Q —What is meant by the term "Conservative" Judaism? A—Conservative Judaism is one of the three main branches of Judaism in America, the other two being Orthodoxy and Reform. It stands for the maintenance of Jewish tradition in its historic continuity, loyalty to tradition through observance of the Sabbath and the dietary laws, the preservation of hope for Israel's restoration, maintenance of the traditional character of the liturgy, use of Hebrew as the language of prayer, the fostering of religious life in the home, the study of the Hebrew language and literature as “the key to the true understanding of Judaism and as a bond holding together the scattered communities of Israel." Conservative Judaism differs from Reform Judaism in that it “recognizes as authoritative many principles and observances hallowed by script, code or custom." It departs from Orthodoxy in that it “recognizes the principle of development and the fact that laws and practices vary in the extent to which they are to be regarded as vital and essential to Jewish life." The United Synagogue is the federation of Conservative synagogs. Q —What is the attitude of Catholics toward Father Coughlin? A—An eminent Catholic priest answers as follow’s: The social teaching of the Catholic Church is concerned with principles rather than detailed programs. It dissents on the one hand from mere economic individualism by insisting that economic problems are ultimately related to ethics and religion, and that society has the duty of helping all its members to gain a decent livelihood. It is opposed on the other hand to any form of the absolute state, since it upholds, within limits, the rights of private property, and in general regards the state as existing for the good of its members, rather than vice-versa. In the concrete application of these principles, however, Catholics differ. Many believe that in such matters as the remonetization of silver, the payment of the soldiers’ bonus, and opposition to the World Court, Father Coughlin's opinions can find no support in Catholic principles. Other Catholics, like many non-Catholics, more or less thoroughly agree with Father Coughlin. It is important to note, however, that he is in no sense speaking as an official representative of the Catholic Church. Q—A Honolulu (Hawaii) Buddhist asks: What attitude does the average Jew and the average Christian have tow’ard a follower of the Buddha? A—The average American Jew or Christian practically never sees a Buddhist and so is scarcely conscious toward followers of the Buddha. If an average Jew’ were questioned he would doubtless readily acknowledge religious truths and values in all other religions. He would hold that Judaism contains certain ethical and spiritual insights constituting a message for the w-orld; but he would not attempt to proselytize and w’ould live in religious peace with Buddhists. The average Christian would acknowledge the charm and loftiness of Buddha’s personality, the value in much of his moral teaching, and the range of philosophic thought stimulated by him. But he would doubtless take the position that Christianity is unique and superior to Buddhism to such a degre that it should be superceded entirely. Christian enlistment would invlove complete renunciation of former religious allegiance since tto this average opinion) Buddhism contains no unique and permanently needed values.

Air Line Workers to Open Outposts for U. S.-to-China Route. PV SIDNEY R WHIPPLE Untied Pre< SUIT Cnrre.pnndent NEW YORK. March 22—One hundred and eighteen men are going to set up housekeeping in th n middle of the Pacific Ocean some ; time next month, in 24 pre-fabri--1 cated buildings, fully equipped and | furnished with 12 extra collar but- | tons. 24 pairs of shoe laces and 288 | safety pins. The colonies, rearing themselves jin splendid isolation on Midway and Wake Islands—where never a man has lived before—will engineer and operate the new Pan-American Airways route from California to i the Orient. Midway Island is 1380 miles west of Hawaii. Wake Island i is 1242 miles further on. In the first w’eek of April, the ! sood ship North Haven, under charj rer to the company, will push out J of San Francisco with 6000 tons of i cargo, ranging from entire buildings j down to the 60 dozen extra buttons { which experts have figured will i come loose from the men’s clothing 1 during the six months of their isj land sojourn. Kitchen Utensils Included Pan-American's engineers had an easy job figuring how many anenI ometers, transformers, direction i finders, generators, fuel tanks and | other items of operating equipment were needed for the bases. The more human elements, the equipment to enable the colonists to live in contentment, created another problem. So they built two cities on paper, and equipped them down to the last minute item—which happens to be a can of sunburn cream on the bathroom shelf. The supply ship North Haven will therefore carry office furniture and porch furniture. 110.000 cigarets and 500 bags of roll-your-own tobacco, 50 cartons of chewing gum. 65 packages of razor blades, 10 dozen tubes of tooth paste, six shaving brushes, needles, sheets, pillowcases, dresser scarfs, towels, pillows, 10 pairs of curtains for each building, eight bedspreads, metal beds, cups, saucers, oatmeal plates, potato mashers, tea strainers, ice cream freezers, two complete windmills, and a thousand sundry items, including shoe polish and hair clippers. Athletic Equipment Included Under “recreational items,” the ship will carry “four baseball bats, six baseballs, one medicine ball, one volley ball, 20 jigsaw puzzles, one dozen packs playing cards, two chess sets, six checker sets (with boards); tw’o pingpong tables; tw’o dozen pingpong balls; two sets boxing gloves; and three alarm clocks.” In their spare time, the men w’ill putter around the gardens, which are already laid out in blue prints. They will plant palm and cocoanut seeds, and under the shade of the palms they w’ill cultivate cabbage and cauliflower, cucumbers and lettuce, onions, peas and radishes, squash, tomato and, worst of all, spinacl. Personnel of the colonies will in* elude a construction crew of 74 and a staff of 44 technicians, who have been receiving special training for years in the trans-Caribbean service. The operating airway will be set up from California to Hawaii, a distance of 24.10 miles: thence to Midway Island. 1380 miles; to Wake Island, 1242 miles; to Guam. 1450 miles; to Manila, 1500 miles; to China. 700 miles—thus connecting with Par.-America's 3000-mile system in the Orient.
