JA. 3-8580 “Around the Corner from Sacred Heart Church” Day And Evening Classes TEACHINGS OF FAMED 16th CENTURY THEOLOGIAN CAN GUIDE AMERICANS TO HELP CUDA SOLVE PRESENT CRISIS By Jaime Fonseca (N.C.W.C. NEWS SERVICE) The author of the following article on the Cuban situation against the background of the teachings of Father Francisco de Vitoria is well versed in Latin American affairs and has visited Cuba many times, both before and after the Castro revolution. Dominican Father de Vitoria (1480-1546) was a fa?ned Spanish theologian who started a movement to restore scholastic philosophy. The break of relations be tween Cuba and the United States — preceded by Peru and probably followed soon by other Latin American na tions — shows how deep com munist penetration can hurt the inter-American system. The Americas are facing a threat to their traditional bonds of friendship, interna tional law and cultural ex change. What is even worse, a Christian concept of com mon destiny and faith in the dignity of man is being under mined by such events. In effect, the cloak of social redemption and economic in dependence assumed by Castro and his Soviet protectors has driven a clever wedge in the minds of millions of citizens in the Latin American coun tries. Are the defenders of the unjust “status” of today right, or is the Cuban Revolution right? Some point to the dramatic break as a way to isolate the Marxist regime in Cuba and the eventual condemnation of Castro by the Organization of American States. Several gov ernments in Latin America have angrily denounced al ready the Cuban-sponsored ef forts to spread the Castro con spiracy. Argentina, Uruguay, Peru, Guatemala, Costa Rica, among them. But more than inter-Ameri can in impact, this isolation shatters the Cuban situation itself and adds its weight to a quickly deteriorating regime. That the Cuban revolution seems headed for another bloody showdown is evident in many signs, one of them the “invasion” jitters Castro has tried to whip up for the third time in so many months, always tied to some United States important event.

Atlanta, Ga. conflicts that Cuba suffers to day and by necessity seek a quick outcome. There is a tragic conflict, for instance, between the original sins of the people — freedom from tyranny, a new social order, economic independence — and the pattern of betrayal followed by the present lead ers. Then, there is the pathologi cal behavior of Fidel Castro, the “national hero,” against the scheming of cool Che Gue vara, the Soviet agent just re turned from Moscow. Thirdly, there is the person al conflict in every Cuban soul, of divided loyalties, as they “open their eyes” to the Red tyranny. The ones who chose the revolution know now that this is a life or death fight for survival. For those who remain loyal to their re ligious and patriotic beliefs, this is a question of submitting to a police state, or fighting it, even against powerful odds in weapons and propaganda machinery. What can American Cath olics do to help in such a crisis? For all the good hopes, the genuine love of freedom and dignity will still move the will of the people in Cuba. The Castro slogan of “Patria o Muerte” (Fatherland or Death) is truer for the Chris tian today. Above all, the Church of Silence, the persecuted Church, has now a closer echo. Cath olics in Cuba are subjected to isolation, vexation and even torture. Surely as Catholics we must pray for Cuba. But more over because we are also citizens of God-given free nations, we must help with an informed public opinion the actions and decisions of the government and of the OAS during the present crisis. We certainly have a doc trine, a set of principles to put forth. It was outlined some- centuries ago by a Dominican friar, Father Francisco de Vi toria, at the time his country men were faced with the di lemma of Christianity trying to wipe out pagan tyranny in the New World and in their own wild passions. His main points were ex pressed in the language of the 16th century, but because they were based on the immortal principles of the Gospel, they can be easily put in 20th-cen tury garb. 1. The Cuban revolution has been caught in the Cold War, a projection to many of the old concept of power politics stringing for world domina tion. In his teachings at Sala manca, Vitoria, said that no earthly power has a right to universal dominion, because all men are free and there is no previous court with power to give one nation, or a group of nations, domination over the rest of the peoples. Today the United Nations rests upon the free consent of all nations, big or small. 2. But, could loftier reasons, the defense of religious values, give claim to universal do main by peoples engaged in a sort of 20th-century crusade? Not according to the Domini can priest. Religious values, indeed, must be defended not with weapons but with heroic virtues and example. They must be spread through per suasion, not through imposi tion, even if the Cuban masses are being forced into atheistic communism. 3. What about the losses in lives, in properties, in invest ment and the annihilation of the right of ownership? There has been robbery and confisca tion, and hunger has set in among Cubans when indus tries and other legitimate means of livelihood have been closed. But Vitoria, with the wisdom of the Spanish Golden Age, answers: Resources, the' material benefit of the native population, are not reasons enough for punitive action, for punitive war. 4. Yet there are worse crimes committed by the pres ent rulers who are violating all human rights: life, free dom, bodily intergrity, human decency and respect. Summary trials and executions are back again and there goes on a campaign of lies and vilifica tion against the Church, the patriotic groups, the otherwise friendly nations. Again Vitoria answers that, as in the case of religion, a moral, ethical con duct can be proposed but not imposed. It is for Cubans to set up, in due time, their own justice. Discouraging doctrines? No. What Vitoria is doing is set ting aside the weak points to propose rather more solid foundations in defense of jus tice and order. He sees these principles as valid for Chris tians to defend at all costs: a. The right of communica tion among all people. Castro and his men are executing a diabolical conspiracy to cut off Cuba entirely from the West ern world, including intellect ual commerce and religious communication, in order to engulf the nation into a new curtain, the Sugar Cane cur tain. b. The right to establish and maintain a natural society for the guarantee of human rights and the proper discharge of human duties. The Cuban po lice state of today has killed all chances of such society. c. The right to expound and defend a free man’s convic tions until proven wrong in a free exchange of views. The Castro regime and its Soviet advisers have crushed all valid free press. They have assumed control of public opinion as a tool of communist indoctrina tion, and they deny all traces of freedom of conscience and Prepare And Serve WONDERFUL MEALS IN MINUTES. 1 OBITUARIES J.

