Arrow American Catholics are urged to show the thousands of foreign students in the United States "that Christians don't 'Oxfords'Voted Style Kings just talk love of their fellow men but practice it" by inviting such students Large majority of collegians into their homes for a friendly visit, according to an editorial in the Decem­ favor trim good looks of ber issue of r/ie Sign, national Catholic Arrow "Gordon Dover Button-down" magazine. Calling the foreign student "the new kid in the neighborhood on a global scale," the editorial deplores the fact that many such students "are going back home A\'ithout benefit of a single friendly contact with an American Catholic." "Who are these foreign students?" the editorial asks.

"Dangerous To Lose Confocf" "Some of them are Latin Americans or others from Catholic areas. For them it can be disastrous to lose contact sud­ denly with Catholics and become im­ mersed in the secularist atmosphere, as one does on some American college cam­ puses," The Sign points out. "Others are Catholics from pagan countries," the editorial adds. "They must feel a very special lonesomeness for contact with others of their faith. "But in a way," The Sign says, "the most important group of all and the non- Catholic and non-Christian students from non-Christian lands: Japan, India, Indonesia, Egypt, and so on. For most "Lasting good looks" was the main reason cited of these, their student years in America for the overwhelming popularity of Arrow will be their only contact with Christian Oxfords.

The editorial asks:]'"What can you do See the new Arrow Shirts at about it?" '^"' "Well, the chances are pretty good that you aren't very far from some col­ lege, Catholic or secular. At a non-Cath­ olic college, call up the Newman Club chaplain. At a Catholic school, contact the student counselor. Tell him you'd like to invite a foreign student to your home. "It needn't be as an overnight guest or even for dinner," the editorial con­ cludes. "The main thing is to meet the Michigan at Washington — On the Comer foreign student and show him a gesture of friendship. You'll find a ready re­ sponse and a satisfying experience."

The narrative, what there is of it, concerns three girls who come to Broadway and make a bid for the same part in a stage musical. Each has a booster in one of the main members of the production staflr. COLFAX (through Jan. 21)—^Burt Lancaster is his usual heroic self in HUs Majesty O'Keefe. Reminiscent of so many other tropical adventures, the movie has the poor simple natives falling victims to the nasty white men only to be rescued by O'Keefe, who as a result becomes king of the island.

In a fair turnabout the audience would be wise not to waste their time seeing the likes of Druvis of Tahiti and The Nebraskan (A-2). PALACE (through Jan. 21)—Another couple of mediocrities.

"She has a wolf by the tail; she hates to hang on, but she doesn't dare let go. It's an unfortunate situation." The French fire in Indo-China has been raging for seven years, with nothing in sight but peace-feelers from the Eed- Chinese that are far too demanding for the French to take seriously. "France, on the whole, would be glad to get out of Indo- China. It's too bloody, too costly, and too dragged-out. At present, the French see no end. The French know they have to let Indo-China govern herself, but if the French let go now, they are afraid the French North Africa colony will get away too," said Prof. Fitzsimons. France appears to be in the middle of angry mountains. She is unable to increase her military effort in Indo-China because of the tight purse strings at home, but if she does not increase it, she can not win the war; and if she goes on with her present course, she will be defeated. Therefore the eyes of the world focus on the U. S. as a potential military and financial "angel." France has been largely conciliatory in her attitude toward French Indo-China in postwar years. The inhab­ itants were given a large degree of independence after World War II. The people v/ere permitted to choose their own local rulers with a French Governor-General overseeing. "But in handing over most of the government to the natives," Mr. Fitzsimons reminds, "the French are not doing 1 ^^ C-- ^ tary action, and a collapse of the national economy. By their constant harassing in Indo-China, the Communists are also able to bleed both France and the United States. It has been estimated that the cost of the French Indo-China con­ flict equals the billions of dollars the United States has lent France in foreign aid spending. The Marshall Plan aid and more has gone into the Indo-China war. The United States plans to spend 785 million dollars there this year.
