Red Emissary in Spain The presence of Bela Kun in Spain as, an active agent of the revolutionary movement and a persona grata to Spanish revolutionaries is a bad omen for Spain.

(Robles' Brief Hour of Achievement The Left Ride Rough-shod Over the Constitution Roots of Upheaval are Atheistic Education and un-Christian Treatment of Workers From May to the middle of December, 1935, Spain enjoyed the fruits of a peaceful Administration k Gil Robles and six Ministers oi his party were now in the The unetnc oalition Cabinet.) ployed figures - were reduced to 200,000, excellent results in finances were effected, the half -year e stimates were likewise adopted, and several Bills passed which f urther reduced unemployment. As a result of public confidence which had been almost extinguished during the four years of e xtremist rule, was re-established and made possible the creation of new industrial concerns and the Agrarian Reform Amendment Bill. The spiteful and tinexpropriations constitutional without indemnity (Senor Marcelingo Domingo's work) were cancelled. This opened the door to the tenants becoming their own masters, and the labourers becoming first, tenants, and then The consmall land owners-. version of gold bonds saved the Treasury 167.000.000 pesetas. and the military re-organisation, undertaken on the advice of military experts, restored efficiency and discipline to the Spanish A host of other useful Army. measures were also passed. This period of reconstruction came to an end through the political intrigues of the Socialists and their allies, namely Azana's diminutive party (Accion Republicana). Martinez Barrio's (Union Republicanal. and the anarchist elements. As soon as Senor Caballero was released from prison he wrote in his party organ newspaper. "El Socialista.” an exciting article calling on his Red followers for a new insurrection. At the same time Senor Prieto. from his place of exile (Belgium).. in ..complete accord with the Moscow tyrants. arranged to unite all the extremist parties into one wing of the Left. named the Popular Front. for the purpose of fighting together at After some the 1936 elections. time spent in the reorganising of the new wing, the coalition of all the Left parties was finally settled. and Senor Manuel Azana was elected their general leader. A pretext to remove Senor Gil Robles and the coalition Cabinet from office became urgent. for it was evident .that with such a Government presiding over the coming elections, there would not be any hope for the Left. The President accordingly dissolved the Right-Centre Government. and formed a new one according to his own heart (that of Senor Portela). Great was the astonishment and indignation of the country when this unconstitutional ukase became public. A deputation of political 1-adets went to see Zamora. to congratulate him for his pluck among them Senor Martinez Barrios.' Grand Master of the Spanish Grand Orient. agencable British The again. actiYe became cies splenignored the They did work done in six months through Gil Robles' influence. They reported that Zamora had become alarmed by a recent Actually. swing to the Right. however, there had been no st..ch s win.g„ hut steady and firm con-
solidation of the Catholics, a circumstance deliberately passed over by the news combines. Somebody had to be blamed for the new crisis, and, as usual, the Catholic leader was charged with the responsibility. He was supposed to have lost popularity among the masses because of imaginary wages cuts, monetary concessions to the Church authorities. The hidden reason of that crisis was given by the persecuted head of "Popular Action" in one of his speeches, after his dismissal. He had insisted on equal punishment for the leaders as well as for the rank and file in the October revolt. But Zamora had refused. apparently in the hope of saying his former colleagues, among whom was Don Manuel Azana.
SENOR MANUEL AZANA, A s the Cartoonist of "El Debate" Sees Him. The Prime Minister of the Spanish Republic it, is anticipated, will succeed in the campaign for the Presidency. His election is a dread prospect for the Church in Spain. He was responsible for the banishment of King Alfonso XIII.. the Cardinal Primate, and the Jesuits. He was arrested on October 6. 1934, for complicity in the Asturias revolt, but through the weakness of Lerroux and Zamora his death sentence was commuted. The new Portela Cabinet soon became the laughing stock of Spain• and in consequence the Cortes was suspended until the end of January, 1936. These measures being unconstitutional, the President was impeached by Senor Gil Robles, but rather than suffer an appearance in Parliament, he declared it dissolved and a decree was issued to the country calling for a general election. In an incorrupt democracy, consisting of civic-minded and politicallyeducated men and women, a general election should be dreaded by nobody. Rather it should be welcomed by the electors, who with their votes max' select their Executive (the Cabinet ,, and it might also be expected that the elected Executive would not go beyoni the mandates which the electors give it. Such, of course. is the ideal. In order to make it clear to the electors the issue for which the elections are conducted, speeches are made, catchwords are chosen, statistics are manipulated, and the printing press and every other device of propaganda is used, so that, when electors go to the polls they ought to be able to exercise their power in a calm and judicial temper. Although Spain, according to the first article of the 1931 Constitution, is a democratic Republic. nobody has ever taken it seriously. The last vestige of democracy in that country was destroyed by the very founders of the new regime. Nobody dreaded the last ,February election more than the Left itself, as their leaders declared at almost every meeting. To terrorise the electors they proclaimed that in the event of defeat another October insurrection would be staged. Intimidated by such threats the country feared
With a great tear to use its voting power. The issue of the election was "continuance of the Revolution or a counter-Revolution." In other words, the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, or a decent constitutional democratic Government. No sane and unbiassed man could ever have expected that the Spaniards would fall of their own volition into the hands of the Muscovite agents, the gang responsible for all the tears and bloodshed of five long years of murder, destruction and savage upheavels. Only by returning to the old methods of the June, 1931, elections could the Left succeed, And the old methods were used again. Hundreds of votes were lost through intimidation, ballot boxes were smashed, and their contents burnt. Yet even so, at the second round, on March 1, it was found that the official results of the total count were: The Right-Centre had over five million votes for 210 seats, and the Left Popular Front some four million votes for 263 seats.

