CHRIST IN rHE POST-WAR WORLD By BERNAIW RAY NEW ORLEANS, LOPISJANA In a world torn by strife and by fear ~reated by dictators and tyrants mad with greed and with the lust for power, it has become the convjctiop of all logical men that the only true method of ar-riving at a just and lasting peace is to return to the principles of Christianity, and to further this effort, it is the duty of Catholics everywhere to assist to the full ex-tent pf their abilities. We all agree that the dictators must be crushed, and with them must go ever1 one of their doc-trines which tend to enslave mal'l to a pagan cause, or wh~ch would eliminate God from theIr hearts and minqs. Here, therefore, is the duty of all Christian men set plainly before them; namely, to see that Ghrist and His principles are well remembered during the period of reconstruction and af-ter, and that the peace is made in all justice and charity. In onler trat Christ may not again be forgotten, it is the duty of all of our Catholic colleges and universities to educate the men and women there, not only in those subjects which are the pre-fequisites for a diploma or the re-~uirements of a wartime economy, . but also to instill in them "a for- ' mal discipline in' all branches of a Christian philosophy illumined by religion." 1 They must be educated to think and to act upon the prin-ciples set forth by Christ, and they must be taught that no ef-fort is too great, no sacrifice too much to offer, in order that these principles, once established, may be maintained, for it is only by a . Jlpiversal return to Christ that we can have lasting peace. Many argue that difference of pationality, and of creed and cus-t!)m, a:re insurmountable obstacles in the path of universal and last-~6 Catholic ltlind, Sept. 194.2, from the address of the Most Rev. Samuel A. Stritch, D.D., p. 9. LINACRE ing peace. 'Ve admit the difl"er-ences but refuse to cqnced(' the truth of thE' objections, for, if we are truly s}ncere in our applica-tion of Chrjstian principles to all things then the nations of the world shall and will respect the rights of one another. Greed and ambition will not cause the strong to impose upon the weak, and the sovereignty of the individual . na-tion will be assured. Pope Pius XII has given us a broad outlilte of international re-lations as they should be and in which he points out that "in Christian justice and charity, III a human ~olidarity rooted III QUARTERLY Christ, we shall find how to set up in all its details a beneficent Christian order." 2 Let us hope, . therefore, that in the peace to come, and in the J~ars following after, that these Christian principles will be ad-hered to, and that ensuing genera-tions, while enjoying the blessings of a Christian mode of life, shall know us as a God-fearing people apd not as barbarians to whom "light is right. This, our goal, shall be achieved with ease if we but bring Christ once again into ollr daily lives. 2 Col/ege News/etter, May 194-2, from address of Rev. J.-'V. Haun, D.O., p. S. POWDER FOR WOUNDS Protlavin powder has succeeded in conquering infection of wounds where sulfaqilamide failed. It is not yet clear whether protlavin is effective by itself or whether there mpst be a preliminary dusting of wounds with sulfanilamide. At any rate protlavin combats both strep-tococcus and staphylococcus infections. This news comes to us from :\fajors G. G. A. Mitchell and G. A. H. Buttle by way of the British l\ledical Association. All their cases were of men who Ilad been brought to a North African base hospital, after hours or days had elapsed, with dirty and infected wounds. One 28-. year-o~d corporal arrived at the base hospital, seven days after sus-taining a compound fracture of an arm, with a high tempcrnhll·e. Sulfanilamide helped him at first. Then came a relapse. In a desperate effort to save his life protlavin was used. Three days later his tempern-ture was normal, Rnd in ten days the more serious wounds had healed completely.
