We point with pride to the
great outpourings of our factor-
ies and assume we have there-
fore proved the superiority of
our system. We forget that the
essence of the struggle is not
material, but spiritual and ethi-
cal. We forget the purpose of
life is the future and not the
present -
The emphasis on the ma-
terial shows itself in many ele-
ments of our political life. Too
often, in our foreign policy, in
order to compete with the pow-
er doctrines of the Communists,
we ourselves practice what Jac-
ques Maritian has called "mod-
erate Machiavellianism." But

violent than the political and
military battles which go on to-
day
It is easy to envision the strug-
gle as being wholly physical—of

strategic materials and nuclear
weapons—of air bases and bom-

spiritual and moral element on

At first glance it might seem
inevitable that in a struggle

the inner process of disintegra-

ral hundred years may hollow

victim of a winter gale.
We can barely hear the "stem
encounter," and thus too often
we forget it. Our minds, like the
headlines of our newspapers,
are intent upon the brutal, phy-
sical side of that ominous war .
upon which we have bestowed
the strange epithet, "cold.".
We tend to forget the moral
and spiritual issues which in-
here in the fateful encounter of
which the physical war is but

CENSUS REPORT
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Census Bureau estimates that
the J S. vopulation as of Nov l
was 192,00.060 up 12,997,000 or
7.2 per cent from the last cen-
sus on April 1, I960. Including
armed forces abroad the Nov, 1
estimate would be 193,038,000.
This is the material struggle,
and the central problem here
is to be, equal to the sacrifices
necessary for ultimate survival
and victory. But of far deeper
significance is "the stem en- '
counter," the very nearly silent
struggle, with no din to be heard
in the streets of the world and
with weapons far more subtle
and far more damaging than
cannons and shells.

too often substituted cynicism,

have utilized it as a weapon,
broadcast it as propaganda,
shouted it as a battle cry. But-
in "the stem encounter," in
the moral struggle. religion is
not simply a weapon—it is the
essence of the struggle itself.
The Communist rulers do not
tear the phraseologyrof religion-
or the ceremonies and churches
and denominational organiza-
tions. On the contrary, they lease
no stone unturned in seeking
those aspects of religion to their
own advantage and to use the
trappings of religion In order to
cement the obedience of their
own people. What they fear is
the profound cansequence* of a
religion that is lived, not merely
acknowledged. They fear espec-
ially man’s response to stimuli
which. are spiritual and ethical,
not merely material.
