His kingdom might be in this world, but it was not to be of this world And it is impossible to imagine Him absorbed by any of the affairs of this world. •
Are Not All "Sons of God"? After all, according to the Christian conception, all are sons of God. All who are in the grace of Christ are sons of God by a spiritual regeneration on a spiritual plane which far transcends any earthly relationship. This does not emancipate us from earthly duties arising from our natua/ reondition whilst in this world According to this. any sort of war would be a civil war. That does not follow. For our supernatural sonship of God through Christ ie by grace in the spiritual and supernatural order. That does not interfere with each man's civil duties to his earthly country and ruler. Christ Himself taught this when He said. "Render to God the things that are God's: and to Caesar the things that are Caesar's." He would not admit that our duties to God superseded all duties to our country and nation. And the lawful authority of different rulers in the temporal sphere of different rulers in the temporal sphere cannot hut result in different civil allegiances. Since men go to war, not because they are on of God in christ. but because they P re citizens of different earthly c o,mt•-ie--. all war, are not civil wars.
Can you imagine Jesus taking part in a civil war? Civil wars are less justifiable than other wars; and therefore a much more serious reason would be required to render them lawful. But, as I have just said that I cannot imagine Jesus taking an active part in any war, your question is answered.

Is it not the fact that Jesus was immoveably a pacifist? it is not a fact. Though temporal, political- and national matters were outside the scope of His mission, He did not condemn them. His mission was to teach men spiritual truths for the good of their souls, and to redeem Without any con. them from sin. demnation of earthly warfare, He ever, chose analogies from it in order to II And lustrate His higher teachings.

FROM PRESERVATIVES
Italy and Abyssinia Are you., on the whole, satisfied about the course of events in Abyssinia? On the whole, yes. It would be impossible, of course, to sanction every individual element in any campaign. What I mean is—do you. as a Christian, not feel a little uneasy that the Italian way of settling that argument was a trifle un-Chri.stian? As I have said, I do not go bail for e eery individual occurrence in that war. But, in the light of all the facts, not all of which by any means were given to the public by our press-cables, by the armed .invasion of Abyssinia Italy was more than justified, and in conflict with no Christian principles. That is my own opinion. The Catholic Church, of course, declares that no unjust declaration of war can ever he lawful. It is purely a matter of personal opinion as to whether this or that particular declarat:on of war is just or unjust. If unjust, it would not be lawful. But I do not personally believe that the Italian invasion of ,Abyssinia was unjust. To substan. tiate mv opinion would mean the citation of too many documents, and w ould take me quite outside the scope of these talks.
The Moral Problem for Australia If you approve of what Italy did in Abyssinia, you could hardly complain if some other strong nation treated white Australians in the same way. I have not said that I approve of what Italy did in Abvssinia. On the whole the action taken was justified under the circumstances. But even though violent measures were justified in the repression of violent wrongs. I do not approve of violence as such I am satisfied that Italy was justified. hut I wish that there had been a peaceful way of settling the difticill• ties But the Abyssinians would not perir it that After ally there is practical slavery here in Australia fcr the aboriginals.

Our treatment of the aboriginals would certainly not warrant invasion. Nor are we regularly raiding the territory of other nations, and calmly disowning responsibility. Evelyn Waugh. the English newspaper correspondent who went out to Abyssinia, and made himself thoroughly familiar, with all the circumstances, says that Italy showed a patience during six years prior to the invasion which England would never have shown, and that the invasion es Abyssinia would have been justified at any period during that six years. We can, then, banish the idea that the fac tors which justified the invasion Abyssinia by Italy are equally vaft I for the invasion of Australia by some other nation. Yet there does rema.iii a moral question as regards Australia. from another point of view.

The Development of Catholic Education in Australia La Salle. He developed the class system of instruction where pupils of equal age, talent, and development were taught together. Formerly, each child was given separate instruction. He taught the common people; he established schools where his masters would be trained before they were sent out to take charge of a class; he inspired a largt number of young men to devote their lives to the work, and these he organised as the Brothers of the Christian Schools. No man did more to develop modern education. His was a plan to educate the people. His schools were organised, his Brothers trained and efficient. He trained as well lay-teachers for the parish schools of France. In a century the Brothers of de LaSalle had opened 129 schools in France, where 1.000 Brothers taught 36,000 children. This great organisation for popular education was wiped out by the French Revolution in 1792; it rose again when peace was restored.

