A special Reuter cable from Lisbon reports an interview with the Spanish Catholic leader, Gil Robles: "It is an enormous error to say that the civil war in Spain is a fight between Fascism and Democracy. It is not at all. can say that authoritatively, because some of the Right factions have fought me as a parliamentarian and an enemy of Fascism." Senor Gil Robles, the Spanish Catholic leader, made this claim in an extensive interview with Reuter's correspondent here, the first interview granted to a British journalist. "I can assure you that in Spain Communism is fighting against nationalist forces," he "Senor Largo Caballero. said. the present Prime Minister, has always defended proletarian dicSince the February tatorship. election democracy has been ban-

Maureen O'Sullivan--Farrow Wedding DIFFICULTIES ARISING FROM CONFUSION In view of many enquiries received about the marriage of Mr. John Farrow and Miss Maureen O 'Sullivan, the NCAVC News Service of America has obtained the following offici41 statement from the Chancery Office of the Diocese of Los Angeles and San Diego:

He was formerly married to a non-baptised party who is This marof the Jewish faith. riage was dissolved by the Holy See 'in favour of the faith,' consequently. Mr. Farrow has been declared free to marry." This procedure is explained by the Very Rev.

"A ratified marriage implies t he valid and sacramental union between baptised persons, for the Church is immediately concerned iily with people brought under her authority by baptism. Therefore, the marriages of unbaptised persons amongst themselves remain outside the care of the Church, until one of the parties becomes a Christian by baptism. "In these cases of conversion it may happen that the unbaptised party is opposed to Christianity ; in fact, the fear of possible disturbance migiht even prevent a person from becoming In these circum a Christian. stances, and under certain condi' t ions, the marriage contracted in infidelity ma v be dissolved, even though it has been consummated. The procedure is known as the 'Pauline privilege.' since it was firs' promulgated by St. Paul.

R UMBLEmsz "He Stirreth Up The People" I don't think your talk over the air Rather is causes does any good. confliction amongst people. What is your idea of doing good? Leaving people perfectly peaceful and ntent with wrong ideas on the most Is the fact that peovital subjects? ple dispute over what they hear a sufficient reason for neglecting Christ's command to preach the Gospel to all The Pharisees said of mankind? Christ to Pilate, "We found this man He stirreth perverting our nation. up the people, teaching throughout all The High Priest of the Judea." Jews said to the Apostles, "Commanding, we commanded you not to teach in this name, and behold you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine." But Peter answered, "We ought to Terobey God rather than man." tullus attacked St. Paul, saying to Felix, the Roman governor, "We have found this to be a pestilent man, raising sealitions amongst all the Jews It seems, throughout the world.' therefore, that confliction amongst peo. ple is not a valid reason for silence on these matters. I can only advise you to adopt the philosophy of Gamaliel, who said. "Let it be. If it be of God you will be fighting even against God." Martyrs or Assassins? ‘.Aqua," South Coast: I would like your comments on the enclosed statements of the Rev. Wyndham Heathcote, of the Unitarian Church, published in the -Telegraph." wil1 !sal with them as briefly as Mr. Heathcote said that the priests killed in the Spanish Civil War were not martyrs, but assassins. He said that, and was challenged to prove it. The article you send was his effort to do so. Mr, Heathcote says, "If I were to offer r ewards to any one who would kill Catholics, I should rightly be described as an assassin." He would. But he would rightly be described as a fool if he seriously meant such a statement to be any inin conditions dication of present Spain. Apart from all other considerations, the Spanish Nationalists, supported by Catholics, are engaged in a defensive war against Communistic pirates. The very introductory conditions by which Mr. Heathcote hopes to prove his point constitute in them. selves a silly statement. * „ * Indulgence to Kill Communists When. therefore, Bishops in Spain offer indulgences to anyone who will kill Communism, they are rightly designated in the same way. It was cabled to our papers that the Bishop of Pamplona had offered 100 days' indulgence to those who killed Communists. Mr. Heathcote turns that Bishop into Bishops. That is an inaccuracy prompted not by eviYet redence, but by prejudice. stricting ourselves to the one Bishop who is said to have offered such an indulgence, I deny that he did so. Not a "cablegram" but a “fablegrom" brought that information to our shores. It was Communist propaganda manufactured for export. I have just received a copy of the document issued by the Bishop of Pamplona. It urges C atholics to defend their property against Commaigist looters and incen. diarists, but miNces no mention of any indulgences. I might point out, also, that the inventor of the news overstepped himself in jumping at the idea of 100 days' indulgence. If a Bishop grants an indulgence for some ,813iritual reasons, Canon Law restricts 'lin) to 50 days. But that is by the The fact upon which Rev, ,i-leatheote based his wild charge having collapsed, so does his assertion that the Bishop is an assassin. Or rather, his still wider charge based on •
this one fictitious incident, that all priests killed are not marytrs, but as•assins. Spanish Inquisition Mr. Heathcote goes on to say, "I advise the ecclesiastical authorities to r ead any accredited history of Spain, and note the following." The advice he gives has nothing whatever to do with the charge he made. But let us take his points briefly. "The Spanish Inquisition burnt alive 50,000 people, and inflicted lesser punishments with torture on 290,000 in an attempt to suppress freedom o f thought." Firstly, punishments inflicted by the Spanish Inquisition cannot be attributed to the Catholic Church. As Mr. A. H. Verrill, a Protestant writer, says in his book on the Inquisition, 1931, it was not until the Inquisition came under the dominion of the civil power that physical penalties were inflicted. And the Popes protested again and again against the excesses of those secondly, it is civil authorities. ridiculous to say that the purpose was the suppression of freedom of thought. The purpose was to suppress the treasonable intrigues of Moors and Jews to undermine both Church and State Thirdly, the figures given in Spain. by Mr. Heathcote, even despite his later correction, are a hopeless exaggeration. That much is certain. And whilst every historian accredited would admit that, none will allow that the actual lesser number can be stated with any accuracy at all. It is worth noting that Sir James Stephens, in his "History of English Criminal Law." shows that there were more executions in England than in Spain during the period when the Inquisition operated in the latter country.

"Spain. along with Czarist Russia, remained the most illiterate countries in Europe under the old regime." Death of " Jimmy Melrose Firstly, that requires proof; and, despite its being a general impression, Mr. Heathcote would be hard put to it to prove it. Secondly ,even granted a high percentage of illiteracy, what of it? There are two kinds of education, verbal and real. A man is not uneducated merely because he lacks book knowledge. Spain is an agricultural rather than an industrial country, and its people have a real education in things, being expert agriculturists and vintagers. But, e ven here, we must beware of exaggeration. In 1909, the Year Ferrer was executed as a Spanish criminal, State law insisted on a school for every 300 inhabitants, made attendance compulsory, and there were 2.350,000 children attending them.

T V DUDLEY, Managing Director,
Leslie McDonald, Port Kernbla, N.S.W. : . Among thousands of people in Australia, I learned with great sorrow of the death of Jimmy Melrose, the aviator. That is a tribute both to him and to yourself. Newspaper references spoke of him as modest, and brave, of excellent character, most devoted to his mother, and a great example to the youth of this country which he so loved. Such good qualities claim our admiration, justify our great regret at his loss, and should prove an inspiration in our own lives. Now my point is: Why was such a good youth taken from this world? His death was obviously due to an accident beyond his control, despite his great ability. That accident did not happen because of his oersonal goodness and integrity. And there is no particular reason wh-„, God should have prevented it by some miraculous intervention. He has subjected this world to natural physical laws which men, in their human wisdom, must endeavour to use. If men build an aeroplane which is not physically fit to stand natural physical strain, or if a well-built 'plane deterirates, an accident will occur, no matter who is in it. That the death of Mr. Melrose was caused by the particular accident you have in mind may be viewed both from his point of view, or ours. From his point of view, he had to die sometime, and considering the state of this world. it is not an unmixed blessing to be taken sooner rather than later. Then, too, considering his own individual life, God alone knows what awaited him had he lived on. From our point of view, the loss of such a man is serious, but who can say that we deserved to keep him? In any case, the matter must be left to God. It is little use our trying to puzzle out these things. We are not likely to arrive at a solution satisfactory to our minds; and if we did, it would probably be the wrong e xplanation. God's ways are often inscrutable; but you can be sure that they are for the best. Catholicism Excludes War . "Secretary," Socrateic Club, Sydney. Dealing with Christianity and pacifism, you stated on July 5 that if everybody observed the Catholic practice, there worad be no war. That is so. You see Catholic moral principles teach that it is never lawful to declare war unless grave injustice has been done. They also forbid all injustice. Therefore if all men lived according to Catholic principles, that w ould he the end of war. This entirely neglects the fact that there were wars when Europe was Catholic, and that even Popes connived at war. My statement does not neglect that fact. Your assertion that wars did

