One of the faits has emerged from his own imagination; the other is correct in itself, but cannot provide a basis for the conclusions Dr. Head wants to derive from it. Let us see.

It is significant that a statement by an Anglican Archbishop should provide the ammunition for a man who describes himself as anti-religion. However, let us take the utterances of Archbishop Head, of Melbourne. Speaking to the Diocesan Anglican Synod, according to the "Herald," the Archbishop said that two facts emerged from the confusion in the Spanish upheaval.

Lest listeners suspect that my presentation of the .state of affairs in Spain is dictated by a partisan outlook, let me quote the words of one who is above all suspicion. Miguel de Unamuno is a well-known Spanish intellectual, who was recently quoted with approval by Mr. Lionel Lindsay in a statement unsympathetic towards Unamuno esthe Catholic Church. saped from Spain during the monarshy, and was welcomed .back in triomph when the republic was declared.

But the hour has not Meanwhile we will support the actual Government so that Azana can keep the promises he has made to us." In those words Caballero the Communist declares openly his programme for the Sovietising of Spain.
Right of Insurrection Archbishop Head declares that it must be an act of rebellion which seeks to overthrow such a Government. It is not a Government at all. The Popular Front was not lawfully elected, and it does not function even as The it claims to have been elected. Red minority dominates it entirely, and carries on with its anti-religious and anti-social programme of bloodshed and arson. Mere success in the grabbing of power by unlawful means does not confer the right to rule. The conquest of Belgium by the Germans during the World War did not establish German rights, nor did it destroy Belgium's right to its independence.

In religion they are not Christians; in colour they are not white. But now, take the religious The Moors are Moslems, yes. issue. But Moslems are believers in God, and very much so. They are better than the atheist mob that with hellish fury destroys every emblem of religion. They are nut brought in to fight Christians, but a godless and violently antiChristian force which would be as ready to sweep Protestantism from the face of the earth as Catholicism. Again, they are Moors, They are black, not white. But they are Span. from Spanish ish subjects, brought Morocco, and have a right to co-operate in the liberation of Spain, and in the restoration oi a legitimate constitutional government. England pointed with pride to the loyalty of all sections of the British Empire during the Great War. The second edition of the Oxford History of India says: "During the Great War the Indian troops bore their full share of fighting in France and Flanders . . . and Indian representatives were invited in 1917 to take part in the Imperial War Conference, and afterwards at the Peace Conference." What were Ilindoos and Moslems. What was their colour? B lack. But they were British subjects from British India! So the Moors are Span. ish subjects from Spanish Morocco! If it be right for England to makt of Moslems from India on the Western Front against Germany, why is it w rong for Spanish leaders to make use of Moslems from Spanish Morocco in the service of Spain? Even if a rea.n disagrees with the cause, he must admit that the principle is as valid for Spain as for England. I am merely asking for reason rather than preiudice. And let it be remembered that the Spanish Moslems are under t he control of responsible officers who do exercise military discipline, whereas the Reds have armed a horde of irresponsible anarchists, men, women, and children, who are often under no Astrol whatever. s
"Constitutional Means First !" The Religious Issue The Archbishop said that they should have had recourse first to constitutional means of resistance. He should first have asked himself whether any constitutional means were available, and secondly, should have made sure that constitutional efforts had not been tried. Senor Soleto's appeal to the 'Tortes in April, and his warning to Premier Azana was a constitutional appeal for law and order. But the Popular Front Gov. eminent had no constitutional power either juridically or in fact Senor Sotelo was assassinated, and the Anarchists, Syndi:alists, and Communists carried on as they pleased with no constitutional power being exercised in the country. Archbishop Head has no idea of the real state of affairs in Spain. But his desire to join in the outcry against the Catholic religion more than supplies for the defects in his knowledgeAs we shall see, all that he said was leading up to the religious issue. *
Cruelties and Horrors
"The other fact." declared the Archbishop, "was the cruelty of the struggle, and the horrors of battles and sieges." I agree with that, of course. But if the violent repression of a violent injustice is- required, the guilt belongs to those responsible for the violent in. justice. Let us keep in mind the fact that from February until July the Reds enjoyed full liberty to carry on with burning, looting, and bloodshed: and that only after five months of it did the military authorities, backed by the truly loyalist Spaniards, rise in defence of law and order. On the one side there is the cruel treatment of the monks and nuns. That is true. There the valor of the Reds is at its brightest. Against defenceless nuns above all they are at their best. But they do not kill them until they have treated them in ways no newspaper would publish, and which make their subsequent death a most merciful release. T am glad that the Archbishop at least condemns that.
The Moors Called In On the other side there Is the calling in of Mohammedan Moors. This is an appeal to colour prejudice. But I would like to suggest a few things for the consideration of Archbis-
PATRONISE OUR ADVERTISERS
In conclusion, Archbishop Head Saki that "there is surely something se* ously lacking in the type of religious educatio; in the past which produces men on either side who can do suoii things." This is the point, apparently, which the Archbishop wished to make. But he can be quite sure that the horrible treatment of the monks and nuns which he deplores on the one side not clue to Catholic religious education, nor, for that matter, to religious education of any kind. It is due to irreligious education in the principles and spirit of a godless (.:orrununisia diffused irons Moscow. On the othes hand, if the Moslem troops have bees guilty of excesses, Dr. Head can hardly attribute that to Catholic education. If he says that those who brought the Moslem troops over to Spain were the product of a Catholic religious education, I can but reply that it was no part of their religious education that they should do so. Yet, equally, a sound religious education would not necessarily exclude their doing so. It is ridiculous to think that, be.causte some excesses occur, the Moslem troops were brought over for the sake of perpetrating excesses. They were not. They were brought over to fight in a legitimate cause responsible under white officers.
Ignorance or Sectarianism? Finally, as opposed to the gibe at Catholic religious education, I would commend to the Anglican Archbishop of Melbourne the many recent cogplaints of his Anglican confreres concerning thg disastrous effects of our religionless State education, and the aparty of Anglicans in general towards the need of a Christian influence in the schools. I could aiso commend to him the open admiration of Catholic schools expressed in the Anglican Sy nod by one representative, during its recent session in Sydney. In conclusion, I would saw that, did the Archbishop really understand the situation in Spain, one conclusion only could be possible. And that is that he prefers Moscow to Rome: and that., if he has to choose between Christianity represented by the Pope and the antirhristion programme of the Soviet, he would choose the Soviet and the militant godless. Put I do not like to think this to be his position, and prefer to say that he does not understand the facts of the case upon whirl.: be is so ready to pass )tuhrtneot.