Large Families Supply Most of Young Priests For Church in Austria
About 300 theological students have become priests in recent weeks in Austria. This considerable figure for a country of but six million inhabitants was all the more remarkable due to the fact that in one large Austrian diocese no priests were ordained this year because of the change from a five-year to a six-year course of study.

Families of all classes feel greatly honourecl, if one of their sons becomes Not less than 50 of a priest. the above-mentioned 220 young priests are children of clerks and 48 are sons of manufacturers.

Whatever the Australian people can intelligently conceive in their minds, and will loyally support, that can be done, and I will do my utmost."

Before proceeding further, it is also essential that the public should be apprised of the fact that they have been deliberately deceived and misinformed upon the question of the supply of money, and furthermore, that such carefully calculated misrepresentation has been specially promulgated by those to whom the control ot money means the control of everything. To further illustrate that point, I would refer you to a quotation made by Rothschild in 1790, when he said: "Permit me to issue and, control the money of a nation and I care not who Such a quotation. makes its laws." coming from Rothschild clearly shows The figures of our national debt to what extent everybody—including alone are quite sufficient to ;lake any courtthe the so-called Government of right thinking persons sit up and take try —is dependent upon, and is sub notice.

The Path to Peace
The report of M. Litvinov's speech at Geneva, published during the week, made bitterly amusing reading. The Soviet Commissar of Foreign Affairs dealt with the ill-mouthed subject of "the organisation of security in Europe," and so fairly did he speak his part that the delegates were deeply impressed and warmly applauded him. Two proofs of sincerity on the part of Russia were agreed upon in the lobbies. Firstly, though the Soviet regarded National Socialism and Fascism as enemies of civilisation, it had not preached nor crusaded against them. Secondly, it had adhered to the principle of non-intervention in Spain, though not convinced of its justice or wisdom. Although at the moment it suits both Britain and France to fraternise with Russia, we cannot believe that anyone was genuinely deceived by M. Litvinov's heroics, except in a polite diplomatic fashion. 111 The Soviet's claim in regard to propaganda in Germany and the Fascist States is probably more or less true. Except that M. Litvinov did not think it worth while to add that the only reason for Russia's inactivity in this direction was the fact that CommunAs to Spain. M. ism is ruthlessly suppressed and penalised. Litvinov's claim of non-intervention will go down to posterity as Russia poured trained anarchists the huge international joke. into Spain in preparation for the civil war, and has poured in money ever since to support the Red Government. But the main point of Rti sia's allegedly "outspoken" speech has been completely missed. When coupled with the endeavours for World Peace o f certain organisations. consciously or unconsciously under Communist control, the naive observer and their name is legion) might well exclaim: "At least Communism is the most forceful and persistent protagonist for World Peace." It seems to have escaped all the vague, brotherly souls in the Peace Movements that Communism of its essence is dedicated to perpetual strife. Karl Marx interpreted all history as thy clash of In strict economic forces, resultant in inevitable class warfare. logic the Communist cannot cease from struggle until all class barriers are levelled and the Great Rosy Dawn smiles out upon the classless World State. They have followed their philosophy with unswerving fidelity. Wherever the Soviet's agents have gained a footing there has followed anarchy, bloodshed and vandalism. The What deceives so many is that' the warfare is not open. Communist is not harassed by scruples of morality, which demands some consonance between the words of the mouth and the intentions of the will. Thus with insidious subtlety, the Marxists have insinuated themselves into these large organisations working for World Peace. because their innocent members do not realise that peace cannot he imposed by externals from without. There is only one path to peace. and that is the path of Christian justice.
