It is important for society to avoid the
neglect of adults, but positively dangerous
for it to thwart the ambition of youth to
reform the world. Only the schools which
act on this belief are educational institu-
tions in the best meaning o the term. .

Competition Rots
The Rails...
T HE HISTORY of American railroad
regulation has been the history of the
attempt to crunch a natural monopoly into the
nisappropriate pattern of competition.
More than any other single factor at the root
of the present railroad crisis in this conflict, we
believe, between the inherent monopolistic nature
of the roads and the consistent application of
.the principle of competition, in regulating them.
The importance of the railroad to the-public
interest and the abuses which arose as a result
of unregulated competition made it necessary for
the government to step in and act to curb those
abuses some fifty years ago. The fact that the
federal government in fulfilling this function
could, through the agency of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, regulate rates, the free
play of which in an area prefigured by economic
forces is the very essence of competition, was and
is a denial of the competitive theory.
Yet, in the face of this fact that the railroads
are as much a public utility as a telephone sys-
tem and as such should be regulated monopolies,
the railroads were consistently prevented from
making mergers becauseiof the anti-trust laws
and hampered in any attempt at legal consolida-
tion because of the insistence upon the preserva-
tion of competition.
As a result of this prevention of consolidation,
a tremendous amount of competitive waste in-
evitably occurred in the management and struc-
ture of the railroad system.
In addition, the long run trend of freight traf-
fic has been downward as the competition of
other means of transportation such as automo-
tive carriers, inland water freighting and pipe
lines have become more fully developed.
The crystallization of these long-run trends
has become manifest in the deficits of the rail-
roads during the last few years. The immediate
causes accentuating the long run trends , are
the rigidity of wages, over one half of the oper-
ating expenses of the roads, and the increasing
taxes which the carriers must pay in the face
of declining revenue.
Added to this is the peculiar fact of railroad
financing that the greater portion of the car-
riers' indebtedness is in the shape of bonds, in-
terest from which must be paid periodically,
profits or not.
The problem is acute. Railroads are truly,
the iron spine of our transportation system. To-
day, one third of the 240,000 miles of railroad
system is in the hands of receivers, and another
large fraction is in the balance. One million
persons are employed on the roads. Something
like 26 billions represents the outstanding in-
debtedness, of which a substantial percentage is
made up of savings bank funds and insurance
company investments. In one way or another al-
most every individual in the country is concerned
in the question.
It is vital, therefore, that economies be made
enabling our railroad system to continue func-
tioning as it should. Whatever the ultimate
ownership of the railroads may be, government:
or private, regulation, then, must be that ofa
Supports C.T.P.
To the Editor:
In my opinion, which is that of a non-Catholic,
Mr. C. T. P. is to be congratulated for. his cour-
ageous stands on the Spanish War. It is a cour-
age which brings a gleam of light in a great
darkness when Catholics such as C.T.P. refuse to
swallow the feudal politics of certain powerful
elements of the Most Christian of Churches there
is promise of a new and better future.
The argument, contrary to Mr. E.G. who an-
swers with such fine wrath, does not center
around the relative distribution of wealth be-
tween the various feudal possessing classes of
Spain, but around the reasons for the Church's
anti-Loyalist stand. Mr. C. T. P. asserts that
the Spanish people have rejected these dicta
and are fighting them in the person of Franco
and the religious hierarchy who supports him.
He asserts the justice of this fight, in courageous
terms considering the repercussions that he as
a Catholic is liable to feel.
Mr. E. G.. seems to lay great importance on
"authoritative sources." Authoritative sources
will perhaps be difficult to agree on in these con-
troversial times: I wonder if Mr. E. G. will con-
cede that the words of the Founder of his church
are authoritative in any degree? This Man had
a peculiar wrath of his own for those priests
who made of their religion a wealth-amassing
machine. He said in remarkably plain words
that a rich man would find it more difficult to
enter Heaven than a camel to pass through the
eye of a needle. He said, "Where your treasure
is, there will your heart be also," and this per-
haps explains why the Spanish Church's heart is
with, Mr. Franco and his German bombers. The
Spanish Church, of course, is defending itself
against the attacks of Loyalist hordes (who have
starved and writhed under its heel for five cen-
turies), yet this same Man refused to allow on4
of his followers to use force in his behalf. The
Spanish Church, of course, is fighting to save
the Spanish nation from atheism. "Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!" said this Man,
"For ye compass sea and land to make one
proselyte and when he is made, ye make him two
fold more the child of hell than yourselves. Woe
unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
ye pay tithe of mint and avise and cummin, and
have omitted the weightier matters of the law,
judgment, mercy, and faith."