FOUR But that occur is, of course, trie. merely shows that not everybody was putting into practice the Catholic principles I have given. Presumably they were bad Popes, and the Catholics were bad Catholics. Sometimes Not necessarily. the Popes encouraged wars, as in the just defence of Europe against the invading Turks, or for the sake of repressing violent injustice. At other times, European kings declared war without consulting the Pope at all. But even that does not justify the sweeping assertion that "Catholics were bad." The average Catholic could be quite good, despite the ambition of princes. I merely want to steady up your exaggerations. I am quite prepared to admit that there have been bad and ambitious Popes, and also many Catholics who have not always acted up to Catholic principles.
Would a Catholic World Obey Catholicism ? Then have we any guarantee that, if the world re-embraced Catholicism, there would not still be bad Popes and bad Catholics; and things would be much as they were before? You may safely abandon all fear of future bad Popes. The legislation of the Church concerning the qualifications, and the method of electing Popes, has been so strictly framed, and is of such binding force, that it would be morally impossible for one to be elected who has not proved himself to be a man of the highest ability, integrity, and devotedness to the principles of Christ and of the Catholic Church. But, as such tests could not be applied to every Catholic. I must admit that there would he no guarantee, even if the whole world did embrace the Catholic religion, that there would be no bad Catholics; or that the injustice of some might not lead to war. If all were Catholics there would, of course, be less risk of such calamities; for all would at least hold the same principles, and the influence of the Pope for peace would he immeasurably greater than it is But, whilst men are human, things will go wrong in the best regulated families—and states. Our Lord was under no delusions on this point. He said, "It must needs be that scandals will come. but woe to him by whom they come." He expected them amongst nations, saying. "There will be wars and rumours of war." He expected them in His very Church, declaring that she would be a net holeffng good and bad fish; or, again, as a field of wheat oyersown with cockle, in which the cockle would he allowed to grow with the wheat until the final harvest. This is an unavoidable result of each man's having his own destiny in his own hands. The moral obligation to be good does not mean physical compulsion. Therefore I cannot guarantee Utopia, even did all men embrace Catholicism.
Lord Halifax Not Converted Why did not the late Lord Halifax, though apparently so near to Rome, become a convert to your faith? He was a convert to Catholic teaching and worship. But Catholic discipline and jurisdiction was beyond him. He was so absorbed by the idea that the Anglicanism he loved was somehow or other part of the Catholic Church that his judgment was clouded on the one point as to whether he should abandon the Church of England and submit to Rome, or not, He was a wonderfully good man; but wonderfully good men can make mistakes. Certainly he never saw clearly the obligation of joining the Roman Church, or he would have done so.
THE RECORD. It must be assumed, at least, that he was conversant with all the Catholic arguments, for he was in constant communication with Cardinal Mercier. I certainly believe that he had considered all the main arguments. And they absolutely convinced him that the Roman Catholic Church was undoubtedly the true Church. He constantly deplored the fact that the Church of England was not in visible communion with the Holy See. But he rather wanted the whole of the Church of England to seek unity with Rome than to go over alone. He knew that Rome regarded him as an outsider so long as he remained an Anglican, and this hurt him very much. Listen to his own words. In a letter to the Abbe Portal he wrote. "How can I make it clear in Rome that I believe in only one Church, and that my whole air* is to work for the return of the Church of England into the fold of Catholic unity, and to restore the relations which must necessarily exist between the English I3ishops and the successors of St. Peter." A man who can write like that is certainly convinced that the Roman Church is the true Church. But any man who admits that the Church of England should be within the fold of Catholic unity and is not, and that its Bishops should be subject to the Pope but are not, surely has the personal obligation to go over to Rome. Yet that is precisely what Lord Halifax did not see. He knew the arguments in favour of this obligation, but apparently they did not impress him. It was a lack of insight for which I would not hold him responsible. As Chesterton has said, "When you look at a thing for the hundredth time, you are in great danger of seeing it for the first time." He meant that "to know" and "to realise" are quite different things.
Gladstone Not Converted Why did such an intelligent man as William Ewart Gladstone remain entrenched in the Protestant faith? It was certainly not because Protestantism was true, nor because Catholicism was false. Nor was it because Gladstone was intelligent. Both Newman and Manning were equally intelligent, yet became Catholics. But it is easier to account for Gladstone than fur Lord Halifax. He had many more motives for remaining a member of the National Church than Halifax. and less knowledge of the ecclesiastical issues involved. Pascal hae rightly said that the heart has reasons of which reason knows nothing. And religion implies much more than merely intellectual conviction. It is deeply psychological, involving a yielding o-.f mind, heart and will. Reluctance on the part of any one of these factors can prevent a clear sight .of one's obligations. In Gladstone' both heart and will were opposed to his departure with Manning from Anglicanism: and I believe this prevent. ed his giving full intellectual attention to aspects of the problems which might lead in a direction he was not w illing to follow.
How Convert the Ordinary Man? If such people were not convinced of the truths of your religion, how can you hope to convince by reason folk of ordinary mental calibre? A s I have pointed out, Lord Hall. fax was convinced of the truths of the Catholic religion, and if he remained in a Protestant Chu,rch it was only because he .had persuaded himself that he could better help to bring it into unity with Rome by remaining in it than by leaving it. But to your present question I would say this: Firstly, I don't hope to "convert" people by reason. In itself, reason cannot be the road to faith, or you will give "brainy" people a better chance of attaining relieioes security merely

Art Treasures in Rome "Traveller," Sydney: Your session amuses my household on Sunday evenings. You should at least be grateful to me for providing you with the entertainment, despite my lack of remuneration for doing so. Why is the city of Rome crowded with churches in which are stored up most of the finest and valuable art treasures on earth The number of churches is due to the fact that, during the last 1900 Years many parish churches, special shrines. and chapels to various colleges. universities, and central houses of religious orders have been built in the great centre of Christendom. Not Trost of the art treasures or. earth are stored in the churches of Rome. A traveller who could suggest that they are must have sedulotislY avoided the museums and art galleries throughout the world. That such as do exist in Rome are amongst the finest in the world is due to tre high level of culture and genius of artists drawn from an Italian people whom those who write letters such as yours are only too ready to accuse of benighted ignorance and degradation when it suits them. That these works of art are pre. served in the churches of Rome is due to the fact that the artists had faith and piety enough to devote their genius to the fitting decoration of this church or that: and that the death of the artists did not make the authorities feel free to sell these offerings in honour of God's House to wealthy American tourists. As a result travellers like yourself are still able to see and enjoy them: though you are no more grateful for that. apparently. than You are for the amusement me sec,sion affords you
Priests, Popes, and the Poor Why are the priests fat and prosperous in Rome, whilst the poor beg for bread in the streets During my two years' residence in R ome I was more worried by the fact ,hat the beggars were fat and the priests were thin. Why does the Pope live in affluent splendour? He does not live in affluence. He lives more simply and frugally than you do; and works harder than any man I know. Any splendour of religious ceremonies in which he takes part is in honour of God: and the Pope fulfils his duties in them without dreaming that they are in honour of himself for any personal qualities of his own. Why does he live in a Palace of 11,000 rooms? You have left out the room on the ground floor under the back stairs. Most people seem to miss it, so don't he distressed. Meantime the Pope lives in the Vatican because rooms in that -central administrative building for the needs of a Church of some 400 million people have been sat aside for hi use.

His Palace is filled with the most valuable furnishings whilst the poor of every country cry out for enough to eat. The Vatican does not belong to the Pope; nor do its furnishingsThe Pope cannot sell nor will away what is not his. Did he sell the lot, and distribute its value to the poor, no appreciable difference would be made to thi poor of every country:" after their one meal each, if they got that much, their poverty would still be there—and the Church would be with. out its most necessary buildings. And Catholics throughout the world would be called upon to make provision in one generation for headquarters which have grown up gradually with the growth of the Church during 1900 years. You are talking nonsense; and what you suggest would be no cure for the poverty of this world. Christ Himself said, "The poor you will always have with you." But I would like you to ask yourself sincerely, if I am not requesting too much, whether your enquiry is dictated by genuine sympathy with the poor. or rather by prejudice against the 17atholic Church.
Christ Had No "Vatican Palace" ! Did Christ have 11,000 rich rooms to live in? No. Nor has the Pope He has his own few private rooms, and has altogether too much to do to spend his time trying to live In the museum, library, art gallery, chapels, bureaus, staff-offices, and other quarters allotted to various other departments and purposes. It is ridiculous to draw a comparison between Christ in the days before the Church was established. and the needs of that Church now that it has grown to huge dimensions. our Lord declared that, if the Churnl-. ',vas but a mustard seed in origin, it would grow into a vast tree. If the Pope got the notion that he should abandon his present duties, and imitate Yhrist by walking from village to village preaching the Gospel to this group and that. and sleeping not in the open with "nowhere to lay his head." licek would the Church in its nresent state get on?