Dispensation for Divorce? Our correspondent, T.S.M.,' presumably refers to a report which appeared in the local press on September 12, to the effect that Maureen O'Sullivan, the well-known actress, recently obtained Papal dispensation allowing her to marry Mr. Farrow, who had The implication, of course, is that a divorce can been divorced. he granted by the Pope and that the chances of obtaining same are A misrepresenin direct ratio to the size of one's bank balance. tation of this kind arises from one of two reasons. There is either lack of proper sources of Catholic information, or the intention to misrepresent the truth in order to cast suspicion on the integrity of the Church. The suggestion that money talks the language of the Roman Rota is absolutely unfounded. For, in 1935, out of 80 cases heard by the Rota. 38 were carried out without any fee whatever. The details of the marriage case referred to are not known and probably will not be known. It is hard to conceive of one who is sincere and above reproach, seeking publicity on so personal a matter. Taking for granted that the Church was asked to give a decision, and found there were sufficient reasons for giving a decision, that decision did not give the right of remarriage to a man, validly married, whose wife is still living. There is probably the old, old confusion between divorce and annulment. The decision of the Church that a divorced person may marry is not a dispensation. It is a declaration that the marriage, attempted in the past, was no marriage in the eyes of the Church. It is not so much a decision giving permission to remarry, hut one which declares officially that the person really had the right to this proposed marriage from the beginning. Finally, these decisions are given with(tut fear or favour by a special court called the Roman Rota. Its procedure is legal and its decisions based on established facts.
A Grotesque Motion The final argument for the return of woman to her own sphere, the home, was to be had in the monstrously ignorant motion in favour of the Spanish Government carried at the Labour Women's Annual Conference in the Perth Trades Hall on Tuesday night. It may be claimed with justice that the men of the movement made equal fools of themselves in deciding to support But there is something especially horthe Spanish Government. rifying about a body of ‘votnen publicly pledging their support to anarchists, murderers, and libertines in a foreign land under the plea that these monsters stand for democracy. Again, there are particular reasons why Australian women should abhor the Red This enlightened "democratically elected Govhordes in Spain. ernment" allowed women to join in the orgy of blood on the Guadarrama front, and now cianpels them to arms in defence of Madrid. This same Government also issued arms to yiaing children and encouraged them to take their share in murder and pillage. There will doubtless be found in the ranks of Labour women mothers of families to whom these facts, attested by num'..)erless eye-witnesses, should appeal. Even supposing that all this were done in the cause of democracy, can it he justified? In that same conference, too, could have been found supporters of Peace—pacifists—who talk with exalted fever about the horrors of war, yet vote light-heartedly in favour of a regime characterised by such brutality and excesses against innocent people as were not dreamed It is no of by Attila and the Hun from the northern forests. longer possible to have any patience with that view of the Spanish War which explains it as a struggle between Democracy anti Fascism. The eat is well out of the bag. even in the capitalistic We read of the Government troops with their clenche,i Press. fists and the cry of "Long live Communism." It is only to bo hoped that no Catholic women were associated with that iniquitou. motion. Any Catholic men or women who proffer their suppt,r! moial or financial, to the Spanish anarchists, are traitors to theT1selves, to their religion, and to Western civilisation.

Poor Trotsky Th., is no more ill-used man
in Europe than Trotsky. He has had accusations levelled at him from all sides within the last few weeks. On the one hand he is c harged by his former Bolshevik f riends with organising, in cooperation with the Nazis, terroristic acts against the Soviet leaders. His name and character have been torn to shreds in the course of the big mass trial at ,Moscow. Zinovieff, abjectly c onfessing his own guilt, declared that Trotsky's role, as organiser and instigator of everything, was greater than his. Also; the "Daily Worker," organ of Moscow in England, stigmatises the arch -conspirator as "the very spear-point of counter-revolution to-day.- • On the other hand, many, including ourselves, believe him to be hand in glove with Stalin in leading an antiGod revolutionary movement in France, Spain, Belgium. Greece, and other countries. We have not forgotten the recent secret pact which caused Moscow and the Fourth International to join t orces, and has already resulted in an intensification of atheistic activity in Europe. To add to Trotsky's difficulties, the Norwegian authorities, evidently trusting him as little as we do, have been making all kinds of awkward inquiries into his private affairs, censoring his correspondence, and even threatening him w ith internment if he does not mend his little ways. To all of w hich this much-maligned Rus-ian replies that he is entirely innocent. and quite fails to understand why he cannot be allowed to live in peaceful retirement without a tremendous fuss being inntle of him.