Why special protection should be given civil servants is difficult to understand. They are no more subject to such misfortunes as those which compel seeking the service of moneylenders than any other class. They have sure jobs with regular increments of income, and should consequently be able to plan ahead better than those not so fortunately placed. It is probably the very security of their jobs that leads them into difficulties. Usury certainly should be stamped out, but disciplinary action amongst the public servants themselves with a view to preventing their borrowing beyond their means and requirements might well he tried.

The Dewey Boulevard hugs the bay-side southward for two miles, and is very beautiful. Half-way down the Boulevard is the district called Malate. There is a very old church dedicated to Nuestra Senora de RemeFilipinos have told me that dios. even in their recollection this church was a shrine, to which many pilgrim. ages were made and at which raany f avours of Heaven were granted. The procession was to start from Malate and end in the New Luneta. Along both sides of the Boulevard, the lay-folk were assembled, Banners of every hue and shape announced the group to be this or that pious league Bands, orchestras, choirs or society. offered selections at every fifty feet But the effect in the open was not distracting. It was a strange sight to Occidental eyes to see a stringed band playing. The man with the bull-fiddle was brave indeed, and rivalling his courage was the cellist. Another odd sight was a bamboo orchestra, the instruments for the most part made of bamboo. The choirs were varied too. Splendid choirs from the academies sang beautifully. Others, more strictly Filipino, were mixed and usually There were imsang dialect hymns. promptu offerings besides. and, if we seek to praise, we can, at least, commend their earnestness.

It will not be necessary to give in detail all the programme. A few striking features, however, may not Ritigue.

Practically every one carried a lighted candle; hundreds of banners fluttered in the evening breeze; the w hite dresses of the school girls and the beautiful Filipino dress of the ladies; the gaudy camisa of the men; the many garbs of the Sisters and priests of the religious orders, the Bishops in their pontificals, the Archbis hop and Delegate kneeling at the altar, . made as colourful a picture as .1 have e ver seen. I have not forgotten the singing. There had been selected ten hymns, as official, and three were es.

One thing is clear, in reflection upon this event, that deep in the heart ct the Filipino is that Catholic sense which has survived the batterings of thirty years of Protestantism and in difference born of a condition of a decimated clergy and persistent oss judices of revolutionary days. course. the Church is by no means in a flourishing condition. Statistics are indications. But many ominous. among them the Congress, show that t he difficulty is not so much apostasy and hostility, as the lack of the worthy ministers of the mysteries of God. The desolation seen here is not the after math of ruthless destruction so much "How shall they believe as neglect. Him of Whom they have not heard?" "The fields are white unto the harvest: pray ye that the Lord send labourers The outcome ol unto His harvest." the Congress is cheering—and the hope is high that many vocations be the result of this 1•yal earnest public love of the Filipinos for the Eucharistic Lord-