This was the beginning of that ceaseless round. of journe‘ s he made to know and help Not only did he go his people. north and east and west. but sometimes he started out west and came home from the east. a bushman's journey that covered a territory as large as England and ScotlandWhen he settled down to his voii-klie showed the genius of a builder. the certainty of a guide rather than the inspiration of a lea. ler. To him. devotedness atol generosity counted much, discipline hut obedience and counted more. He won the admiration of his own people, the respect of all, the affection of few. His later pictures show him reed and impersonal. With the strain of the years, the humoured face of a full grown cherub took on much of the severe dignity of an archangel. His impersonal attitude did most to allay sectarian differences that were stirred up by the vituperation of Dr. John Dunmore Lang. The great provocation suffered by the Catholic people of Victoria by the abuse of Dr. Lang is well described by Fr. F. Mackie in his "Footsteps o f ( )ur Catholic Pioneers." Dr. Goold arrived in Melbourne on the seventh anniversary of the f oundation of the Church of St. The Francis, October 4. 1848. Catholics of Melbourne were a little disappointed at his nomination. They had hoped that the man who had built the mission into a bishopric in seven, years would be the first to wear its rnitre. Bishop Goold sensed the f eeling. and knowing the worth of Father Geoghegan. appointed him his Vicar General. Separation From New South Wales. The diocese possessed a growing population, partly centred in M elbourne but mainly scattered t hroughout a rapidly developing country. Political agitation for a n adequate share in the government of their country did much to• unite the people of the Port Philip district. Although they w ere granted six representatives in the elected Legislative Council
(By REV. BROTHER URBAN CORRIGAN, M.A., Dip.Ed.) in Sydney, the seat of government was so far away that ihe representatives of the people had t o break business •connections at home to live in Sydney, or the electors had to trust their political fortunes to residents of the rival city. They usually adopted the latter course to the dissatisfaction of all parties. Port Philip district was separated from New South Wales in 1850 by the Imperial Act for the better government of the Australian Colonies. Henceforth it would be known as Victoria. It would be ruled by a LieutenantGovernor on the advice of a Legislative Council, made up of elected members and some nominees.
ings would be increased by the fees paid by the parents. As the population developed and the people became more prosperous, they would -build more distinctive churches and the old building would be used exclusively as a school. This school would be out of date by the time the church debt was paid off. A new building, moulded on scholastic lines, would then be erected as the parish school. The Catholic Association of Victoria. To provide money for the education of priests for his diocese, Bishop Goold founded the Catholic Association. The welfare of the schools was a dependent issue.

