"What Am I To Do?" What would you advise me to do?
Normally speaking, I would advise you to give up th idea ot marrying a non-Catholic girl ,and seek one of your own ?religion. Failing 'that, you should ask the non-Catholic girl to seek instruction in the Catholic religion. Having received instruction she. could then ask herself whether she believes in the Catholic Church not. if she does, she should become a Catholic, and all obstacles disappear. If she does not believe in the Catholic Church, even after instruction, she c annot become a Catholic. En that case, you either put aside the Idea of marrying her, or else you persuade her to make the promises required and to agree to a mixed marriage according to Catholic rites. If she will not do that, the marriage will not !)e possible at all, Under no consideratien can you agree to a marriage anywhere save in the Catholic Church,
Advice to a Philosopher 'Epsilon," Socratic Club, Sydney: I must eliminate from this, your latest letter, quite a lot of Matter w hich is outside the scc;ie of my session. Firstly, I am not lure to coinenent upon actual cases if national and international political import, above all when your staternnt el those cases is based upon ne:essaeily- defective in formation. Secondly, there is no point in describing my own personal future possible conduct in problematical circumstances which have not yet arisen. Thirdly, I must ask you to try to keep within the bounds of reason'. Reason is at a discount where one finds a series of highly-strung rhetorical declamations, and my appeal is to reason. You should have had more sense than to write much of the "hot air" you have sent in; and it is quite unworthy of the philosopher whom you profess to honour by your patronage as a member of a "Socratic Club." I have too deep a respect for Socrates not to register this protest. Now let us turn to such sections of your letter as do involve the discussion of principles.
Killing "Fellow Christians." One understands that you could not picture Jesus with a, bayonet. That is so, And I explained why. And my reason was not based on the idea that it is always necessarily wrong for anyone ever to make use of a bayonet, however much we may deplore the which circumstances would render it neeessary. Yet you can picture followers or alleged followers of Jesus, with bayonets, killing their fellow Christians, I wish you would let reason dictate your statements. I have never professed to be able to picture anything of the kind. I can picture a citizen of one country, who happens to he a follower of Jesus, fulfilling military duties in his country's cause against the soldiers of another opposing counLtv, even though those soldiers also happen to profess the Christian religion, A man engages in war, not precisely as a follower of Jesus, but as a citizen of his own country; and his Intention is in no way to kill fellow His intention is to put Christian:-. the soldiers of enemy forces out of action. If he wanted to kill fellowChristians, he would have to interrogate every enemy he met regarding his religion on the score that he was looking for fellow Christians in order Your introducto exterminate them. tion of the Christian religion in such a way is quite irrelevant, and a violation of reason. If you cannot see that, the least you can do is to resign from the Socratic Club in favour of some other which makes no philosophical pretensions.*
Who Decides Just Wars? This, according to you, is quite all right, provided the war is just. as you have stated it, is not quite all right. I have never said that it is lawful for followers of Jesus to kill fellow Christians. That is a ridiculous substitute for the doctrine that it is lawful for a Christian man to support the cause of his country when it is engaged in a just war. Who is the authority which decides about the justice of wars? Catholic theology sets out all the principles according to which a war is just or unjust. If, however, two nations engage in war, we pass from the juridical order to the factual orThe decision now will concern der. the application of the principles to an

