are some suggestions.
Consider packaging in apo

BY LOUIS CASSELS
UPI Correspondent
The bishops of the Episcopal
Church have taken a man-
sized swing at the toughest
moral problem confronting
Christians today.
Tlie problem is defining an
attitude toward modern war
which is consistent both with
the teachings of Christ and
with the realities of the world
situation.
Its difficulty is attested by
the large number of people
who have despaired of satis
fy i n g both requirements.
Some have retreated from
realism by espousing unilater
al disarmament. Others have
retreated f ro m Christian
teaching by condoning a pol
icy of massive retaliation.
Meeting in Columbia, S. C,
last month, at a lime when the
United Slates seemed peril
ously close to war over Cuba,
the Episcopal bishops insisted
on facing both horns of the
dilemma.
The result was a down-to-earth
statement outlining the
principles which the church
musl uphold in approaching
nuclear war on the basis of
"Christian realism."
Deserves Wider Attention
The bishops' statement re
ceived relatively little news
coverage at the time it was
issued, because the papers
were full of the Cuban crisis.
Now that things have quieted
down a bit, it deserves wider
attention, not only from
Episcopalians, to whom it was
directed, but from all Ameri
cans who want their country
to preserve its freedoms with
out forfeiting its soul.
Rejecting the pacifist argu-.
ment thai il is sinful even to
possess nuclear weapons, the
bishops said forthrightly that
"the United States must re
main strong militarily" as
long as the threat of aggres
sion hangs over the world.
"The church recognizes,"
they said, "that a strong mili
tary posture does scrv as a
deterrent to an aggressor na
tion intent upon military con
flict." They also acknowledged
the necessity of having the
United Stales keep "abreast
of all developments in war
fare" - even if that requires
building and stockpiling some
very ghastly types of weap
ons. But they drew a sharp
moral distinction between
having H-bombs and actually
using them against Russian
or Chinese cities.
Total war with modern
weapons, they said, cannot
be condoned by the Christian
conscience under any circum
stances, and "eveiy possible
moral force must be summon
ed to prevent its occurrence."
Draw Four Conclusions
"It is increasingly evident
that all-out modern war can
not protect the world's peo
ple?, that an atomic holocaust
cannot serve the purpose that
war may once have served
as an instrument of political
or police action to secure jus
tice and peace.'1
From this basic premise,
the bishops drew four specific
conclusions:
1. The whole concept of
massive retaliation "marked
by obliteration bombing of
large areas and masses of
and i
byi
people" is unchristian
should be "repudiated'
the United States.
2. Christians must
every influence to insure that
any war which breaks oul
anywhere in the world is
limited."
3. "In any armed conflict,
we must set clearly defined
objectives and cease to wage
war when they are achieved."
4. "When world disirma-

Although they accepted lim
ited war as a possible instru
ment of national policy - and
did so at an hour when the
issue was far from theoretical
- the Episcopal bishops stress
ed the obligation of Chris
tian individuals and nations
to preserve peace by every
honorable means avalable.
War Always Evil
War, they made clear, how
ever limited in scope and
however just In motive, is al
ways an evil which Chris
tians must try desperately to
prevent, and to which they
may rc?ort only when there is
sound hope of thereby avoid
ing an even greater evil.
