The differ*
ence between
American world
policy and Rus
sian world poli
cy u this:
America be
lives in Europe
first hence the
Marshall Plan.
Russia believes
in Asia first
hence the war
in Korea, the conquest of China
and Tibet.
We are not the least interested
in politics, but we are tremendous
ly interested in peace and the sal
vation of souls. From this point
of view, we believe Russia Is right
in stressing Asia first. Asia has
1/3 of the earth's surface and
2 3 of the earth's population.
Lenin once said: “The shortest
route to Paris passes through
Peking** By this he meant that
whatever happens to Asia, happens
to Europe.

by Bishop Fulton J. Sheen-------------------
If Stalin would destroy Europe
by destrovmg Asia it is true from
a missionary point of view that
by saving Asia we save Europe
and even America Over half the
population of Asia is earning less
than a $100 a year. That income
is decreasing under Communism!
Europe has received billions and
billions of dollars for the Marshall
Plan can not the Holy Father find
thousands and thousands of dollars
for the Worldmission Plan to build
schools, heal the sick, cure the
lepers, house the aged and educate
young and old in the moral life of
Christ?
Last year the per capita con
tribution of all the Catholics of
the world to the Holy Father’a
Missions was the unbelievably low
sum of 2 cents two cents per
man, woman and child’.
In the United States hundreds
of thousands could do without a
luxury, or send a raise in salary,
or the equivalent of a hairdo, or
what is spent on cigarettes and
cocktails a year.
There is no charity like spread
ing the Faith and saving souls
One soul is wnrih more than the
universe!
God Love You to E.D who had
saved $29 toward the plane fare
for a trip hut thought the Blessed
Mother could use the money to
better advantage for the Missions
.... God Love You to who
writes. “We have all been looking
forward to a raise in pay in the
army and now that it is here, I
want to offer my first month's
increase ($14 25) tn the Holy
Fathers Missions” God

Penniless Refugees Get Aid
From Migrant LoenFund
Jtiet Established In Rome
ROME—(NC)—The International
Catholic Migrant Loan Fund has
just been established in the inter
est of refugees emigrating to for
eign countries.
The foundation is designed to
assist refugees—in the wide sense
of the term-wishing to “establish
themselves in new homes outside
of their present country of resi
dence or temporary stay." It will
operate only through “recognized
national or international Catholic
agencies, approved by their re
spective hierarchies, engaged in
the emigration of migrants and
refugees.
Chief purpose of the fund is to
assist individual refugees who
may be able to obtain visas for
various countries, by providing
their transportation on a loan
basis. Ixians will be repaid to the
fund through national or interna
tional agencies in the countries of
destination. The ?und Is non profit
and its resources will continue to
be used for its main purpose by
the organizations composing It,
namely the International Catholic
Migration Commission and War
Relief Services- National Catholic
Welfare Conference.
Supplements PICMMf
How the fund will function was
explained by Msgr. Andrew P.
Landi. its general sc etary. He
said that in addition to the larger
group migrations which continue Io
hr handled by PR MME (Provision
al Intergovernmental Committee
nf the Movement of Migiants from
Europe), there are many thousands
of persons who remain as individ
uals These may be the dependents
of refugees aheady established
abroad, or other individuals not
embraced in the work of PR MME.
Such a person may have friends
nr other relatives in a country to
which he wishes to go, Monsignor
Landi said and he may he able to
obtain a visa but may lack the
funds necessary for the voyage. He
may also then apply, not to the
general headquarters hut to the na
tional agency in the country where
he is. for a loan covering his ex
pensex
Monsignor Landi explained the
relation of the problem and the
people in whose interest this funa
has heen established to the
PH MME operation. PICMMF! he
said, works on a governmental lev
el and transports migrants in larg
er groups free of charge. It cares
for persons whom the various gov
ernments have selected and chos
en as eligible for immigration to
their respective countries The
Migrant Loan Fund is intended to
assist those individuals who for
one reason or another have not
heen included in this arrangement

