Spanish War 'Real Crusade
For Religion' Declaration by Cardinal Primate of Spain in Interview

Bishop Gallagher, the superior of Father Coughlin, 'America's radio priest," died last week. The late Bishop, referring to Father Coughlin's support of Mr. W. Lemke, the third party candidate for President of the United States, said in November that no priest in his diocese would be permitted to take an active part in ; •olitics after the presidential election—won by Franklin D. RooF.evelt, who entered his secono ihree-year term recently. Bishop Gallagher, however, added that he did not mean to :rid Father Coughlin's work for die national Union of Social Justice.

not to read what one wishes on the subject of religion. If the "Witnesses" believe in .such liberty, how do they justify their efforts to force their books upon people who don't want to read them, and to subject people on their own doorsteps to an insulting disputation which was never invited? If, indeed, religious liberty is not to be restricted, then those who would interfere with it must be restrictd. And, since the "Witnesses of Jehovah" show no respect whatever for the liberties of others, they must be restricted.
A "Brutal" Priest Mr. Kinnimouth says that "a priest intercepted our representative, tore up our literature, and forcibly ejected him." Firstly, your representative should have had more sense than to be on the convent grounds at all Common decency should suggest that books reviling their religion would rot be welcome reading matter to the good Sisters. Secondly, your representative should not have needed forcible ejection, Forcible ejection is necessary only when an intruder obstinately refuses to depart. At the least hint that his visit to those whom Mr. Kinnimouth terms the -good ladies" of the convent was unwelcome, your 'Watch Tower" agent should have gracefully retired. Thirdly, no sensible person could blame the priest for tearing up your literature. I have a copy of one 01 your books in which a scurrilous and disgusting caricature of a Priest forms a full-page illustration. What else do you expect a Priest to do with such literature save tear it up, when he finds you distributing such insults to himself amongst his own people? Fourthly, I might mention that these " Witnesses of Jehovah" began their visit to Warragul by broadcasting through amplifiers in the streets insinuations 'that the nuns were a pack of immoral women reserved for the benefit of priests, and that Judge Rutherford has discovered why priests called are Do the 'Witnesses of Je"Father." hovah" think that the preaching of the Gospel demands a campaign of slander and calumny? The religion of Christ forbids us to judge others, and tells us that charity thinks no evil. But common sense should tell one that women who want to give themselves to a life of irrmsorality do not become nuns, renouncing all worldly amuse , ments, and devoting themselves to a life work of mercy and charity. Every .decent human. being in Warragul resented the poisonous propaganda of filth in the town.
Masonic Opposition The Masonic authorities refused to grant us the use of the Masonic Hall in Warragul for our lectures. A fter so often being called upon to defend the Catholic legislation which forbids Catholics to join the Masonic Lodge. it is quite a pleasure to be able to congratulate the Masonic authorities on their sensible attitude in this matter. It may be that a Masonic Temple and a Catholic Church stand for different ideals from many points of view, and that Masonic Ritual is incompatible with Catholic worship. But no Catholic objects to any naturally good moral principles taught by Masonry. In so far as it insists on good citizenship, the suppression of religious bitterness, and the promotiqn of peaceful fraternal relationships, it claims our respect. And the refusal of the Masonic authorities in Warragul to permit the use of the Masonic Hall for the diffusion of attacks upon the British Empire as the tool of the devil, for the preaching of religious bigotry and hatred, and the disturbance of the peace hitherto prevailing in their town, was more than justified.
A Theatre Closed to the "Gospel" Mr, Kinnimouth said also, "I personally booked the Warragul Theatre and paid a cheque for the use of it. Bu stveral days later my cheque was returued to me. I trust tiiat all other theatre pro. prietors in other centres will imitate both the common sense of the Warragul gentleman in refusing the des,_scration of his theatre, and his honesty in refunding money for which he cannot render the requested ser.-ice There is a definite attempt in Warragul to suppress the Rutherford got pel. The teachings of Rutherford do not They certainly constitute a "gospeldo not reflect the teachings of those "Gospels" which are so sacred in the But. eyes of all genuine Christians. - -en taking the word in the etyinoloI0
gical sense, Rutherford's teachings are not a "gospel." The word "gospel" means 'good news." But it is not news to tell us a long rigmarole of things which have not occurred, and pour out streams of absurd predictions which will never be verified. Nor is it "good" to describe with an almost sadistic joy the agony and misery to come upon all who reject Rutherford, and to foster ignorance, pride. greed, hatred and cowardice, And that the Rutherford message fosters precisely those five evil traits in human character I am prepared to prove on request to any listener.
Obstinacy of Fanatics We are determined that liberty of religious teaching shall triumph. In other words, you are determined that you will have liberty to deprive other people of their liberty as to w hether they will hear you or not. The Masonic authorities are not to have the liberty to refuse the preaching of Your disloyal and anti-social doctrines in their halls. Proprietors of theatres are to have no liberty of refusal when you ,,'ant to use their premises for the insulting of regular patrons. Householders are to have no liberty from diatribes poured out on their doormats, whilst the bbot of a "Jehovah's Witness" prevents the door from being closed and enables a fanatic to say, " you will listen, whether you want to or not." But I have dealt with this point already. In reality you do not want liberty of religious teaching. You want an unlimited liberty for yourselves that others may be deprived of religious liberty. And you must not be surprised if you own liberty to force unwilling people to co-operate with you, or to devour your literature is curtailed. Any objections to this would be similar to objections to the restriction of the litierty of lunatics by the walls of an asylum for the general welfare of the public,
The Catholic Claim S. R,, Belmore: You have said that the Roman Catholic Church is God's envoy to the w orld. I maintain that the command given by Christ in the last verses of St. Matthew's Gospel was given to the Catholic Church— that Church to which now belong. In the verses mentioned Christ says, -Going therefore, teach ye all nations. baptising them in the name of the' Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them, t o observe all' things whatsoever have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the con. summation of the world." Matt.. xxviii., 19-20. Can you give me one utterance of Christ to prove that the Roman Catholic Church would be God's envoy to the world? I have just quoted the words of Christ giving a commission to teach all the nations of the world, promising to be with those exercising that authority all days even to the er.d of time. Of course, you will want to know how the Catholic Church justifies her claim that this commission was entrusted to Your further questions will help her. to clear that up.
r
Is It Blasphemy ? I consider the statement
that the Roman Catholic Church is God's envoy to the world to be presumption and blasphemy. It is not presumption for the Catholic Church does not constitute herself God's envoy. She has been appointed that by Christ ,and fulfils His will in a spirit of humbility and obedience. Nor is the claim blasphemy, for the Catholic Church in no way usurps any of the rights of God in defiance of God. God exercises certain of His own rights An ambassador, legitit hrough her. mstely appointed by the King ,is not cuilty of presumption in fulfilling the duties of his office ,nor of treason so long as he keeps within the limits of his ,1(•1,gated p,:wer, and in no 5.2y opposes his influence to the authonty of the King who appoined him.
Is There Any True Church? I say that no Church has been commissioned to do the envoying you claim. That statement is directly opposed In to the express word, of Christ. S t. Matt., xvi., 18. Christ says, "I will Will you insist build my Church," that He did not establish a Church? Again, that Church was to be His envoy. He carefully gave it. the powers of an envoy, savim:. .

