- Here, apparently, is direct and poitive evidence that the nonpolitical pretensions of the Roman church cannot be factually supported. For many generations European political life has been cursed with this sort of shenanigans and history records its tragic outcome, but never before has any part of this Republic had to contend with these disruptive forces. This new mongrel organization, which has torn the island’s Repub lican statehood party asunder, de mands an Ambassador to the Vatican, church control of education and cen sorship curbs on birth control and other restrictions. Already establish ed on United States soil, might not this be the precursor of a similar cancer intended for trans planting into the continental United States? The formation and growth of a church-affiliated party, no matter what the church or the name by which it is known, would be disas trous to the unity of this Republic. It could under no circumstances avoid causing the complete disruption of our domestic peace and might well lead to open hostile action against the church. The formation here or elsewhere of any such bloc for the purpose of achieving com pletely selfish institutional objectives should not be tolerated by those who value their freedom. ---------oOo--------Here & There...

Fur ther, that hope remains alive as long as the public demands with uncom promising urgency that the govern ment give the public school svstem and the University of the Philippines increased budgetary support from year to year and sees to it that the Constitution regarding education is courageously implemented no matter what the reactionary forces do. Let me repeat the warning: Take out the public school system and the University of the Philippines from the social scene, and the days through which Rizal lived and suffered will be here again before we know it; even if you do not take out these symbols of free institutions, but mere ly allow them to be weakened, as some forces are attempting to do, those Rizal days will come back just the same, though slowly and stealthi ly, but just as surely. You tan bet on that! Then when this country retrogres ses because the thinking is again dimmed and the human personality is again downgraded, as of old, we will say with gnashing teeth to our selves, "We deserve what we get be cause we were not smart enough to learn from lhe bitter labours of our great men of the past." Remose always comes later than the deed. History has taught this repeatedly, but I guess some people have to learn it many times and pay a heavy price before it sinks in.
