Today, atheistic Communism is enclosing too many unsuspecting countries behind the iron curtain. The need for intelligent, capa- ble and conscientious leaders is being recognized more and more. We, the youth of today, will have to do our part in responding to the Holy Year appeal of His Holiness Pope Pius Xll for the great return of all mankind to the divine plan. Yve therefore need training in the right kind of leadership. We need to know the traits of leadership, that we may be able to distinguish the true leader from the false one, and also that we may not fail in our own responsibilities for leadership in whatever limited degree we may be called on to exercise this great duty. With this in mind, we have adopted the theme, Action Now for Catholic Leadership, for our 1950 Dominilog.

Mil nw! COLLEGE! eafiwy n 4 ' Every leader understands the necessity of cooperation. Leadership is like a great chain, each link of which depends on the others. The strength of each link ensures the strength of the entire chain. No leader can work efliciently unless he cooperates with those above and below him. Thus no leader succeeds unless he has in the ranks of his followers many who will 'Glead in followingf, These less spectacular but none the less essential leaders must be trained to be cooperative and trustworthy. They must know how to counteract jealousy and selfishness when these arise in the ranks of the followers. By their in- fluence and example they induce others to follow the accepted leader of the group and show convincingly the wisdom of submitting to the judgment and decisions of this leader.
