Revisionism and the danger of hate in postwar thought
Richard Pattee surveys postwar revisionist ideas sparked by World War II. He reviews Captain Russell Grenfell's Unconditional Hatred arguing that ordinary peoples in different eras exhibit similar conduct under similar pressures. Pattee cautions against demonizing nations and urges careful attribution of actions to regimes, not peoples. He notes shifts in Western attitudes toward Germany and Russia and discusses limits of peace as a concept.

Missioner Sees Growing Lay Apostles Role in Missions
Father Donald L. Hessler Maryknoll Missioner from Lake Orion Mich says lay apostles will play an increasingly important role in foreign mission work. Two and a half years ago he planned to import a small team of lay missioners to Middle America. In 1952 Grailville graduates and a young man joined him. He believes anyone may have a call to foreign missions and the apostolate suited to their capacity and state in life. Lay missioners can lead in fields not easily opened to priests.

The Episcopal Committee on Motion Pictures approves two recommendations for film control. It urges Catholic school children to sign the Legion of Decency pledge and asks ratings to be posted in church halls, schools, and other Catholic gathering places.