Six years from the time Bishop Goold appointed Father Powell inspector of his six schools the number had grown to 74. with 4,000 children in attendance.

There w as a growing demand, however, for schools without any definite r eligious teaching. A few years previously, the secularist party had attained some measure of success in N.S.W. by the establishment of such schools under the National Board.
Education Commission in Victoria, 1852. In 1832, the newly elected Legislative Council of Victoria appointed a select committee to examine and report on the existing systems of educationFather Geoghegan upheld the Catholic opinion before the Commission. Its report does not show a proper appreciation of the difficulties that arose in a time of emergency. The sight of so many makeshift schools over the country made them lose sight of spiritual values in education. . . They declined to r ecommend the con tin fiance of both National and Denominational systems. as it led to the multiplying- of schools, to a numtiler of ill-paid masters, and to the rivalry and hostility consequent on tl-K. efforts of the promoters of these schools. They further state that they had good reason to believe that the mere amalgamation of those boards would not be productive of that harmony of action so essential for the effective administraiion of education. They r ecommended that a board of laymen, four in number. should be appointed by the Government to a dminister matters connected with public instruction that all public schools assisted from public funds be called Public Schools; that no child should be compelled to attend religious instruction if t he parents objected ; that certain c onsecutive hours, not less than four, should he devoted to the imparting of secular instruction: and that every exertion, regard. less of expense. should be made to procure. retain and train up c ompetent teachers and place them in their proper place in the social scale. (Mackie. P. 135.) The recognition of the incompetence of the schools was stressing the obvious. Much of the blame had to go to the divided control of education and to the rivalry between Anglicans, Catholics. Secularists who were mainly

Dissenters. These were difficulties, but they were not deterrents. The poorness of the teaching was more than a difficulty; it was a disaster. Good schools can carry on even when executives disagree, but poor teaching can never make good schools. The real cause of the trouble was the incompetency of the teacher and for this the administration was to blame. Difficulties arose, not because the Board represented the Church, but because the Board did not know how to train teachers. Very few people in England or Australia at the time knew much about it. The blame was transferred
from the personal incapacity of the Board to their religious principles; the charge was made for political capital. "In 1853, two Education Bills were introduced into the Legislative Council. The first, the Education Commission Bill, made no headway, and the second, the General Education Bill, was passed by a bare majority. As it was felt that so important a meaure should receive more support before becoming law, the Bill was allowed to lapse." (Mackie. P. 135,) (To be Continued.)

FOLLOW THE POPE. Sir,—The interesting letters from your correspondents suggests there is urgent need for organised propaganda regarding the Christian Corporative State. The policy of the Popes, as outlined in "Rerum Novarum" and "Quadragesimo Anno," seems to be overlooked while enthusiasts call on us to demand the national dividend, or to try and realise that the Red plank in the party's platform is not as red assit looks. 1 would humbly suggest to the monetary savants that the Douglas Credit System in a fallacy, that few of its supporters understand or can ex. plain that wretched proposition, that it cannot he actualised except by a dictatorship and much blood shed, and if it were actualised it would so closely resemble Communism that it would be difficult to tell the difference. • The day of Individualism, Capitalism, Liberalism (or whatever name suits the existing economic arrangement) is drawing to a close, and Australia will he forced to adopt some form of ordered economy, just as have Russia, Italy, Germany.