IMITATION is the sincerest form of flattery, and the world-wide success of 'ASPRO' has produced a crop of substitutes in tablet form which resemble 'ASPRO.' Some of these imitations contain cheap and impure Aspirin, others are compounded from different ingredients, some of which can be positively injurious to the system. Any manufacturer can state that his medicinal product is pure, but it is quite a different matter to publish an authoritative statement that a medicine conforms to the standard of purity laid down by the British Pharmacopoeia (the guiding authority of the Medical Profession) . 'ASPRO' conforms with this standard and is therefore safe and pure, leaving no dangerous after effects — no doping—and furthermore 'ASPRO' does not harm the heart.

"MY IDEA OF A PERFECT TEACHER."
A Catholic teacher, besides having the qualities of an average instructor, must also possess the ability to train his subjects in the right direction, and place them on the path to eternal happiness. Such is my concept of a perfect teacher.
Children are too often condemned as having a voracious appetite for the cowboy and This is gangster type of film. not so, and their attendance at instructive films proves that they relish education when given in Films so interesting a form. such as the "Midsummer Night's Dream." have been screened especially for children, and the promoters were well rewarded for their campaign.

)e.finition
The report of the Nediunds Road Board debate and ultimate refusal of permission to continue the extensions to the Carmelite Monastery made tedious reading. It demonstrated how a body of men, in most matters characterised by solid common-sense and practicability, in some things can show a narrow obduracy and a for technical difficulties lightly veneered with a set of legal quibbles. There is no quarrel with their decision on the ground .hat since similar permissi3ns had been refused other denominations, it would be invidious to make an exception in favour of Catholics. That is quite fair. minded. The objection arises (net of the ridiculous technical classification of areas as either residential br institutional. It is a ludicrous distinction in so far as it is aimed strictly to enforce it, esp_tcially as the word "residential" appears 10 date to have baffled definition, either by the Board or its legal advisers. Apart altogether from verbal fisticuffs and legal hair-splitting, there is no good reason in all common sense for the Boar(l's rejection of the Carmelite extensions. If its members were merely conscientiously- scrupulous about technical difficulties, their course was ably and lucidly outlined by Mr. J. C. Smith. The formality of gazetting that portion of the ward as an institutional area would Though even this does not seem necessary. :)e simple enough. To attempt to keep a residential area strictly so is carrying the platter a little too far. Our civilisation has certainly slipped when a handful of suburban legislators who regard a Church as a blot on the landscape have the authority to prevent its completion. In •he best and most influentiai suburbs of the other capitals, Carmelite Monasteries are to be .titind. Is Nedlands grown so ethereal •ihat it cannot abide such things. The Board's attitude throughThe completed plans oet has been bewilderingly inconsistent. w ere passed by it without murmur of protest. It allows portion )1 the Monastery to be erected which is really an architectural disfigurement, and then prevents its completion into something hich would be veritably an adornment. • A t the commencement of the Christian era there came hitt-, being a phrase which expressed the exhaustive nature of a subject, t wo factors which admitted of no third alternative. "Now this is the Law and the Prophets." Very aptly might this be applied to Where the Law has failed we must return to the present case. the Prophets. The Board's legal advisers have proffered a definiCon of a public church which will not bear scrutiny. It hangs on the issue of numbers, and that issue, \Ye have shown, is irrelevant. They have now, it seems, to return to the Archbishop's definition which is at once much ;lder and more impregnable than that f the civil law. A public church is one where marriages, baptisms and funerals are conducted, and which