Expresses A"

The national president, Mrs. Durocher expressed her apprecia- tion of being able to be present at “The Island" convention, citing it as being the first provincial con- vention she attended since her election to office.

Convention closed with prayer by the Director. and the singing "Holy God, We Praise Thy Name."

"Following is the text. of the res- olutions passed:

Whereas it Is to be deplored that

car drivers under the influence of alcohol have been the cause of many bodily accidents coupled with frequent loss of lives of our cit- lzens, And whereas the leniency of the sentences I ,osed for such law- lessness is tantamount to encour- aging a. repetition of the some;

Be it resolved that the Catholic Women's League assembled in convention, re-affirm its stand in supporting the cause of temperance and recommend that sentences in conformity with the gravity of the crimes caused by intemperance, be Imposed 1n such cases.

Whereas the present state of world unrest, and the ever-increas- ing menace of Communism, with its war upon Christianity, and in particular on the Catholic Church, is a cause of grove concern to all Christians;

Be it resolved that we the mem- bers of the C.W.I... assembled in convention, continue our crusade of prayer that the -cla.rkness of paganism may be dispelled and the light of Christianity be restor- ed to atheistic nations.

Whereas a lack of low rental housing, combined with the high cost of living and essentials, makes it impossible for the low income groups to maintain proper homes.

Resolved that the Catholic Women's League, assembled in convention in Charlottetown fe- spectfuily ask the Government to co-operate with municipalities and inaugurate a comprehensive build- ing program of low rental hous- lng. -

Whereas the generous spirit of cooperation of managers of book- stores and news stands in eliminat- ing banned literature is recognized as a potent factor in placing Ill the hands of the reading public s higher class of literature.

Be it resolved that we the mem- bers of the Catholic Women's league assembled in convention. record our appreciation and ask their continued collaboration and that of all organizations in this worthwhile endeavor.

Be it resolved that a radio com- mittee be appointed in each sub- division to check on programs and

that personal letters of approval or disapproval be written by mem- bers and forwarded to the spon- sors of programs at least once a month.

Whereas the Increase in the cost of living presents s great dif- ficulty in financing our institu- tions caring for dependent child- ren, ~-

And whereas on erroneous im- pression is abroad that the Fain. lly Allowance is being received by children in these institutions, and as a consequence donations have fallen off,

Be it resolved that we, the mem- bers 01 the Catholic Women's league assembled in annual con- vention in Charlottetown request the Provincial Government to Ln- crease the grant to our orphanages commensurate with the number of children in those institutions.

WMYEBS. We deplore the fact that a country of such national and international importance a; Canada has not representation at the Vatican;

Be it resolved that we, the Oath. olic Women's League of Prince Edward Island, assembled in Char- lottetown in annual convention. request that this condition be remedied by the appointment of a Canadian representative to the Vatican state.

runner resolved that the Can- adian Government be requested w take every precaution to guard and protect the rights of Christ- ians in the Holy Land.

In addition to the above, Court- esy Resolutions were pregented to the National President, His Ex- cellency Bishop Boyle, Reverend; F3 McQuaid and W. Mccardle, Hon. Dr. W.J.P. MaoMillan, His Hon. Lt.

ident Truman's oval office in the presence of State Secretary Anne. son, Defence Secretary Johngoy, and diplomats representing most of the other mcznvber powers.

Ambassador Henri Bonnet of France first presented to Acheson notice that France had ratified the treaty. Acheson then informed President ‘Truman that the French ratification fulfilled the treaty re- quirements for its coming into force. and the President signed a proclamation declaring the pact in existence.

No Fear 0f Results

In a. statement, Truman declar- ed that "no nation need fear the results of cur xxx-operation" under the treaty which he described as a purely defensive arrangement with- i.n_ the framework of the United Nations charter. ’

"By this treaty," he declared, “Wu are not only seeking to establish freedom from aggression end from the use of force in the North At- lantic community, but we are also actively striving to promote and preserve peace throughout the world."

He also asserted that "this is a momentous occasion not only for all the signatories of the treaty but for cii peoples who share our profound desire for stability and peaceful development."

His signature on the proclamat- ion brought into force s. pledge by all 12 countries to take whatever action each considers necessary to resist an attack on any one of thcirn.

Moves Already Underway

The first moves to establish an organization charged with co- ordinating the defences of the whole western world. from Alaska to Norway and from the North American west coast to Italy, sl- realdy are under way in the state department.

While the terms of the pact are general and will apply to any at»- twck against any of the members for at least 20 years, the alliance actually is the western answer to any threat of Russian aggression against Western Europe. .