An address of welcome to the Archbishop was delivered by Miss Pat O'Hara and, after an address of a similar nature, Miss Nancy Richards presented a bouquet to the Mother Provincial. A delightful programme was presented by the pupils, opening with an orchestral rendering of Brahms waltzes, No. 2, 15, and his 'Hungarian Dance." The infants rendered two recitations and a choir of older girls sang "Chanson de Florian" and "L'Avril est la." The choir was conducted by Mr. Max Rutter. These items were followed by a piano solo by Miss Nancy Meares and a verse-speaking choir composed of the senior girls. A monologue, "Earthenware," was given- by Miss Nancy Richards, and a delightful nursery scene called "Fanchette from

Vance" was played by members of the infant classes. Miss Ruth Anderson, in a violin solo, gave an artistic interpretation of Schubert's "Ave Maria." The programme was completed with the singing of chorus items comprising works of Dom Moreno, Sterndale Bennett and Geehl, followed by the hymn, "Queen of Loreto." Archbishop Prendiville spoke in appreciation of the entertainment, remarking that whereas most concerts were too long, this was of such a quality as to make him feel that it was far too short. In welcoming the Mother Provincial and congratulating her on the renewal of her appointment, he said that he could wish her no better than that she would have a long tenure of office and that it would be as successful as that which had just concluded. The Archbishop thanked the children for their entertainment which, he said, reflected great credit both on He themselves and their teachers. concluded lw granting them a holiday for Thursday, an announcement which was received with consiciesable enthusiasm.

It is possible to exaggerate the need of the reform in head and members which Trent set about so energetically:

Church. No doubt, God could do it, and sufficiently earnest and w idespread prayer might predispose large numbers of sincere souls for so extraordinary a grace. But we have no right to count upon that possible method o f reunion as likely to occur, and on that account to suspend for a single moment the Church's traditional methods of preaching the Gospel. "Preach the word," cried St. Paul, that great hunter of souls, "be urgent in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and instruction :" so eager was he "to bring every mind into capcivity to the obedience of Christ." Such has ever been the attitude of the Church towards the individual soul ; she welcomes all who approach her singly or in groups, but her first message is to the individual for whom Christ died. Were the above advice to De followed we should find sincere heretics and schismatics justifying themselves in their isolation because, in spite of their prayers. God has not yet shown them as a body where truth lies and how union is to be a,:com• plished. whilst Catholics are to be dissuaded from telling them, lest they should be affronted and deterred from further search. If God's will is loved and truly Sought, there should be no grounds for such fear. Why should a traveller, seated in the wrong train, he anything but grateful for being told his Church is God's means to bring men to Himself W hy should men he aggrieved at learning where it is and how to enter it? Why should thew not be more than willing to exchange what proves to be a counterfeit for the genuine Pearl of Great Price?
Moreover, sonic argue as if the accession of those without would enormously enrich the Church by means of "cultures" at present strange to her. This is to fall into the error of regarding the Church as being almost exclusively Latin. whereas she already embraces all the nations of the earth with their various mentalities—Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, Greek and the rest—whilst her different rites and local customs show that uniformity was never her ideal. No doubt the accession of the teeming millions of Asia would add certain varieties of liturgy, church architecture and the like, t o her external aspect in that continent, but she has been Penkrattnnrflinffrirrit tart saving now for those little extras that tecostal in outlook and constitu• makes Christmas really enjoyable. tion since the beginning.

Sentimentalists With No Fixed Moral (Principles TO REALISE FULLY Animalism Inspires Euthanasia ONE MUTH of RELIGION
T
HOSE who had any close contact with the Great War in the capacity of c haplains, surgeons or nurses will not read "Mercy Deaths" with any sense of novelty. They will rather wonder that a few English doctors have been able to create a newspaper surprise. They will be astonished to find that there are people who do not seem to know the practice of putting the alleged incurable to on death has been widespread the battlefield and elsewhere. Indeed, no one can be reasonably sure that. his own life may not be terminated in this way should he fall into the hands of those sentimentalists who have no fixed moral principles. \ V Ht is surprising is the feeble objections that have been We read, for instance, raise.l. papeT. s which profess inability to They form a clear judgment. timidly suggest that there is an ethical aspect to the problem; that there is a question of intention : that it is difficult to say that any ease is hopeless; that it is much so dangerous to place power in the hands of a physician: that there is a difference between voluntary and involuntary euthanasia ;that an opinion exi ts that no one is privileged to anticipate the decrees of nature.
a
The fact. is that no one has the least objection to anticipating We are the decrees of nature. doing it continually as a right and as a duty. ' Does anyone refuse to put an animal "out of its misery?" Does anyone hesitate to de troy a dangerous tree Why then talk about the decrees of nature? The real and only question is the decree of God. And of this the papers seem to know nothing. There is no mention of the commandment which says: Thou shalt not kill. It is this ' bin ission from the discussion that is the real danger. Human life, borne and unborn, is being s acrificed everywhere the on pleas of pleasure. comfort. conpassion venience, selfishness, and humanitarianism. but no one has a word of justification that is not based on sentiment. The same lack of solid moral principles is widespread in regard to other commandments. God has said: Thou shalt not c ommit adultery. This Divine decree, so deeply graven in the human heart, and so universally observed by civilised and savage alike, has become a byword with moderns. People are not ashamed of adultery: they are ashamed of disapproving of it. They are not pagans as they sometimes boast but animalists who have nothing to show by- way of reason than the so-called law of the jungle. T he same is true of the commandment: Thou shalt not steal. His right to personal property is One of the distinctions between the man and the beast. Modern thought sees no such distinction, indeed it sees nothing clearly but its own prejudices. A hun-
dred wild schools of economics are struggling to control the w ealth of others whilst keeping as strong a hold on their own as possible. Again, the only law is the law of the strong, whether the strong is the individual or the controller of a group of individuals. There is no principle involved; again, it is only a question of expediency and utilitarism. The same could be said of lying. Truth is said to be unknowable. People must be told w hat seems to someone to be best for them at the moment. Why' keep faith when there is no faith? What is there that can possibly- matter except that the greatest number of people can have the greatest amount of pleasure? The only sin is ignorance, yet no one can ever know the truth; the only evil is inability to reach our ideals; yet no one knows what is ideal. Compared with this confusion, the possibility of "mercy deaths" being a danger to some indivi: dual is practically insignificant. When we read that the present dean of St. Paul's, London. that " Woodbine Willy" Shepherd. the notorious publicity-seeking chaplain; that the chairman of the Congregational Union in Great Britain; and that a host of distinguished physicians. ett,Teni-• and biologists are in favour of "mercy slaying" we are not surprised. At the moment animalism is in the saddle. At its disposal are all the agencies of propaganda. But it has not a very Christianity is not stable seat. dead if it is necessary for Dean Inge to sign a statement for the assurance of the scrupulous. It reads like one of his sardonic pleasantries: "To meet possible objections on religious grounds, what is proposed is not contrary to Christian principles." We should like very much to know what are the grounds of the Gloomy dean's religion: and still more what are his Christian principles. Surely it is amusing to read this ex cathedra statement from a man whose most pronounced antipathy is Papal Infallibility. At least it is an assurance to Catholics that they can look for little support outside Catholic the of the fold of Church. They have lived to see murder. suicide. adultery, stealing and lying all receiving the blessing of those who, having left the Barque of Peter, are floundering in the whirlpool of irrationalism.

THE CASE OF ST. THOMAS MORE (By Rev. J. P. Gleeson, S.J.)
UU may have read somewhere in a spiritual book the saying that the full realisation of even ONE truth of our religion would be sufficient to make a saint. This at first sight may appear perhaps to be an exaggeration—but it contains a precious pearl of truth. Only last year a new Saint was raised to the altars of the Church, St. Thomas More. There is an incident in his life which indicates how he had realised one great truth and how it was so continually before his mind that he ruled all his conduct according to its dictates. St. Thomas More had realised the great truth of LIFE AFTER DEATH. It made everything in this world, except the love and service of God, seem to him so tawdry, mean and unattractive, that when the crisis came in his life, he did not hesitate to renounce worldly honours, wealth and happiness in order to follow the voice of his conscience. This is how it came about: Sir Thomas More was the Chancellor of England; he was greatly loved by every man in the realm, a manly, upright, virtuous character, with plenty of fun and humour. By no one \vas he more admired than by King .Henry VIII. Now, when Henry wanted to divorce his leg;.timate wife, he knew he could not hope to succeed in his enterprise unless his most respected and trusted advisor would consent to the plan. He wished to win the approval of Sir Thomas More in order that the Pope might be influenced by the consent and judgment of so virtuous But Sir Thomas More a man. knew that Henry's evil intentions were absolutely opposed to the Church's teaching on marriage. and he refused his help. At first Henry tried to persuade him by gifts and promises of honours-but More remained steadfast. Finally Henry had resort to threats—and in the end More was sentenced to death. But even now the King thought he might succeed if he could persuade Ntore's daughter to appeal Accordingly he to her father. sent her to the prison cell, and there Margaret pleaded through her tears that her father should submit to the royal will and thus be restored to honour and wealth. Now Thomas More's love for his daughter was such that seldom has a father loved his child more dearly. But he had always before his mind the thought of life with God after death, and no human emotion, no matter how tender and pure, could make him waver in his allegiance to God and His Church. "How long, Nleg. would I enjoy these honours?" "For years and years. f ather: you are young yet. We shall live together in peace, comfort and pure happiness." "How many years. Meg'." "Twenty.

