Letter to the Editor
Dear Father:
We have read about the suffering of the
unfortunate people of Biafra and we certainly
feel sorry for them. We decided to start saving
our pennies and nickels for them and with the
help of the Bobby Kennedy Civics Club (3rd
and 4th grades) we were able to save $25.00.
I am enclosing check for this amount to be
used for the Biafran Children.
We are also offering our prayers for them.
Sincerely yours
Sylvia Ramos
Corresponding Secretary
John F. Kennedy Civics Club
Little Flower School
Hebbronville, Texas
Check has been forwarded to Most Rev. Edward
Swanstrom, Catholic Relief Services, 350 Fifth Ave-
nue, New York. ED.

Editorial
Many-Sided Crisis
There are more causes for the hunger and poverty in
the large Asian and South American countries than
their extra numbers of persons, Most of the developing
nations suffer from serious factors that have little con-
nection with population growth. These can be poor agri-
culture, absence of small industry, inflation of money,
instability of the prices in their one-crop economy, a
Jack of markets for their goods, the monetary policies of
the larger nations, political struggles, military expenses
and the despair brought on by centuries of deep disturb-
ances.
The point is that limiting the number of births will
not in itself improve poor methods of agriculture or
change international trade agreements that retard the
growth of the developing nations. This is not to say that
unlimited growth in population is no problem.. A mis-
sionary in Peru, in describing the population program of
the Catholic Church there, said that Peru with the
development of its large resources could comfortably
support several times its present population. However,
he noted, overly large populations would slow that deve-
lopment.
THE SITUATION IS an uneven one also. The great-
est population problems are in the large cities to which
people have migrated because they could not make a
living with their poor agricultural methods in remote
rural areas.
Taken as a whole, some countries have an underpop-
ulation problem. Bolivia, for instance, while its capita!
is overcrowded, could use a larger population to promote
its own local industry and development.
The hunger and population crises then are part of the
general problem of world poverty and underdevelopment.
The Population Council of New York emphasized this in
saying that "a population program must be viewed as
an integral part of — rather than an alternative to —
efforts toward social and economic development of a
country.”
The aim of a population program is to speed up eco-
nomic growth, to improve health and education of a na-
tion and to insure greater employment. But a population
program will not succeed in any area that is backward
and negligent toward the reform of its economic struc-
tures.
THE BISHOPS OF PERU in introducing their pro-
gram were critical of foreign-inspired efforts at popula-
tion control while recognizing the need for some good
program. They felt that certain programs did not safe-
guard moral norms, preserve the individual’s liberty, nor
look sufficiently at the total problem of economic and
social development.
The developing nations are particularly sensitive to
foreign population programs. A Christian family group
in Caracas, discussing their varying viewpoints on popu-
lation control, were in agreement on one point: their
fear that foreign programs, especially from the U.S., had
the ulterior motive of keeping them in a secondary posi-
tion. Robert S. McNamara, president of the World Bank,
spoke of the need for population control in South Ameri-
ca last fall and was criticized by the political left and
right. The president of Argentina noted that "the coun-
tries in the future that have the more and better popu-
lations will be assured of greater well-being and a
greater margin of liberty.”
ANOTHER LEADER said, "Imagine for a moment
if the United States and Russia were not dedicating 150
billion dollars for defense but for outside aid. Would
there be so much talk of a population problem?”
Other Latins are skeptical, feeling that the education-
al program needed for population control will not be fos-
tered by Latin governments because of another problem
it would encourage, an informed electorate.
Nevertheless, there will not be a true pressure to
change feudal and oppressing structures until successful
efforts are made to awaken the consciences of those who
can act significantly in these areas.
The prosperous nations that encourage population
programs without equal or perhaps even more intense
attention to the many other problems of underdevelop-
ment, invite grave suspicion of motives.
What is urgently needed by developed and under-
developed nations alike is an intense assault on all the
underlying causes of hunger, poverty, ignorance and dis-
ease, an overall program based on true human values
and the best in technology and political strategy.

unless we are impressed by
all that takes place during
our celebration of the litur-

it the joy it is intended to

This explains the recent
privilege given to a num-
ber of parishes in our
Diocese by which we can
satisfy our Sunday Mass

piety of the faithful and

First Sunday after Easter
Low Sunday — 13 April 1969
INTRODUCTION. Today Jesus Tells
us, "Happy are those who have not seen,
but have believed.” We show our faith by
asking the Father for our needs and the
needs of all men.
1 — That our risen Prince of Peace
may relax tensions and end hostilities,
we pray to the Lord:
LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER!
2 — That Christ’s Church may show
the forgiving Savior to the world and
Christians may imitate his forgiveness,
we pray to the Lord:
LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER!
3 — That our common acceptance of
Jesus* resurrection may lead all men of
good will to one Lord, one faith, one bap-
tism, we pray to the Lord:
LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER1
4 — That we may always see our tak-
ing part in the Sacrament of Penance as
a personal meeting with the merciful
Jesus, we pray to the Lord:
LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER!
5 — (The pastor will insert petitions
for needs of his parish.)
6 — That the sick and the suffering
may shaie in Jesus’ Easter happiness
even as they share in his passion, we
pray to the Lord:
LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER!
7 — That the Faithful Departed, espe-
cially ..., May see their risen Savior face
to face, we pray to the Lord:
LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER!
PRAYER. Lord Jesus Christ, you con-
firmed the faith of your apostle Thomas
by Bhowing him your Sacred Wounds.
Strengthen our faith, we beg you, by
hearing our pray-rs and granting our
requests, you who live and reign with the
Father for ever and ever. AMEN!
The Mass text assigned
to the Sunday will be
used. The vestments will
be of the color required by
the Sunday Mass. The
usual homily and prayer of
the faithful will have their
place in the celebration.
The Sunday will be cele-
brated at its very begin-
ning.
In this way, the Church
hopes to make the celebra-
tion of Sunday an unhur-
ried experience "so that, by
hearing the word of God
and taking part in the
Eucharist ... it. may be-
come in fact a day of joy,”
extending the joy of Easter
to every week in the year.
