasionofPolandbytheGermans, whichopenedthepresentstruggle, wasshortlyafterfollowedbyacorrespondingmovementfromtheother side,whentheRedArmymarched intoPoland,whichwasthenfighting desperatelyforitslife.ThePolish Statewasextinguished,anditwas atthetimeofitsextinctionthatthe SikorskiGovernmentwasformed-by alegitimatecommissionsignedbythe lastpresidentoffreePolandonPolishsoil-totakeovercontrolofPolishaffairs.

Whenanarticlein"Izvestia"accuses "theEmigreGovernment"ofhaving beenhostiletotheSoviet"fromthe firstdayofitsexistence,"itseems onlyfairtorecallthattheRussianoccupationofportionofPolandhadbeen forceduponthePoles,notsoughtby them.

DuringtheperiodofGerman-Russian collaborationthepartofPolandunder SovietcontrolwascertainlynottreatedasthecountryofafriendlyPower undertemporaryoccupation-itspeopleweresubjectedtoRussianrule,A ,argePolishpopulationwassentaway tovariousRussiancentres,andthe tuationofthesePolishnationalshas beenacauseofconsiderabledifficulty betweenthePolishandSovietGovernmentssincetheofficialchangeofrelationscausedbyHitler'sinvasionof Russia.

Noonewantstorecalltheunhappy memoriesofaperiodofthewarnow over,continuedthe"Onlooker,"buthe founditsomethingofaparadoxthat theleadersofPoland,whohavefought steadilyonbehalfoftheircountry's freedomandrefusedtocompromise uponajotortittleofherrightful claimsandfrontiers,shouldbeaccused of"Hitlerism"bythosewhoassisted HitlertodestroythePolishStatein

Finally,iftheformalalliance betweenRussiaandPolandconcluded in1941hadnotbeenfollowedbyafull re-establishmentofgoodwill,thecause istobesoughtlargelyinRussia'sintention,expressedinSovietorgans,to demandafrontierwhichwillrestoreto Russiamost,ifnotall,oftheregions occupiedbyherin1939,leavingthe PolishStatediminishedandweakenedbythelossofabouthalfitsterntory.Addedtothishasbeenthereassertionoftheold"Pan-Slav"claims ofCzaristdayswithregardtoEastern Europeasawhole,whoseeffectshave

"Theanswertothisquestion,"hereplied,"issimpleforanyonewhowatchedthedevelopmentofPolish-Russian relationsinthelasttwenty-oddyears.
