The importation of foreign tobacco, !reept under special license, into the Free" State, is to be prohibited. The Government ultimately intends that tvery smoker in the Country shall use Irish tobacco only. that a big campaign It is understood to encourage the

growth of tobacco in Ireland will be started this winter. A London Sunday paper says that Mr. de Valera is planning a series of trade agreements with European countries to build up the trade lost through political disagreement with the English Government. Negotiations between the "Free" State and India are to be reopened in London early this month. New legislation in Ireland has given rise to hopes on both sides of a great increase in trade. Imports to India from Ireland have increased by 12 per cent this year. Negotiations are also going on between the "Free" State and Spain and Germany. It is understood that during his stay at Geneva de Valera discussed the prospects of a formal "Free" State - Soviet Trade Treaty. The "Free" State wants Russian oil and timber. Russia wants Irish cattle and horses. The newspaper adds that preliminary conversations took place at Geneva between the "Free" State and other British Dominions. ENGLAND. In a number of London theatres, where unsavoury themes predominated, there has been a slump in box-office receipts owing to the determined attitude of Catholic Action in the cleaning of the film business. Mr. Harold Conway, the "Daily Mail" theatre correspondent, says that a "most determined effort is to be made to rid the British stage -of plays with objectionable themes or vulgar dialogue by a number of leading theatrical managers and producers." He tells of a London multiple manager who complained to the manager of a provincial the atre under his control of the poor receipts reported by the latter. The provincial manager replied that al most every play sent to him had "some unpleasant subject as its theme," and added: "What some of the London managers and producers do not seem to appreciate is that a good proportion of the playgoers in this city still go to church." "The modern parent gives far too much liberty to the young, and by word and example. encourages the prevalent tendency to make luxuries nedessities," said Father John Moran. S.J., in a sermon on "The Decay of Reverence," at St. Joseph's Church, Leigh Home life is decaying, asserted Father Moran. because parents to-day are not bringing up their children as they themselves were brought up, and because they are allowing the children to be dictators and home rulers. * Father J. O'Fallon-Pope. S.J., uncle of the Bishop of Minevia (Dr. Vaughan), died recently at Mauresa Ircuse, Rochampton, at the age of 53 Years. Both his parents were non- Catholics, but were subsequently converted. and Father Pope became a Catholic at Oxford when he was 19. After tak -

ing his M.A. in 1871, he went to study Philosophy at St. Michael's Benedictine Priory, now Belmont Abbey, Hereford. He completed his studies at the Gregorian L niversity, Rome, and was Ordained in 1877. The Liverpool Cathohs.

H2 is a native of the Isle of Wight, and was educated at the Benedictine School, Douai, France, the members of which were ultimately expelled under the Combes A dministration, and are now settled at Wolverhampton, Berks. The Archbishop of Liverpool (Dr. Downey) requested him to work in firrthering the Liverpool Catholic Land Association. A year ago he became Chairman of the Association. At a reception held in the Canton Rooms, the Catholic graduates and undergraduates of Liverpool University were received by Bishop Moriarity and Professor Wilberforce, acting Vice Chancellor, at the beginning of the 1934 - 35 session., which was commenced recently. In a :oreword to the society's programme for the session, Archbishop Downey writes: "In mcdern universities, where religion is not included in the curri?elum, a society such as yours is an absolute necdssity . . . In these days of shifting scientific theories and of facile attempts at intellectual reconstruction, it is more than 'ever necessary for educated Catholics to know and be able to apply the essential principles of their religion to the social, economic and philosophical problems of the hour." The members of the Society's dramatic sec tion are considering the play, "Dawn Came to Erin," by Monsignor Gonne. for their next pia. duction. SCOTLAND. Another Irish priest's silver jubilee has been generously recognised in Scotland Rev, Michael McCarthy. pastor of St. Joseph's. Tollcross, Glasgow. recently received a handsome pre. sentation from his parishioners and admirers in Glasgow Archdiocese. He was given a cheque for several hundred pounds. a set of vestments, a silver tea service, two illuminated addres-es, and other presentation pieces. A native of Rosscarbery, Father McCarthy was born in 1880. His ecclesiastical education was received at the University School, Skibbereen. and from there he went to All Hallows, Dublin, in 1902, to study Philosophy. In 1905 he entered St. Peter's College. I3earsden, Glasgow, and completed his study of theology. He was ordained in St. Andrew's Cathedral. Glasgow, in 1900. He is a brother of Rev. Florence McCarthy, Skibbereen.

