((r&fllk fUlUlHUS (!AisOCIAliON SUNDAY. APRIL 14, 1963 'Pace m "Pacem in terris" meaning "peace on earth" the encyclical issued last week by Pope John XXIII, is a remarkable and historic docu ment. So remarkable is it that it may have a real and far-reaching effect on the history of this troubled century. It could change the tenor and many of the teachings of the entire Roman Cath olic church. More, it will have an immense effect outside the church, not only in the circles of world statesmen, but, hopefully, in the hearts of many humble men and women of all faiths or none. It is probably the most humanistic and con ciliatory document ever to be proposed by the supreme pontiff of the church. For the first time in the history of the church the encyclical is ad dressed to non-Catholics to "all men of good will" as well as to Catholics. A MONG the more remarkable points made in '"Vhis remarkable document is the one in which Pope John said, "Every right to honor God according to the dictates of an upright conscience. This is a reversal of Roman Catholic teach ing, and should have great impact in Italy, Spain, and certain Latin American lands, where tolera tion of non-Catholics has been minimal or non existent. Similarly, for the first time the Pope called for a strengthening of the United Nations, by name, and said it is to be hoped that it may be come "ever more equal to the magnitude and no bility of its tasks, and that the day may come when everv human being will find therein an effective safeguard for the rights which derive directly from his dignity as a person." ' INDEED, "human dignity" is referred to in sev nml n1ar0fi in trio 99 flfln.urnvri fnpvrlirn1 where he calls tor an end to racial discrimination, religious persecutions, and for the rights of wom en as human beings both in domestic and public life. Much of the document is devoted to the prob lems of keeping the peace, and includes a call for the end to the armaments race, the destruction of the atomic stockpiles, and the disarmament of the world's machines of war. And he called for peace on all levels be tween man and man, community and commun ity, nation and nation. He said: "Seized by anxiety for the good of all, wc feel it our duty to beseech men, especially those who have the responsibility of public affairs, to spare no labor in order to insure that world events follow a reason able and human course." IT WAS fitting indeed that this document should be made public during holy week, and that its discussion should begin during the Easter season, when rebirth minds and hearts of men. As the encyclical is good wills surely all men spond to the message. for it is truly a message of hone, not only for avoidance of war, but almost equally import ant, for a new era for the human condition for social justice, for economic prosperity, for hon orable dealing and tolerance among men and nations. AS WE celebrate this Easter each in his own U!iw u nrl i i i i )', i inn tr Vino ixmn nnncnion'n we can be truly grateful that the spiritual leader of so many millions of our fellow human beings has the heart and the vision and the courage to share his dream of a new world with "all men of good will." This encyclical, coupled with the vast strides toward mutual understanding and mutual respect which Pope John has encouraged, both through his own warmth and personality and through the precedent-shattering Vatican Ecumenical Council which will reconvene next fall, convinces us more than ever that Pope John history as one of the truly Men of good will of all faiths or of none can now afford to cast aside old prejudices and suspicions to honor this man, who is attempting to show the way toward a future where all men can stand tall and free and clothed in human dignity.

MEDFOHD "Make Yourself Comfy Matter of Fact (cl New York Hereld London Reporting a vacu um is neither easy nor cus tomary; yet It is an import ant matter when there is s o m e t h ing very like a pi litical v a c u um in the sec ond nation of the Western Alliance. The iault is not t h e British government's. With real courage, although pretty late in the day, Prime Minister Macmilan tried to lead Britain into Europe. If the effort to enter the Com mon Market had not been blocked, this country would soon have acquired a new sense of purpose and di rection. The fault is not the want of able leaders, either. The younger generation of Con servative politicians are men of impressive ability, as was most recently demonstrated by the exceptionally astute budget presented by the new Chancellor of the Exchequer, Reginald Maudling. As for the Labor party, the extreme in telligence of Harold Wilson is beyond question, however mysterious his basic aims may remain. a e OUT spend close to a fort- night asking scores of leading Englishmen the sim pie question, "Where do you go from here?" The sum of the answers is an almost total lack of a present sense of purpose and direction. There is no clear conception of the nature of Britain's world-role now. There are not even any very clear ideas about what Britain's world-role ought to be. On the extreme right, of course, there are a few who want Britain to gj back into the empire-business, just as there are the neutralists and the "let's do business with Moscow" types on the extreme left. But these minorities can be ignored as completely un prcprescnlative, except that it's still to be seen how much his left-wing supporters will influence Ihe ideas of Harold Wilson. The great mass of men in the middle, in both of the major parties, have mean while been left at a loss by tile grcal and painful changes In Britain's national situation. caused by two World Wars In which Brilain played so courageous a pari.