actual case. Who is the authority which decides which party has acted in accordance with just principles, and which party has violated them? Unfortunately the nations to-day acknowledge no competent international authority, The Pope could, and would be willing to give a sound judgment, did the conflicting parties submit their cases to him, with full documentary evidence of the matters in dispute. But they will not submit to his arbitration, and therefore must be content with such tribunals as they do acknowledge. They have established the "League of Nations," and the "Hague Court;" but these are not satisfactory because the nation which receives an unfavourable verdict will not accept it. However, since these are the only authorities the nations will acknowledge, they must restrict complaints of failure to themselves and their accepted tribunals. Certainly it is not reasonable to blame the Catholic Church, whose judgment is not even sought.
Have
'Catholic
Principles
Changed? One understands that your Church used to teach that a war could be just only on one side, That is still the teaching of the Church. As in all litigation, when two parties makes opposite claims in the name of right and justice, if one party is right the other must be w rong. No country could have the right to engage in war, unless another country had violated its rights- And a country which has violated the rights of another would unjustly engage in war. Its duty is to cease violating justice, and to make reparation for any damage done, and thus to avert war altogether. But your Church later discovered that a war might be just en both sides simultaneously. It did not. It has ever maintained, and still maintains, that a war cannot be just on both sides simultaneously. It would be interesting to learn the grounds upon which you base Your extraordinary statement This is a slight abandonment of the "Rock" on which your Church purports tc rest its foundations, is it nct? .1, what you have asserted is untrue, \ . ,or conclusion from it is equally untrue Perhaps we might call it a move to the Left. It would be better to make sure w hether there has been a move at all, before speculating as to the direction it might take.
If Australia Were Justly Invaded! Supposing that we, here in Australia, do not populate the country, and some other over-populated nation invades the country, would your Church torbid resistance to such an invader? if we do not populate Australia, the possibility could certainly arise in which an over-populated nation would have the right to demand ter. ritory. Granted such a right, on Cathohc principles, Australia should not resist the demand, but arrange by peaceful negotiations an equitable cession of space. If Australia refused, the over-populated country would have a moral right to take the necessary amonot of territory, and Australia would be responsible for the war that would ensue. But now the question arises as to whether the Catholic Church would forbid her own subjects in Australia under pain of grave sin to take part in the armed defence of the policy wrongly adopted by the Australian Governmcnt- The Church would say that objectively no Catholic would be justified in volunteering. If conscripted, he would not be obliged to fight; but he would be free to do so if he preferred that to t he enduring of the penalties his refusal would entail, Subjectively, of course, an individual Catholic who did not realise the injustice of the Australian attitude in these problematical circumstances would be personally free from guilt in taking up arms. . The invaders are waging what, in your conception, is a just war. That is so. :\nd therefore I have allowed that, in the hypothesis you give, the Australian cause, as a national issue, would be unjust. I have therefore given the principles which would govern the conduct of an individual Catholic when his country is waging an unjust war. Now that cencludes all in Your letter which cornpies with the rules of this session, so ! turn to the next enquirer.

Lenten Kegulations for 1937 SUMMARY OF THE REGULATIONS FOR FAST AND ABSTINENCE. (1) On Fast Days, those bound to fast are allowed one full meal,. at, or after mid-day. In addition, they are allowed two light meals, one of about eight ounces, at which butter, eggs. cheese, or fish may be taken in small quantity; the other of two ounces or three, at which a little butter may be taken. (2) On Abstinence Days flesh meat and meat soup are forbidden to those who are bound to abstain. (3) Lard and dripping may be used on days of fast and abstinence, provided they be used merely as a condiment or seasoning. , (4) All Fridays are days of Abstinence. (5) All Wednesdays and Fridays in Lent and in Ember Week, and the Vigils of Christmas. Pentecost, Assumption. and All Saints' are days of fast and abstinence. (6) Monday, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays in Lent. and the Saturdays in Ember Weeks, are days of fast without abstinence. (7) There is no fast on Sundays or Holidays of Obligation. (8) St. Patrick's Day is exempted from fast; also from abstinence, unless it falls on Friday or on the Wednesday of Ember Week. (9) When two days of abstinence follow one another immediately, the second is freed from abstinence. (10) Those who have completed their twenty-first year are bound by the law of fasting; they cease to be bound to it when they have begun their sixtieth year. ( 11) Those who are in delicate health, or who are engaged in exhausting work, are not bound to fast. Of course, those who are seriously ill are not bound by either fast or abstinence. ( 12) Those who are not bound to fast are allowed to take meat as often as they wish on a fast day, whenever meat is allowed at the principal meal to those who are fasting. (13) Confessors, even outside the Confessional, 'can for a sufficient reason, dispense in individual cases in the law of fast and abstinence. THE PASCHAL PRECEPT. Owing to the special circumstances of Australia. the time for complying with the Paschal Precept of Communion. extends from Ash Wednesday to the Octax e of the Feast of SS. Peter and Paul. CELEBRATION OF MARRIAGE. According to the present discipline 4 )f the Church. Marriage may he celebrated at any time. The solemn celebration of Marriage with Nuptial Mass is. however, forbidden during Advent or Lent. i.e., from the first Sunday of Advent to Christmas Day, both inclusive, and from Ash Wednesday tr Easter Sunday, both inclusive. COLLECTION FOR THE BUSHIES. I wish to remind the clergy that the annual collection for the above-named fund should he taken up on Good Friday, either at the Adoration of the Cross or whatever sacred functions will be given to the faithful on the previous Sunday, and the offerings from each parish will be forwarded to the Administrator as soon as possible afterwards. Wherever the Stations of the Cross are erected, the stations should be publicly performed three times each week during Lent. The indulgences may he gained also privately and at any time.

