I am sending one to you this year in the hope that it may help you in your meditations for the Children's Service on Christmas Eve. It was written more than twenty years ago: "Dear Son: This year you are still too young to know much about Christmas, both what God wanted it to be, and what we have made it ... You will look open-eyed at the lights, and you will rock quietly as you hear sweeter music than you have ever heard before ... I am sure, too, that you will wonder, as little children everywhere have always wondered, at the strange beauty of Christmas ... the happy people, seemingly so much happier than they are at any other time ... the music, the carols, the lights in every window throwing a warm promise on the snow ... I think that I should like to tell you something about it.

The EFTA countries have undertaken to provide, as the Association develops, additional information in accordance with Article XXIV:7(a) of the General Agreement. 2. In March 1964, at the twenty-first session of the CONTRACTING PARTIES the member States of EFTA submitted their third report on the progress made in implementing the Stockholm Convention. A brief outline of the development since the last session is given below. More detailed information is given in the Fourth Annual Report of the European Free Trade Association for the period 1 July 1963 to 30 June 1964, and the booklet entitled "EFTA Trade".¹ 3. As in previous years, the EFTA countries have worked together to contribute to a harmonious expansion of world trade and to the creation of a large and outward- looking European market. As regards the first, EFTA countries have actively participated in the Kennedy Round negotiations where their identity of purpose and harmony of outlook on the main issues have enabled them to reinforce the efforts to attain the full objectives of these trade negotiations. In the same spirit, the EFTA countries participated in the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. As regards the second, the EFTA countries have found that the best way to further their common objectives for the present is to continue to strengthen the co-operation among themselves.

    On Pilgrimage - December 1965 Dorothy Day The Catholic Worker, December 1965, 1, 2, 7. Summary: Discusses freedom of conscience and obedience to Church and State in the context of Vatican Council II’s condemnation of nuclear war. Lauds the “little way” of St. Therese as the foundation of world peace and a means of social change. (DDLW #248). It is a happy thing to feel gratitude, so we thank our readers for these feelings of ours, as well as for the help they have sent us to pay our bills, and for the good letters upholding us in a difficult time, making us realize how wide-spread the Catholic Worker family is throughout the world. Every night, as a small group of us go into the house chapel to say the rosary and compline, we pray for the individuals who have asked most especially for prayers and for the living and the dead, believer and unbeliever, our own family, as well as our correspondents. And we pray with deep gratitude for those who send us help to enable us to do the work of hospitality. In the daytime you can see the wooded hillside from the chapel windows, where one of the men from the Bowery has cleared away underbrush so that the stone walls which terrace the hillside here and there are visible. The setting sun on these terraces colors the rocks a deep rose, and the trees come alive with light and color. My room faces the river, not the hill, and as I write this morning I look out at the Hudson River and marvel at how the Atlantic tide reaches all the way up to Tivoli and covers the rushes, which in turn cover the mud flats across the river.

HALPERIN* INTRODUCrION It is only a short time since the Supreme Court of the United States commented that "[t] here are few if any issues in international law to- day on which opinion seems to be so divided as the limitations on a state's power to expropriate the property of aliens." I New doubt has been cast upon this issue from an unexpected quarter: last-minute ad- ditions to the texts of the United Nations Covenants on Human Rights. This article will review the history and apparent purposes of the new provisions in the hope that their "legislative history" will cast some light on their significance. Article 25 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (hereafter, "ESC") 2 and Article 47 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (hereafter, "C & P") 3 each states that "Nothing in the [present] 4 Covenant shall be interpreted as impair- ing the inherent right of all peoples to enjoy and utilize fully and freely their natural wealth and resources." On the face of the Covenants, at least two anomalies are immediately apparent.' First, the article in ques- * Associate Professor of Law, University of Maine School of Law.