We may be sure that his soul, in its last inconceivable isolation, was face to face with nothing less than God Incarnate and Christ Crucified Round about him stood all the brethren in their brown habits . . . and a man might fancy that the birds must have known when it happened and made some motion in the evening air, as they had once scattered to the four winds of heaven in the pattern of a cross at his signal of dispersion. We do not know whether any shiver passed through all the thieves and outcasts and outlaws to tell them what had happened to him who never knew the nature of scorn. But at least, in the passages and porches of the Portitincula, there was a stillness, when all the brown figures stood like brs)nze s tatues for the stopping of the great heart that had not broken till it held the world."—G.

Tuesday's Carnival was organised by the North Perth Stall, which received the proceeds. The night was wet and stormy. It was certainly bad luck for Mrs. Murphy. It was not the only slice of bad luck she has had this season. As a matter of fact every entertainment she has held this year in St. Mary's Hall has been on a wet night. Some wag said, by way of sympathy, that she had selected the wrong venue— she should have been on the wheat belt. Notwithstanding the boisterous conditions, she had a jolly fine carnival, and all present had a most plearecreation. "The surable night's Spots" were carried off by. Mrs. Wilkinson, Miss Bryan and Mr. Nrc-Farlane. The lucky cap by Mr. Harris and Miss Downey. All are looking forward to next Tuesday night's dance. Trams 15 and 16 drop you at the door of St. Mary's Hall. The Weekly Euchre drew a large attendance on last Tuesday night. keen play for one hour and three-quarters proceeded with the Something )in utmost smoothness. the nature of a record was put up-one player winning thirteen games out of the thirteen player!. There is always a rigid check up at St. Mary's, which is not only fool proof hut even rogue proof. The person who claims to win a certain number of games must actually have won them or else is disqualified. On next Tuesday night the first prize will be- £3 and 12 is available for the six selected games. The ticket is only 1/6 and no tax. When playing is over, players are free, without any extra charge, to go into the adjoining dangle ,hall and participate in the dance until 11.30 A Bridge Night was held at Mrs. Clear' Oxford-street, Mt. Hawthorn. last Friday. in aid of the Children of Mary Stall. A Garden Party took place in the Convent grounds on last Saturday. in aid of the Convent
A very successful Children's Ball was held in St. Joseph's Parish Hall on Thursday evening, September 24. The number of young people who danced to music supplied by Mrs. I3urke's orchestra was very large, and owing to the variety of fancy costumes, the judging proved difficult. Mesdames C. M. Davis and Broomhall acted in the capacity of judges, and Miss P. Esler led the grand march. The committee, _comprising Mesdames J. Jones, Pusey, •Heagney, Ford. ham and Miss McGovern, assisted by Children of Mary, provided a dainty supper, Gentlemen who assisted the committee were Messrs. Williams, J, Jones, Pusey, B. Heagney and Fort. The proceeds of the ball were generously donated towards the defrayment of the parish debt, and the Rev. Administrator is grateful to the Rev. Sisters and all who contributed towards making the ball a success. An enjoyable day was spent last Sunday, when a bus trip wa: made to Canning Weir. Those who made the trip were shown over the construction work of the dam, and every detail e xplained, which proved very interesting and instructive. After inspecting t he works, some of the party played "indoor tennis," which was new to e veryone and proved very popular, whilst others decided to do more 'hiking.- Several members were a little more adventurous and "slipped in for a dip." In the evening a dance was arranged and everyone was sorry when the time came to leave for }tome. It was a great pity r.iiat more parishioners did not avail themselves of the opportunity of making this trip. Thanks are due to Mr. T. Crowe. of Canning Weir, and his assistants, who did everything pos-;ible to make the outing a succea • Novelty Carnival. E verything is now in readiness foe Monday evening next, October 5, which promises to be a gala night for the parish ,and all that remain,: now is for each and everyone to come along and make this dance the biggest success of the season.