MEMBER OF MADRAS GOVEKNMENT PRAISES MISSIONARIES. In a lecture delivered in Colombo on November I, at the an Thome SemMary Hall. the Hon. Rao Bahadur A. T. Pannirselvam, Home Member, Madras Government, spoke as follows : "Indian Christians would not be what they are but for the missionaries who conic to their very doors and take them to educational institutions and set them on their feet in the world. I as a Catholic feel that at no time in the future, however much I can f oresee, can we wash our hands of missionaries. The moment we do so we shall decline. We are far away from the time when \ve can dispense with them."

Of the cavalcade type of story, dealing with that tremendous period of English history from the latter days of the late Queen Victoria to our own precarious times, Janet Beith presents us with an outstanding sample in her second and latest novel, "Sand Castle." The sand castle is a solid and imposing business in Manchester, built up in the lifetime of Charles Appleby, and swept away after his death by the 'eaves of the post-war depression. David and Alan Stewart, the joint heroes, come fresh and raw tmti, the highlands to make their fortuaes in the booming cotton mills of Manchester. David is killed at the Boer war: the reader feels that in exchanging Manchester ,for an indefinite hereafter he has the better of the deal.

Dealing in a more direct way with one of our social questions, "Jungfrau" is a book that may offend those who are offended by candour and a sincere determination to describe some aspects of modern life in a large Australian city, hut it should be read by all who desire to know why the Catholic Church so resolutely sets her face against sexual trifling, and even more resolutely against the modern means of avoiding the consequences of that trifling. It is the tragedy of a young Sydney school teacher, fresh, unspoiled, brimming over with poetical sensibility, who is overcome by the glamour and dignity of a middle-aged university professor. The two great dividing influence in her life are a loose-living but generous and intelligent woman psychologist, anti a painstaking but somewhat priggish Catholie woman doctor.

Saturday, February 20, 1937.
A short time ago in the Federal Parliament, Mr. Scullin, former Prime Minister, expressed the hope that inure would be done by the Commonwealth Government to assist creative Writers in this country. Now he has written a very welcome and arresting article on the subject in the new Australian National Review just launched in Canberra—a high-class literary journal that deserves the widest support. In Vol. I. No. 1 of this new monthly magazine, Mr. Scullin, under the heading "Australian Literature—A Plea for Government Support," puts in a timely word for "those who have contributed in large measure to our national literature." It is refreshing to find a politician, taking a keen interest at all in such unprofitable people as poets and tellers of tales, but Mr. Scullin is more than a po . tician. He writes: "Last year over 13,000,000 was paid in bounties and subsidies to primary producers. while only 11.250 was provided to assist Australian writers. Why should we wait until the physical and mental powers of our writers have been exhausted in the struggle for existence before we accord them any acknowledgment? Working in the face of great disabilities, the lamp of genius is often extinguished earlier than would be the case if the lives of those concerned were made just a little more comfortable. A Lead From the Nation! It is an anomaly that Australian writers should go overseas to publish their works when we hat here printers and publishers whose ability and craftsmanship have reached the highest standard. Books and periodicals valued at f1,000,000 are imported annually into Australia. They include books by Australian writers on Australian subjects. If adequate support were given to our writers we would be exporting large quantities of books written and published in Australia "Annual prizes, offered for tie best literary works in prose and poetry. submitted to a properly qualified authority. would be an incentive to our writers. The natilm could give a lead that others may follow. There are those who, proclaiming themselves practical men, will declare t hat the Government or Parliament should concern itself only with economic and financial matter:. That is a narrow view. 'Man does not live by bread alone,' and it is the duty of our legislators to take a lively interest in everything pertaining to human happiness — everything that will lift the thoughts of men and women to a higher plane. Good reading is one of the joys of life, and we should foster Australian literature by encouraging Autralian writers.