hear the Church, let him- he as the heathen. Matt. xviii , 17. The disciples were ccmmissioned to be envoys, but net a Church. Ihat cannot stana, Christ said, "I will build my Church," and He did so. The Apostles, as the first authorities in that Church, received the commission to teach mankind as an exercise of the power of the Church. It is impossible to restrict the commission to the Apostles only, when the commission was to teach all nations, and Christ promised to be with those exercising the commission "all days even to the consummation of the world." The Apostles themselves could not go to all nations; nor could they live 'all days till the end of the world." The authority was to be exercised in every age thence. forth. There must be some body in the world exercising it now. But the Apostles are not here now. The commission must have survived them, and it has survived them in the Church C hrist so carefully established and guaranteed.
It is never right for anybody to say that another is not trying to du what he thinks to be for the best, without solid evidence u the contrary, and without serious reasons for the expression of such a judgment. You would have no more right to say that of me thanI would have to say that of you. But leaving out the personal factor, it would be a definite mistake to say that the fulfilment of the obligations of the Catholic religion is not the correct way in which to serve Christ, Now must turn 'to others.

Why a Persevering Church ?
In those woros Christ tells us that amidst all the troubles and anxieties of this life true peace and happiness of heart will be iound in Him. alone. And He promises to be the consolation of all who seek Him in sincerity and truth. The man who learns to know and love Christ, awl who allows Christ to enter his life, experiences a refreshment, light and peace of which others know nothing.
I see nowhere in Scripture any Church after Antioch which had any power left to function as Christ intended. If you realised what you are saying, it is you who would be guilty of blasphemy in 'making such a statement. For Christ not only promised to be with the teaching booy He established all days till the end .of the world. He said explicitly, "I will build M v Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." If the Church lie established . had no power left to function "after Antioch,- then the gates of hell, or forces of evil, had indeed prevailed against the Church, wrecking the work of Christ. Now this offers us a 'dilemma. Christ was either God, or He was not God. If He wil,s not God, Ile was the greatest of blasphemers, and we are fools to be Christians at all. If, however, He was (.'wel, as Ile undoubtedly was, then He could do what He said He would do; and He established a Church against which the forces of v vil have not prevailed. His Church is still in this world, and has retained all those powers to function which He intended her to possess. And the Catholic church alone can be that Church, for she alone has been in the world all days since Christ. You yourself will not allow that any other Church can 'make that claim, for you say that no present Church retains the commission of Christ. But I have proved from Scripture that some Church must retain it ,if Christ's own words have any value at all. It is for you to ask yourself which of all the Churches in this world does so. The only Church which really claims to be the envoy of God established by Christ Himself is the Catholic Church. There are no .1ther claimants.
Do Catholiis Only Serve Lhri:t? Hcw can you prove that unless a man is a Roman Catholic, he is not serv. ing Christ? Here we must go gentiy• I prove that one who is not a Catholic is not serving God in the way Christ demands to be served by the texts I have already quoted. If Christ says, "I will build My Church: and the gates of hell snail not prevail against it; and if a man will not hear the Church, let him be as the heathen," then a man is not serving Christ as Christ demands unless he seeks out the Church Christ established and hears its authority. But in saying this. I do not say that any non-Catholic is not trying to serve Christ. Many a man, deprived of th, full truth through no fault of his own, tries wholeheartedly to serve Christ, little realising how mistaken his ideas. Weuld I be right if I said you were net serving Christ because you are a priest of the Roman Catholic Church?
Christ Our Consolation R.K., East Maitland: Will you please explain the following texts for me? i shall do so briefly. Our Lord said, "Ccone to Me all you who labour and are heavy buraened, and I will teiresh you."
A Eucharistic Text Our Let(' said, -He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath evErlasting life, and I will raise bim up on the last day," Christ uttered those words when promising to leave Himself as our food in the Holy Eucharist. In the Catholic Church Holy Communion brings to each recipient the very substance of the flesh and blood of Christ. And as that flesh and blood rose glorious and immortal on Easter Sunday morning, so he that eats that flesh and blood in Sacramental Communion lives by the life of Christ, and has a special right and title to share in His own glorious resurrection on the last day. •
The Mercy of God God has said. •'If your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow." It Ut it, ot course, promise that imeonditionally. Just prior to those o ords Ile urges sincere repentance of past sins, and encourages us to "cease do•perversely and to learn to do well," by promising forgiveness on His pal t however great and numerous may he our sins. in other words, God tells men that they need never despair of His mercy provided they are prepared to do their part
Valid Confession What are the essential conditions to make a confession valid in the sight of God? The essential conditions are that we are genuinely repentant of our sins, that we confess them to a duly authorised priest, and that we have the will to make such expiation of them, or reparation of the harm we have done ,as t he cmmfessor declares t be our duty.

