For they alone, in answer to an inward supernatural call havfe entered the august minis try, where they are assigned to service in the sanctuary and become, as it were, the instru ments God uses to communicate supernatural life from on high to the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ. Let all then who would live in Christ flock to their priests. By them they will be supplied with the comforts and food of the spiritual life. From them they will procure the medicine of salvation assuring their cure and happy recovery from the fatal sickness of their sins. The priest, finally, will bless their homes, consecrate their families and help them, as they breathe their last, across the threshold of eternal happiness. From the Encyclical "Mediator Dei" of Pius XII Labor Party Gains Ground In Holland Catholic Moderates Lose Seats As Rightist Group Splits The Vote THE HAGUE—(Radio, NC)—Con trary to general expectations, the Catholic People’s Party has lost its strength at the Netherlands gen eral elections. The Labor Party emerged as the strongest political group in the country. Both will have 30 each of the 100 seats in the lower chamber of the Netherlands “Staten Generaal” (parliament). This is a loss of two for the People’s Party, and a gain of three for the Laborites. On a percentage basis, the num ber of votes cast for People’s Par ty candidates declined from 31.04 jer cent in 1948 elections to 28.67 per cent. On the other hand, the Labor Party votes rose to 25.60 per cent in 1948 to 28.97 this year. The losses of the People’s Party are partly explained by the gains made by the Catholic National Par ty. a rightist group Leaded by Ch. J. I. M. Welter, which now has two seats in parliament and obtained 2.71 per cent of the votes. The gains of the Labor Party, which in its general policy resem bles the British Labor Party, are attributed to the losses of the com munists. The latter declined from 7.74 to 6.16 per cent of the votes cast and will have only six repre sentatives in parliament, a loss of two. Only minor changes have result ed from the elections in the distri bution of the remaining 32 seats tion of the remaining 32 seats dis tributed between four minor par ties. The Catholic People’s Party re mains, however, the strongest po litical group in the upper cham ber, the 50 members of which &ere elected by the provincial councils. The party gained one seat and will be represented by 17 members. Labor has 14 seats in the upper chamber, the Anti-Revolu lutioniaries 7, and the Christian Historical Party 6 seats.

Court Says Labor Must Have Right To Strike MANILA—(NC)—The Supreme Court of the Philippines, in a de cision written by Chief Justice Ric ardo Paras, has upheld the right of workers to strike for better work ing conditions. The decision here is regarded as especially important, since in previous cases the Court has held that if a strike is declared for trivial, unjust or unreasonable cause the tribunal could declare it illegal. In his decision, Chief Justice Paras wrote: “The plea of the laborers for better working conditions and more working days cannot be trivial, unreasonable or unjust.” Labor circles hailed his decision as one of the most important gains of labor in recent years. They said they hoped that the Justice’s “strong and definite words” will encourage union members to stand by their union pledges. (Recently a strike at the branch of National City Bank of New York here was broken by the American manager when he ad vertised for workers to replace those on strike. Out,of fear of los ing their job 180 out of 250 strik ers returned thus breaking the strike.) The Case arose when the Philip pine Oil Industry Workers’ Union struck against Central Vegetable Oil Company.