VIEWS
MR. JAMES SCULLIN, former Prime Minister, insists that "Man does not live by bread alone." not live on sentiment.
But sentiment is the basis of almost every practical idea. What greater sentiment is there than the love of parents for their children? It is said that material for Australian writers is very limited, that we have no tradition and little culture. This criticism comes from people who, to say the least, are unAustralian. Not so long ago we were told that we had no skill to manufacture in this country, but we have proved that we can manufacture goods with the best in the world; and what is true of those material things is true of the things of the higher mind and higher culture. "There are good Australian writers. We want their number increased and we want them here, doing their work in an Australian environment. To achieve that, greater inducements must be offered. Those gifted men and women should he made to feel that their work is worth while, and is fully appreciated. Thus will Australian genius be encouraged and Anitralian literature firmly established."

What is really wrong is the spirit of our civilisation. The world moves on! Yes, but the vital pro. blem is: "Is it to move under the control of Moscow or of Rome?

Mexico Speaks
A truly remarkable and important news item was reported threugh the cables during the week, describing how crowds of Mexican Catholics have demanded the reopening of the churches. This would appear to be the first public protest against the relentless persecution which has been waged these twenty years- It would appear to be explained chiefly by these two facts: Firstly, the Mexican Church emerged from the Calles' persecution during the years 1926-29 revitalised by the blood and prayers of many martyrs; secondly, under the passive oppression of the present President Cardenas, Catholics, though deprived of their schools, churches and clergy, have had the first opportunity to organise in twenty years. The fruit of their efforts is manifested in a militant Catholicism. They demand their ordinary rights as citizens Whether the in the Arne of 90 per cent. of the population. Masonic millionaire Cardenas will resist the will of the people in the glorious old Liberal tradition remains to be een. The news from Mexico is sparse, but it is sufficient to provide "copy" for a new tissue of anti-Catholic lies in the local press. The "West Australian" comments on the demands of the Mexican Catholics are completely misleading, and in some aspects directly false To describe the position as one of "a people which is tryirg to modernise itself by uprooting all its traditions, good and bad," displays an ignorance well nigh invincible. It is a cheap sham to attempt to cover up the cruelty and intolerance of Liberalkiln by an appeal to a supposed democracy, undirected, but striving tcwards the light. The position in Mexico has been simply one of political opportunism, which is more simply known as brigandage. Nor is it fair to talk about "a quarrel" between the The position was that a LibCht rch and "nationalist revival." eral Masonic clique, financed by British and American commercial 'nteiests, had imposed itself by violence on a people rendered helpless and ignorant by the suppression of the schools and the In no sense could it be described a quarrel, nor teachng- Orders. could the influence of American money be considered a nationalist revival • but the most objectionable feature of the local comments is the direct attempt to discredit the Church by writing glibly that "the religious life of the Church was at low ebb." and that "reform, Were it true that by universal 'consent,. was badly needed." there was relaxation in the Church, as there was certainly chaos in the social structure, no explanation other than the advent of Liberalise; in European politics would serve to explain it. Four hundred years ago, when .Mexico was ruled by Catholic Spain, schools a.nd universities flourished. It is only since the rise of pc-lineal "enlightenment" that the rot has set in. Only under Liberalism could the incredible banditry of modern Mexican poliAs regards the Church, it has been tics Le thought possible. purged and purified through twenty years of bitter suffering and victimisation. This most recent evidence of the militant spirit now prevalent among the unsustained Mexican Catholics gives the lie direct to the smug journalists who are the propagandists in the ants-Catholic crusade. Lastly, supposing the Catholic Church in li.Iexico had grown as decrepid and disunited as the established Church of England, or as lax as Hanoverian England in the time of Wesley how, in the name of common decency, were such men as Ciaz, Calle5. Obregon, or Cardenas to redeem it? Men governed only by the lust of power and the love of money, to whom human life, the spilling of innocent blood, and the desecration of holy places mattered less than nothing? The conception of LittEer as a reformer is not more ludicrous than this. These men who could not govern their own vilest passions, who could not control even the people whom they had made ignorant dupes. how were these to save, even had they so desired, the Spouse of Christ? It is intolerable that such cant can be written, tongue in cheek. wifteut the raising of a voice of protest. The heart .of Mexico in its darkest days was more sincere and sounder than the men who try to smother the Catholic cause with a barrage of inky lies.
A Puerile Report The report of the Church of England and Free Church Part representatives who recently visited Spain to investigate conditions there, is both futile and puerile. And that for three reasons. Firstly, the delegation was sent out under the auspices of the Madrid Government, and could not but be biassed in favour of the Reds. Secondly, its personnel was ptsrely Protestant. and could not be considered favourable to the Catholic Nationalists; and thirdly, it visited only the strongholds of the Reds, and took no account of the most important section of national feeling. It is only natural to expect that such an investigation would be But one might expect it to be spared the futile. charge of puerility. Yet puerile it is in the extreme. The party stated that they had been impressed by the obsence of anti-God propaganda or molestation of Protestant churches or pastors, while many Roman Catholic churches had been destroyed. Evidently they consider the molestation of churches ard the murder of priests as not being anti-God propaganda, but a work of the propagation of the faith. Likewise, to state that they are impressed by the absence of molestation of Protestant :hurches, is to say that one is impressed by the absence of heat in Nor is an anti-clerical (that is anti-Catholic) a i fngerator. me,v,.ment considered anti-God propaganda. because the report goes on to say that while a strong anti-clerical movement existed. there was no evidence of Godless propaganda.

