12—THE CATHOLIC TIMES Friday, April 22.1955 where else, the graciousness and culture that mark the Catholic life of Brazil. Whether they arrive by plane or boat, the visitors to Rio de Janeiro will be made immediately aware of one of Brazil’s most eloquent monuments to the Catholic Faith —a great stone statue of Christ, one of the largest in the world, that stands with arms upraised on the summit of Corcovado Mountain, dominating the entire harbor and city. Rising more than 2,000 feet above sea level, the statue was built by Brazil’s Catholics to com memorate in 1922 the centenary of Brazilian independence. The Christ of Corcovado will pro vide a background for the July 17 to 24 Eucharistic ceremonies to take place on a huge reclaimed section of Guanabara Bay, which lies close to the Santos Dumont airport. Here has been erected, under a green canopy, an open-air altar around which some 20 Brazilian and foreign Cardinals, and many thousands of Bishops, priests and religious will be joined by throngs IM CtUSAOf" hy the faithful of furop* during Catholic Church.

CRLC Makes Rogation Day Book Availablel DES MOINES, Iowa (NC) A “Rogation Day Booklet for the Parish Observance of the Rogation Days” is avail able, the National Catholic Rural Life Conference has an ounced here. The booklet contains pray ers. blessings, liturgy and the entire Mass (ordinary and proper) in English and Latin for the Rogation Days. It is in tended to help those who cannot attend Mass and participate in the processions, to enter into the spirit of the Church liturgy by following the prayers at home with their families. The Rogation Days, the NCRLC pointed out here, are al ways the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday before Ascension Thursday. This year the dates are May 16, 17, and 18. The word “rogation” comes from the Latin word “rogare” meaning “to ask.” The three Ro gation Days are over 1,500 years old. They began in the fifth cen tury at Vienne, France, when, in the year 470, there had been crop failures due to earthquakes and bad weather—with resulting great food scarcity and destitution. St. Mamertus, Bishop of Vienne, or dered a triduum of prayer and penance on the three days preced ing the Ascension. The clergy and the people made penitential pro cessions calling upon God to help and asking the intercession of His saints. At the end of the eighth cen tury, Pope St. Leo the practice into Church. III introduced the universal the the Rogation mercy of The purpose of Days is to implore God that He may keep us from all evils of soul and body, and give to the plants of the field an increase. o—--------------- Council President Praises Role of Catholic fJolleges ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.—(NC)— Catholic colleges and universities are “very precious and vital in American life and something that cannot be allowed to fall into dan ger,” Wilson Compton, president of the Council for Financial Aid in Education, said here. Speaking to an audience of Ca tholic college and university presi dents at the 52nd annual National Catholic Educational Association convention. Mr. Compton dealt with the subject of financial grants by business corporations to higher ed ucation. Referring to the “vital” work of Catholic institutions of higher learning, Mr. Compton praised them for keeping the teachings of Our Lord in American education and working to prevent the gradual removal of higher education from its moorings in religious beliefs. Mr. Compton said that at a re cant conference of representa tives of 54 big business corpora tions at Arden House in Harri man, N.Y., the participants agreed on a statement saying that grants to higher education are sound business policy and not merely a philanthropic gesture. He also called attention to the recent report of the Council for Financial Aid in Education which indicated that private colleges will need almost $500 million dollars in the next 15 years for additional support, and that at present better than half of the nation’s private colleges and universities are oper ating with a deficit. His Holiness Pope Pius XII sent his Apostolic Blessing to the As sociation during the meeting. -----------------o---------------- Chinese Priests Are Sent To Concentration Camps HONG KONG—(NC)—Two names have been added to the long list of Chinese priests who have been sent to concentration camps by the communist regime.

NEWS SERVICE SAIGON, Vietnam India and Canada have only a little time left in which to save their good name in Vietnam. Their prestige have gone down with that of the International Sup ervisory Commission in which they form a majority. According to the armistice agreement signed in Geneva, the Vietnamese were to be free to move their residence from the communist Vietminh zone of the North to the South, or vice versa. They were to have 300 days in which to choose and move. The international commission of In dian, Canadian and Polish dele gates was created to supervise the fulfillment of this and other armis tice provisions. By the calendar, the 300-day pe riod ends next month. The brutal fact is that there has not been one day of full liberty of movement under the Vietminh in the North. And the commission knows it. Hundreds of Vietnamese have lost their lives trying to leave the North. Others were caught and sentenced to long terms at hard labor. Nearly every refugee village in the South has pitiable fragments of broken families grieving for parent or children seized by the Vietminh on their way out. People who asked for permits to leave have been held up for weeks and browbeaten to make *hem withdraw their ap-» plication. All this has been happening dur ing the 300 days, despite the Ge neva agreement and despite the presence of the international com mission responsible for overseeing its fulfillment. It is the conviction of the Viet namese in general and of every foreigner this correspondent has talked to on the subject, that the commission has failed badly. It has failed particularly regarding the free movement clause. Since last August. Vietminh violations of this clause have been widespread and continuous, form ing the clear pattern of an official policy. The international commis sion, meanwhile, has ignored the publicly known facts, has been slow to act on formal complaints, publicly silent on the majority of the violations, and weak in its few pronouncements. When the commission took ac tion in mid-October to investigate violations of the freedom of move men clause, it was slow and feeble. It has been slow and feeble most of the time since. That has been a time of poignantly urgent value to the people. For instance: In Nghean province, people desiring to depart were obstruct ed and threatened by Vietminh for woeks. On January 13, 12 of them were killed by Vietminh soldiers, according to Vietminh testimony. The French com mand lodged a complaint with Marquette Plans 75th Anniversary Observance MILWAUKEE —(NQ— Marquette University’s 75th anniversary cele bration will start with the June commencement exercises, it was announced this week by the school’s president, Father Edward J. O’Donnell, S. J. The theme of the year-long ob servance will be “The Pursuit of Truth to Make Men Free.” Aca demic conferences, religious ob servances and recognition of lead ers who exemplify the ideals of the university, will mark the cele bration. o----------------- Save time and money by filling your needs through want ads the commission on January 22. The commission did not send an inquiry team until February 2. Their repor' was not published until March 20. The report censured the Viet minh, but included this bewilder ing, typical statement: “The force used (by the Vietminh) was not excessive, but the troops had not been properly briefed and the use of automatic weapons was not jus tified,” The commission is forever insist ing it possesses no executive pow er. But it does possess the power of moral sanctions which it could use by a majority decision. Certainly the Geneva conference is responsible for making the com mission one-third communist.