The right to defend one’s life and bodily and moral in tegrity. The Castro machinery labels as “counterrevolution ary” all attempts of defense of this right. Jailings, execu tions, physical and moral tor ture are the order of the day. Deceit and lies have been the favority tools of the com munist conspiracy in its at tempts to wreck the inter- American system and enslave a Caribbean nation, a people who wants and deserves a bet ter life. Catholics must see that sincerity and truth-in the eternal principles of the Church’s doctrine — are given valid influence in reconstruct ing this system. BUCK Construction Company INCORPORATED P. 0.

NEWS SERVICE) NEW YORK — Private and church-related schools would participate only on the college level in the $9.3 billion pro gram of Federal aid proposed to President-elect John F. Kennedy by one of his “task forces.” Public elementary and sec- ondard schools would be giv en $5.8 billion in the next four years under the program -which the task force suggested Mr. Kennedy seek from Con gress. Nonpublic educational insti tutions would be aided in pro posals to expand the college housing loan program, in which they now participate. They probably would also be involved in a proposal to be gin a new program of loans and grants to aid college ex pansion. Mr. Kennedy did not specify here his administration wil] act on the suggestions from the committee, one of several he named to prepare proposals on a variety of topics. Dr. Frederick Hovde, president of Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind., headed the group. The task force also urged extension of the 1958 National Defense Education Act, with some increases and one change. This act is best known for its lending of Federal funds to needy college students. The colleges distribute the funds. The Kennedy group recom mended that the total of funds available for loans be in creased. The group also called for revision of one feature of the act that has been criticized by numerous educational associa tions. This is the provision that college students who borrow money and then become teach ers in a public school can get up to 50 per cent of the loan forgiven. The Kennedy group urged that the forgiveness feature be extended to all who enter teaching, regardless of the school they choose to serve, a change sought by many edu cators. The proposal to aid public grade and high schools calls for providing $30 each year for each public school pupil to all states. Added to this would be $20 per public school pupil in low income states. Finally, all cities with populations of more than 300,000 and facing special educational problems would be eligible for the same $20 per public school pupil in extra aid. The money would be given to states which would pass it on to local school boards to help the board meet what they judge their most pressing- need — salaries, school con struction or other improve ments. On the college level, the task force proposed legislation providing an immediate in crease in the housing loan program of $150,000,000 and $1,400,000 in matching grants and $2,150,000 in loans.