is open to the public at all times. The Carmelite Chapel is. and will be, in no particular covered by this definition. and is therefore a private chapel, the Nedlands Road Board and the Law notwithstanding. The size of the chapel is another question which is irrelevant. If one has the money one may build as large an oratory as one wishes. No one could possibly claim that the Sistine Chapel was public, yet it is imposing in appearance and magnitude. The moot point is whether the new chapel, the construction of w hich is being opposed, is a public or private church. According to the legal advice, the seating capacity of the proposed building constitutes it a public church. Now, in view of previous discusion which established that the Monastery, as it now stands, is } Itrely residential. the que.:tif.in of seating accommodation appears irrelevant. A number of huighbouring- residents at present attend the chapel regularly with the permission if His Grace the Arch_ 'shop. From the legal viewpoint they must be regarded as the guests of the Carmelite Comtiunity, else the Nedlands Road Board has been conniving at a breach of the Town Planning Act in allowing their attendance tip to the preesnt. Now, if. say, 20 Catholics at present attend the chapel and the Archbishop's permission constitutes them as gue:-ts, there seems no legal reason why 200 or 250 might not attend in the same way. So it seems that Ole legal definition of a residential oratory or private church is inadequate since Unaffected by the question of the number of y le attending. There is. however, no petulance about the Catholic protest to t Le Road Board's attitude Petty persecution is no more alien to ra!holics than the major pogroms against early Christianity or, in modern times in Mexico, Spain, or Russia. It has specially been mile of the spiritual phenomena which has accompanied Carmelite f oundations everywhere. Wherever the daLghters of St. Theresa have set up their monasteries, dedicated to prayer and penance, it has been found that great blessings and spiritual favours have de(MI that place. But, of course, supernatural gifts do not ;11.i-ays arrive in quite the expected fashion, or in complete conformity with human aspirations. God works through strange channels .and none stranger than persecution. It has been a privilce-e among religious Orders never to ha‘'e been completely without the Cross. In the present instance it is only a splinter of the Tree, but it carries its weight of inconvenience and annoyance. Yet even the pagans believed this type of conflict to be essential "Per ardua ad astra." to ultimate success.
To all intents and purposes the Italian campaign in Abyssinia is triumphantly concluded. Despite the machinations of the Great Powers in the face of a rival and the ceaseless press propaganda, Mussolini has pursued his purpose resolutely to the end, and is now in a position to dictate the terms of the peace. It is rather futile to ftlminate against the Duce for over-riding the League of Nations when Germany and Japan had done precisely the same thing before him. The venom of the anti-Italian campaign can be attributed only to resentment against the rich economic and strategical advantages which Italy's victory has given her. That propaganda broke down completely under the humiliation of the Emperor's flight, for the papers had persistently shown him to the world as the personification of the gallant little Christian gentleman, always striking heroic poses it is true, but iietermined to stand by his people to the end. Well, the Negus did not fulfil expectations and the publicists have shared his ignominy. The Duce has tried in this last phase, if the cables may be t rusted in this matter, to play the diplomat, declaring that the League of Nations is elsential and offering to assist in its reformation. However humorous that may sound, Mussolini's assurances aboht desiring no further colonies ring genuine enough. He has a large, rich country at his command, and what is more he dominates the Mediterranean, the trade route to the East. To mane this seems inevitably to promise a Mediterranean conflict for Britain vill hardly relinquish her monopoly without struggle. The immediate question. however, is whether anything can done with the fragments of the League.

