posed the policy of a uniform sys
tem of education for youth and
termed religious school educa
tion “divisive.”
The priest recalled that he
lived for two years in Soviet Rus
sia and witnessed the application
of materialistic and atheistic com
munist sociology. He reminded that
Marxian communism now controls
sortie 800,000,000 persons in Eu
rope and Asia—a third of the hu
man race.
Educators Reckless
He said the educators who re
cently attacked private schools in
this country were “reckless and
lacking in historical perspective.”
“These short-sighted moles.” he
added, “would require all children
to be enrolled in state schools
where religion is excluded and sec
ular subjects alone may be taught.
“They would deprive parents.
Catholic, Protestant and Jew, of
their inalienable rights to safe
guard the faith of their fathers by
enrolling their offspring in com
petent schools of the parents’ own
choice,” he continued.
“This un-American worship of
the state and this narrow subjec
tion of its citizens to the abritrary
dictates of a state-defined absolute
in education is precisely what Hit
ler did in Germany as a prelude to
his attempted world revolution
through nazi totalitarianism.
“They would have the American
people imitate what Soviet Russia
has so successfully done to the
minds and souls of martyred Rus
sian children and is now imposing
on the satellite lands.
“They would have you forget or
repudiate the wise counsel of
Thomas Jefferson on the relation
betweefi an elected govern
ment and the sovereignty of the
people: ‘Tell your agent what he
can do and what he cannot do then
watch him’.”

UN Is Asked
To Recognize
Amite Need For Adequate
Housing Im Strewed By
Catholic Social Worker
UNITED NATIONS (NC)
Recognition of family rights in the
proposed Covenant on Human
Rights has been urged here by a
Catholic spokesman.
The economic and social rights
of the human person as such are
likewise his rights in his capacity
and function as a member of a
family, Mrs. Aliys D. Vergara, con
sultant for the Catholic Interna
tional for Social Service, told a
meeting of the U N. Commission
on Human Rights.
Mrs. Vergara stressed particu
larly the individual right to ade
quate housing. This right, she said,
“should be explicitly related to the
right of the family, of whatever
size, to housing adapted to the
needs and functions of family life.”
Shortage Is Global
“This is necessary for both the
physical and moral welfare of the
family,” she went on, “and we feel
the Commission’s explicit recogni
tion of this fact is of immeasur
able importance, especially in view
of the problems which today are
posed almost universally as
suit of
ing.”

world social situation which esti

less developed areas need better
housing. The housing deficit in in
dustrially advanced countries is es
timated at 30.000,000 family-dwell
ing units.
She further expressed the view
that individual rights to adequate
living and health standards
“should also be interpreted as re
lating to the family unit.”
“We understand.” Mrs. Vergara
concluded, “that the state in recog
nizing these rights in no way as
sumes the responsibilities of the
family, but is rather making pro
visions for the securing of such
family rights as could not other
wise be secured, thereby enabling
the family to fulfill its responsi
bilities as well as its function in
the duties to society, and guaran
teeing its security as the natural
and best milieu for the normal,
healthy and fruitful development
of the individual.”