Letters to The Editor IN DEFENCE
THE CHURCH AND MONETARY REFORM. Sir, --We have frequently been told by politicians and economists that the nation has definitely turned the corner, and that prosperity is with us again; but before we take these statements for granted, we should see whether they are disinterested statements or not. "The problem before the Government is not only to make it possible for people to produce the necessaries of life, but also to enjoy the necessaries of life." In an age of abundance there is absolutely no need for poverty amidst plenty. Our national debt has grown to £186 per head .)f population. A case of the more we grow the more we owe! Our total taxation for wealth and States in 1935 wits £P'.000.000. It is calculated by good mathematicians that in 25 years'. time, all the money that we earn will have to go towards paying interest on the money we have borrowed and we will have nothing to live on!
Sir,—I have been criticised by a Australia, and, term the giving number of "Monetary Reformers," and "money" its truest arid widest interwith your permission, Mr. Editor, I pretation, I am quite certain that will reply to them, As far as "Simple neither he nor anybody else knows the Simon" is concerned, I disagree de- precise or even approximate amount finitely with his argument.

he Greatt Congress So far as Australia is concerned, Catholics might justly claim that they have the least reason of any to participate with any enthusiasm in civil centenaries. For, historically, the civil powers did everything possible to impede the development of Catholicism. Yet "the difference of our spirit" is remarkably emphasised in that the Hierarchy has, on two occasions, arranged a great Catholic function to coincide with the centennial celebrations of two States, and these have been of such proportions. as almost to dwarf the secular arrangements. Such is the irony of history that Cinderella has grown wiser and stronger than her step-mother. Especially appropriate, however, was the arrangement of an All-Australian Catholic Education Congress to coincide with the centenary of South Australia, for that State has made a not exaggerated vaunt of its cultural interests and achievements. This, like the lost culture of Europe, has been aided and in no small measure built by the Catholic Church and her educational progressiveness. To those few uninformed persons who yet speak of the Church's conservatism, the Education Congress will be a final and irrefutable reply. . One of the chief aspects of the Congress, which canno! I e overlooked, is its affirmation of the Church's right to legislate in the educational sphere. The tendency of the age is towards the Totalitarian State, which obtrudes into all avenues of communal activity and attempts strict eNtternal regulation. It has bludgeoned its way into numerous affairs in which it should have, at best. only a secondary place. The two major intrusions, so far as Catholicism is intimately concerned, are marriage and education, both of which it has debased and will ultimately destroy. In the present instance of education, the State has perpetrated a threefold injustice, which Catholics still claim is ultra vires. Education has been made secular, compulsory and free. It has been made a direct penalisation of the Catholic ideal and the Catholic parent. The present great Congress will emphasise the Church's right to educational dominion derived from Christ's commission to His Apostles to "Go and teach the `whole world." 4'
Apart from the positive assertion of Catholic rights, the Congress will be in the nature of a monster pro•test against the utterly alien and unjust system of secularism. It will tend - to move the average Australian to inquire why Australia does not fall into line with Great Britain, where the function of the state in education is simply to encourage and supplement, instead of dictating The tremendous advance .of Catholic education and coercing. made under the handicap of double taxation Will lend point to the Catholic theory of the worth and urgency of religious education, and should serve, by contrast, to illustrate the superficial and ineffectual efforts of secularism to establish itself as a basis of social life. It may even move other Christian bodies to the perils of secularism and to join forces with Catholics in demanding a revision of the present iniquitous system. The Congress has commenced under the brightest auspices, in the presence of the Papal Legate, and encouraged by a paternal message from the Holy Father. It will conclude to-morrow with an inspiring Eucharistic Procession in honour of Christ the. King, for whose love and service the difficult work of Catholic education was inaugurated and will be perpetuated.