THE DANGERS OF DEBATE a letter under the above heading and above the signature of J. A.. Richardson, that was published in your issue of December 19 last, I took a very especial exception to the following sentence: "I would like, however, to point out that if it is morally wrong for a Catholic to take part in a debate on the negative side oi• such a question as 'That the Spanish Rebellion • is Justified.' then I submit it is just as great a moral ‘‘..rong for a CatholH lawyer to accept a brief in 11-,.e Criminal Court to plead on behalf of a thief or a murderer. Does it follow that because a Catholic lawyer defends a thief or a murderer that he believes in stealing or murder? Surely not, yet that is a fair analogy." I would beg to say from the outset that to compare, even in the restricted manner as it is done here, a member of the Young Labour League team w ith a legally recognised lawyer, is like comparing the Christian with the Confucian religion, or l'ke comparing a theist with an English squire. No doubt the most popular and easy proof is I y parallel, and here there is no parallel. It is not a moral wrong for a lawyer. Catholic or otherwise, 'to plead 011 behalf of a The criminal, say a murderer. legally constitutwl :v.wyer has, t hereby, a civ;1 and moral right to defend a mtrderer in Court. WI-cox er. the defence would not be uninst sv,:n though the acguilty for cused is knr-:•y:. both natural av-d posit ye haw give the accused a right of defence. and 11-:. ice he may choose or may he g7 vt n an ad,.-ocate in spite of his guilt. Now, in ..;,; . c ot cations. the member of a Young Labour League is only it Young Labour League member, and as such he has no legal right whatever to take upon himself the defence of one single case—not even the defence of the innocent, inside nor outside Court. But the "forte" of J. A. Richardson seems to rest on the consoling analogy that in spite of his taking part in a debate on the negative side of such a question. That the Spanish Repellion is J ustified." vet this does not Pr( m'e that he thinks that it is not justified, lust as the mere fact o f the lawyer taking up the defence of a murderer does not prove that he believes in murder. But the whole pinnt is that it is unthinkable for a conscientious lawyer to declare guilty of murder, in spite of a made-up evidence, one whom he certainly knows to be innocent. And that is precisely what J. A. Richardson has done, bona fide no doubt. in his own debating- team court. He has declared General Franco a murderer, nay, a national murderer, in spite that he knows that he is the national saviour of Spain. J. A. Richardson is to be commended for his good faith, but he could have been in possession of innumerable proofs, all of them irrefragable. for the affirmative. A proposition couched in the following terms. "Ts one who resists a tyrannical government guilty of the sin of Rebellion?" would offer a better ground for debate and a better understanding to the public m in d.—Yours. etc.. DOM WILLIAM, O.S.11

"The communion of saints overfloiving from the cloister into the world!" tow many Catholics know this definition of the Third Order? How many t ertiaries even? Pause and think w ell on the deep meaning of this sentence. Can you perceive the full significance? You have often doubtless asked yourselves how you could perform your duty as Christians and l esist temptations in the world, is t his not a real solution: -The corn. mullion of saints overflowing from the h iister into the world.You are in t he world, yet not of the world. And the Third Order is a regular Order. having for its object to draw you Christian souls away from the pernicious influence of the world, by peni. tence and prayer, by inculcating an intense Christian life, and by the communication of the evangelical spirit w ith which St. Francis was penetrated. The evangelical spirit. munication of the evangelical spirit. Does not that suffice with what we -:aid above about the 'communion of ,,aints' to explain everything? St. Francis of Assisi was the first saint wtrthy to bear in his body the Stigmata of Our Saviour. Why? Be, ause he was the first to take the Gospel from end to end textually, to accept each phrase literally, absolutely, and because in truth he succeeded in so doing splendidly. His spirit, w hich tertiaries are bound to imitate, :till lives in the Third Order. As the Order is the third of those instituted by St. Francis, it follows that the Third. e'ranciscan Order is in constant communication with its elders, and at the same time with its saints, not to mention the numerous privilege-, which have been conferred on it by many of the Popes. Why 1, the Order not better known in Perth? We do not speak of other countries, kni ,wing that there are more than three million Franciscan Tertiaries in the world. It is not better known because many Catholics do not trouble to advance in the spiritual life. but are quite content with a fair mediocrity, They are not curious of what they do not know. and then they are not told enough about the Order. There might be many more teriar:es. especially among the men, who seem impregnated with prejudice regarding it. One wonders why. Yet St. Fran. c is is the most joyous of saints, the least austere. Franciscan joy is not Anyone privileged to a vain word, assist at a pilgrimage to St. Francis d' Assisi would agree that never had they seen so joyous a gathering of foks of all grades. or such fraternal charity. and they would have had to agree that, while others were wearing them.elves out in the fruitless endeavour to find a solution to the social question, the Third Order had solved it and in the best manner.

The town was utterly destroyed by the merciless conquerors, and the wretched inhabitants, or as many who were able, fled to Cyprus and Italy, spreading the sad story of the fate of the Christians of the East. This town of Acre was the last stronghold of the Crusaders. At Jerusalem, however, there remained a few suns of St. Francis, and in the name of the whole Catholic Nvorld they took upon themselves the protection of the Christians, pilgrims. and the holy places. Thus began in history what is known as the "Guardianship of the Holy Land." or "Custodia Terrae Sanctae."