Perhaps these words have no meaning today.
Or perhaps they had better be forgotten or sup-
pressed, because they contain a spark of in-
dignation which might set more churches on fire.
Or perhaps they do not apply to the Spanish
Church, which marches in bearing the cross of
peace over the desolation and suffering caused
by German and Italian fascist high-explosive
shells.
y --A.L.P.
Attacks C. T.P
To the Editor:
We hear once more from Mr. C. T. P. the final
dictum of the Spanish riddle, but documented
this time with excellent remarks about the innu-
merable virtues which he possesses. I admire
him for all these gifts and extend my congratula-
tions for his being an "outstanding pupil" in his
class. Recognizing all these qualifications, I, as
a humble Catholic, shall attempt once more to
indicate the sore spot of some of Mr. C. T. P.'s
arguments, particularly the false statements
quoted from Mr. H. V. Kaltenborn, but pardon
me if I dispense without clearing the wit de-
veloped around my name and what he calls
self-admiration. The disproportion of space
given in Mr. C. T. P.'s letter to these insipidities
made it a dull composition which filled too much
precious room of our beloved Daily.
I shall repeat categorically that Mr. H. V. Kal-
tenborn did confuse fact with fancy when he
said that all the Spanish education was in the
hands of the Church before 1931, and it does not1
make any difference to me whether he said it in
the cause of a dignified lecture at the University
of Michigan or to a less sophisticated audience.
His brilliant record and personality, which I do
not doubt, still leaves his utterance as a proposi-
tion which does not square with the facts. And
since C. T. P. asks for the sources, let me tell him
that they are found in the "Eciclopedia Univer-
sal Illustrada," Vol. 21, p. 1075 and the following,
with a rich bibliography at the end, which fear of
pedantry does not allow me to include here.
It may be of interest to add that the entire
education in Spain was directed by the Minister
of Education, who was not necessarily a Catholic,
but a well-educated politician, if such a type
exists. The Church had two universities (Deusto
and El Escorial), many high schools, and some
free grammar schools. I regret she did not
have more.
Evidently the strikes of the Asturian miners
at Oviedo impress Mr. C. T. P. as something
brought by inhuman labor conditions fostered by
the Church. What principles of the Roman
Catholic Church allow human degradation in the
capitalistic sense? Do you not confuse the Church
as a whole with dubious Catholics who violate
the Christian ideals by playing the capitalistic
game?
Mr. C. T. P. desiring to be general has invali-
dated his argument by making it a too ambitious
induction. Furthermore the quotation from
the deputy in the Cortes is not an argument to
justify the burning of churches and convents,
besides being a mere political rationalization to
which educated people give no ears. This is a
stick of dynamite to excite mobs, but the readers
of the Daily have already become independent
personalities which cannot be persuaded by the
rhetoric of a demagogue.
Sorry I did not see you at the church. Perhaps
another time!
--E.G.
Confirmation, which may qualify me as a Cath-
olic or may not.
The expression "the Catholic Church does not
use the Bible" was put in parenthetically with
Catechism and it is only in this relationship that
the Catholic Church doesn't feature the Bible.
Step into your parochial schools or Sunday
classes and you will almost invariably find that
the students use the Catechism. Ask about 90
per cent of the Catholics what they know about
the Bible and if they are honest they'll admit
that they were not brought up on the Bible.
The church may urge the use of the Bible at
times, but urging and making a point that it be
adopted are vastly removed.
Concerning the artificiality of ceremony. By
the term "artificial" I mean unnatural as Mr.
McLaughlin can verify for himself by looking up
the term "artificial" in Roget's Thesaurus and he
will find that the first adjective is unnatural.
I do not say that the Catholic Church has no
ceremonies, but as to the naturalnessof these
events they are questioned even by good Cath-
olics at times. I would like to point out a slight
incident that I came across at the services Sun-
day. After repeatedly getting up and kneeling
down, all within a period of a minute, the follow-
ing remark came from the back: "Why don't they
make up their minds?" After the Communion
the ceremony was being prolonged and a number
of the students began leaving in the midst;
a few students sitting not far from me were
giggllg when the students were leaving, which
became a source of irritation after a period.