Defection from Government ,Ranks
Nips,
rIrtnimPr
Spanish Liberals Join the Nationalists. Unamuno Changes Sides. A surprising defection from the Spanish Government to the ranks of the Nationalists is that of Miguel de linatnuno. Born in 1805 at Bilboa, the son of Basque parents, after a brilliant student career, he was appointed Professor of Greek at Salamanca University where he later became Vice-Rector. In 1924 he was removed from both these posts and exiled as well for interference in politics by Primo de Rivera. In recent times Unamuno, who is nearly 80, has publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the achievements ot the Republic, and particularly with the failures of Senor Azana.
Not Alone.
This change of front by an advanced "Liberal" who is supposed by many to have been a -ariving force in the war against the Catholic Church within the last 30 or 40 years, is significant. Recently raised to the position of Rector of Salamanca University, he has won considerable fame as a writer and philosopher. Unamuno has not been alone in his transfer: with him has gone another Government supporter. M. Lascaris. who claims to be descended from the B \- zantine Emperor Theodore Lascaris, and who in consequence calls himself "Prince" Eugene and poses as a claimant to the Greek throne and the Empire of Byzantium.

"The Little Flower" on the Screen '`Having been honoured by special invitation to a private screening of the 'Life of the Little Flower, we now, without hesitation, pronounce this picture as the truest portrayal of Catholic religious life that has ever been featured on the screen, and we recommend it unreservedly to our people.''
Asked for his opinion regarding the picture, Very Rev. Father Kelly, on behalf of His Grace the . Archbishop, said:
His Grace, Archbishop Kelly, Sydney: -On competent authority, we recognise that the film, The Little Flower: is praiseworthy in all details. It is therefore desirable that it be patronised by all who seek good films. And. therefore, we willingly extend our °thrill patronage and corniormdation."
The Apostolic Delegate, Dr. P. Bar-. nar dini "I regret that I will not be able to a ttend the premiere of 'The • Little Flower' film. "I assure you, however, that any movement that has for its object the improvement of the cinema from the moral standpoint has my complete and enthusiastic approbation." "With every best wish.' Rev.

Enduring Memorial to Young Catholic Poet. A lasting tribute to the Ameilean Catholic soldier-poet, Joyce Kilmer, perhaps most widely known as the author of the poem "Trees," was paid in the midst of a magnificent virgin forest in the Blue Ridge mountains near Robbinsville, North Carolina, when the impressive wood-clad area was dedicated to his memory. Spokesmen for the Nation and the State participated, and the simple ceremony took place about a huge boulder amid trees towering 200 feet overhead. The
area is a part of Nantahala National Forest and is to be known henceforth as the Joyce Kilmer Forest. Presiaent Roosevelt wrote: "It is particularly fitting that a poet who will always be remembered for the tribute he embodied in 'Trees' should find this living- monument. Thus his memory is forever honoured and one of nature's masterpieces is to be set aside to be preserved for the enjoyment of generations yet unborn."

Cardenas—Communist.
striking T here are indeed phenomena to be witnessed in The specthis unique Church. tacle of hundreds of thousands of healthy, normal young men and women, voluntarily leaving their dearest friends on earth to embrace lives of poverty, chastity and obedience would be an arresting sight even if it were occurring in every religious body But when the in the world. spectacle of men and women giving up riches, marriage and /independence can be seen only f,,r in the Catholic Church and cannot be seen outside that Church, it causes even greater pause especially if one recalls that the One Who counselled poverty, ehastity and _obedience was _none other than Jesus Christ. -
Lazar() Cardenas, the tyrant of Mexico, is •certified by Moscow, and speaks the language of the proletariat. Though he denies it, the fulfilment of his programme can carry but one label —Communism. His ideal is the Marxist machine State, and his religion the driving hatred of capitalism and its supposed ally, Christianity. This is clear from his' education policy, which, as the "Herald" indicated in its article recently, is at the root of the religious conflict. Vazquez Vela, whom Cardenas has placed in charge of education, is .systematically corrupting the nation's schools with atheistic and proeducation. tniscuous sexual uninterrupted, Vela's secretary, Gabriel Lucie), An intense, activity has recently completed four litworld -v. idg spiritual Catholic tle books for children in rural pulses !Ai rough the Church v..hich finds no counter- schools, containing CommunisAs the sun tic assaults on capitalism, reprepart f' kowhere. journeys across the earth, it sees sentative government and ChrisReaders will soon be e vtrywhere a glittering golden tianity. forest as the priests of the world able to read an up-to-date and lift up the chalices at Mass. documented summary of MexiFrom the. churches and convents can affairs in a pamphlet, entitstrung. around the globe, there led "Red Rule in Mexico," to be adoration published next month by the Caceaseless ascent ts every . minute, every day, every tholic Truth Society.

