Religionists interested in the problems of labor are. in some quarters. labeled subversive and unAmerican. One who tinkers with old cars but is in reality a bank president is called "a thinking man". whereas one who believes that every aspect of every problem is worthy of public exploration and debate is labeled a "pinko." The most telling case in point centers around certain reactions to a statement released by the World Order Study Conference of the National Council of Churches. last November. This prophetic document expressed interest in a multitude of different fields of national and international concern. such as foreign aid. disarmament. and refugees. Buried in the report was a call for America to study. to examine the eventual possibility of recognizing Red China and admitting her to the United Nations. There was no unequivocal call for immediate recognition of the Peiping regime. nor was there any justification of her treachery. but the simple recognition that this is a subject that ought to be openly discussed.