If God's authority be denied, then all authority, even- that of State, is undermined." Thus spoke Monsignor Klemens August Count Von Galen, Bishop of Muenster, preaching at the consecration of the new Church of St Elizabeth in Recklingshausen. "It is decidedly not only a religious, but also a national, duty to protest anew against such activities, and to warn you against the propaganda of a pretended 'German creed' of paganism," continued the Bishop. "Chancellor Adolf Hitler gave his promise on June 27, 1934, to a number of Catholic Bishops whom he received in special audience that he would decree ir a special order to the Nazi Party and the official authorities that in future all new propaganda pagan would be prohibited. As soon as this order is carried out, it will not be too difficult to continue the negotiations for the distribution of the work to be executed partly by the privileged organisation of the State amongst youth and adults and partly by the Catholic societies of the Church We do not protest against the State and the governmental authorities, but against the damage done by the State through public propaganda for the new paganism."

Doctors May Have Power To Kill "Reversal to the Law of the Jungle" - Would euthanasia not be a triumph of might over right and the tyranny of the strong over the weak and feeble? Would it not deaden and destroy the finest and noblest feelings in man— pity and, compassion for pain and suf fering? . "Would it not reduce man to even a lower level than the brute—for the brute will often sacrifice its life in defence of its young?

Dr. Thomas Colvin, K.S.G., one of the most distinguished medical men in the country—a triple goldmedallist in medicine and surgery, who once saved Glasgow from the bubonic plague—in a speech in Glasgow recently, tackled the question of euthanasia, namely, the putting out of existence ,either by drugs or the lethal chamber, of all those suffering from "incurable" diseases or who are old and feeble and a burden to the State. Dr. Colvin dealt with the questtion largely from the material point of view, and one of his main points was that there is no certainty that diseases now regarded as incurable will always remain so. Instead of killing patients, he said, doctors should resort to medical research, seeking cures for them. Medical science had made almost miraculous progress in the past 100 years. saving minions of lives.

"Would it not be putting back the hands of the clock of civilisation and a reversal to the law of the jungle, with nature red in tooth and claw? "And is it not the greatest and noblest tradition of their profession for the physitian and surgeon to spend laborious nights and days in alleviating human sufferings and in seeking to cure. and not kill, his patients?" Dr. Colvin declared that Catholics are as anxious as the Eugenist for the creation of a race of healthy, virile citizens, provided always that that objective is gained by moral and not by imomral means. Every Catholic wishes to bring into this world children who are sound in mind and body; so the" are all, so far as race culture is eon cerned, Eugenists, but Christian Ely genists.

Further, Dr. Colvin pointed out the legal power to kill could lead to many abuses. For example, unwanted wives could be killed for a "consideration" paid to the doctor,

It is well to know that many scholars of the 15th .century held Savonarola's learning in high esteem. His oratorical successes were not gained by theatrical tricks.

MISS OISSIE D'ARCY, the Young Ladies' Queen, has come down to last place on the poll, due in no small measure no doubt to the fact that she is still a patient at St. John's. We trust that she will soon return and give new, enthusiasm to her mane workers. The main item on her peo gramme is a Monster Carnival Dance, in the Cathedral Hall, on December 8 —Saturday next. This Young Ladies' Queen requests the support of all the young dancing world, her women have that glowing quality and almost uncanny intuition which is characteristic of the race. She has contrived to unite strong. convincing plots with realistic character drawing, giving the reader such a live impression that each incident might have actually happened during the long and painfut history of Ireland's unrest. For its story interest alone, this book can be readily recommended to fiction lovers of any age and any nationality. Miss Smithson has a long list of novels of Irish interest to her credit, amongst them are: "Her Irish Heritage," "The Light of Other Days," "These Things." By Strange Paths. 'Carmen. Cavanagh."

