Emphasizing good neighbor relations with Mexico in his visit to Mundelein, Father Alfonso Castiello, S.J.. one time dean of the University of Mexico, declared that, it is the privilege and responsibility of Cath olics in the United States to lead in good neighbor relations with Mexico, because they alone can truly receive and understand the Catholic faith and culture which are the gifts ot Mexico to its fellow nations. The sudden death of President Roose velt, on the afternoon of April 12, 1945, shocked the nation, swung the eyes of the world to Georgia, where he died, to the nation's capital, where caissons rolled down Constitution avenue in his funeral cortege, to Hyde Park, New York, his final resting place.

The faith of this nation is eternal. Nazi Germany collapsed May 7, but celebrations of final victory awaited the mrrender of Japan. On August 6 ra- jdio broadcasts were interrupted by President Truman and Secretary of Par Stimson who announced that an ad torn bomb had been dropped on the apanese city of Hiroshima. On August 8, Russia declared war oil apan: on August 9, a second atomic iomb fell, this time on Nagasaki, and ' lt; lussian troops crossed the Manchurian ne (order; on August 10. Japan offered to an brrender. ' Americans, glued to their radios since ' ugust 11, learned on August 14 that apan had surrendered unconditionally. On the battleship Missouri in Tokyo kf ay on Sept. 2, 1945, General McArthur gncd the armistice. Even then, re- dicing was tempered by the knowledge the difficulties ahead in trying to ad the war-torn countries and peoples ick to peace time living.