R enaissance James J. Walsh, M.D. Erasmus abused them as teachers when such men as Rudolph Agricola, prince of scholars, Thomas a Kempis, Alexander Hegius. Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa, and acob Wimpheling. "the schoolmaster of Germany," praise them highly? The Brethren of the Common Life were at the end of the fifteenth and the beginning of the sixteenth century the tender foster -mother, the real alma mater, of a whole series of scholars whose reputation has deservedly lasted until our time and whose names have become imperishable landmarks in the history of scholarship. There was another man educated within a decade of the time v 'hen Erasmus secured the foundation of his education who was a dear friend of the Dutch scholar and yet presented the greatest possible contrast. This was Thomas More, afterwards Sir Thomas, and now Saint Thomas. He and Erasmus became close friends, and in spite of somewhat more than ten Years which separated them, they continued their friemiship until More perished on the scaffold. The greatest mystery of Erasmus' life, and there are many others, is undoubtedly the persistence of friendship with Sir Thomas. More, too, was a scholar. hut of a very different kind from Erasmus. The Dutchman knew more. but he had nothing- like the fine character of the Englishman. They were striking examples of the difference between education of the intellect and education of the will. Long ago Aristotle declared that nan's will is more important, far surpassing his intellect. This was the difference between the two men. Huxley on Education. W e have a rather surprising declaration from Huxley illuminating well this difference of education. In his address on "A Liberal Education and Where to Find It," delivered some fifty years ago before the South London Workingmen's College. Huxley said in terms that must have quite shocked some of his scientific friends: That man, I think, has had a liberal education who has been so trained in youth that his body is the ready servant of his will, and does with ease and pleasure all the work that as a mechanism it is capable of; whose intellect is a clear, cold logic engine. ready, like the steam engine, to he turned to any kind of work and spin the gossamers as well as fr,rge the anchors of the mind : who, no stunted ascetic, is full of life and fire. hut whose passions are trained to come tc heel by a vigorous will, the servant of a tender conscience One hears very little, in our day, in educational circles of a "vigorous will." As for a "tender apparently conscience," that seems to the great majority of people a supremely absurd suggestion. If you keep watch and ward over yourself, you will be
sure, so most of the intelligentsia seem to think, to run into various nerves, neuroses and psychoneuroses and the rest, as a result of the repression that must be practised. We hear still of the necessity for self-expression if we are to continue with a healthy mind in a healthy body. Where would Huxley's tender conscience find itself in conjunction with the supposed results of repression that have disturbed so many in our day? No wonder that Huxley felt free to confess after careful search throughout Britain he was unable to find a college or university where such a liberal education might be found. Quite needless to say. there was a lot of teaching and a lot of studying, but there was something lacking in the educational part. Tliomas More would undoubtedly have represented the product of a liberal education. He has had the advantage of being one of the young men who lived in the household of Cat-Anal Morton and was brought up under the tender paternal eve of that prelate, himself one of the distinguished Renaissance scholars of the time. Erasmus got his start in life from the Brethren the Common Life, and the continuance of his education mainly f rom his own efforts, and like so many another self-made man he w orshipped his creator. Wit v. Humor. The contrast between Erasmus and More was emphasised Particularlv by their attitude toward life. Both of them saw very clearly the discrepancies between life as it was and as it might be. In one of them the recognition of this gave rise to humor, in the other wit. It has often been said that the two words are hard to distinguish clearly, but the distinctions between the two modes of expression are well drawn in the character and writings of these two men who so thoroughly understood each other. Erasmus was witty to a degree that makes him one of the wits of the world. More was a humorist whose jokes are a part of his heritage for mankind. Wit is biting. and many an enemy did Erasmus make for himself by his sallies of wit and above all of satire. Many a friend did More make because of his humor a*-1 his sympathy.