Arrival of Distinguished Over-Seas Visitors

THIRTY-EIGHT YEARS IN SOUTH AFRICA. Remarkably active despite his 83 years of age, the Right Rey. Hugh MacSherry, Vicar Apostolic of the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, is a passenger on the liner Ascanius, which reached Fremantle on Monday. He is travelling to Melbourne, where he will attend the National Eucharistic Congress, which opens on the 9th. of this month. He will return to South Africa after a month in Australia. am greatly afraid of the way they are going on in Europe." said Bishop MacSherry, in a shipboard interview. "Conditions appear to be very like they were in the months before the dark days of 1914. The race for armaments cannot go on indefinitely and must end in war. It is cruel that politicians should send young fellows to ther death in the prime of life." Dr. MacSherry was born in Armagh County, Ireland, in 1852. He was ordained in 1875, and consecrated Bishop in 1896. He arrived in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, in December, 1896, and has remained in charge of this Vicariate 'ever since. He has been a member as a Government nominee, of the Port Elizabeth Hospital Board for the past 37 years, and has served on the Port Elizabeth School Board since its inception in 1905. He has also been a committee member of the Port Elizabeth public library for the past 30 years. During the Boer War, Dr. MacSherry was mentioned in dispatches for services rendered in the chaplain's department, and was awarded a medal of honour for his distinguished services in the military hospitals. In 1926 he was nominated assistant at the Pontifical Throne. He has attended Eucharistic Congresses in London. Canada, the United States, Germ-7;7', Belam and Ireland. DISTINGUISHED INDIAN MISSIONARY. Another interesting visitor is the Rev. Father T. Gavan Duffy, brother of the Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia (Sir F. Gavan Duey). He

passed through Fremantle on Tuesday For tne ast on the liner 13alranald. last 24 years he has been engaged in missionary work in India, training teachers in Madras for work in village schools. He said that at present there were about 3,000,000 Roman Catholics in India, and the number was increasing at the rate of about 50,000 a year. Father Gavan Duffy is a most interesting writer and lecturer. He has done splendid work in the Mis.. sion field, and is an outstanding figure in the Indian mission field. Obstacles or hardships are as nothing to this modest and unassuming visitor. He intends spending about two months in Australia. which he has never visited hefore, although he had for many years been anxious to come. When it was suggested that he might stay in Australia, he smiled. "I have got my job," he said. So he has, indeed, and it is a big one, but he has a clear vision and his purpose is a splendid one.

PERTH, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1. 1934.

Early in January next, the population of the Saar Valley, in round numbers, about 800,000, will be called upon to determine by a plebiscite whether they shall return to German rule or become a section of the Republic of France. Under normal conditions it would be easy to guess the will of that exclusively German mass of the people of Germany's rich coal valley, torn away by the misfortunes of war and the behest of a treaty from their natural affiliation—the German Fatherland. But normal conditions do not prevail in their old homeland to-day under the new symbol of Government, and so in the Valley of the Saar it is reasonable to suppose that the thinking section of the 'people who confess the Catholic Faith—and it is estimated 75 per cent, of the population are Catholics—have much to seriously consider before casting the vote that will decide their destiny for good. or otherwise into the plebiscite urn. If their Catholic Faith is stronger than that hybrid nationalism that is paganising German thought and culture under Nazi dominance to-day, the issue on the 17th. of January next will be disconcerting to the authors of the new German testament which would deny Christ and His Revelation a place in the economy of the Nazi order. • • France has no real claim upon the Saar people or upon the rich coalfields, which are the reason for their existence. The defeat of Germany in the Great War threw the Saar people into the unhappy condition of a scapegoat. The natural wealth of the coalfields was looked upon as most desirable by France, maimed and sorely treated by the tragedy of war, to retrieve at least part of the loss she had sustained in her tragic fight for self-preservation, and she claimed the Saar Valley, and incidentally its people. on three grounds. the strongest one of which was that the Saar produces coal and France wanted the Saar in compensation for the destruction of her own mines. The story is a long one. A compromise was reached. The Saar mines were surrendered to France for a period of fifteen years. Under a special form of Government. set up by a Commission responsible directly to the League of Nations, France has been enabled to exploit the Saar mines without hindrance from Germany. For a long while troops were battened upon the people of the Saar, and the atmosphere was not pleasing; but time blunted the edge of the Saarlanders' grievances, and to-day, immune from the arrogances of Nazism, they are peaceful and contented, going their daily rounds unmolested by political or religious aotocrats. Their fifteen years of penitential servitude have passed. and France waits expectantly for the issue of the plebiscite— the odds are in favour of the Saar people returning to their old affiliation. • • But that eventuality is not so very certain. There is a French town in the Saar—Saarlouis—which hold 200,000 Catholic votes, which are giving concern to Herr Hitler—he wants those votes. What these vote's ma); do is at present the source of many interesting conjectures. Herr Hitler is showing acute anxiety in connection with the approaching plebiscite. and if he be an astrologer he maw have read something in the courses of the stars not at all encouraging to his hopes. By every means available to him and his lieutenants, he is checking the flow of information to the Saar, lest a true knowledge of conditions in Germany might change the course of the Saarlanders' thought. An adverse vote would mean the eclipse of the Nazi sun and the end of the Hitler regime. The vote will be a free one. Every provision is being taken to ensure freedom of choice by the people. Unless they are being drugged by false hopes the result ttlaV he that they will decide to remain as they are, under the League of Nations. There is always the chance of their gaining autonomy for themselves and erecting a new State where they could go their ways in peace and preserve their national t raditions. their religion. and home life, free from harsh political interference. Under Hitlerism in Germany. Catholic worship and Catholic Action have been maltreated by the tyranny of individuals who, cursed with a little brief authority., do such fantastic deeds be, fore high heaven as make the angels weep.