forty, more. father." "And after that. Meg?" Margaret did not reply. Instead tears flowed from her eyes and she sobbed. "You are right, darling father. Eternity is too great a price to pay 1-( 1 t cn the greatest worldly pleasure and honour." The next day St. Thomas More was executed. He lived by the truth he had realised so plainly. and died in fidelity to it. There is a clear lesson for every Catholic in the life of St. Thomas More. In the deposit of faith we have so many beautiful and everlasting truths about God and eternal life that we become casual and unconcerned about them. We have as it were too many things; we are apt to lose sight of their value simply • because they are so numerous. But from time to time we might profitably delve into the treasure house of faith and take some truths from its inexhaustible coffers for serious and practical reflexion. . . Let a Catholic man or woman. for example. once realise that the soul which animates his or her body is so precious. so v aluable. that Almig-htv God permitted His Only Son to die in the shame of Calvary in order that it might not be lost. Realise that trtith. think over it, let it sink in. in all the fulness of its stupendous meaning—and surely sin becomes not merely something it is decent to avoid, but so hideously foul and deformed that, even though. as in the case of St. Thomas More, it may mean death, we will never c ommit the smallest sin or fail once in our fidelity to the Church in arty way at all.

two -10R over thousand . years the Italian peninsula has been fertile in new ideas above all other parts In the of the civilised world. c ourse of the past decade, true to its history in this respect, it has brought forth a new theory of political government, and assigned to this theory a name which has. already acquired international status. It would be an exaggeration to say that the Fascist idea is entirely new or entirely Italian in its origin; it is rat her an electric synthesis of ideas of government, some of which are as old as Ancient Gree,:e, and some as widespread But, taking as our white race. the synthesis as . a whole, Fascism is essentially an Italian product. and where it has developed outside Italy its origin must be traced in one way or another to the one Italian source. Whether this Italian source is merely the fertile brain of Benito Mussolini, or whether part of the system is to be ascribed to Don Luigi Sturzo, the Sicilian Priest, who was leader of the Partito Popolare, is quite another question. Probably the answer to this question must be left to the research and decision of future historians. The Saving of Italy. The name, Fascism, is derived from the Latin - fasces,- which literally means a bundle in general. and in particular the bundle of rods tied round an axe which was carried and used by the hetors of Ancient Rome. In time, the fasces became simply a symbol of the supreme authority of the State. When Socialism and Anarchy became widespread in Italy in the years immediately t ucceedinn- the Great War, Mussolini and a few others, whose outlook was similar to his. organised a reaction that quickly passed from thought into fact, from print into reality. The re action had as its most fundamental object the saving of Italy f rom the horrors of practical Socialism. Communism. and Anarchy. It soon found that it had also to reckon with deistic Liberalism, commonly miscalled Democracy. which pandered to the e xcesses of these subversives, or even, on occasion, allied itself actively with them. It took as its s ymbol the ancient fasces, and f rom the word coined itself a name: as the uniform oi its supporters it took the black shirt oi blouse worn by the Italian shock troops (arditi) during the war. In the earlier stages of its development, Fascism was in part political in its methods, in part active or practical. On the political side, it sought to persuade the ordinary voters for Parliament, especially by means of articles in Mussolini's newspaper. the "Popolo d'Italia." published at Milan. Mussolini and a few of his more Prominent and active supporters, stood for election in the ordinary way, and were returned (in 1920, I think). At all events they were a mere handful in the House. Many gnod, intelligent, and pa!riotic Italians shared their views In principle and detail, but at the arrie time felt a certain distrust
of the sincerity and general soundness of Mussolini and his f ollowers. On this point, we must remember that Mussolini was an ex-Socialist, who, in 1911, had taken up arms against his King, and even at the time we are speaking of appeared to be a Materialist, if not an Atheist. For a Catholic, at least, this might be decisive. Striking Originality. On the active, or practical side, Fascism from the beginning showed a more striking originality. reason of its strong nationalist principles it was able to enlist, the practical sympathy of the young men, many of whom had fought for their country during the war, but had returned to find everything in a state of confusion and despair. One does not require a deep knowledge of practical psychology, or special power of imagination, in order to understand what powerful friends or dangerous enemies these men could be in a political struggle. The Fascist leaders secured the allegiance of these men all over Ital)-, and thus in the course of a couple of years the Fascist Revolution was fought and won. In the beginning, these active Fascists, or Black Shirts, were rather few; time was required to develop their numbers and organisation, and thus at the outset their activities were rather local and sporadic. Their first appearance was in the industrial north, where Socialism was particularly Armed with clubs, and strong. sometimes revolvers, they defended the lives and protected the property of employers whose men Sometimes had gone on strike. they entered the premises of shopkeepers who seemed to them to be taking advantage of the general confusion by charging exhorbitant prices, especially for foodstuffs, and ,gave them effectual orders to change their price Disobedience inevitably lists. entailed painful consequences for the offenders, and after a short But the time seldom occurred. most picturesque and original form of nascent Fascist activity was directed against Socialists who had assumed public office, such as that of mayor of a town. These worthies sometimes indulged in violent anti-bourgeois tirades, in course of which they lovingly strangled in rhetorical anticipation the last .King with the entrails of the last Priest. Or, perhaps, they would now and then diversify their oratory with a little melodrama; for instance, by removing the national flag from over the town hall, publicrolling it in the gutter or burning it, and then putting up the Red Flag in its stead. Sometimes, on occasions, the Fascists showed their disapproval of these proceedings by capturing the enthusiastic Socialists, administering a half-pint or so of castor oil, and then, without interval of repose, causing him to make a patriotic Ttalian speech of. say, two hours' duration. The effect seems to have been lasting and edifying for all concerned. Thus two or for three terrible years Italy

dragge(t on without much apparentty permanent result for any party. Horrible Atrocities. Mussolini, in his -Popolo d'Italia," kept calling on the Government to do its duty. Socialists, Communists, etc., indulged in periodical strikes, punctuated with horrible atrocities. Let me refer briefly to two examples of the sort of thingI mean. In one of the northern Italian towns certain workers who failed to obey s trike orders were burnt alive in the furnaces. A young Fascist, named Berta, at Florence, was set upon by a crowd of Socialists. Bruised and wounded, the unfortunate man fled for his life, and reached one of the bridges which span the Arno. Still pursued by his enemies, he jumped to the parapet of the bridge, and hung on by his hands, hoping in this way- to get beyond their reach. They rushed up. cut off his hands, and left him to meet his death in the waters below. It is to be noted that the Socialist Party officially condoned this kind of thing, and one of the newspapers heartily rejoiced at the slaying of Berta, wishing long life to the comrade who cut off his hands. The Fascists met violence by violence, and so matters went on The intolertill October, 1922. ance which characterises the Fascist Government to-day is quite explicable in view of the savage opposition they met in the beginning. We have it on the personal authority of Mussolini that the Revolution cost the Fascists 100.000 lives. One cannot help smiling at the simplicity —or is it cunning?—of the international press agencies serving overseas countries. For example. some few years ago, we were treated t o accounts of the trouble in Vienna, according to which it would seem that Dollfuss and a pack of Catholic Heinwehr wolves tore to pieces a defenceless flock of Socialist lambs. Marxian Socialism is anything but lamblike. A person living in Italy towards the end of 1922 would have noticed that the number of more or less openly armed Black Shirts was already very great in all parts of the Peninsula: there must have been close on a million of seasoned warriors wearing uniform. On the other hand. Fascist representatives in Parliament and their sympathisers were not more than a dozen. Some change was hound to come. It came at the end of October. Mussolini made a speech at Naples. in which he demanded there and then from the Government three of four seats in the Cabinet for himself and his supporters— "otherwise we Nvi11 take them." Thus war was declared. The rabbit-like Government became
panic-stricken, and decreed martial law all over the kingdom. The King refused to sign the decree, so that it remained inoperative. The Cabinet resigned en bloc. The King made Mussolini Prime Minister, and he has remained in power ever since. Mussolini: His Amazing Genius. Amongst all contemporary statesmen, Mussolini towers like a giant amongst dwarfs. But what has he done for his country? He has taken it out of the mire of degradation and despair, and made it one of the greatest nations of the earth to-day. He began by purging the country of anarchy—open and secret. Tie then reorganised industry and stabilised the currency; reclaimed thousands of acres of waste and marshy land, so that Italy is now virtually able to supply her forty-five millions of people with wheat and other cereals; solve° the Roman 9uestion and thereby restores Catholicism to a more fitting place in the life of the nation: reformed education ; encouraged literature, art, and science; raised cities and resorts out of the wilderness; helped the unemployed without the dole; built up a powerful army, navy, air force, and mercantile marine; developed the Italian colonies in Africa; systematised Italy's foreign relations, and generally enhanced her prestige abroad. At the present day, European hopes for international peace are centred on Rome rather than Geneva. In fact, if Italy were to withdraw, as she threatened, from the League of Nations, that anile institution would probably come Jo a speedy end. In short, Mussolini has made Italy a worthy successor of Venice. Florence. Milan, and Genoa: nay, not unworthy of Ancient Rome herself. What is the secret of this success, or. more plainly, vk hat is this Facism which has brought it So far, we have been to pass? considering it rather as a method of obtaining and wielding political power; we have been trying to show how and why it arose, how far it has succeeded as an Italian political experiment. It remains that we formulate the principles underlying the experiment. Here they are in brief :— (-Continued on Page 8.1