THE
ANTI-FASCIST
Concerning Crusaders: "Is There Something Anti:Catholic About Rifles?" By ARNOLD LUNN IAM not a Fascist, and I do not suggest that all who prefer democracy to Fascism suffer from the anti-Fascist complex, which finds expression in such superficial verdicts as the view that there. is little to choose between Fascism and Communism. . Communism bv its very constitution is committed to ruthless war against religion. Austria and Portugal, Fascist States, are committed to transform the State into a Catholic Society along the great Papal Encyclicals. The fact that we hear so little of Portugal and so much of (;ermany in our Press is evidence of the success of Left wing propaganda. But let us compare Fascism where Fascism is least friendly to the Church, with Communism in Russia and with LiberalHn. so-called, in prerevolution Spain. A CONTRAST The "Commonweal- of October 2 reports that Communists are t ransforming famous churches into aborts, that human excreCathedral, and that chalices are being put to foul uses. The "democratic" Government of Madrid did nothing to prevent the destruction of 160 churches and the killing and wounding of 1,556 people, mostly Catholics. before the revolution broke out. In the same issue of the "Commonweal" I learn that Cardinal Faulhaber delivered a "challenging sermon" in criticism of the Government's attempt to turn Catholic schools into "neutral school . ' But the Cardinal is s till free to attack the Government in a church which has not been burnt by Liberals nor turned into a latrine by Communists. Victims of the anti-Fascist complex identify Fascism with the defence of capitalism, an illusion which is not cherished by those who have had business relations with Italian industrialists. Seventy per cent. of the disputes between employers and workmen are settled by the courts in favour of the workmen. Mussolini has no social ambitions. He was recently invited to open a new golf course. He looked at the course and sniffed: "Game for gentlemen.' This story was reported to me by a member of the Italian aristocracy who dreaded Mussolini's Socialistic bias. An influential German of the old school described Nazism to me as "the tyranny of the lower middle classes."

