LAND REFORM IN CHILE—Implementing an ambitious
land reform program in Chile, the Archdiocese of Santiago
and Diocese of Talca, have distributed some 8,700 acres
of prime land between 150 farm families. In top photo,

HACKENSACK, N. J., (NC)
--Superior Court Judge Char
les W. Broadhurst has taken
under study here a suit brought
by the Newark archdiocese to
upset a zoning ordinance in
nearby Hohokus.
The case concerns a 20-
acre plot of ground purchased
in 1960 by the archdiocese in
Hohokus, a residential Bergen
County community. When the
archdiocese announced plans to
build a school on the site, the
borough council amended its
zoning ordinance to bar all but
Sunday schools from the area
involved.
Frederick J. Gassert of New
ark, attorney for the archdio
cese, argued during a three-
day hearing that this con
stituted illegal selective and
spot zoning.
In his brief, he also charged
that is was an improper use of
police power, was not in accord
ance with New Jersey statutes
and constituted discrimination
against parochial schools be
cause land could be made
available to the public school
district despite the existence
of the amended zoning law.
The archdiocese was joined
in the suit by Grace D. Brown,
seller of the land which was
formerly the site of a riding
club. Seven Hohokus residents
joined the borough in opposing
the suit. Judge Broadhurst is
not expected to announce his
decision before at least a two-
week study of the case.
Greenlanders
Never Forget
COPENHAGEN, Denmark,
(NC)- “Where is the boat and
where are my Greenlanders?’’
wondered an American priest
standing at the edge of the ice
on a Greenland fjord last year.
He was about as alone as a man
can be on this earth.
The boat had taken Father
Thomas Killeen, O.M.I., most
of the way from mission post
to the U. S. radar station
Dyne. .1,, where he had offered
Mass for the Catholic person
nel. It had been an 11-hour
walk along the fjord ice and
then up a mountainside after
the priest left the boat. The re
turn walk to the promised ren
dezvous point had taken 13
hours.
As Father Killeen scanned
the sea for signs of the boat he
realized he was in danger of
drifting away on the ice. He
turned back to land, and bed
ded down for the night in his
sleeping bag. Next day he came
back to the water’s edge. Still
no boat. Fingering the few
remaining pieces of bread he
had left, Father Killeen mulled
the claim that Greenlanders
never forget what they have
promised.
He was sure that his friends
had met with some delay, but he
could not help feeling some an
xiety as the hours wore on.
Finally, after seven hours had
passed, the Greenlanders ar-
arived. They told him they had
been unable to maneuver their
boat through drifting ice.
“I had not been in danger,”
said Father Killeen to an inter
viewer here, “but a storm might
have arisen and then I wouldi
have been in a risky situation.” 1

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.,
(NC)- An international Jewish
organization has called for a
broad set of principles on elim
inating religious intolerance.
The Coordinating Board of
Jewish Organizations said that
a set of draft principles drawn
up by a United Nations sub
commission “deals only with
a small--yet naturally impor
tant—sector” of the problems
of religious intolerance.
The Jewish board made its
comments in a statement sub
mitted (Jan. 28) to the UN Sub
commission on the Prevention
of Discrimination and Protec
tion of Minorities. The board
said that “as a body repre
senting Jewish organizations in
41 countries we feel particu
larly competent to address our
selves to the problems connec
ted with religious intolerance.”
The board is a nongovern
mental organization which has
consultative status with the

CHICAGO, (NC)—A Metho
dist minister said here that one
aspect of the birth control infor
mation program approved by
the Illinois Public Aid Com
mission would tend to promote
immoral behavior in women.
Rev. Robert Bruce Pierce,
pastor of the Chicago Temple
(First Methodist Church of Chi
cago), said in a sermon (Feb.
3) that he “would entirely ap
prove of granting contracep
tive services on request to any
client living with a legal hus
band or wife.”
“But where I will not agree,”
he asserted, “is in that portion
of the action of the Illinois
Public Aid Commission that will
make these contraceptive serv
ices available to unmarried wo
men, and/or women living with
other than the legal husband.” j