His Grace the Archbishop made a short address, in which he congratulated the men of the parish on the fine attendance. As a priest and a Bishop he had had occasions of joy and pride, but on none more than on that night when the men of the parish had gathered in such numbers to do honour to the Holy Name. He was most anxious that the Society would flourish throughout the Archdiocese, as it was a remarkable power for good.

(By V. G. E. As the value of all horses, provided they are sound, is to a great extent dependent on their age, one of the first things to concern you in inspecting an animal should be to ascertain its age. This may be readily done by examining the front teeth, from the appearance of which the horse's age can be pretty accurately judged 'until he is eight years old. After he has reached that age it becomes a more difficult matter to say exactly how old an animal is—but as it is inadvisable to buy an "aged- horse (over 7.) unless his previous history is known, this fact is not of very much consequence. It is often assumed that it is a difficult matter to tell the age of a horse by his teeth, but in reality it is a very easy thing, and the necessary knowledge can easily be acquired by an amateur. The system of judging the age of a horse by his teeth is based primarily on two factors.

The mission grounds are now a picture, the outstanding crop being a goodly patch of rice, which promises an abundant harvest. But serious as was the threatened drought, there is another and more definite drought prevailing. January and February has a financial been drought that is most disheartening. As the mission expends its needs grow ever greater—the natives, the poorer ones at least, have always to be helped in little ways that in the aggregate make a large demand on the slender sources of the bank book. Add, too, the necessity of buying farm implements, fencing material, tools, etc., and an estimate of the difficulties of the priest may be had. This is more alarming since launch repairs, which could not be avoided, have cost over £50, and, but for the good offices of a very kindly neighbour, who has given time and labour to the job, would have cost as much again. For those Catholics. better blessed with
this world's goods, a five pound note, or a single, would reap a good harvest from the prayers of the devoted native Catholics of Remember that Palm Islands. these missions are very dear to the heart of the Holy Father, the Pope of the Missions, and this particular one, Palm Island, received special commendation from His Excellency the Apostolic Delegate.

Rev. Fathers Gorey and Scanlon. C.SS.R., arrived in Kalgoorlie on Saturday last to conduct a fortnight's Mission at St. Mary's. The second Sunday after Easter, being one of the appointed feast days for the Conferences of St. Vincent de Paul, it was observed in the prescribed way. Members and benefactors of the Kalgoorlie and Boulder Conferences met in St. Mary's at 3 pan. for Rosary, sermon and Benediction. Rev. Dr. Kennedy explained the purpose of membership of the Society and impressed on all the exacting duties implied by the word charity. After Benediction the members adjourned to the hall to listen to an instructive address by the President, Bro. E. Flanagan, who referred to the many works a waiting the attention of Golfields members. The Men's Conference has undertaken the sale of pious objects at the church door, and for this purpose a stall has been erected and well stocked. This stall will supply a long felt need, as it is the intention of members to keep the stall open even after the Mission has concluded. Master James Doogue has taken up duty in the mechanical department at the G.P.O., Perth. He is an ex-student of the C.B.C.. Kalgoorlie, from w hich school he passed his Junior Public at fourteen years of age. In the Postal Assistants' examination he secured highest marks in the State.
The ball has been thrown in and play is now on! The six stallholders in this year's bazaar have already matured the plan of campaign and work is now in full swing. "They are true to the last of their blood and their birth, and like reapers descend on the harvest of death." The appetite of the parish is already on edge and all things portend a full year and a successful one. The first item on the programme is our weekly dance in St. Mary's Hall. The Opening Dance is being organised by St. Mary's Children of Mary. In the past they have many a success to their credit. On this occasion they are determined to live up to their high reputation. They are leaving nothing to chance, but are working with a zeal and energy that spells success. The First Weekly Dance will be held next Tuesday night in St. Mary's flail. Oxford-street- Leeder.

On Sunday, 26th. ult., surrounded by a large and representative gathering from the Yilgarn District, the Right Rev. Anselm Catalan, 0,S.B., Lord Abbot of New Norcia, officially opened- blessed and dedicated to the service of God, the new St. Mary's Church in Southern Cross. The Lord Abbot, in his address, said for many years Southern Cross had felt the need of a worthy House of Thanks to the efforts and enGod. thusiastic service of their parish priest, Father Planas, the generosity of his brother in Spain, the help of generous support of those not of the Catholic Faith, and the fine work of the parishioners themselves, they had now accomplished a truly worthy and fitting Ifouse. Many., perhaps, continued His Lordship, would liked to have spared the effort for more urgent needs: but all worthy causes were accomplished by sacrifice, and the people had made that sacrifice. "The earth is the Lord's and the fulfilment thereof,' quoted the Lord Abbot. God accept this gift and Ile is receiving great consolation from your generosity. His Lordship then unveiled the foundation stone- a translation of the inscription on which reads: "This Church is dedicated to Our Lady of Montserrat by the Right Rev. Anselm M, Catalzm, 05,11.. Lord Ai, hot of New Norcia. 26th. .April, 1936." Followed the blessing of the build. ing and then High Mass commenced, at which over 200 attended. His Lordship, assisted by Rev. Fathei Ubach (deacon) and Rev. Father Peter (sub-deacon), celebrated and preached the occasional sermon. The music of the Mass was one of Dom Moreno's compositions. A fter Mass the bell was blessed. The bell was hung on a temporary tripod for the ceremony. It weighs 2cwt.. and was cast in Melbourne. The inscription is in Latin, and, translated. reads: • "My name is Mary of Montserrat; I call the faithful. A nd sound the praise.- of the Mother of God 1936. In the atternon His Lordship baptised two children in the new church and administered Confirmation to 16 candidates. On Monday. the 27th ult„ he celebrated Requiem Mass for all the deceased of the parish Later t hat day he visited the South, rn Mint-14/ . where he was received by the manager, Mr. R. M. Perkins. A s the report did not come to hand until Thursday morning, space was not available for a fuller account. Next week the ceremony will be giver in greater detail.