, Armistice Day It is all too easy to be critical of modern life, for modernism lends its patronage to so many inanities which simply clamour to be attacked. But there is ample reason of complaint in presentHave men day tendencies in the matter of honouring the dead. lost faith in suffrages for the dead (that holy and wholesome thought) that they must star -I inarticulate for two minutes before their monuments? And the symbolism, too, of Armistice Day would seem unfortunate. The ppppy is emblematic of Flanders' field, but its older historical associations linked it with the sleep of oblivion. Why should not the Cross, the eternal Christian symbol of the depths of pain and of the heights of hope, be to Christians the natural and obvious emblem of the unconquered dead? There is something unspeakably alien about our sterility in regard t o the monuments of the dead. Not alien in the sense of belonging to a foreign race, but alien in the sense of springing from a culture antithetical to, Christianity. Our cenotaphs speak of a grief that is without hope. because they- are shaped in forms without ultimate significance. • a. Yet, crude as it be, it is of impelling necessity that we should cherish in.,some way the memory of the splendid men who perished The neo-paganism of the age, breaking in a profitless cause. through in the enervating sentimentalism of euthanasia, birthcontrol, suicide, and legion sensuality, is in sore need of - remembrance of the saving graces of pain and sacrifice. "These laid the world away, gave up the years to be. Poured out the red sweet wine of youth." • • • it is irrelevant to consider whether the war was the ghastliest hoax in the annals of mart. Its outcome cannot dim the heroism But it has this moral: of the men who paid with their lives.
Statesmen, whether democrats or dictators, should consider long and before God before ever they unleash again the dogs of %var. In their hands, and in theirs alone, lie the keps of peace. PaCifism, the puerile fad of the times, will not bring peace. It is the principle which the heroes of the ‘var died to negate. They would not have bought peace at the price of honour. In one path alone is peace found—in justice, domestic and international, and the statesmen of each nation can ensure this at least in regard to their . )wn households.
The Menace of Boots The endeavours of Boots' Pure Drug Co., Ltd., the English chain chemists, to obtain a footing in Australia has been justly impeded by the South Australian Government. Unhappily, in Victoria, a subsidiary of the company has been registered. The chain store system is unequivocally condemned by Catholic sociologists. because it opposes the wide distribution of property ownership. which is the cornerstone of social reconstruction on Christian principles. It is this process of forcing small retailers out of business 1)V unfair competition (aided and abetted locally by provisions of the Town Planning Act) that is specifically condemned by Pope Pius XI., when he speaks of ownership and power being concentrated in the hands of a few. The very term, "chain" store, symbolises the fetters which are clamped upon the economic life of many small holders in a nation where this system is permitted. The evil does not end with the subjugation of the small owner Distribution and even production are cornered and controlled. It is to be hoped beyond any words that Australian Governments will act without delay to prevent the infusion of this monstrous evil of capitalistic monopoly into our already tortured social life. America and England are in the stranglehold of chain stores and it is difficult to see how they will ever escape. In America, the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Stores have no fewer than 21,000 branches, Woolworths have 3.000, and J. C. Penny has 1.00iIn England. Woolworths have over 600 stores. They do not, course, force the small retailer on the dole, they compel him i • the chain store in a managerial capacity. He may even recei‘t• better money than he could earn for himself, but, most importan t he is less a human being. He is another man's servant, where before, he was free. The world has yet to be educated us Hi= trite conception of the nature of man, to the ideal of economi, .:ependence, rather than to the practical consideration of wage- r ceived.

In order that the Hierarchy and clergy of the mainland States who were unable to attend the funeral of the late Archbishop Hayden may be present, it has been arranged to hold the Solemn Month's Mind (the Requiem Mass customarily said one month after death) at St. Francis Xavier's Cathedral, Adelaide, on Monday, 16th. inst., at 9.30 a.m. On that occasion, immediately following the Adelaide Congress Week, most of the Archbishops and Bishops will be present, and, in addition, representatives of th.! clergy and laity of the Archdiocese of Hobart. Captain Pentony, of the NorthWest, came to Perth last week by the "S.S. Koolinda" for a short holiday. He has been engaged for many years in the shipping service between the Nor'-West ports and surrounding is1ai0s. and latterly on the Yampi Sound route. Captain Pentony is a brother to the Very Rev. Father Pentony, recent Administrator to Cardinal NIcRory, of the Armagh Cathedral, Ireland. In 1919, during the Great War, when the Very Rev. Fr. Creagh. C.SS.R was appointed Vicar Apostolic of the Kimberleys, on behalf of the Commonwealth Government, Captain Pentony purchased the launch "Gerado" for Father Creagh, and drove the Vicar ' from Fremantle to Broome. Later, in 1921, the captain piloted the "Gerado" with the Apostolic Delegate, Archbishop Cataneo, and party to the various native missions in the North. • Mr. Les.

