NCCW president, escorted the
President on the stage.
In his speech, the President
said that the family is the prin
cipal source of all America’s vir
tues, and that actions of great
importance to today’s families
are the ‘’patient, tireless” efforts
of our Government “to establish
a just peace among nations.”
“In our own time,” he said,
“we have seen a vast nation—
which today threatens the free
world—threaten the family struc
ture within its own boundaries
and fail miserably in the attempt
“But in our own land, it is
largely through the family that
our national character is formed.
Americans love fair play, brav
ery, hard work and believe in
human brotherhood because
American fathers and mothers,
by precept and example, teach
these virtues to their children.
So long as these ennobling qual
ities are passed from generation
to generation in America, our
nation will be strong and secure
and great.”
The President departed from
his prepared text to declare “wtih
all the earnestness I can com
mand” that if American moth
ers will teach their children there
is no real alternative to peace,
we shall have peace.”
“Today,” he continued “the
fathers and mothers of our land
rejoice that the possibility of
peace is more promising than at
any time in recent years.”
The President said that to re
solve the “uneasy global armis
tice,” more than skillful diplo
macy is required. What is needed
he said, is “a genuine desire of
'the individual citizen of each
nation to understand the tradi
tions and hopes and desires of the
citizens of all other nations.”
He added that “above all we
need the religious quality of
compassion—the ability to feel
the emotions of others as though
they were our own.”
The cause of peace in the
world would be nobly served
he said, “if mothers in every
land could teach their children
to understand the homes and
hopes of children in every land
—in America, in Europe, in the
Near East, in Asia.”
Before the President’s speech,
Archbishop Richard J. Cushing
Boston delivered a special pray
er. It read:
“Lord Jesus Christ, true Source
of all authority, be Thou the
strength of him upon whom our
people have placed the heavy
burden of the Presidency. Touch
with Thy Divine Grace all those
human qualities for which He is,
so beloved and which make him
so apt a spokesman for our peo
ple before the nations.
■‘Spare him the vexation of
idle and unprofitable criticism
from the captious or unthinking;
direct to his aid and his consol
ation the wise counsels of what-
soevevr in the land or the world
may help him find and follow
the ways along which he must
lead our people and our allies.
“Lord Jesus, 'ours is a good
land; be Thou Its only Lord. Our
President is one of its typical
sons; be Thou his greatest
strength. Bless him and all this
nation that as God was with our
Fathers,* so He may be with us.
Amen.”

nieces and nephews

Archbishop continued.
“But it will be a woman,” he
said, “who will in our day, as in
the ages of crisis gone by, finally
decide the issue. She will no long
er act alone, for in an age of de
mocracy, she will have millions of
like-minded people acting jointly
with her or she cannot accomplish
her destiny. She is that ‘average
woman’ of whom I spoke,” he
said.
In his sermon, Archbishop Mey
er of Milwaukee said the primary
objective of the lay apostolate is
to assist the purpose of the
Church, which in the words of
St. Paul is to produce “Saints
and fellow citizens of Saints.”
He reminded that last year the
Holy Father called all laymen,
particularly those highly-educated
to accept their places in the work
of the lay apostolate.
“Separation between religion
and life, between Church and the
world, is contrary to the Christian
and Catholic ideal,” he said.
The perfection of the apostolate,
he continued, is to be found in
the Blessed Mother and the domi
nant motto of her life, “Let it be
done unto me according to Thy
word.”
Speaking to a general meeting,
Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., United.
States Ambassador to the United.
Nations, assured the gathering
that this country will continue in
its resistance against the admis
sion of Red China into the United
Nations.
Ambassador Lodge said that’
Chinese Communist demands to
be seated have been rejected 24-
times in various United Nation?!
bodies. But, he declared that the
United States will “steadfastly re
sist” admission.
“The moral sanction of the
United Nations must not be
scrapped. It must not be degraded
into a mere sordid cockpit oi!
power politics in which the law -
abiding and the criminal are o -
discriminately scrambled up.”
He said that the attempts by
the Soviet Russia and the Red
China regime itself to get the lat
ter country into the U. N. have
“given us an opportunity to bring'
to the attention of the world tno
real character of this regime and
the crimes it has committed.
The Ambassador reminded inai
the U. N. charter is up for revi
sions in 1955. He said any change
is subject to Soviet veto so rree
nations must agree early on thti
course of action on the proposed
changes. “The Soviet Union heed;!
public opinion once it has been
mobilized,” he added.
One change “it seems everyone
should support,” he said, would
eliminate the veto on admission
of new members. He reminded
that there are about 230 million
citizens in nations who should be
members but are not “because o:-!
the Soviet veto.”