Evidently their artistic value is considered more valuable than their religious. It is a puerile report. It serves one purpose, however. It gives us some idea of the prejudice with which the Spanish Nationalists have to contend.

It is a matter for surprise that so many misleading reports find their way into the Press with regard to the meaning and purpose of the civil war in .Spain, and with regard to the attitude towards that war which has been adopted by the great majority .ot Catholics. The most important section of Catholic public opinion in Spain is the Popular Action Party led by Gil Robles It originated with the founding of the Republic and co-operated loyally with the parliamentary system since its inception in 1931. In the 1935 elections it had the greatest majority in Parliament, and supported the successive governments, and took portfolios ix some of them. In 1936 it obtained a still greater majority at the elections, but the elections of about eighty constituencies were illegally annulled by the Popular Front or reactionary opposition. who did not wish to rule constitutionally. In spite of this, the Catholic Party, still preserving in its ranks seventy per cent. of the Catholics of Spain, worked loyally with the Government in the attempt to settle the nation's problems. From the assumption of office in February. 1936, until the outbreak of the civil war in July, the Government acted in a most tyrannical fashion. Its reign of terror was cited before the full assembly of Parliament by Deputy Sotelo shortly before his murder, and could not he denied. Eighty-four churches had been burned, nearly 300 persons murdered ,and eight hundred Catholic schools closed, and many private properties confiscated. To avenge this indictment Sotelo was murdered, and an attempt was made on the life of Gil Robles and other leaders of the Catholic Party. It threw out of work all those not affiliated with one or other of the Government organisations and erected Communist centres in Government offices. But the assassination of Sotelo compelled the Nationalists to take action. On July 18 General Franco and his leaders declared the Nationalist revolt to free Spain from the reign of terror. It was a great national movement an the part of the law-abiding inhabitants to free themselves from the five years of tyranny and misgovernment perpetrated under the Second Republic. It is supported by all shades of political opinion and represents the majority of the people of Spain. The name Of rebels as applied to Spanish Nationalists is unjust. A rebel is one who unjustly fights against a lawful power. But the Government of Madrid at present in Valencia is not a lawful Government. A Gyernment may be lawful in its origin or lawful in the exercise of its power. In a democratic regime the former implies that the Government is the expression of the people's will. The second demands that the Government act for the corn mon good, with (Inc respect for conscience, and the legitimate liberty of the citizen. The Government of Valencia satisfies -rvine of these demands. In its origin it is not legitimate—for it did not get a majority at the elections. In the exercise of power, it is not a legitimate Government—as was seen from its record of tyranny and has since been proved by its diabolic persecution of religion and destruction of Church property. It cannot be said therefore t hat the military uprising is a rebellion but rather a eitse of lawful r esistance - to oppression.
German Breach of Faith
To judge from the IneasTre and ever -suspect cable nes, s: th a.ffairs of the Church in Germany have reached an impassquiSince the Nazi Revolution of 1933 the old drama of the Church versus the secular state has been replayed. It was a revival of the policy of Bismarck, but was conducted with much greater subtlety. While there has been no persecution in blood, the advance of the Church has been effectively checked by the disbanding of the Catholic Youth Movements and their virtual conscription into the No.tional Youth groups and lyv the currency laws over which a number of ecclesiastics fell foul of the Government. Despite the fearless protests of the German Hierarchy and the Holy See. the Concordat has now been openly violated by the closing of Catholic schools in Bavaria. This repressive measure was prepared for a few months ago, when the religious teachers in these schools were replaced by seculars. It will be recalled that, towards the close of last year. Cardinal Faulhaber paid a visit to Herr Hitler. Coupled with the strong subsequent manifesto of the hierarchy against Communism, this was believed to presage a teconciliation between the Church and the Nazis. It now appears that it was the campaign against the Catholic schools which mofyated the Cardinal's conference with F itler. The conspiracy of the Totalitarian State against the Church has reached its inevitable culmination—the attack on Catholic education. And this is precisely the point upon which the Bishops will call upon thei;• people to fight to the death. Many ht;ci cherished hopes for th2 future of the Church in Germany because Herr Hitler had never committed himself to an official policy of antagonism or persecution. But now the pass is sold. So long as the State claims the right to fashion the minds and cons( iences of children ccording to a philosophy in direct denial of ristian principles, there can he no hope of an end to the growr g conflict in Germany.

