In Hong Kong
Church In China Says No
Catholic Bishops Concur
In ‘Germ War’ Charges
LONDON (NC) Catholic
Church sources in Hong Kong dis
pute an assertion by Dr. Hewlett
Johnson. Red Dean of Canterbury,
that four Catholic Bishops in China
support his charges of germ war
fare by the United Nation’s com
mand in Korea.
Dr. Johnson made this assertion
in a pamphlet, which he claims
contains the evidence on which
his germ warfare charges are
based. Included in the “evidence”
is a “Letter from the Chinese
Catholics,” addressed to the dean
and his wife, and dated from
Peking on June 30, 1952.
Attached to the letter is a
“Manifesto of Chinese Catholics,”
which a covering letter claims has
13,755 signatories. The signers al
legedly include “two Bishops, two
Coadjutor Bishops, 141 Fathers,
130 priests, 110 nuns and 13,370
Catholics in different social
circles.”
The Tablet, London Catholic
weekly, queried informed Church
sources in Hong Kong anout the
identity of these Bishops The
paper was informed, it states, that
“no Catholic Bishob has been
known to sign this or any other
of the numerous manifestos cir
culating in China.” The Tablet
adds:
“The Dean would perhaps not
be expected to bring home a roll
with the names of 13,755 Catho
lics, but he might at least have
identified the four Bishops.
“This ‘Manifesto of Chinese
Catholics’ rests itself on the testi
mony of the ‘Rev. T. C. Wang of
the Peking Congregational Church,’
and the Chinese Catholics select
an Anglican Dean as the means of
conveying their indignation to the
world.
“Unexpected examples of Chris
tian cooperation!”
Meanwhile the British parlia
ment has for the time being at
least dropped a motion to remove
the dean from his office.
Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, the Angli
can Archbishop of Canterbury, in
formed the House of Lords that
the Dean’s charges of germ war
fare, however unfounded, do not
violate any civil or ecclesiastical
law and therefore leave him be
yond the reach of discipline or dis
missal.
Whether any other action can be
taken against the Dean is now re
ported under study by the British
Attorney General.

The Sacred Priesthood
The priest is, indeed, both by
vocation and divine commission,
the chief Apostle and tireless
furtherer of the Christian edu
cation of youth in the name of
God, the priest blesses Christian
marriage, and defends its sanct
ity and indissolubility against
the attacks and evasions sug
gested by cupidity and sensual
ity the priest contributes most
effectively to the solution, or
at least the mitigation, of social
conflicts, since he preaches
Christian brotherhood, declares
to all their mutual obligations
of justice and charity, brings
peace to hearts embittered by
moral and economic hardship,
and alike to rich and poor
points out the only true riches
to which all men both can and
should aspire. Finally the
priest is the most valorous lead
er in that crusade of expiation
and penance to which We have
invited all men of good will.
For there is need of reparation
for the blasphemies, wickedness
and crimes which dishonour hu
manity today, an age perhaps
unparalleled in its need for the
mercy and pardon of God.

Dr. Artukovic, former Croatian
Minister of Justice, was arrested
here August 29 on “war crimes’
charges levelled by Tito’s Yugo
slavia. Despite Tito’s alleged
break with the Kremlin, the Com

Tito’s line and labeled him “wax
criminal.”
After the arrest, the Rev. Step

in Washington that Dr. Artukovic

Catholic Groups Warn
Of Rent Control End
WASHINGTON (NC) Rent
control will end in 2,300 commun
ities across the country unless the
communities take positive action
by September 30 to retain controls,
the National Councils of Catholic
Men and Catholic Women have
warned their local units and affil
iated organizations in a joint
memorandum.
“Experience has shown that
where areas have been decontrol
led, rents have risen up to 69 per
cent,” the memorandum said.
“Any serious rise in the cost of
rents throughout the country would
have a harmful effect upon our
economy and more especially upon
the family budget. This will, of
course, affect the standard of living
of the family.”
Take Action
The two national councils urged
their subsidiary and affiliated
groups to take steps to keep rent
confrol in their areas wherever con
ditions warrent retention. This,
the memorandum pointed out,
would “be in keeping with the
principles of Christian social
action.”