Under What Hag?
The Manila Congress The 33rd International Eucharistic Congress which will commence in Manila, the capital of the Philippine Islands, on Wednesday next, will be an event of importance and interest to the entire Catholic world. Several remarkable features characterise the selection of the Philippines as the venue of an International Eucharistic Congress. Only two years ago when America granted the Filipinos autonomous Government, a new nation was born in the East and that, the oldest Christian foundation in the Orient. The amicable relations between America and the Philippines then sealed in the secular sphere are now ratified by the spiritual bond between the two nations, emphasised by the appointment bf Cardinal Dougherty as Papal Legate to the Congress. There is a yet older, though less happy, link with Spain preserved in the bilingualism of the Islands and in the personnel of the Clergy and Hierarchy. The gathering at Manila will illustrate with perhaps greater force than any other International Congress, the catholicity of the Church. Conferences have been arranged in almost every language and representatives of almost every nation will attend.
It was a matter of some surprise that the "West Australian" of the 21st inst contained "some first-hand impressions of the Spanish situation," i.e. of the justice of the Nationalist cause and of Russia's machinations prior to, and during the Civil War. These s tatements were made by Mr. L. G. Grace, a former New Zealand man, who is revisiting the Dominion. It was not surprising to find that Professor Beasley of the University of W.A. had taken up the New Zealander's impressions as a challenge to "historical accuracy," but it was astounding that the "West Australian" considered this refutation worthy of half a column on the cable page! The editor must surely have seen, with the man in the street, that whereas it is quite certain that Mr. Grace spent some ten years in intimate connection with Spain and her affairs, it is not clear that ,the Professor had so spent ten minutes. Again, the burden of the Professor' apologia was to discredit Mr. Grace's views as "fantastic theories" whereas they are simple facts accepted and published by many of the most reliable newspapers in England and on the Continent.
Considefing that the Philippines lie so close to Australia, surprisingly little is known about them among Australian Catholics. Some are even moved to ask why the Philippines were chosen as a fitting setting for the Congress. In the first place there are some 11,000.000 Catholics in the Islands, which have two archbishoprics, ten dioceses, two prefectures-apostolic, and more than fourteen hundred priests of whom eight hundred are native. The Philippines are the only Christian nation in the East, and Manila had an important hierarchical position in the Church many decades before the ecclesiastical organisation of the United States was effected. Again, the geographical situation of the Malay Archipelago was a factor in its selection. This is further emphasised by the missionary spirit which is so evident in the programme and the propaganda already undertaken in China, in Indo-China and in Japan. A truly remarkable bond of unity exists between the missionary lands of the Orient which look naturally to the sole Catholic nation of the East as to the centre and pivotal point of that unity and brotherhood.
Despite Professor Beasley's disclaimer of any attempt to find sxcuses for the murder of Sotelo or to whitewash his murderers, that is the whole pith and substance of his letter in the mottling press. Calvo Sotelo's death was no mere matter of reprisal for the murder of Castillo. In June of last year Gil Robles made in the Cortes a statement which proved beyond question that the "constitutionally elected Government" of February was unable to govern and could not control the rising hordes of anarchy. One One two Communist deputies. was threatened with death l week later Calvo Sotelo made another statement adding to the list of atrocities. The Government did nothing to check the increasing murders and incendiarism. But it closed the Cortes so that there would be no more debates or revelations. That very night Calvo Sotelo was murdered by his Government policeguard. That was on July 13th when Calvo Sotelo told Azana plainly in the Cortes that if he could not control his Red allies who already had Spain in a foment of disorder, the Right would rise to save their country. Four days later the military forces c ommenced their offensive against the destructive forces of Communism.