THI CAT
Reds Release
Two Spanish
Nuns In China
Sentenced To Prison On
Charges Of ‘Murdering
1600 Orphan Children'
HONG KONG—(NC)—Two Span
ish nuns nf the Sisters of Mercy of
Berritz. who were sentenced to
prison terms by a Chinese com
munist court in Wuhu last Christ
mas Eve for "killing 1.600 children
in their orphanage,” have been re
leased and depbrted over the Hong
Kong border.
The nuns are 55-year-old Sister
Mercedes Isasi of Bilbao, and Sis
ter Teresa Elorduy of Munguia, 41.
Release of the nuns emphasized
the complete insincerity of the
communist officials in the charges
they make against the missionaries
and the true purpose of the cam
paign of vilification.
The Spanish nuns were arrested
in August, 1951, after a public ac
cusation meeting had condemned
them “in absentia" of being re
sponsible for the deaths of aban
doned infants in the orphanage
Numerous other "accusation meet
ings” have been staged throughout
China to blacken the missionaries’
reputation, in accordance with in
structions issued hy the commun
ist central government.
The Sisters were held incom
municadn in prison During Octo
ber Sister Isasi became seriously
ill. The doctor told the prison of
ficials that the nuns required bet
ter food than was served the
jail or they would die. Fearing he
would he held personally responsi
ble for the death of the nuns, the
doctor insisted that food be
brought lo them from the mission.
Thereafter the Sisters daily receiv
ed not only European food, hut al
so the Holy Eucharist, which was
concealed in the food.
On Dec. 24, the Sisters of Mercy
were led chained and roped to
gether through the streets of
Wuhu to the city court where Sis
ter Isasi was sentenced to four
years' imprisonment, and Sister
Elorduy to three.
On their return to jail, the nuns
were placed in the same cell. Pre
viously each Sister had been w atch
ed by a woman spy who was put
in the cells to report on them.
They were given the clothes of
jail employees to wash and mend.

The nuns were apparently in
good health when they reached
Hong Kong Four foreign Sisters
of their Congregation are still
working in Wuhu. One is able to
run a dispensary for the poor.

Red Chinese Torture Leaves
Marks On Ousted Missioners
HONG KONG (NC) Five mis
sionaries ousted two weeks ago by
the Chinese communists are still
trying to recuperate her? from the
brutal torture inflicted on them
during their long imprisonment.
The ousted priests are the Revs.
Maurice Kavanagh, Irish Vincen
tian, and Joseph Schyns. Ulric Le
brun. Albert Van Lierde and Karel
De Ryck, all Belgian Immaculate
Heart of Mary Fathers. They were
arrested in the mass seizure of mis
sionaries in Peking on July 25.
1951.
The release of these priests has
now emptied the Verbist House in
Peking, which was turned into a
jail for foreign and Chinese priests
in the middle of last year. Twenty
or more Religious w ere held there
at one time. The missionaries
were forced to remain sleepless
for weeks on end, deprived of food
and drink, and constantly molested
by their guards. Some were physi
cally abused to the point of com
plete collapse.
The maltreatment began within
the first week of their detention,
to force them to admit that they
w'ere “spies” and “secret agents."
Fifty-three-year-old Father De
Ryck conjectured that he spent 20
days without sleep.
Father Kavanagh, his arms tied
behind his back, was forced to re
main standing for four days with
out moving. Four times Father
Kavanagh fell unconscious during
his interrogations. His legs, still
scarred to his knees, were open
and running sores from kicks and
long weeks of standing.
Fathers De Ryck, Van Lierde
and Lebrun were beaten more than
10 times each with leather straps,
ropes, and sticks and clubbed on

of the three priests was given "an

tween their knees and elbows.
Then they were suspended on a
pole. When Father Lebrun cried
out under this treatment the
guards stuffed rags into his mouth.
Father Van Lierde's hands became
powerless for months. Unable to

“HAVE PITY, AT~LEAST~Yoij, MY FRIENDS”
How often this cry must rise to earth from the suffering souls in

so when you write us. ask about the practice of holding your Gregorian
Mass offerings tn suspense for yourself.

OUR LADY'S FEAST
Tbit is a picture of Sister Bernard, a
novice with the Sister* of the Rosar? in
Palestine. The treat St. Bernard, after
whom she is named, has been justly
called "the songster of Mary," for heauti*
ful indeed are his writings about Our
Lady. On Oetober 7 we commemorate
Our Lady’s Rosary. Can we do it In any
better way than to help Sister Bernard of
the Rosary? She will need 5300 for her
two years* training. After that abe will
go off into some deaert village, live in a
mud hut hardly to be dignified as a con
vent, and bring God’s love to little chil
dren. Can you make her your own adopt
ed daughter? Oar Lady will surely love
you for it.