Dear Ewart and Marjory,-1 do hope you didn't get a pain in your eyes trying to find your letter last Sunday, but a gentleman came to our place who knew a good bit about all the saints in the Litany so I took time off to listen to him, and that's what decided me to put Adam and Eve in this week. I hope you will bow to Queen Nancy when she comes to town, and thanks for helping the 13.13. AUNT BESSY. G.S.R. Dear Aunt Bessy,—The Archbishop paid Northam a visit recently and made a lovely speech. My brother, Bob, has joined the military and he looks just It in uniform. He says it isn't too bad in camp, hut I think it would be bad if war came. We are not sending the cards in this letter, but they will reach you later, and please let us have a book of tickets, as I am sure some of the Northam folk would like to take a chance of winning S t. Philomena. So Rodney thought I was lost! Well, he was right, because I am lost in Northam as the place is new to me. Love from The Three Blind Mice. and ME. Dear "Me."—Many thanks for coming back to the Corner—Tiddles was just about thinking she would never see the Three Blind Mice again You say a big prayer that God will give peacg, to the world and then Bob can still continue looking just It in his uniform.

We have a little dog and it is a fox terrier; her name is Super Power Chief; we call her Super for short. My little baby cousin, who is staying with us, is to be christened at St. Mary's Cathedral this afternoon. Well, I must close now. Wishing you luck in receiving the £1,000 by Christmas.—I am, your nephew, LEO LEUNIG. Dear Leo,—Congratulations on calling your litle dug "Super," for short, for if you knew anything about the "soupers" that boasted an "u" in their name you would know how well it titted anything in the "fox" breed. I hope the wee cousin enjoyed being christened better than I did, for I'll never forget how I cried when the priest christened me Mary Ann. .AU N T 13 ESSY Northam.

I'm so glad you didn't have it preserved in eau de cologne like Mary Snoggins had hers, because you'd always be more or less lonely every time you looked at it. Thank you and my other four splendid soldiers for the big donation you sent. I think you must have a way of your own in gathering in the cash, and I am grateful to those who give and those who collect, because both parts mean selfsacrifice.

To "The Dear Little Shamrock" My "Dear Little :-hamrock,- you've sprung up again, Like the plant from Loughre a.s holy sod, To carpet a path for the Rushies. small feet, That will lead to the Mountains of God. I had just begun wondering with thoughts of alarm, Were you going to leave me in the lurch, When your cheque for "The Fiver" was put in my In the sacred precincts of the church. I spoke to the Lord and murmured my thanks, For the gift of this pleasant surprise, And begged for a fountain of blessings on you, While those present began to surmise— "It's money she has," said an Argus-eyed lass, Who knelt at the back of my pew; " You've only to look at the smile on her face, To find what I'm saying is true! •' It is four months or more since we met for awhile, You were bashful as bashful could be, As you toyed with a scone and blushed like a rose, When I offered to sugar you tea. You talked of the Bushies and praised up the Scheme, But how could I sue you for cash. When you plaintively mentioned the "calls" that you had, And the fear that your bank would go smash?

"The Man With the Club-Foot."
The man with the club-foot is one ot the most ingenious and sinister secret agents in Europe. It is to him that the task is assigned of regaining possession of an indiscreet letter written by the Kaiser. Desmond Okewood, a y oung British officer with a genius for secret service work, sets out to thwart this man, and incidentally discover the w hereabouts of his brother.

In "The Man With the Club-Foot,Valeotine Williams has written a thrilling romance of mystery, love and intrigue, that in every sense of the word may be described as a good thriller.