It is most encouraging to observe the fine start which is being made in the above competition. On Wednesday, April 29, Mesdames S. Lloyd and L.

The raffle of a 10s. note was particularly good and it would seem that these two "newbloods- have imbibed the raffling instinct of Mrs. Brimstone. This 10s. note went to a very deserving patron in the person of Mr. D. Sinclair. At the euchre Mrs. C. Smith annexed the first prize, whilst Mrs. G. Proud and Mr- K. Waddington divided the second. The proceeds, amounting to Eh, be careful. The opposition is not to know this—went to the candidature of Mrs. E. Chapman. Jennacubbine is staging a dance en Saturday, May 9. on behalf of Mrs. P.

There is a rumour in these parta that Miss Wood is working "tooth and nail" for her own candidature. She has been in the metropolitan area for the past month, so there must be thing doing.

why, then, should we blush at the lowliness of our God? The more profound it appears the more it forces us to love Him. Nevertheless, though Mary knew all the natural cares of motherhood, she was yet unacquainted with all those evils which are the penalty of sin—the sorrows and the heavy-heartedness into which all daughters of Adam must fall. We should not even say that her Motherhood was, like that of Eve, in the age of innocence; for as she was a greater than Eve so hers was the unparalleled happiness of preserving her Virgin purity in bearing the Divine Child. When Jesus was born, it was as when the ripe fruit is parted from the branch that bore it, so cheerful, so comfortable. and attended THE NATIVITY. with all joys N'as the coming of the Christ-Child into the world. "When earth and sky changed places for an hour, So Saint Luke shows us this And heaven looked upwards in a Virgin Mother. immediately upon human face.her deliverance. lavishing . upon her Holy Infant the cares ordinarily left to strangers : she enAs they entered Bethlehem velops Him in swaddling bands encounter the would they first and lays Him to rest amid the hostelry-, of which the Khan ot of straw the manger. modern Oriental villages is stilt To the east of Bethlehem there square enhuge copy, a fair a closed by porticos; here, under extend toward the Dead Sea one the shelter of some rude galleries, of the greenest of valleys.

Sunday: Christian joy springs from the love of God and our neighbour in. our hearts and from the emancipation of the soul from the bonds of selfishness, sin, passion, and bad habits.
He'll have friends where'er he goes, just as you did years ago, And perhaps they'll talk of things they may not want you to know. There are others of his age who will keep him company, But there's something he'll require only you have power to be. You've a higher place to fill. Pals can everywhere be had. What that youngster wants and needs is an understanding Dad.
Monday: A good Christian— this is to say, a Christian who cUltivates a Christ-like mind— radiates the sunshine of joy and good-will wherever he goes. He performs his duties cheerfully and observes the courtesies of every -day life amiably. Tuesday: The practice of fasting and abstinence and of other forms of self-denial does not produce depressing reactions. It develops self-control and willpower and thus greatly increases our ascendancy over the pull of sin and passion. It helps us to lead disciplined and wellregulated lives—thereby promoting the best interests of both body and soul. Wednesday : Virtue is carefree and lighthearted, whereas vice is never free from the tormenting reproofs of that ever-wakeful witness and sentinels within us which we call conscience. Thursday: Harshness, unapproachability, and a tendency to persecute are among the hallmarks, not of the devout Christian, but of the Pharisees of old and of his modern Puritan counterpart. Friday: Preachers, who speak above the heads of their congregation, should remember that it is not the food taken but the food digested that nourishes. Saturday: The only reason we are not saints is because we don't give God the facility for making us so.
Be his father! That's enough! When his time of play is through Let him know whate'er betide he may safely come to you. Be the father unto whom he can tell his every need And be sure of sympathy, for it's that he's bound to need. You are old and he is young. Mark the difference and be glad. He may never want for pals, but he'll often want his Dad. —Edgar A. Guest.