NEW ERA HERBAL TABLETS.
To raise funds for our new church— the walls of which are now complete— the Hibernian Shamrock Stall are holding a picnic to-morrow, Sunday, 15th, inst., at Rockingham. The bus leaves the Gaiety at 11 a.m., and returns for home at 9 p.m.—ten care-free hours at one of the world's best beaches. On Tuesday, November 15, they are having a sports night in the Swanstreet Hall. There will be "roller riding," "air-shooting," "dart-o," "wheels," "fortune-telling," and all the hurly-burly that lent romance to the mediaeval fair, and that makes one forget that life at times is a nightmare. You go in for nothing, but how do you come out? Well, be there to see. On Thursday, November 19, the same stall is holding its usual weekly dance. Last Thursday's was good, and this one promises to be so, too. On Wednesday, November 18, Mrs. T. D. Murphy is inviting us all to her home in Melville Terrace to play bridge. We have been there before and so we are going again. On Wednesday, November 25. the doors for Pagoda again opens its "Witches' Revels," the last dance of the season. The booking to date is good. so that Miss Kay Kinane and her band of willing helpers are making provision for a large and happy crowd. Then come. "cheer me up, you sprites, And show the best of our delights." On last Wednesday evening, the annual benefit social for the Sisters was Mrs. held in the Swan-street Hall. Hunt was president and success as usual crowned her efforts. The fact that summer is coming is not being forgotten lw the managers Arrangeof the "Witches' Revels." ments are being made to tempt jaded appetites, if there are any jaded ones We hear that the in South Perth. witches are preparing to give us cold We are shudders down the spine. not to be afraid of the temperature soaring then, even to 103deg.
New Era Herbal Tablets Ltd., at 1032 Hay-street, Perth, W.A., are carrying on their business in the same effi. cient manner as for the past seven years. Their tablets continue to help many apparently helpless cases, and are still bringing about definite relief, after all other treatments have failed.
H.A.C.B. SOCIETY. ST. MARY'S BRANCH. NO. 283. K ALGOORLIE. nuarterly Meeting, St. Mary's Hall, Tuesday, November 17. ALL HALLOWS' BRANCH, BOULDER. Fortnightly Meetings. Members are earnestly requested to roll up. Contributions received any week day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. by the Secretary. S. T. HILT,. Secretary.
Few people realise that Perth is the centre of an entirely new and valuable industry, built up during the past seven years, which has been of great advantage to the health of the people, not only in W.A., but in all the other States, We refer to the business of the New Era Herbal Tablets Co., Ltd., responsible for the inauguration of a new era in herbal remedies, which up to the present time are not manufactured, or known, in any other part of the world. Connected with this more modern method of treatment is also a system by which a Human X-Ray, as the company have called it, the correct cause of the trouble is ascertained, more correctly than could be clone by any photographic X-ray plate, thus eliminating the necessity of experimental operations, at present in vogue amongst the medical fraternity. After the cause has been ascertained, the correct Herbal Tablets can be taken, and this is another factor which contributes to the success of relieving permanently so-called incurables. The old method of boiling herb, and using the liquids therefrom as a medicine, wasted 50 per cent, of the value of the herbs. This has been overcome entirely by the New Era Herbal Tablets method, which, by a grinding and sterilising process, makes it possible to form every part of the herb into a tablet, so that the full 1.enefii. is derived from the herbs This is primarily the reason why such remarkable successes have attended the treatment of various so-called incurables. The New Era Herbal Tablet Co., Ltd., has now been established in W.A for the past seven years, and the large number of testimonials held by them is abundant proof of their service to mankind. So great has their fame become, that their tablets are sent to ailing people in various parts of the world, including Burmah in India: Pottsdam in Germany: Norway, Great Britain. and South Africa. To cope with the demand for them, Eastern States branches have been -established both in Melbourne and Sydney.