In a book in Spanish, "El .jerdin de Los Frailes," in English I suppose it would be entitled "The Garden of the Monks," are recollections of the school days of Manuel Azana, the first and present President of the Spanish Republic. Without venturing to conjecture what manner of man Manuel Azana is to-day, or what may be his present religious convictions, his book, published in 1927, is of interest in the light of current events in Spain. At the time of publication, Alfonso was still King of Spain, and the author coutd not have had the slightest prevision of. himself as t wice a Spanish President within a few short years, which fact precludes the possibility of the book ever having been designed as a source of propaganda.

The approach of the men to the altar rails to receive Holy Communion was admirably arranged by marshals, and was carried out without delay or confusion. Three priests, Rev.

greater tribute to the prolific labours of the Christian Brothers could have been paid than the remarkable demonstration of faith witnessed at the 8 o'clock Mass on Sunday last, when 1,500 of their ex-students thronged St. Mary's Cathedral for the first combined Holy Communion of Christian Brothers' ex-students. The function was unique in this State. land, New Zealand and the various States of the Commonwealth and other parts of the world. A t the conclusion of the function a cable message was sent to the Cardinal Secretary of State at V atican City informing him of the success of the gathering and conveying to the Holy Father the greetings of the members, together with a pledge of their loyalty. A t the end of Mass His Grace addressed the men a short but striking sermon. The Archbishop said he was delighted to be associated with that morning's splendid demonstration of devotion and loyalty. To see so many men in the Cathedral was a source of great joy and spiritual consolation to him. And the joy and consolation were all the greater when all those men, without exception, had approached the altar rails to receive Our Divine Lord in Holy Communion. The foundation of their religion had been firmly and solidly laid during those years they had
spent under the fostering care of I nc Christian Brother:, And if they wished to show their appreciation of the Brothers' self-sacrificing efforts on their behalf, they could not du so in a more effective manner than by being true and loyal, at all times, to the tenets of their Holy Religion inculcated so forcibly and so_effectively during their school-boy days within the hallowed walls of the Christian schools. Never before in the eventful history of the Church were loyalty, fortitude and fidelity so im peratively demanded on the part o f our Catholic men.

Those organisations which had suffered most from Communist penetration were the various Councils against War and Youth Movements. The danger was more real than the mass of the people imagined, and all who were in any way responsible for youth should closely examine the credentials of individuals and organisations professing to work for the benefit of youth. They might be surprised, continued His Grace, to learn that the Communist Party in Australia had been organised in seventeen group movements, of which at least eight operated in this State masquerading under perfectly harmless titles. And while Australian Governments were doing little in the face of that menace which theatened Christian civilisation, the world at large was awakening to the seriousness of the situation. England, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Greece, India and Belgium were alive to the peril that threatened them and were adopting measures to combat the menace of Communism and anarchy. t Continued on Column I.

Solemn Obsequies For Late Archbishop Hayden Widespread Mourning inHobart Moving Panegyric by Archbishop Killian
D
,
EL PIS memorable and impressive were the ceremonies associated with the obsequies—Solemn Office and . Pontitical Requiem Mass—of the late Archbishop of Hobart, Most D.D., Rey. William Hayden, whose mortal remains were on Wednesday, October 7, laid to rest in the vault in St. Mary's Cathedral, Hobart, the centre of his spiritual ministrations during the past six years. A • gathering so large that it could not he completely accommodated in the Cathedral itself provided a striking tribute to the r espect felt by the whole coinmunity for one who, by virtue of his sympathetic understanding and kindliness had endeared himself to Catholics and non-Catholics alike throughout Tasmania. The body had lain in state since Monday, following its arrival from Sydney, where Archbishop Hayden passed to his eternal reward on Friday, October 2. following a long illness. The pillar,, of the Cathedral were draped in black and purple, while the Archbishop's throne was similarly covered.
All Sections Represented. Long before 10 a.m., the appointed time for the Requiem Mass, crowds began to gather at the Cathedral, and it was but a c omparatively short time before all 'cats were occupied. Scores of persons were unable to gain admission, and all standing space was filled. The gathering inchided representatives of all sections of the community. The Hibernian and St. Vincent de Paul Societies, the Old Virgilians' Association and various Catholic organisations of the city were officially represented in the body of the church. Sisters of Charity, of St. Joseph, of the Good Shepherd, and of the Presentation Order also were present. Solemn Ceremonial. . The Solemn Requiem Mass xya celebrated by his Lordship rou the Bishop of Sale, Most Rev. R. Ryan, CAL., who represented t he Nletnipolitaii and the Hierarchy of Victoria. A choir of priests rendered the music inci dental to the Mass. Archbishop Killian's Panegyric. . The congregation was deeply kmpressed by the ceremonies and many persons were visibly affected when the Most Rev. A. Killian. Archbishop of Adelaide, delivered the panegyric. The Apostolic Delegate in Australia (Dr. Panico). said his Grace, had sent a message expressing his grief at the death of Archbishop Hayden, and offering his deepest s ympathy to the clergy and the People of the Archdiocese. Messages of a similar nature had been received from every Archbishop and Bishop in Australasia, from the Governor (Sir Ernest Clark). the Prime Minister (Mr. Lyons), from the Lord M ayor and the Hobart City ., Council. and from the State Council of Churches. He expressed grateful thanks for these' c ondolences.
The Archbishop said that he desired also to tender sympathy to the relatives in Australia of the late Dr. Hayden—to his illustrious brother, Mgr. Hayden, of Sydney, who was too unwell to visit Tasmania, and his sister, Mother Stanislaus, of the Brigidine Convent, Randwick. To the late prelate's uncle, cousins, and brother in Ireland they extended their sincere sympathy also. Archbishop Hayden's Notable Qualities. He said that he felt it incumbent on him to say a few words of appreciation and veneration for the great Archbishop whose loss they were mourning. He was in the diocese of Wilcannia-Forbes, with headquarters at Broken Hill (N.S.W.), when Dr. Hayden was appointed its Bishop in 1918. and he looked on his association with him as one of the great blessings that God had given to him. As a man the late Archbishop was kindliness itself. He did not know another person who could so quickly put out of his heart and mind any feeling of re-sentment that he might have. Hayden "Intellectually, Dr. was wonderfully gifted." continu"He had an ed, the Archbishop. extraordinary love of everything that was elevating and beautiful. in art, in literature, and especiTime passed ally in music. quickly for him when he was present at some musical performHe had a wonderful and ance. intimate knowledge of harmony, and in the masterpieces of the great composers he found his But beyond greatest recreation. attainintellectual his all Havdee was Dr. menus, predominately a spiritual man, and it is as a spiritual holy pastor and Bishop that we shall remember him longest and best.

"A Holy Priest and Bishop." the There were many, said Archbishop. who knew Dr. Hayden in his early priesthood, and to whom he was simply Father Willie Hayden; but by whatever been had name Dr. Hayden known, all Catholics knew and felt that, above everything else, he had been a holy priest, a holy Bishop, and a holy Archbishop. Deaths of loved ones left intolerable grief and unbearable loneliness if those who remained were not of the conviction that t4is life was only a passing phase in In that regard their existence. he urged them to remember the c omforting words of their Divine Master when He said: "I am the r esurrection and the life."

In front of the coffin are the Bishop of Sale, Most Rev. R. Ryan, CM,, celebrant of the Requiem Mass; the Rev. D. Shaw (Latrobe), deacon, and the Archbishop of Adelaide, Most Rev. A.

