As a result Father Venini ar- rived in Oshawa last Friday in- stead of in October when he ex- pected to arrive. He came by way of an Italian ship from Hong Kong in Nationalist to Gen- oa and from there to Portu- gal and Havana. He first tried to can visa in Hong Kong but there was no possibility of success.

"In ourlo cal government, there was no direct line of communica- tion from Peking," Father Venini said. As a result, legislative action depended on the whims of one of the party youths and 8- | siveness with which the new idea support of the other leaders. en the Communists first came | to the mission, in October, 1950, it was thought everyone connected with religion would have to go. But the Communists contented them- selves with forbidding all religious services for six months. "Services went on in secret any- way," Father said. "At that time, all the building I had was a one room Chinese mud hut. No one could tell whether the people were coming for religious services or for medical care or for a visit." After the six month mark, condi- tions continued. with no change announced by the government. Aft- er a year, with the official ban still in force, the clergy started their activities in the open again. The Communists did not object. Neith- er did they rescind the ban. One year ago, the government took over the mission property and used it as a type of city hall. After a year and a half the Communists ave it back, with the explanation g3 did ¢ need it any longer. en the government took over the property, Father Venini said it installed wooden floors and wood- en window frames and other con- veniences. When it left the build- ings it took out all the construc- tion it had added, leaving a roof and little more. "We didn't bother to take the elpense to repair it," he said. "Everything was too much in question." We always expected to be expelled. Some priests in our village were asked to leave. But none were apprehended for spying and jailed." ' "We were lucky -- much more fortunate than many others." Father Venini estimates there are still about 200 missionaries in China. About 6,000 have been ex- pelled and about 200 have been li- quidated. The natives have kept their faith despite Communist pressure, he said. Of course many like the outhful government leaders had ome hypnotized by the never ending Communist party propa- anda which permeates every- ing.