Fremantle C.Y.M.S. Once again a good bowling performance from Mick Greaney helped our team to hold its head above water in our second match of the season against East Fremantle. Mick took eight wickets for 33 runs, at one stage getting three wicliets from four bails. Charlie Hansen had another run of bad luck, only one .chance out of six catches being accepted off his bowling. C.Y.M.S. started off badly and with 27 runs in the book had lost Ron Cant, Mick Greaney and Bill Hughes, and only an hour in which to get 120 runs. harlie Hansen and Len Townsend dug themselves in until Charlie was bowled half an hour before time. Two more wickets went quickly before Joe Kelly made a stand. Len was dismissed with ten minutes to go ,and it w as left to Bob Cusack and Brian Morrissey to help Joe hold the fort, which they did. At stumps the society had lost nine wickets for 59 runs—a close shave. The return of Kevin Kelly next week will mean the inclusion of a good allrounder in our ranks, while George .Teffs and Frank Townsend will be available some time next month.

"The Thirteenth The Greatest of All Centuries" MEDIEVALISM THE SPOTLIGHT ON SPAIN By STANLEY B. JAMES.)
ST 1'1:ANC'S OF ASSISI 1 l2-l22CI. The Wil(1 07,-111,1 Amidst Medieval Culture.
S
UPPORTERS of the Spanish Government in the present Civil War, writing in the English press, declare that it i contending against those who would "revive" the medievalism that has so long hampered Even the Spain's progress." " Times- indulges in this kind of language. With the more popu12r kind of paper these assertions s among the well-worn cliches which are the stock-in-trade of the unthinking journalist. It is all part of the absurd notion that because a belief, an institution, a regime is modern it must be therefore superior to older beliefs, institutions and regimes. It is due for the most part to a tsinfused notion of what constitutes progress.
For instance, it was taken for granted that the spiritual was superior to the material. There were no factories for the mass production of goods, but there ..:ere innumerable churches. No telegraph post stood by the roadside, but the wayfarer might be :,ure of seeing a crucifix before which he might say his prayers. The head of medieval society was neither an imperial ruler nor commercial magnate but one who represented the will of God on earth and who might be, in his o wn person, neither very learned nor very rich. In the Middle Ages, declared a well-known non-Catholic authority, the late Professor H. \V. C. Davis, there existed "a profound belief in the superiority of right over might, of spirit over matter, of the eternal interest of humanity over the ambitions and the passions of the passing hour." Society was graded according to social rank but the whole community, irrespective of class, was held together by a Faith which proclaimed the inherent dignity of even the humblest and which defined the mutual obligations and privileges of prince, noble and peasant.
The Christian Ideal. To quote Professor Davis again: What appeals to us in the medieval outlook upon life is, first, the idea of mankind as a brotherhood transcending racial and political divisions, united in a common quest for truth, filled with the spirit of mutual tharity and mutual helpfulness, and endowed with a higher will and wisdom than that of the individuals who belong to it." It is needless to speak of the Middle Ages honoured art in all its forms, for their work in architecture, poetry, and painting (all of the first . order) is with us yet to testify to the love of beauty which then existed. Nor was that love confined to a few intellectuals. way in which the
It was a common possession as is evident from the workmanship of those craftsmen who then performed the labour now undertaken by machinery. The guilds in which the craftsmen were organised were on a religious foundation and existed less to increase wages than to safeguard the quality of the goods made and to prevent underselling . or overcharging.
The Way of Nature. Those who talk in this way overlook th e fact that progress Implies ii ally change but also s tability ; there must be something that progresses. something which remains constant through ail changes. If I meet someone whom I have not seen f or a number of years and remark, "How you have altered!" I.implv that it is the same individual whom I formerly knew. But we csn say more than this. Nature herself continues to observe the systematic arrangement 4ath which she started. She irdoes not change her mind and in later years, transfer the eves from the head to the hands or add a third leg. and call it "progress." It is reaKinable therefore to suppose that the growth of civilisation. unless it be hindered, will be of a like character. Certain foundations will be laid, a certain order will be observable, and on this basis there will be an increasing complexity and fulness. The Middle Ages. W hen we turn to the Middle Ages we observe that society has definite structure. Certain nindamental elements were present and those were arranged according to a system that was .regarded as of permanent validity.
Physical science, it is true, was in its infancy, but the universities of Europe were crowded with a cosmopolitan gathering of students, many of whom came from the poorest class, engaged in plumbing the depths of metaphysics and following the difficult Nor is the labyrinths of logic. philosohy which they Studied .out On the contrary, it is of date. seeing a rebirth in our time which promises to extricate us from the confusion into which the modern contempt for reason has plunged us. Imperfect Yet Sound. These were the foundations of The matters medieval society-. referred to indicate the outline of the system which held things together in an orderly whole. It cannot be pretended that the building, either in a moral or an intellectual sense. was worthy of those foundations. Practice and theory behind lagged thought expressed itself often Just as the in crude ways. child's body is undeveloped, so medieval life was palpably imperfect. But it had a firm and just basis. The system itself was capable of generous expansion and would have experienced further growth had it not been broken up by the iconoclasts who, to remedy the defects of the building, pulled down the entire structure and destroyed the foundations. This is the "medievalism" in which some question to-day would have us believe is synonymous with tyranny and superSo far from that estistition. mate being correct, it would seem that the Middle Ages discovered and essayed to build on what must ever be the basis of a To normal Christian society. which any movement to-day seeks to revive the ideals of this "medievalism" we can only wish "God -speed.'