OREGON In Our Little Lodge" By Joseph Alsop Tribune Syndicate both fail unless the European resurgence is squarely faced together with all its impiica tions. In this respect, the Anglo-Saxon powers, as Gen de Gaulle is fond of calling us, ought to be moving for ward together. Such an approach will not be easy. It demands, above all, very difficult decisions about nuclear policy which the British are particularly reluctant to take, if one may judge by their schizophrenic handling of the NATO mul tilateral force idea. But if the Americans and British take this kind of ap proach to Europe, Gen. de Gaulle will hardly be able to convince the other Euro peans that he is the sole guar antee of their independence. A reformed but no less strong Western Alliance will gradu ally lake shape, and Britain will find her role again with in this modernized frame work. In the Day's News y FRANK JENKINS As this is written, the Ca nadian election is still up in the air. The Liberals (Pear son's party) won a majority of the popular vote and a plurality of the seats (mean ing more seats than any other party) in the Canadian par liament, but they failed to win a MAJORITY of the 265 seats. CO- Undcr the Canadian sys- tern They are unable to "form a government - that is to say, a government composed entirely of members of the Liberal party. To form a gov ernment, the Liberals would have to have a majority of the 265 scats in the Canadian parliament, which would be 133. They have only 127 seats, with complete returns missing from only one district. So a total of 128 scats is all they can hope for. That is five short of the 133 seats required for a majority.

What should be nor mal and routine among allies has come to look like a mys terious event of which the full significance has still to be deciphered. TT IS NOT difficult to think of reasons why General de Gaulle may have decided that he has carried too far his antagonism to the "Anglo Saxons" and the Atlantic community. There is, for one thing, mounting evidence that his continental allies, the Ger mans, the Italians, the Bel gians and the Dutch, have not much appetite for a "Europe" governed from Paris by Gen eral de Gaulle. There is in creasing reason to believe that the Europeans do not like the French nuclear force any bet ter than we do. For they will not have any more to do with it than we will have. They are asking themselves wheth er there is not some surer and better way to achieve a self - respecting voice in nu clear affairs than to build up at enormous cost small, re dundant and almost certainty inefficient nuclear forces of their own. My own view is that the approach of the administra tion to the European nuclear problem has been overanxious and is indeed misconceived. It is overanxious in the sense that we have made it look as if we wanted urgently to sell to Europe the scheme for multi-national and multi-lateral nuclear forces. It was over anxious to send an eminent of tlie people in a new gen eral election. THE Canadians have cab- inet, as do we. But there is this difference: In Canada, every member of the cabinet must be a min ister, and every minister must be a member of the parlia ment. In the United States, the President names his cab inet members OUTSIDE the congress. That is to say, the members of our President's cabinet are NOT members of congress. Nor does the con gress have anything to say or to do with the naming of them. Our systems are quite dif ferent. The fact that they have operated more or less similarly is due simply to the fact that Canadians and Americans are more or less the same kind of people, with more or less Ihe same ideas as to the kind of gov ernment they want.

The first one, which we have chosen, is to propose schemes whit li will have the appearance, but not the reality, of independent nu clear forces. Perhaps one or both of the schemes can be sold to European govern ments. But I cannot believe that the real problem of Eu ropean - American relations is going to be solved by re pairing the facade without re modeling the house. THE other course, which seems to me to be based on a much better conception, would be to stand firmly on our basic proposition that, within the Western alliance, the command of the use of nuclear weapons is indivisi ble. What can and should bo shared among allies is the formation of high nuclear pol icy, the determination of nu clear strategy, the definition of nuclear targets, the re search and development for the nuclear armory, the en gineering and actual produc tion of nuclear components. In my view, we are now offering the Europeans gim micks in order to appease them. There seems, for ex ample, to be a notion floating about that the Germans will insist on nuclear weapons for themselves unless we let them have the right to smell them as members of the crew of a ship which carries nu clear weapons. Instead, we should offer the British, the French, the Germans and the Italians partnership. The partnership in the management of the unavoid able nuclear monopoly would have to begin modestly and grow gradually more com plete.

It was on a warm day in July that Tom Mix sent his lariat spinning out to capture a fleeing calf in the arena when the loop dropped neatly over the shoulders of a Medford spec tator, jerking him from his seat and into the ring. Old Tom was still apologizing as he entered the court room, destined to emerge as the los er in a civil suit. Another stultifying attrac tion was the "Giant Whale" that used to come to Medford on a railroad flat car. Smell ing strongly of embalming fluid, the huge sea mammal was in a tank on the siding near the Main Street crossing. It was fortunate that this hap pened but once every two or three years because the arriv al of the whale threatened to drive every cat in town crazy at the thought (and smell) of such a bigi fish.
