Population Growth ’Public Policy’ Needed
WASHINGTON, (NC)—A priest speaking before
a House committee urged formulation of a “public
policy” in regard to the problem of population growth,
particularly in relation to U. S. foreign aid programs.
Father James L. Vizzard,
S.J., director of the Washing
ton office of the National
Catholic Rural Life Confer
ence, said development of a
public policy on this problem
would prevent “bitter con
flict” in the future that could
harm the U. S.
The Jesuit priest testified
(April 18) on the Foreign As
sistance Act of 1962 before
the House Foreign Affairs
Committee. He was invited
to speak before the commit
tee by Rep. Clement J. Zab-
locki of Wisconsin, a mem
ber of the committee. TAe
committee will utilize the
suggestions made by various
speakers to formulate a bill
which ultimately will become
the Foreign Assistance Act of
1962.
Father Vizzard said he does
not think “we have faced up
clearly and courageously to
the practical implications for
public policy of the deep split
between conscientious citi
zens over what means, if any,
may be used in dealing with
apparently harmful popula
tion growth.”
“To be very explicit,” he
continued, “Catholic citizens
believe that ‘artificial’ birth
control methods are morally
evil; other responsible citi
zens are convinced that such
methods are not only morally
licit but also, in some condi
tions, morally imperative . . .
“I suggest, therefore, that
an important public service
needs to be performed by
bringing together for inten
sive discussions the best
fisd
Jottings ....

complete and a successful thing instead of a failure; it
is a finished action because it is God's will." One day she
wondered, as do we all: "After all these Holy Commun
ions, Masses, Confessions, spiritual books, resolutions,
nothing is done . . . alas, I am as unkind as before, my
tongue as violent, my mind as melancholy, my will more
weak, my fervor died out, my self indulgence grown as
I could never have imagined . . . and all this in the very
sight and faith of God." But she says, "the most un
pleasant things become delightful if they are done with
Our Lord. I used to hate washing clothes and even cry
over it, but since my last financial ruin, I find great joy
in it. I try to think of Our Lady washing for the Holy
Family and how carefully she would have done it."
* * * *
• ONE OF MY FAVORITES is found in a letter she
writes to a friend suffering great depression. “The only
resolution I have ever found works is whenever I want to
think of myself, I will think of God, just some short, shgrp
answer so to speak, such as ‘I am lonely and misunder
stood.’ I think of the loneliness of Christ, at His trial, the
misunderstandings even of His closest friends. Or I might
say, ‘I have made a fool of myself.’ Christ was mocked. He
felt it. Or ‘I can’t go on alone unhelped, Christ couldn’t.’
He couldn’t carry the Cross without help. Think of God
everytime I want to think of myself. Self-think takes the
form of humiliations and remorse that follows on our fail
ures and sins, there is more comforting in thinking of God’s
love and forgiveness, how good He is, then dwelling on
the hurt and vanity and misery of what one is like oneself.”

There are dozens more of ihese quotations culled from
her diaries, journals, letters, writings which Maisie Ward
includes in this biography in depth. Caryll Houselander
perhaps had no idea of this new impact which would
come after her death when she wrote: "I am certain that
for me the real Communion with people is in writing . . ."
minds from all the sciences
and disciplines with a legiti
mate interest in and a con
tribution to make to the field
of population and develop
ment ... I do not know if
such a study can appropri
ately be undertaken by this
committee or by an agency of
the executive branch, or
whether it might more right
ly be done under private
sponsorship.
“But I suggest that if bitter
conflict is to be avoided in
the near future, a conflict
which can be destructive to
our foreign aid programs, a
proper foundation must soon
be laid for the development
of public policy on this most
delicate and vital issue.”
Father Vizzard also said
he would like to see “more
signs that guidelines were be
ing developed” for more ef
fective use of private and
voluntary nonprofit agencies
in U. S. foreign aid programs.
“This seems to me to be
particularly urgent in the
case of the Alliance for Prog
ress,” he said. “We heartily
endorse this newest proposal,
but we wonder how effective
it can be without the fullest
collaboration with the social
reform efforts and projects of
the voluntary agencies al
ready operating and develop
ing in Latin America.”
Fatima Anniversary
Fatima, Portugal-Francesco
Cardinal Roberti, Prefect of the
Supreme Tribunal of the Apos
tolic Signature in Rome, will
preside at rites here on May
12 and 13, marking the 45th
anniversary of the first appari
tion of the Virgin Mary to the
three shepherd children of
Fatima.
Bishop Joao Periera Ven-
ancio of Leiria, who announced
the Cardinal’s coming, said the
intentions of the mid-May pil
grimage to the Marian sanc
tuary will be peace in the world,
and especially for Portugal and
her overseas provinces.
Cultivate individual thinking-
it takes real courage to drop
out of a crowd that is headed
in the wrong direction.

Sharing
Our Treasure
(continued from page 4)
began to doubt that Joseph
Smith was really a prophet.
“I could no longer accept
Mormonism’s strange moral
code which held it was sinful
to dance, play cards, smoke,
drink alcoholic beverages
even in moderation — and
stranger still — even coffee
or tea. There are so many
Churches claiming to be the
true one that I wondered
how I would ever find it. I
had recourse to prayer, and
God, I feel, had a hand in
my meeting a wonderful
Catholic woman, ‘Mom’
Quinlan, in Oakland.
“She always had time to
listen to my troubles, and in
a quiet way helped to make
me conscious of God’s love.
She taught me how import
ant it is to make God part
of one’s home if it is to be a
happy one. One Sunday
morning as I was passing -
St. Joseph’s Church in Ala
meda, I heard the choir
singing.
“I entered and knelt in the
rear. Then and there I de
cided to learn more about the
Faith that brought such love
to the heart of Mom Quin
lan. Father James Ryan at St.
Joseph’s gave my husband
and me a thorough course of
instruction. David had been
baptized before going into
battle with the understand
ing that he would later take
instructions. The fact that the
Church could trace its origin
back to Christ, who confer
red upon it the authority to
teach His truth to all nations,
convinced us that it is the
one true Church.
“I was baptized and Da
vid and I received our Eu
charistic Lord. Our three
children have also been
baptized. Wishing to share
our precious treasure with
others, we brought Mr. and
Mrs. Earl Palmer to an In
quiry Class conducted by Fa
ther Carl Wolsin in Paterson,
New Jersey, and now they
and their three children are
Catholics. Would that I could
share our holy Faith with
many others!”
(Father O’Brien will be
glad to have converts send
their names and addresses to
him at Notre Dame Univer
sity, Notre Dame, Indiana,
so he may write up their
conversion stories.
SPEAKER — Dr. Charles
Malik, Lebanese statesman
and former president of the
United Nations General As
sembly, was the featured
speaker at the 36th annual
meeting of the American
Catholic Philosophical Asso
ciation in Washington, April
24 and 25. Now a professor at
American University, Wash
ington, Malik spoke on
“Justice in the International
Order.” The former Lebanese
ambassador to the United
States was the 1953 winner of
the Christian Culture Award
Medal given by Assumption
College, Windsor, Ont.
