Chesterton Turns Guns on Divorce Is dlvorc* the best solution of marriage difficulties? In an article which amteared In The Times Friday, Faith Baldwin, noted novelist, armed that incompatible couples no longer in love should separate. Today, In an interview written for this newspaper and SEA Sendee, her views are challenged by G. K. Chesterton, famoas English author and outstanding Catholic layman, who has appeared In numerous public debates on the divorce problem. BY G. K. CHESTERTON As Told to Byron Darnton (Written for NBA Service) Miss Faith Baldwin says that when mutual love and mutual respect have ceased, a marriage might be better dissolved. It seems to me that the root of the whole question lies in that* statement. Like many who discuss divorce, she is mixed in the meaning of words. Thus, when I have debated with Cosmo Hamilton and others, they have used the words “love*’ and passion” as though they were interchangeable. Now, passion is a thing not generally very strong except at one period in life. Obviously, in the normal man. It must be satisfied, but it has nothing to do with love and respect. Doubtless Miss Baldwin means that you can not promise to love. But you can promise to respect. The old idea of marriage is not expressed in the command, “You, man and woman, go on living together and nagging and cursing each other.” Instead, it Is, “You, man and woman, do not nag and curse.” Morals Are Violated My gracious antagonist is aroused about those men and women who visit on their* children the ill tempers resulting from their own marriage maladjustments. Such parents violate Catholic morals just as much as the woman who runs away with the chaffeur, or the man who elopes with the barmaid. You have to be charitable and kind and generous and loving in marriage. The church issues no command to people who already are quarreling in marriage to continue to quarrel. Instead, the church commands that they cease quarreling. The believers in divorce say, “We can not cease,” and for them I am sorry, for they are weak-minded. Impulses Can Be Controlled We Catholics believe people can control their attitudes of mind, their impulses and their desires. We differ from the helpless fatalists and pessimists who talk so intelligently about incompatibility, as though it were something that was fixed— ’ ike the plight of a man born with one leg. We say incompatibility Is the common experience of men and women who go about to get it. The moral question involved is whether incompatibility is to be sought for. The believers in divorce assume that mankind is impotent and helpless, but, we Catholics take a different view. We have ap old phrase, “making the soul.” And the Catholic who is asked, if he Is incompatible with his wife Sarah, replies, “I will see whether I am or not.” Start to Respect Again Miss Baldwin says it is better to part when respect ends. I say it is not. The business of a couple so afflicted is to begin to respect again, just as it is the business of a person who cheats to cease cheating. Miss Baldwin accepts the final catastrophe: she accepts the unhappy ending at the beginning. While there’s life, there’s hope, we say. But let me agree with Miss Baldwin on one detail. I certainly approve her statement that unfaithfulness is not the worst cause of distress in marriage. But what is the test? I make a flat denial of Mrs. Baldwin’s statement that there is no gain in character by sticking to a marriage that is difficult. Anything that causes any one to suffer, because he must support a principle or an ideal, ennobles character, despite the fact that circumstances may be ugly. Circumstances usually are. The surgeon and the nurse work in sordid surroundings—and so does the soldier in the trench. The point, right or wrong, is that the human race respects, and has always respected, the man who exercises self-control and does his duty to the institution called the home. In divorce you have to get the respect that once was earned only by the man who was faithful. About the Children Os course, there are conscientious objectors to marriage, just as there are conscientious objectors to the war. I can understand them. But what shall we say of the conscientious objector who wears war medals? About the children: The old method of raising them is called wrong because it “smothered” them, and some people attack that method because it was too cold and hard. I do not know of any new vague pyschological facts that have been learned about children. We only have hired others to look after them, and most of these are charlatans. We ourselves are too lazy; we want to go on love-making.

Just Every Day Sense
BY JVIRS. WALTER FERGUSON
EVANGELISTS are the worst of all calamity howlers. You never meet one of them who will not tell you that the. world is speeding toward hell, and he takes the greatest delight, apparently, in watching it go. Yet, obviously, mankind is not traveling downward toward perdition. All signs point the opposite. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, each generation improves upon a former one. Man drags himself painfully upward through the ages, and he’d get along much faster without the kicks of evangelicism. And what, moreover, would happen to this type of religious leader if everybody became as good as he is? Undoubtedly there would be no more work for him. With the devil chased entirely off the earth, he would be out of a job. along with a lot of other and better men. It seems to be an obsession peculiar to evangelists that men are entirely evil. tttttt ONE such came to our town not long ago and told, us that our husbands were faithless, sinful wretches and our children in high school were evil-minded and diseased and all of us were on the highway to hell. We paid him well for the insults to those we loved and sent him on his way. Tomorrow, no doubt, he will be in a neighboring town, yelling his doleful tidings to other timid souls. In fact, nothing would be more surprising than to find an optimistic evangelist. Or a preacher of any sort who extolled man as he deserves to be extolled. Is it not wearisome to hear these curses hurled at stumbling humanity? For if the race does not deserve credit for its progress, then heaven must be a sham. The sight of countless poor beings, struggling against circumstance, groping in the mire and the murk, and succeeding sometimes, in spite of everything, in reaching sublime heights, is a thing of which the Eternal God Himself must be proud.