Elaborate preparations for this great Eucharistic event were commenced in 1935 when a collective letter of the Bishops announced the unusual favour that had been accorded the Philippines and emphasised the important character of the Congress. The spiritual preparations have taken the form of local congresses since the National Congress of 1929. During the past two years there have been continuous Eucharistic celebrations even in distant hamlets where there are only small congregations. These celebrations were, in fact. Eucharistic triduums during which special sermons. were preached and numerous conferences held, in addition to several "closed retreats." With such preparations it cannot be but that the Philippine Congress will bring forth great results and abundant blessings, especially on missionary endeavour in the East. It will serve to keep focussed on the great Catholic nation of the East those peoples who still sit in the shadow of the valley of death. And it will serve, too, to hearten us who are dismayed by the decay of Western civilisation to know that the Old Faith is building a great new mansion in the East.
Professor Beasley deals firstly with one or two trivialities such as Mr. Grace's reported assertion that "one man in the Government who was against this (the Sovietising of Spain) was Senor Sotelo." He is at pain:, to illustrate that Sotelo was not a member of the Cabinet. Mr. Grace quite obviously did not s tate that he was. Presumably he used the word "Government" in the loose sense, meaning a member of the Cortes. Secondly, the professor states that the Government was not "Socialist and R epublican." Yet everyone knows that the February elections, so patently rigged, was a victory for the Popular Front. It was not Azana's puppets that ruled hut the mob of the Popular Front. The rest of the professor's explanations rest on thg fantastic theory that the Civil War was a rebellion against a lawful and competent Government. We can only refer the professor to the reports of the Diario de Sesiones published daily between February and July. 1936, and to the testimony of such men as the confirmed anti-clerical, Unamuno and Professor Allison Peers of the Liverpool University. Our chief puzzle is why the professor is so anxious to deny Russian complicity in the Spanish War. Surely he has not been gulled by the focal press.
The Holy Name Society 'The establishment of a Diocesan Union to form a central government of the Holy Name Society, which took place during the week marks an important step in the progress of the Society. The objects of the Union are the federation of the several Branches in the Archdiocese, the fostering of renewed activity in Branches already established and the arousal of interest in the Society in churches where Branches do nct exist. The Diocesan Union is merely a Federation of Branches under a central government without any legislative authority. Consequently it does not interfere with or lessen the independence of Parochial Branches in any way, but exists for the good of each, offering counsel or suggestions wherever required, and keeping individual Branches in touch with the work of the Society as a whole. Experience has proved in other countries, that the results accomplished by the various Diocesan Unions have been most gratifying. It is confidently hoped that as a result of the organisation of the Union in this Archdiocese. new Branches will quickly come into being, old Branches take on new life, and that the membership will be considerably increased.

100 Franciscans Killed
To allow for the necessary expansion in their Showroom, The Economic Stores have acquired the Piccadilly Ballroom.
Terrible loss of life is reported among the Franciscan Friars Minor by the "Osservatore Romano." The number of dead priests is certainly over 100.
The workmen are waiting to begin the necessary structural alterations and, in order to clear stocks in double-quick time
Father Saniago Viezna had his feet and hands lopped off at Arenas. At Fuenteovejuna, seven Franciscans had their tongues sliced off and were then shot, because they would riot blaspheme.
'THE ECONOMIC' ARE HOLDING
Four Franciscan priests and four lay brothers were shot at Lerida with the Bishop and the members of the Cathedral c hapter.
A • COMPULSORY LIQUIDATION SALE
A Pilot took up a passenger in his aeroplane and did some stunts. In one of them he nearly came to grief. As he righted his machine he said to his companion: "Now, I bet that fifty per cent. of those people below thought we should be killed." "Yes," said the passenger. "and fifty per cent, of the folks up here thought so, too."