Letters to the Editor
The Late Miss Mollie Scott
Correspondents are advised to limit their letters to brief and concise statements, thus avoiding undesirable cuts. NO-INTEREST MONEY SYSTEM Sir,—Referring to Mr. Treacy's letter of the 6th. inst., I am sure your readers will be pleased with his desire and suggestions for social reform. Most of us will agree with his views on Christian social ideals. The foundations of a true social system must, be built from a religious base. Nations who attempted to shut out God from the laws of State by materialism have failed badly, particularly in the everfalling birthrate. We now see such nations trying to patch up the errors of their ways. Our greatest fight is Communism, and the Church rightly asks its members to join in the fight of this awful social fallacy. It is generally thought Russia has socialised her money system as well as land and industry. This is not so. Russia attempted to socialise her money system ,and it must have been a great shock to the leaders of Communism that credit money and other currency of each nation is controlled from outside the nation, and Russia, too, had to fall into line. The workers of Russia are paying the Capitalists millions of pounds annually in interest. What do the supporters of Karl Marx say to this? What a delusion for workers the Marxian policy is! Capitalism breeds Communism, and Communism breeds Fascism, All three are most unsuitable for the right uplifting and liberation of the people. To abolish Communism the wrongs of Capitalism must he eliminated. If Communism is abolished, Fascism will die a natural death. Its existence will not be needed. No person is a capitalist who is using his brain or muscle as labour to live, notwithstanding the amount of money he may earn annually. and whatever he earns by the application of his energy, he is justly en• titled to it. Any restriction to a person's individual earning capacity is a violation of the just law of the individual, such restriction has Communistic tendencies. The true definition of a "capitalist" is a person who does not work in any shape or form, and draws money from the community on money he has invested without giving an equivalent measure of value of some kind of labour (brain or muscle) back to the community. Mr. Treacy mentions human greed. The main cause of greed in the human race is brought about b.) a simple undisputed fact, that is, because money has been legalised to earn interest, As parents, do we not encourage our children to save money and teach them. money will earn interest. Do we even think who pays us our interest in the bank. Be fore interest is paid to us it might first be earned, and only those who labour can provide money to pay interest. Money which he earns then is ormsxmammissins. Hibernian Annual Picnic.—Point Walter, Sunday, 28th. inst. S.S. Perth leaves Barrack-street Jetty at 11 a.m. Tickets, single 16, family 4/-.
unjustly withdrawn from /the producer. When I wrote on this subject a few years ago, it was with a feeling of loneliness and a slight feeling of fear. Both these have long passed. andI now write in the same company as leading economists, statesmen, business men of all kinds, many of whom have reversed their economic ideas, and now admit interest is the root of our troubles in our present social system. Among such .men is Henry Ford. A "capitalist' and a "no interest money system" are a physical and economic impossibility together. A true individual system (which is the ideal one) and a "capitalistic" system is also an impossibility: they cannot correctly function together. Monopolies, trusts, chain-stores, financial corporations could not exist a single week under a "no interest" money system. What a reform and what a true chance for individual effort. If such a reform is brought about, the policy of Communism will disappear.— Yours, etc., T. A. DUDLEY. Woodroyd-street, Mt. Lawley. PUTTING THE CLOCK BACK. Sir,—The problem of production has already been solved. The problem of distribution is our present difficulty, and as soon as we realise that the sole end of production is consumption, that is to say, goods are produced to be consumed. not to be destroyed -when we realise that, it will be one step in the right direction. Progress is natural to mankind, and further gifts from God ,such as creative and inventive genius, have made such progress possible to an extent previously undreamed of 011 the chaos in the world to-day is attributable to the fact that goods are produced at a faster rate than that at which the money to buy such goods is created or released. This can easily be 'remedied when the people express their determination to have it remedied.• Instead of facing _up to our duty and fixing the responsibility where it belongs, We are offered such suggestions as contained in John Jeffers' article. 'Back to the Land," that we revert to a primitive *standard of living, even under primitive conditions that we should gladly accept retrogression to the level of one hundred years ago, etc. To what extent must we put the clock back one hundred years? Is it to imply that all farm cultivation he done with one horse on a single furrow plough? I am sure such suggestions will not be regarded favourably, although John Jeffers is just as entitled to offer suggestions as anybody else. I believe it iyould be better if we made up our minds to follow the words of St. Paul ,when he said. "Keep the good things committed to thy trust by the Holy Ghost, who dwelleth in us.------Yours, etc., ,IAMES KELLY, South Perth.