The death of M. Raymonli Poincare occasioned widespread manifestations of sorrow. The French newspapers paid their tribute to his memory by appearing with a deep black border. He was undoubtedly one of the greatest European statesmen of his time, famous as President of the Republ:c throughout the years of the Great War, and as Premier at crises in his country's history. Aged 74, M. Poincate had returned to Paris from Sampigny a fortnight before his death, and since then had been more or less confined to his room Even his doctors were sur prised at the suddenness of his passing. On the morning before his death, a little before daybreak, the ex - President had received in full possession of his faculties the Last Sacraments. His wife and his sister-in-law were present at the last sad scene. At the lying in State in the Pantheon a large crucifix lay upon the dead statesman's breast. The body was subsequently taken to the Cathedral of Notre Dame for the religious service. The intensely human side of M. Poincare's char acter stands out in the reply he once. gave to the question put to him by a newspaper: "What is the dream your life?' He answered: -To live of in the calm of my native countryside, far from the Bar and far from Parlia ment, amid chosen books and familiar animals. avoiding bores and preparing (cr death without having to lie twice on an operating table." M. Poincare was a Conservative Republican He used his influence to stop the perse tion of the Church. and by stabi cto lising the franc saved France from national bankruptcy. At the conclusion of his Presidency a signal tribute was to him when Parliament voted paid that "Raymond Poincare has deser ved well of his country." On his way out to Buenos Aires in the liner Conte Grande. the Papal Le gate, Cardinal Pacelli, made friend s with a small boy.

Midnight Mass in Buenos Aires MEN MAKE CONFESSIONS IN Mr. Rhodes- Harrison, writing from the "Universe," gives Buenos Aires to the following strikiag picture of the Midnight Mass during the Eucharistic Congress: Buenos Aires. as a result of the International Congress, has entered upon a badly needed spiritual renaissance. Almost incredible scenes were witnessed during the procession of 500,000 men to Midnight Mass in the Plaza Mayo Many men Oho had not approached the Sacraments for years made their confessions as they marched, packed tightly, up the Avenida de Mayo. Dominicans and Franciscans were able to improvise a confessional with their cloaks, but the secular clergy, as they walked side by side with their penitents, could only place an arm r ound the men's shoulders. And when the Masses had ended, much the same sights were seen inside The confessionals the Cathedral. proved inadequate, and every bench and corner in the great building be. came a tribunal of penance. Priests were sitting on the very altar steps as Mass was being celebrated while men, of every colour and social caste, whispered in their ears. So great was the crush in the procession that the rearguard was unable to get within a mile of the altars Scores of priests took the Blessed Sacrament by Underground and gave Holy Communion in the streets. Saturday in Congress Week was dedicated to Our Lady of Lujan, to whose image above the altar 7.000 solAlliN41.0111P+

diers and sailors rendered military honours. Before the Mass began, 10 soldiers were baptised in front of the great Cross in Palermo Park, while the whole huge congregation clappd and cheered. Other soldiers went to confession as they stood in their ranks, and later, 3,000 made their Holy Communions. The President, General Augustin Justo, with his officers communicated at the hands of the Cardinal Archbishop of Paris. The Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon went down among the soldiers to give them their Communions. The Legate, who arrived at the end of the Mass, received a tremendous o vation as, standing up in his car, he made a slow circuit of the Cross among the students of the Military College. So great was the crowd, and so keen the enthusiasm of the soldiers. that His Eminence twice disappeared from view upon the seat of the car. Eventually a General placed an arm around the Cardinal's waist and so supported the Legate, his face beaming with joy, stretching out his hands for the throng to kiss. The President and Government did everything in their power to make he Congress a success. The President's steady piety and admirable public utterances have been an inspiration to the nation. From the moment when he received the Legate at the port, until he walked behind the Blessed Sacrament in the final procession, General Jtesto identified himself heart and soul with every effort which might aid the Coagress to be a great act of national faith and devotion Very affecting was the spectacle of 107.000 white-clad children making their Communion in Palermo Park. #ms•-ca•-miaamaao.+4.• •••4w•-•.••.•ass•••