Whether all these students were Catholics or not,
I can't account for such conduct.
Words coming from a non-Catholic supporting
their cause are indeed dear. But I wonder if the
words coming from the following Catholic, who
probably knows more, will also be as dear?" I
would like to make a few quotations from an
article titled "A Priest Warns the Church" which
appeared in the April issue of the Forum (1937)
by Peter Whiffin who by the way has con-
tributed to The Catholic World and The Com-
monweal: "The Priests preached about mealy-
mouthed homilies, about how blessed are the
poor, being chosen to carry the cross of poverty
and suffering: of such is the kingdom of heaven
-while making sure, as a class, that meanwhile
they themselves had plenty of the kingdom of
this world. We proved that religion could be
made a paying basis, evep during a money de-
pression. Thus today we priests as a class are
discredited men, men who have lost the trust
and confidence of the great masses of our people
simply becaus we have proved ourselves insin-
cere."
Concerning the point of insincerity and integ-
rity which was the point of argument in my first
letter, I could quote a few statements from the
Encyclical Letter of His Holiness, Pope. Pius XI,
which was issued March 19, 1937, and show
contradictions as to some of his recent moves and
statements. But doing so may cause some to lose
faith in their religion and such is not my under-
taking.
"The characteristics of the Catholic philosophy
of life," a priest stated in a sermon Sunday, "are
silence, reflection and belief in a spirit." However,
he did not state on what issues we should remain
silent. And if any of these controversies have
made sme of us think and be less gullible I be-
lieve they have served a useful function and I
shall try to adhere to the "Catholic philosophy"
by remaining silent unless I am asked to speak.

THEATRE.
By NORMAN KIELL
The Brocd ay Season
The interval between our Christmas and our
present Easter vacation has brought to Broad-
way ten solid theatrical hits. Coupled with nine
successes that opened prior to Christmas, plus
the five hold-overs from last season, twenty-four
shows worth spending money and time on is cer-
tainly a tremendous .number for any Broadway
season.
January through March saw -Paul "Carroll's
"Shadow and Substance," starring Sir Cedric
Hardwicke and Julie Haydon come to the Golden
Theatre; Thornton Wilder's "Our Town," a re-
lentless drama of life in New England, at the
Morosco Theatre; Paul Osborn (a product of the
University), with his "On Borrowed Time," a
whimsical tale of life and death, at the Long-
acre.
And the Federal Theatre has scored with three
successive hits: a Living Newspaper dramatiza-
tion of the housing problem, " . . ,one-third of a
nation. . ."; Paul Conkle's play about young Abe
Lincoln, "Prologue to Glory,'" and William Du-
Bois' negro drama, "Haiti," telling the story of
Toussaint L'Ouverture.
The'Theatre Guild came across with its second
hit of the season when it presented Alfred Lunt
and Lynn Fontanne in Chekhov's "The Cherry
Orchard," playing at the Shubert Theatre. Ethel
Barrymore stepped into a juicy role when she
took the part of the 101 year old grandmother
in Mazda de la Roche's "Whiteoaks," which can
be seen at the Hudson Theatre. A block above
it, Frederick Leister's comedy, "Bachelor Born,"
is playing at the Lyceum. One other comedy
opened during this time, "Schoolhouse on the
Lot," dealing with movie children who get their
education on the cinema lot.
Of the plays that opened before Christmas,
there are, of course, Steinbeck's "Of Mice and
Men"; the Mercury Theatre's "Julius Caesar,"
and "The Shoemaker's Holiday," (and they are

For the first time in several.years I
find myself in agreement with Walter
Lippmann. And I want to chime in
with what he said last week.
Pointing out that we are living
through one of the most critical tests
of democracy in modern history, Mr.
Lippmann urges that we avoid fac-
tional - fury concerning minor mat-
ters.
"We cannot afford," he wrote, "to
waste our time and our energy at
this time on such comparative trifles
as the Reorganization bill and on thej
question of who is to investigate the
personal quarrel in TVA."
This seems to me sound. Under the
threat of -Fascism, democracy must