does exist in your community—

Praises Catholic
Ireland’s Schools
DUBLIN (NC) An Ulster
Protestant bishop had a word of
praise for the government of Cath

“any system of education divorced
from Christian teaching.”
Speaking at the laying of a
foundation stone of a new Church
of Ireland (Anglican) school in
Donegal, the Rt. Rev. B. R. Mc
Neil, Bishop of Derry, said that
“few countries in the world to
day have an educational system
which rests upon sounder prin
ciples than the system favored
by the Republic of Eire.”
“This State,” he added, “has en
deavored to ensure that children
are educated in schools under the
control of the Church to which
they belong. In doing so, it has
recognized the unalterable truth
that, unless a child has been
taught to be loyal to the faith in
which it is being nurtured, there
can be little expectation that it

Commies Losing
Favor in Europe,
Jesuit Declares
NEW YORK—(NC)—Communist
duplicity and self-serving have re
sulted in weakening communism’s
hold on European wage-earners, a
priest told a social action forum
at the Catholic Interracial Center
here.
"Improvements in economic con
ditions have helped to lessen the
attraction of communism in West
ern Europe,” the Rev. Robert A.
Grahams, S.J., of the Catholic week
ly America, told the forum, “but
the greatest factor in the Red de
cline has been the realization by
workingmen that the communists
have been exploiting them.
“This has been particulary true
in France, where strikes have been
called against the manifest inter
ests of labor itself, solely to serve
the political purposes of
communism.”
Racial Problem
Father Graham, who spent years
reporting the European scene for
America. declared that the prob
lems of Negroes in the United
States are of enormous interest
abroad. To many Europeans, he
said, the practice of racial discrim
ination and segregation in America
are “the weak spot in our moral
and democratic armor.”
Declaring that European com
munists make the most of news of
racial unrest in the United States,
Father Graham said: “It is the
fulcrum of their criticism of ‘bad
morals’ among Americans. It is
the weak link in American pro
paganda because we are unable
to provide a satisfactory explana
tion for it.”
International relations can suffer
from snap judgements by both
sides. Father Graham said, warning
that foreign events and personal
ities must not be interpreted from
a “tourist viewpoint” but from a
broad historical and economic
understanding of the countries
concerned.

Bishops Told Forms, Methods
Must Be In Sacred Tradition
Should Forbid ‘Second Rate Statue’ Production
And Avoid All ^Deceitful Adornments’
VATICAN CITY— (NC) In
accordance with the traditional
principles of the Church govern
ing “sacred art.” the Holy See
has instructed Bishops through
out the world to “severly forbid
second rate and stereotyped statues
and effigies to be multiplied.”
In building new churches, the
Bishops are advised to let them
“be resplendent also for the simple
beauty of their lines,” and to avoid
any deceitful adornment" as well
as anything “that savors of a
neglect of art.”
Sincere Piety
Bishops are futhermore instruct
ed to entrust execution of sacred
works of art “only to men who
are outstanding for their tech
nique. and who are capable of
expressing sincere faith and piety,
which is the purpose of any sacred
art.”
These prescriptions are contain
ed in an “Instruction to Ordinar
ies on Sacred Art” which has
been issued on June 30. 1952, by
the Supreme Sacred Congregation
of the Holy Office, and published
in Osservatore Romano. To
gether with the Latir text, an Eng
lish translation of the document
was made available by Vatican
authorities.
The instruction, which docu
ments the Church’s rules on sacred
art going as far back as the Second
Council of Nicea (787) is under
stood to have been rendered
necessary by the abberations of a
pseudo-sacred art. whose “corrupt
and errant forms" have recently
been reprohated by he Holy See.
It declares:
“Of no moment are the objec
tions raised by some that sacred
art must be adapted to the neces
sities and conditions of the present
times.
“Sacred art, which originated
with Christian society, possesses
its own ends, from which it ean