Probably scme of my Cornerites will share the satisfaction I feel in such an assurance.) Time was when I, a little girl, My brother's reasons tried to trace, By glancing in the looking-glass When, teasing, he would call me "Face." Two eyes I'd see, a nose, a mouth, Two cheeks just like a face should own; "I wonder why he calls me "Face"? I'd ask my reflex with a groan.

A Scrap of Paper. This flagrant complicity , carried on despite the resolution and subsequent repeated protestations of neutrality and non-intervention ,leaves us wondering. . Our thoughts go back to the time when an indignant world heard Germany call d treaty a scrap of paper. We remember, too, the justified outcry of all honourable and peace-loving people, and of the French in particular, at each of the frequent occasions since the war when Germany has shown her scorn for the Treaty of Versailles. "freely agreed and - signed." How is it. then, that France, whose tradition is one of honour and loyalty, who is the champion of justice and of human dignity, can have fallen to such a degree of perfidy and hypocrisy?

ABOUT THE MOORS One of the most persistent s landers of the anti-Reds in Spain, directly or by innuendo, has been that the insurgent army is mainly or largely composed of Moors let loose upon the hapless We have alSpanish people. ways known that this was a lie. We knew that the army in Morocco was mainly Spanish ; the rest European legionaries, or disciplined Moorish troops under Spanish officers. We knew that the army of the north, which now occupies a large part of the front line round Madrid. has been raised by voluntary enrolment as the army of the peoyle of Spain. Bui Mr. James Abbe, with the insurgents for the "Morning Post.' has now published the figutes in that paper. He .says that there rs are actually "about 5,000 1Croo— And "the Junta in Spain." have now about half a million They "have men under arms." 80,000 on the various fronts." That nails the lie to the counter.
We know—happily—that the base actions of a government almost entirely mad up of Jews and Freemasons — continental mason, i.e., sworn enemies of the Church—and elected at a moment of black depression and crisis, are no just indication of the real French mentality.
Surrounded by anti-Communist nations (the Spanish national victory leaves little possible doubt). and abandoned by her one-time trieuds (,and even, we have good reason to believe, by many of her own nationals) she would stand alone. It would be, to say the least of it, extravagant to c onceive of the British Empire joining liel to defend Red Russia! We think, and our readers_ will probably agree, that it would be our turn to clamour for neutrality and non-intervention.