It gives a bird's-eye view of the whole Masonic organisation. For God and Spain. By Aodh de Blacam. The pamphlet covers tl.e whole range of the Spanish Civil War, trao-s the historical causes and the issues at stake: analyses the hazy word "Fascism," and answers much pro-Communist propaganda, Catholic Education. Here two very important documents are printed. The first is the Letter of the Holy Father, forwarded to the Archbishop of Adelaide, and read at the formal opening of the National Education Congress. The second is t he official pronouncement of the Hierarchy of Australia on the Education Question.

New Method to Revive Electrocution Victims Research by Professors of Jesuit University NEW YORK, A new practical method of reviving victims of industrial electrocution may be established by the research of two professors of Fordham (Jesuit) University, Dr. William McNg and Dr. Leonard Piccoli. Medical authorities, it is explained, hold the view that most deaths resulting from low-voltage electric shocks are attributable to a condition known as "ventricular fibrillation,"—a state in which the heart muscre fibres are working but are not co-ordinated in the steady rhythm necessary to produce circulation. "Our experiments show," Dr. Piccoli stated, "that by sending a 60-cycle alternating current. through the heart of an animal apparently dead of electric shock. the fibrillating- heart muscles are
restored to their normal activity, and the animal revives. -Although we have not yet had the opportunity of trying our method on electrocuted humans, we believe that we have established what may become the first practical system of reviving the victims of industrial electrocucntion." One night a man aroused a doctor at his residence and asked him how much he would charge for a call to a distant London suburb. "One pound and two shillings," said the doctor. The man agreed to the terms, and the doctor dressed ,got his car out of the garage, and drove with the man to a point far out in the suburb. "Here's your fee," said the man. "But where's the patient?" asked the doctor. "Oh, there isn't any," said the man. "You see, the taxi driver in town wanted two pounds for the trip,"

The Church is Being Persecuted "Beachcomber" on Spain. Mr. J. B. Morton, alias "Beathcomber," has published an article in connection with the C.E.G. Conference at Leeds, entitled "The Spirit of Inquiry." He writes :— "Out of the welter of falsehood, fantasy and mere debased sensationalism rises one fact. Nu newspaper can conceal it. The Church is once more being persecuted. There is no room in the world for Communism and the Faith. Realising this, a man with any intellectual curiosity will soon grasp another point. He who is neutral in the struggle is helping the enemies of Christendom. "He That is Not With Me is Against Me."

The Appeal of Christ From the Gospel Pages their demonstration of woe must
have been more wild and clamorous than ever, for they were seeking to give utterance to sorrow such as no tears can wash away.

"Do not weep," He said to her; and forthwith, coming closer, He touched the bier. The bearers understood His gesture, and stood still. The throng waited in suspense for what was about to happen; the flute-players and the wailing women were hushed and still; through this expectant silence they heard the voice of the Saviour: "Young man, I say unto you, Arise!"

The Choice Between Property and Slavery NDUSTRIAL Capitalism has infected Christendom with evils now proving unendurable- Men will no longer tolerate them, and in the attempt to escape them, may rush upon chaos or sink into servitude. Under indhstrial capitalism life has been rendered, for the bulk of men, mechanical and inhuman. Wealth is produced by those who may not enjoy the fruit of their labour; there is no bond of loyalty to superiors nor satisfaction with the work. The few who control t he means of production and the s till tin )re important machinery of finance have no object but profit to be obtained at the expense of those who create the goods necessary to mankind. The less the worker receives of N'hat he himself has made. the more "prosperous- must industrial capitali i be.
Distributism The Only Basis of Freedom By .11 I LA IRE
ELL OC
E are often asked what definite remedy we propose to counteract the curse of industrial capitalism. Our policy has been clearly defined by Mr. Relloc, who reviews the whole situation in this article. Refusing to be impaled on t he horns of the Capitalism—Co rnmunism dilemma he seeks a solution in a general restoration of property, proposing the real alternative of property or slavery. The criticism ot our reader s on this general plan will be el -omed.
It has long been manifest that such conditions could m)t endure even as a mere economic -ystem l'ri)duction could not continue when it was the interest of the free producer to produce as little as possible. Meanwhile the system was killing its own market. The cheaper the labour of the masses, the more the public power to consume what the public had made declined.

We deny that there is any inevitable process by which the economic 'unit must get larger and larger. We deny the universal supremacy of the larger over the smaller instrument.