The subcommission on the
Prevention of Discrimination
and Protection of Minorities
passed a resolution (Jan. 28)
which stated that a set of draft
principles it had submitted to
the Human Rights commission
in 1960 contains the “basic
elements which should be in
cluded in a draft declaration
on the elimination of all forms
of religious intolerance.”
In its statement, the Co

principles being studied by the
Human Rights Commission
“deal only with a small—yet
naturally important—sector of
the whole problems of religious
intolerance, namely, intol

religion and its (religion’s)

The organizations said that
the General Assembly resolu
tion calls for a declaration not
only on attitudes, but on “those
forms of intolerance that lead
to or result in acts.”
The statement maintains that
implied in the resolution’s pre
amble is the assumption that

distinctions based upon race,
color or religion, does create
attitudes of religious intol

In Chile Points Way To Land
Distribution Of Own Lands
By
Latin America is a vast area of tremendous potential
growth, but also a region of great tension and revolutionary
unrest. Will it fall prey to communism or advance along the
road to Christian democracy? The editor of Noticias Catholics,
Spanish-language edition of the N. C. W. C. News Service, who
recently finished a tour of Latin America, reports in the
following article on the strenuous efforts being made by the
growing Catholic social forces to guide one of the area's coun
tries towards Christian democracy.
By Jaime Fonseca
(N. C. W. C. News Service)
The Catholic Church in Chile
has its hand on the plow of a
precedent-making pilot project
of land reform.
Back in the fall of 1961,
the Bishops of Chile announced
after their annual meeting that
farms and estates belonging to
all dioceses in the country would
be divided and sold to rural
families. Their goal, they said,
is “effective land reform—bet
ter use of the land for the
common good and a greater par
ticipation by the rural working
families in the ownership of and
income from the land.”
The Bishops did not mean
“manana.” They engaged agri
cultural experts to study the
soils of Church-owned lands,
and they put lawyers to work
studying legal questions per
taining to land. Then last June
the Church opened the first
furrow from which it hopes
a new landholding system will
spring out for the rest of the
country.
“Today we go a step further
in applying the teachings of
Christ and the social doctrine
of the Church,” said Bishop
Manuel Larrain of Talca, ad
dressing a group of farm fami
lies at Los Silos de Pirque.
The 450 acres of prime farm
land they had been working as
“inquilinos” or tenant laborers
were to be theirs after a short
trial period.
A few weeks later, Raul Car
dinal Silva Henriquez of Santia
go was delivering a similar
promise to another group of
“huaso” families at another
Church-owned property, the
3,500-acre estate of Las
Pataguas.
“We have started to fulfill
a resolution of the Church in
Chile to give its lands to those
who till them,” he said.
In the past 10 months, the
Diocese of Talca and the Santi
ago archdiocese have relinqui
shed some 8,700 acres in favor
of 150 farm families. The lands,
valued at $415,000 will be theirs
at a price far below their worth.
The prospective landholders
have 20 years to pay, at six
per cent interest, and with the
first payment deferred for two
years. Conditions such as these
are unheard of in Chile, where
mortgages and commercial
loans when available -bear
normal interest rates of 20 to
25 per cent annually.
This land distribution on the
part of the Church does not mean
that the Bishops have been rich
land owners. Most lands granted
by the Spanish Crown in colonial
times were confiscated in 1824,
along with the suppression of the
tithe, in a series of laws which
impoverished the Church. The
few properties it has today
come from bequests for the
support of its educational and
charitable work.
But the Bishops, however,
are determined to set the ex
ample to pave the way for so
cial justice in their country.
Chile has over 300 large farms
with over 12,250 acres apiece,
while 500,000 peasants live on
less then four acres per family.
Chilean agriculture is con
centrated in the fertile Central
Valley—a 600-mile strip in the
heart of the country which has
an average width of only 110
miles. Ninety per cent of the
cultivated area consists of large
estates, a landholding system
which remains quasifeudal.
‘ ‘The primary mission of the
Church is to teach,” stated
Bishop Larrain in his historic
speech at Los Silos. “It is the
duty of Christians convinced of
the Church’s teaching to effect
such reforms as needed. . .
But when the Church can add her
deeds to her words, she does
so gladly, even if it means
sacrifice, and opposition on the
part of some.”
Bishop Larrain made only a
passing reference to sacrifice.
Yet there is real sacrifice on
the part of the Church in this
program. However meager the
income from the estates has
been, the Church did use it for
its many needs.
Santiago, the richest archdio
cese in the country, has an aver
age yearly income of $160,000
to administer to 2,377,000 Ca
tholics, run a multitude of soc
ial institutions, and teach some
83,000 children in 228 Catholic
schools.
Talca, with 34 rural parishes
and very ittle industry, has
352,000 souls and an annual
income of $14,000. In its 75
schools it educates 15,000
children. It cares for another
thousand people in its charitable
institutions.
The Bishops’ program has
also aroused the wrath of vested'
interests who see in it a leftist
plot. But a Christian Family
Movement group in Santiago
came to the defense of Bishop
Larrain. It published a letter
stating: “If the Church land
reform is bringing an uneasy
conscience to many landed
families, that’s fine. It
might well be that they soon
will open their eyes to this
acute problem.”
As with Los Silos, the Santia
go land reform program is
preceded by careful studies of
soils, irrigation, access to
markets and above all, the hu
man factor. The Cardinal and
his advisers are following a
two-stage plan: first, to change
the passive, uninterested ten
ant farmer or “peon” of the
past into a small * ‘ entrepeneur’ ’
seeking to improve his lot;
second, to give him the land as
his own.
Father Gonzalo, S. J., of the
Bellarmine Social Studies Cen
ter in Santiago, has stated:
“From the very beginning we
want the co-op members to
achieve self-government. Our
help is limited to lending a hand
in technical know-how, ac
quiring a farm tractor and other
implements, in securing better
seeds, in arranging credit and
money while waiting for the
harvest. . .”
“We are educating the tenant
farmer in a new sense of re
sponsibility and efficiency as
the best incentive for producing
better and more. The day we
can launch land reform on a
nationwide basis in Chile, such
farmers will make the differ
ence between success or ruin.”
But there are already these
signs of success:
1. Production per acre is
already up. At Las Pataguas
it reached 50 per cent above
the previous crops. At Los
Silos, farmers live better, can
invest more capital in farm im
provements.
2. Intensive farming makes it
possible to support more peo
ple. Las Pataguas had 60 fami
lies before reform; now it has
106. Seasonal help was used
before for 70 days, now it runs
for 120 days. Against the for
mer 65 extra hands it used to
bring in, it how hires 80.
3. Farm families take to pro
ven cooperative techniques
quickly.
4. Both farmers and leaders
constantly discover “new hori
zons”—their unknown abilities,
a latent moral integrity, in
creased charity, better family
life, a “national” conscience
of the land problem. By giving
up a few material lands, the
Church is planting a rich har
vest of spiritual and human divi
dends.