What Are Catholics Doing?
Not alone Catholics, but the Christian community at large throughout the State, must welcome the strong and timely utterance of His Grace the Archbishop in St. Mary's Cathedral on Sunday last. It is.a notable fact, and one of which Catholics ma" be justly proud, that it is our Catholic leaders who are in the van ot the crusade for Christian civilisation against Communism. The Catholic Press also, with one secular exception, has been alone in the struggle. It is one of the most curious phenomena of our time that the Capitalist Press appears to have prostituted itself to Communist propaganda usage. The growing force of Communism in Australia., as revealed by His Grace, is very grave and one which our Governments can afford to ignore no longer. It is to be doubted whether repressive measures would be wholly advisable. as these might serve only to drive the menace underground. The sure remedy is for the State to end its laissez faire policy towards industrial conditions, legislate for the living wage. and so make Communism unnecessary. The most compelling point about the Communist programme is not the strength of the actual party but the unscrupulous commandeering of certain nebulous organisations which it employs as affiliations. We have stressed this danger. in regard to the Labour Party, which in Great Britain has 1.200 affiliated bodies under Communist control. Even the Party itself is tending in a doubtful direction. A correspondent has raised the question of Labour's Socialisation programme. While it is acknowledged that no attempt has been made to carry out this plan in its entirety and that there is divided opinion as to its interpretation and application, there yet remains a strong and eager minority who are anxious to see its logical fulfilment. On its face value, the complete Socialisation programtne cannot, in conscience, he supported by Catholics, especially if it be intended as a permanent future regime. The system would violate moral and social justice, deny the human right to private property. to its employment to personal advantage, and to the savings of the proceeds. It would mean the Servile State. One point, however. about the Catholic attack on Communism is being overlooked. Our attitude must be more than merely negaCommunism is unnatural, servile and immoral. But so tive. Capitalism. We cannot continue under the present system. We cannot advance to the monstrous disillusionment advocated by Marx. The need of a practical, construftive plan is imperious. The pioneering work has been done in England and on the Continent. The principles of the Papal Encyclicals on the Social Order were applied by Messrs. Chesterton and Belloc in a practical scheme of affairs called Distributism, which could be applied in a modified form in Australia. It is for the Catholic laity to organise, and under the direction of the Bishops, to attempt to apply Christian principles to social life. The fruits of -procrastination are becoming daily clearer. Even Catholics are being seduced by a dangerous and stupid Liberalism little removed from the way of Moscow. Words will not break the designs of the Marxists. We must organise for action.
The Other Side Following the Archbishop's denunciation of Communism, a letter appeared in the "West Australian" from a correspondent who quoted a certain Monica Whately in reference to the Spanish Civil War. She claimed to be a Catholic and to support the Government forces. Nobody is seriously worried about the lady's naivete as, for example, when she says "There are no Communists or Socialists in the Government of Spain, but only Liberals, some of them prominent Catholics." This letter appeared in the "New Statesman and Nation" of August 22. The point of the matter is this: Why publish such a letter and not one of the sheaf that appeared in rebuttal in the same paper on August 29? We reprint one such below, just from a feeling that people should hear the other side. Will the "West Australian" have sufficient justice to do likewise? "May I say how despicable I consider your whole tone and atFortunately there are many titude to the Spanish Civil War? t housands of well-informed and educated people in England who know how to judge a Government by its allies, as one can judge a man by his friends. It is fine 'government' which goes hand-inhand with loathsome degenerates such as the Moscow clique in Barcelona and Madrid. which outrages nuns and drags corpses out of graves to play with. I sincerely trust that Lord Listowel. who has already once made an ass of himself by interfering on the side of the degenerates in Spain, will this time (should he dare go there) meet his deserts. Needless to say. I have only picked up your effusion in a hotel lounge —P. R. Butler. Lieutenant Colonel retired). Dorset."

The Span is CIY1 ' \AT ar and LA kotics A correspondent Nv rites •in this issue in defence of the Government forces in the Spanish Civil War. This attitude is very astonishing until one realises the paucity of historical knowledge set out in four paragraphs. If the writer is ignorant of Spain's past and present, he ought to restrain himself from dogmatism, especially as he is in the strange isolation of an individual 'against the entire Catholic world. There is, moreover, little enough excuse for this unenviable originality as this paper has, since the beginning of the year. devoted a series of articles to modern Spanish history, Communist organisation in Spain, and the root causes of the present civil strife. If our correspondent is sufficiently simpleminded to believe the lying cables of the secular press, which has never yet given the Catholic attitude, then controversy is useless. The superficial matters presented by our correspondent are really the old, old fables raised by the enemies of Christianity and have been replied to again and again in the Catholic Press.
To deal briefly with the four historical points. "30,000 lords own two-thirds of Spain, and 45 per cent. of the people are illiterate." Spain has not known really good government for OV 100 years. All those things which we associate with the best side of modern national life were left unattended, so far as government was concerned, until the military dictatorship under Primo de Rivera, who did much more in fact than had been done by any Spanish Government for over 100 years. The backwardness of Spain is undeniable, but the historical reasons for this are quite intelligible. They are as much external as domestic. It would take too long to cover it all, but we may mention such factors ai the local patriotism of the Basques and Catalans, the personal patriotism of the Carlists, the Carlist war of succession, the draining of Spain's best blood to South America, and the havoc of the Napoleonic wars. After these Spain banged her back door on Europe and retired into that isolation which had become traditional with her after the Reformation had attained its full effects. Its governmental machinery ran down and grew rusty, and the Monarchy, under Alfonso X III.. failed to consolidate Spain after tls• ('arlist civil wars.
If the matter of landlords is intended to implicate the Church "a great landowner," rich, powerful, oppressive, it should be noted as an historical. fact that all lands belonging to the Church in Spain were confiscated as far back as 1841, and all She held prior to the Civil War was the actual site on which a church or convent stood. All the Church received for the confiscation of her properties 95 years ago was a system of stipends for her hierarchy. Moreover, the wretched condition of the agricultural labourers on the latifundia is directly attributable to a century of misgovernment, not by the Church, which l'as despoiled and made sociall) powerless, but by the same type of Liberals who foster anarchy Spain to-day. However, there is no need to go to Spain to find wretchedness of social conditions, hereditary privileges, and her, ditary burdens. One can begin right at home. If one knows any history one knows that England has been ruled for centurie, by an oligarchy, and that Labour there or here has not so brilliantly succeeded in remedying social disorders as to be in a position to sneer at Spain.
Our correspondent sets five questions to which he seeks an authoritative reply. Firstly, he asks how the Government electe<4 . in February was Communist, seeing that only 16 actual Communists were in the Cortes? Surely our correspondent knows that the distinction between Coalition Socialists, Anarchists, and Sydnicalists is only one of degree and not of kind. They are all brother, under the skin, and their substantial unity has been horrifying!) attested. Thousands of Communist agitators (including Bela Cohen) were given free entry from France. and Largo Caballero. the Spanish Lenin, was leader of the Federation of Labour (3,500,000 strong). Is that Communist influence or are we merely excited? If further proof were needed it could be had from such first-hand sources as the revelations of Communist aims, past and present, in Spain. recently printed in "Solidariedad Obrera," an organ of the Catalonian Anarchists, published in Barcelona. On April 22, Senor Azana, hero of democracy, said, in an interview with the Madrid correspondent of the Moscow newspaper. "Isve-tia": "The Communists are our honest allies." Asked how the Right permitted the elections to be dominated by fraud and force, we reply that the Catholic Nationalists have always been handicapped by moral considerations and could only have prevented the Red terrorism by a premature revolution. The Left, having no moral scruples, have not hesitated to employ every means of terrorism and anarchy. Regarding the alleged atrocitie of the Nationalists in Bajados and 'run, we reply that there is no evidence excepting the cables allowed us through the courtesy of the Press monopoly. Even supposing them to be true, has our correspondent heard of the 400 priests who were slaughtered and the nuns who were outraged in the first five days of the outbreak in Barcelona? No single instance of unprovoked butchery c) civilians had been proved against the Nationalists. They have shown an incredible clemency, even leaving one route of escape from Madrid. But the atrocities of the Reds is established by eve-witnesses and pictures beyond any dispute. Our correspondent cannot have it both ways. Catholicism and the Spanish Nationalists stand or fall together.

Away in the distance were moving children in white singing that sonorous canticle of praise, "Pangs Lingua." But a little while ago the Shepherd walked before them and led them by the hand from a wicked world * to this haven of rest. To-day is their day —a day of triumph—an,d so they go before Him singing His praises in e xultant joy. After them walk the Sisters—nearest to Him in procession who are dearest to Him in love. Then, under a spacious canopy, guarded by His priests, is borne the Living Christ— the good kind Shepherd of souls. On the procession moves, past a group of little boys—members of the Clontarf Boys Band—who are putting all the w armth and devotional feeling into every note they play, till it comes to a little altar in a quiet corner of the grounds. There the Kingly Christ is Placed upon a throne and from there does He bless the hillside that now looks as if carpeted in snow. There Is something soul-stirring or spiritually uplifting about Benediction in the open air. Its appeal may have its roots in its close resemblance to Gospel scenes, or perhaps in our Celtic faith, which is e ver lovingly entwined round the MassRock.

