Five fears Of Terror In Jail
PLAN NEW
TRAPPIST
MONASTERY
NOVA LISBOA. Angola (NC)
•—Initial preparations for estab
lishing a Trappist monastery
near this city in the heart of
Portugal’s largest African colo
ny, are under way.
In June of this year, Father
Joseph P. McCormack, a Alary-
knoll Missioner, teas released af
ter serving five years in a Red
Chinese prison, and is note re
cuperating from his ordeal. After
spending more than half of his
65 years serving God in the Far
East, Father McCormack was
rewarded by the Reds uith five
years of unimaginable brutal and
unjust treatment. Here for the
first time, in a series of five arti
cles.for the Catholic press, he re
lates the complete story of the
“neiv” China under communism.
(N.C.W.C. News Service)
MARYKNOLL, N. Y. — “The
Chinese communists are clever
lunatics and everybody knows a
clever lunatic is a dangerous
man!”
So spoke Father Joseph P.
McCormack, M.M., of New York,
looking back on his nightmare
of five years in a Chinese com
munist prison.
Gaunt and thin, but his Irish
wit still intact, the 65-year-old
missioner related his experi
ences to fellow priests and
friends “back home” — at the
Maryknoll Seminary, high on
the hill overlooking the Hudson,
where he first left for China 34
years ago.
Relaxed among friends and
fellow classmates, the veteran
missioner recalled completely
the details of his five years of
terror in prison. He discounted
the harried newspaper inter
views he and Father Cyril Wag-

ner, O.F.M., who was also re
leased with him, underwent as
they debarked at Hong Kong
following their release, explain
ing that neither he nor Father
Wagner were in any sort of
physical or mental frame of

tions at that time.
Here for the first time is Fa
ther McCormack’s complete sto
ry of life in communist China.
By Father Joseph P.
McCormack, M.M.
(N.C.W.C. News Service)
Fear is the lifeblood of com
munism. The Reds know that
they can only control as long as
the people are too afraid to re
sist. The Red leaders know that
once the people cease to fear
them, they are finished, for re
volt will surely follow.
That is why Mao has turned
China into one vast slave-labor
camp where it is estimated that
about 100 million people have
been arrested at one time or
another and where it is be
lieved some 35 million are now
in prisons and slave labor
camps.
But regardless of what I say
and write about life in China
today there will be those who
refuse to believe it, and others
who prefer the Red propaganda
line. To know what it’s really
like you have to live there. And
to see communism at its best,
you have to spend some time in
a Red prison . . .
The nightmare began one
morning in December, 1947
shortly after breakfast, when
five armed communist soldiers
entered the house of Father
Maurus Pai, a 70-year-old priest
attached to the Maryknoll mis
sion territory I headed in Man
churia. Without giving any ex
planation, the soldiers ordered
the old priest to accompany
them to their headquarters.
There, despite the frigid Man
churian winter, Father Pai was
stripped of his clothes and
thrown into an unheated prison.
After ten days of torture the
Reds tried him and, naturally he
was convicted and sentenced to
death. He was shot three times
in the back of the head. The
Reds can’t deny this because I
can prove what I say. I know
where the skull of the old priest
is hidden with the three bullet
holes in it.
I knew then that if our young
Chinese seminarians were to
escape torture and possible
death I must move them from
Red-infested Manchuria. We de
cided to set up a temporary base
in Peiping in North China. Af
ter six weeks of effort we man
aged to transfer 28 Chinese Sis
ters and four Chinese priests by
plane to Peiping.
And then came the problem
of our pride and joy, the sem
inary. After the scourge of com
munism would be only a mem
ory in Manchuria, these young
men would be needed as priests.
But I could not arrange for a
plane for the seminarians, 37 in
all. They solved this problem by
immediately volunteering to at
tempt the half a thousand mile
journey from Fushun, Manchu
ria, to Peiping on foot, along re
mote roads after dark.
The young men set out in
three groups. One group of 19
was taken by the communists
on their second day out. They
were held for two weeks for
communist indoctrination, but
I guess the youngsters prayed
their way out for finally they
were released. I had given them
up for lost. I shall never forget-
the thrill I experienced when
the bedraggled contingents shuf
fled in at six o’clock one morn
ing hungry, thirsty, and worn
out from many nights in the
open.
When the communist army
swept all of China some of the
seminarians were captured and
sent back to Manchuria, but
nine managed to escape from
the mainland and eventually
were ordained in Hong Kong.
Today, five of them are working
on the Nationalist island of For
mosa.
This is nothing new in Church
history, for centuries Ireland
smuggled its seminarians to the
continent of Europe for training.
Today, we, too, are preparing
young Chinese priests and Chi
nese Sisters for the time when
we shall return to China.
The constant pressure of the
communists made it necessary
for me to move to Shanghai in
November, 1948. But things
weren’t much better there. For
as the communist movement
grew stronger the persecution of
the Church became more in
tense. What started as mild re
ligious restrictions, in the name
of “liberation” soon turned to
blood. Every day priests and
Sisters were imprisoned. Some
were executed; others, perhaps
a worse fate, were brainwashed,
their minds twisted, made in
sane.
I anticipated arrest at any
time, so when I was tipped off
on June 15, 1953 that I was to be
arrested, I just sat there in my
room, that beautiful summer
evening, waiting for them. It
was an appropriate day — the
29th anniversary of my ordina
tion to the priesthood.
And sure enough they came,
about 30 of them, the military,
police, political workers, both
men and women, one even car
ried a machine gun to arrest a
simple,, old priest after 28 years:!
of work in China.
(Next article will deal with ?
Father McCormack's arrest
and imprisonment.)

BIBLE CATECHISM
TRANSLATED
BILBAO, Spain, (NC) — The
Bible and a catechism have
been translated into Basque, re
garded by linguists as one of
the most difficult of western
languages.
The Basque Bible was trans
lated by Jesuit Father Olivade.
Some 60,000 copies have already
been sold by subscription.
The ancient province of Bis
cay, part of which now belongs
to France, contains 126 parishes
where practically all of the
faithful speak only Basque. It
is the largest of the three Span
ish Basque provinces.
The origins of the Basque peo
ple are still unknown. Their
language, which is believed to
be one of the oldest in use to'
day, seems to be totally unre
lated to any other known lang
uage. The Basques, who inhabit
the southwestern corner of
France and the north of Spain,
have been Christians ever since
the early 5th century.