Duties For
Deacons
ATLANTA, Ga.,(NC) -Semi
narians who are ordained dea
cons in the Atlanta archdiocese
this summer will emulate the
first deacons of the Church by
serving the poor, and sharing
in the preaching and baptizing
duties of the parishes to which
they will be assigned.
Archbishop Paul J. Hallinan
of Atlanta said the deacon pro
gram will be on an experimen
tal basis. They will work under
the direction of pastors and will
be able to distribute Holy Com
munion, both in the Church and
on visits to the sick, he said.
“An ‘active diaconate’, be
sides being of real help to the
parish, will also provide a good
'apprenticeship ’ to our dea
cons as they begin their final
year of preparation for our
diocesan priesthood,” the
Archbishop said.
The Archbishop stated “In
the early centuries of Chris
tianity, the deacons had signifi
cant duties in the Church. Today
the order of the diaconate is
only a stepping stone on the
way to the priesthood. To em
phasize its importance, and to
give our people a better view
of the varied sacred tasks, the
Archdiocese of Atlanta this
summer will inaugurate, on an
experimental basis, a program
for the three young men who
are about to enter their ‘dea
con year’ in their student pre
paration for the diocesan
priesthood.
The Archbishop said on June
1, 1963, at Christ the King Ca
thedral here Michael A. Morris,
Edward A. Danneker, and James
F. Sharer will be ordained dea
cons, and will be assigned for
seven weeks to three city par
ishes.
Educational Groups Meet
WASHINGTON, (NC)-Re
presentatives of 21 national ed-

meeting (Feb. 8) merely ac

been held and said that discus

President Kennedy’s omnibus-
aid bill.
Newsmen were told by one
source that no agreements were
made and that the meeting
amounted chiefly to a restate
ment of views by the various
associations, with no apparent
change in views.
The gathering was convened
by the National Educational As