THE RECORD.
St. Columba's, South Perth A Nave of Remembrance. The response to our appeal to honour the memory of the deceased priests and religious of the Archdiocese has been very consoling. On the eve of the month of remembrance we again renew the invitation to their friends, as they must be many, to have their names before us lest we forget our duty to pray for the dead. In the new Church of St. Columba's, we are offering the Nave as a lasting memorial to thoseewho planted amid great difficulties the seed which has yielded such an abundant harvest. We are reaping the reward of their sowing. As memory fades quickly amid the hurry of modern life, we need to see their names, and to be reminded of the dates of their anniversaries. We suggest an inexpensive way of doing that by inscribing the names of that heroic band of pioneers on windows and seats in the new church which arises under the patronage of their spiritual forbears, St. Patrick, their spiritual father, St. Brigid, the Mary of the Gael, and St. Co1un4)a, the greatest of Irish-born saints. From the rose window, which will face St. Mary's Cathedral, they shall look down on the Nave, and surely they will not be unmindful of the charity of those who can forget themselves to remember in gratitude the names that meant so much when alive to the Catholic faith in this State. Already a fair number have been so honoured. Reading over those names one feels a . pang of regret that so many remain still to be remembered. Some of these left a deep impression of loss on their passing. A mention of them must arouse memories in the hearts of the people they served so faithfully and so well. At the moment the following names have no niche in our Nave of Remembrance: Dean Smythe, of Bunbury; Father O'Donnell, of Northam: Father Donagher, of St. Joseph's Orphanage; Father Reily, of many years at Bridge. town; Father Masterson, of Toodyay; Dean O'Reilly, of Kellerberrin; Father Phil Sheridan, Dr. P. Kennedy, Father Moloney, of Highgate Hill, Father More IIallinan—and many others. It is gratifying that three of our Nuns and one Christian Brother have been rememlx.red, and what a pity that we cannot include other names to whom the Catholic' schools of a generation ago owe so much. For further particulars 0•Iicerning the memorials that may be placed in St. Columba's Church, apply to The Presbytery. South Perth. Our Busy Doings.

Catholics in New York A ccording to the latest statistics, there are two million, three hundred thousand immigrants included in the seven million, six hundred thousand souls that go to make up the population of New York. From the religious point of view, this latter figure is divided as follows :-1,734.000 Catholics, 1,765,000 Jews . and 141,000 Protestants. The smallness of the Protestant populatioa may give cause for surprise, but t wo facts must be kept in mind in this connection—that many New -Yorkers are adverse to making known their religious beliefs, and that there exists a large body of inhabitants who are entirely indifferent to all religions. A point which is worthy of notice is that the Jews, whose numbers in New York make of it the most important city in the world, have nearly a thousand synagogues there. Catholics, on the other hand, though almost as numerous, have only 430 Churches. Among these, it is true, are many w hich are vast in size in comparison with the synagogues. Some of the latter are more like oratories than real temples. "Aren't people funny?" "Yes.

from Pagel' 13.)
The Archbishop was obviously deeply moved when he briefly referred to the closing scenes of Dr. Hayden's life, and told how, w hen the deceased prelate's eyesight failed, he concentrated his devotions on his rosary beads. "And so," he concluded, "it is fitting that on this day, the Feast of the Holy Rosary, we should c ommit to Australian soil one of the dearest, one of the grandest of Ireland's sons, who, for the sake of Christ, exiled himselfDr. William Hayden." Last Rites. . At the conclusion of his deeply moving utterance, Archbishop assembled the Killian, with clergy, acolytes bearing lighted tapers. formed a procession to the coffin. and the final blessings and the absolution prescribed by Church in the obsequies of a Bishop were given. The remains were carried from the catafalque along the nave of the Cathedral and down the eastern aisle. Through lines of pupils from St. Mary's, St. Joseph's. and St. Virgil's schools, the procession passed through the Patrick-street exit and returned from Harrington-street before proceeding to the graveside in the eastern transept of the Cathedral. The strains of the "Dead March" in Saul. played by the organist. • rang out during the procession. Then were lowered into their last resting place. alongside those of his illustrious predecessors, the Archbishops Murphy, Delaney. and Barry, the mortal remains of Most Rev. William Hayden.

The president, Miss C. Somers, presided over the meeting last Thursday evening. The attendance was not good. This falling off in the attendance at the weekly meetings has been noticeable for some time, and the president urges all those who have been lax in the past to make a greater effort to be present at future meetings. A General Communion will be held at the 9 o'clock Mass in St. Mary's Cathedral on Sunday, November 15. Members are asked to notice the alteration of the date from the previous announcement. The Communion will be fol. lowed by a breakfast. The secretary would appreciate members notifying her as soon as possible of their intention of being present. Past memberc are invited to attend. Thursday, November 5, has been chosen for a 'Flannel Dance." As this will be the final dance for the season, it is hoped that there will be a record crowd at the Cathedral Hall on that night. Invitations will be available shortly. Miss Connie Gee was farewelled at Fremantle last week, when the "Orion" sailed for the Eastern States.

Freemasonry Activity in Poland. The Catholic library at Katowice lately published a translation of the French book by Marques-Riviere, formerly a Freemason, who, after his conversion, has become an ardent and militant Catholic, and who in his work entitled "Freemasonry and School" gives autbentic information about Freemasonry in PoAccording to the official land. annual register, published by the International Association of Freemasons at Geneva, the great National Polish Lodge. founded in 1767 and dissolved in 1882, was At prereconstituted in 1921. sent it is composed of 13 lodges of the Scottish Rite; to these must be added 13 lodges affiliated to German Freemasonry. The National Polish Lodge is directed by a supreme Council of the 33rd. degree, with its seat in Warsaw.

Wolfke, Prothe Polytechnical at fessor School; his secretary was Mr. Skokowski, and the treasurer was Mr. Bartoszkiewicz. The activity of Freemasonry in Poland is directed first of all towards the question of education, which they desire to entrust exclusively to the State. They reject entirely teaching free where the religious influence is predominant. Fight against religion and the clergy must be the chief duty of the schoolmaster affiliated to the League of the Right of Man, and others according to methods practised in other countries. The directions imposed by the Freemasons as regards education are only too conscientiously put into practice by the "League of Polish Teachers," where the socialising and anti-religious element prevails.(KAP.)

St. Mary's, Leederville Streamer Carnival.
Our weekly dance on last Tuesday night took the form of a streamer carnival. Financially and socially it was a great success. The young people gleefully danced away to their hearts' content right on to the. hour of midnight. , It was a lovely dance and wonderful value for 1/6. The lucky spots were won by Mr. Castle and Mrs. Davy and Mr. Steele and Miss Henderson. The Weekly Euchre once again drew a very fine attendance on last Tuesday night, the lesser hall being filled to capacityThirteen games were played. Messrs.

Eileen Joyce to Marry FUTURE CAREER. IN THE HOME. It was announced from Melbourne on Monday that Miss Eileen Joyce, the West Australian pianist, intends to give up her musical career next year, when she is to be married. "Instead of practising music I am going to learn to cook," she declared A secret which has been very well guarded was partly disclosed when Miss Joyce, who sailed for England the same day, hinted that she would be coming back to Australia next March to be. married. She revealed that she has been engaged since the beginning of her Australian tour, ten months ago. Her fiance, who is a Melbourne man, is well known in musical circles. and they will make their home in Melbourne. However, part of her secret she insisted on keeping. She would not tell the name of her fiance. This is the second Australian Catholic musician to resign a career in recent months. Rev. Dr. McMahon, of South Perth, who has taken a keen interest in her career, said that if the published reoort were correct, he was pleased to hear it.

Classic and Romantic Poetry. In the poetry section of the leaving certificate syllabus one of the prescribed texts. "TwentY Great Poems," contains the works of some of the most representative poets of the above schools. The following notes, taken from Professor .M ardock's "Primer of English e.iterature." may prove helpful to .Andents who are studying this text book of poetry. "To a certain extent, classic'sin implies, as its name suggests, :he influence of the classics of %-ireece and Rome. As a matter of fact, it is almost solely the Latin influence that we can trace in the "classical" literature of England and France. The writers of epic and pastoral poetry :mitate Vergil; the lyric poets imitate Horace; the satirists imitate Horace and Juvenal; the preachers imitate Cicero; the draClassmatists imitate Senaica. icism then is based on tradition. The romantic writer seeks as far a s possible to put his thought into a new form, to fashion for himself a new instrument of exwriter pression; the classical t hinks it more -important to have a good model, and to mould one's work upon that model as exactly as may be. It may be said that classicism means the application of rules to literature. These rules were deduced from the practice of "the ancients ;" in many cases the ancients would have stared if they could have seen these deductions. It was assumed by these writers that for every form of literature—essay, poem, drama. etc.— there were certain fixed rules which could be easily ascertained and summarily stated, and disregard of which made good work impossible. Now no one doubts that literature, like every other art, has its laws; that if you set out to create a thing of beauty you must obey the laws of beauty. But the attempt to state these laws in formulae which satisfy the logical intellect has always broken down. If we lay down a set of arbitrary rules to govern, let us say, the writing of essays, we may be sure t hat the next essayist of genius will break them all with the utmost unconcern. As might be expected. the w riters of this period did excellent work in the reform of prose; for in prose, logical arrangements and lucidity count for a But when we come great deal. to poetry it is another matter. Without passion, without imagination. without the sense of mystery, poetry in the highest sense cannot exist. The age of classicism bequeathed to us some admirable masterpieces in prose. Imt it was almost absolutely sterile of real poetry.. The poets of this period, with their cool, dispassionate. lucid intellects, fail hopelessly when they essay to deal with the great deep joys and sorrows and hopes and fears

Spanish Cardinal Was Killed On Point of Departing for Italy. It is now definitely established that Cardinal Francis A. Vidal y Barraquer, Archbishop of Tarragona, Spain, is dead. Reported to have been murdered by Spanish Communists on August 24, he was later said to have got safely to Italy. It is now learned that the Archbishop was assassinated just before he, was due to leave Spain for Italy. He was killed before going to board a train which the Italian Government's representative in Spain had provided to t ake His Eminence to Italy. All arrangements had been made for the Cardinal's journey t-o Italy and his arrival there. His death, news of which came to Rome, caused profound sorrow there.

Objections to Vernacular Translation of Bible
DOES NOT HARM THE HEART
The four hundredth anniversary of the death of William Tyndale, translator of the Bible into EngHsi/ was celebrated by non-Catholic denominations recently. I suppose we xvii1 1 ivc the usual bald stateim ma that the Catholic Church • opposed the spread of the Gospels amongst the people and there will be few amongst pulpit speakers who vill be as fair as Rev. Dr. Wand, of Brisbane, in his week-end article on Tyndale. Dr. Wand points out that the English were very far indeed from being acquainted with the Scriptures, and that the printing press had, before the appearance of Tyndale's version, been used for broadcasting stories from the Bible. He goes on to say: The reason why the Church banned a more exact (sic) translation, as it had already banned the Wycliffite Bible in the 14th. century, was because the translation of certain technical terms into the ordinary language of the period implied the denial or rejection of some received doctrine. Thus in Tyndale's own translation the word priest gave place to elder. and church to congregation ; penance became repentance; charity was rendered as love: and grace was replaced by ' favour. "But in addition to the doubts produced by the translation itself. the text was often accompanied by prologues and notes which were of a highly controversial character. Thus Tyndale translates a crucial passage in the Gospel of St. Matthew :— "And I saye also unto the, that thou arte Peter, And apon thy roocke I wyll blyde my congregacion." And he annotates it in this fashion: ' Peter in the greke, sygnifyeth a stoone in englysshe. This confession is the rockye. Nowe is simon barjona or simon jonas sonne, called Peter because of hys confession. Whosoever then thvs wyse confesseth of Christe, the same is called Peter. Nowe is thys confession come too all that are true christen. Then ys every christen man woman and peter.'" Earlier the Church had been compelled to forbid the reading of Wvcliffite versions because of interpolations of a virulent character into the sacred texts and restricted to reading of versions in the vernacular to versions approved by the ordinary of the place or by the provincial council. This was a reasonable attitude, and shows the Church's regard for the purity of Holy Writ rather than a desire to prevent its distribution. The examples given by Dr. Wand of Tyndale's alterations and the single example of his marginal commentation, in themselves justify the Church's opposition to the distribution of his The rapid output of version. faulty and untrue translations which followed the Protestant rebellion against authority is a furWhikt most ther justification. o f the English Prote,tant sects

Saturday, October 24, 1936. In Reply to Pat. Dear Pat, you have my sympathy, I really do agree The days are not half long enough For either you or me. Your rule of life is very c Lammed 'mixt prayers and scales and study, And yet your spirits keep su high, I guess your cheeks are ruddy. Besides, wee lass, I oatice well, When summing up your day, You never mention time for meals, . Or hours off for play. And yet, methinks, these, toe. combine Old Father Time ta fetter, And that is why I have to wait Some weeks to get your letter. I'm placed the samo as you, myself, I'm using all my powers In striving hard from dawn till dark To catch the fleeting hours. And yet when I plead this excuse For tardy correspondence, I often meet rejoinders That plunge me in despondence. "You've only time for Bushies now." "You've given up old friends,"— In such-like terms, from near and far, Each plaint begins and ends. And so I think we only can Our souls in calmness keep, If we're allowed to work and pray, And laugh while we're asleep. --AUNT BESSY. P.S. Don't say'I told you, but you just read Kevin's letter in the Page this week; he's actually practising running so that he can beat you when you go to Katanning. Can you trust a boy? —A- B.

So. we should he very proud to be the subjects of so powerful and divine a King, and on Your birthday, I hope you will remember to join with His subjects all the world over, and bless and praise Our Lord and thank Him for all He is to U5, and for all He will be to us forever in heaven, if we remain faithful enough to Him to merit to go there when we die. Then there is You, Chrisse, 11 on the 26th., and where are you hiding your. self these times, as it is surh a while since we saw a letter from You in the Page?

The Spanish Crisis (From the former Ambassador in London, the Marquis Merry Del Val.) A persistent effort is apparent in the Press of many, countries to represent the war on Bolshevism in Spain as the work of one particular political group. The object of this equivocation is to r ender the movement' unpopular among those who, for various reasons, oppose or fear that school of thought or policy. be Nothing could, however, more inaccurate.

Spain struggling for her life, but she is also, as of yore, the champi, ol of _Europe. She has in no Nvay pawned her birthright to anv,,r e, nor will- she do so. She is too proud for that and too conscienious. But she is grateful to th e who show her sympathy in any shape or form at this momentous time. Surely it would be a mistake for those great peoples, who, up to now have withheld their support or given it parsimoniously-, to leave her forsaken, and oblige her to s eek strength in a different quarter, which will undoubtedly happen unless a swift and complete c hange takes place. This would be all the more regrettable because the Spanish people are defending the very principles of Religion, Authority, Justice, Property, Law and Order, which are the foundation of the life of all the great nations of the world. To rescue them f rom the "slough of despond" into which the red fury has thrown them, the people of Spain have perforce confided their destinies to the only men who can 110/1' lead them out, namely their soldiers. hut this inevitable recourse to arms is temporary. None need fear a permanent m ilitary dictatorship in the Peninsula. Rather will we seek Our future mode of government in those genuinely Spanish institutions which once made our c ountry great.

That is a happening common enough in the Benedictine community's experience, but these visitors represented an interesting variation; they included several members of the Gilbert and Sullivan opera company. Music ‘VaS in the air, and Dom S. Moreno, 0.S.B., New Norcia's celebrated musician, was at hand with quiet, friendly alacrity.

To mark their esteem for Mr. J. M. Drew, M.L.C., who retired front the position of Chief Secretary on A.ugust 26, the staffs of the Chief Secretary's Department assembled in the Y.A.L. Hall one afternoon last week, and presented NIL Drew with a mantel clock and a lounge chair. The gathering, which was a large one, began with afternoon tea and concluded with musical honours for the principal guest. "This occasion represents a spontaneous move on the part of the officers over whom Mr. Drew presided for so long," said the Under-Secretary of the department (Mr. F. J. Huelin). "They wish to show the affection and respect in which they hold him. Mr. Drew is a shining example of what a member of Parliament and a Minister of the Crown should be. We shall long esteem him and cherish his memory." Supporting Mr. Huelin's remarks, Dr. J. Bentley, InspectorGeneral of the Insane, paid a tribute to Mr. Drew's capabilities as Chief Secretary and to his ability and tact in the Upper House. "He was loved by- everybody," the doctor added. Other speakers were the Chief Secretary (Mr. \V. H. Kitson), who made the presentation. and Mr. F. I. Bray, chief clerk to the department. Mr. Kitson said that Mr. Drew's record as a private member and a Minister wa, one of which he and his family could well be proud. It was gratifying. he added, to see that Mr. Drew had already improved in health since his retirement. Responding, Mr. Drew gracefully thanked those present for their gifts.

Mr. Drew concluded by paying a tribute to his successor, Mr. Kitson, whose abilities, he said, he had recognised from the outset.