The funeral took place on Friday morning, when .a Requiem Mass was celebrated at St. Patrick's Church, Adelaide-street, Fremantle, at which the Rev. Father M. Moore, 0.M.I., was the celebrant. At the conclusion of the Mass the cortege proceeded to the Fremantle Cemetery, where the remains were interred in the Catholic portion, and the Rev. Father A. E. Lynch conducted the service at the graveside. Mrs. Condon was born at Thurles, County Tipperary, Ireland, and came to Western Australia 45 years ago. She had lived at East Fremantle ever since, and her husband, the late Patrick Condon, who will be remembered as being connected with the Fremantle Tramways for many years, predeceased her in 1931.

Third Order of St. Francis of Assisi
Homely Stories by a Priest Friend
Tertiaries of St. Francis Here and There Around the World. Tertiary Movement in Holland.— Days of study are the contribution it Holland to the Tertiary movement. The results are considered most encouraging. Last year's meeting was at Weert. The annual pilgrimage of Irish Tertiaries to Lourdes has assumed big proportions, Last year the number amounted to 1,300. Prominent among the pilgrims was the Lord Mayor of Dublin, in the ancient regalia, which is only worn on most solemn occasions.
Wordsworth wrote "The Child is father of the Man." but these anee.dotes reveal a more profound paradox—the immense Chesterton in the role of Peter Pan,
G. K. Chesterton, until the cud, loved to play with toy soldiers and to create worlds of make-believe. This fact was told of the great author by his friend, Dom W. S. Rice, 0.S.B., headmaster of Douai Woolhampton, School, \Olen he lectured recently to a joint meeting of the English Association and the Catholic Society University at College, Southampton. Describing him in his happiest moments. romping on the floor with nephews and young friends, Father Rice told how G.K. once remarked, a little peevishly, to his secretary: "You can do what v(a.i like with mv papers. but please leave my toys alone." soldiers ‘vtre strewn all over the study.

Laugh Against Himself. In a reference to G.K..'s enormous size, Father Rice related that the great man once weighed himself 'with sublime results." Shaw had. said that. at least half (if him was outside the r ange of vision! Chesterton loved these stories—could always laugh heartily at himself. That was not merely a trick of giving himself a public character. hut also a device td hide his inner life In nit the public gaze. He was never a man to wear his soul on his sleeve. Speaking of Chesterton's simplicity of character and of his love for boyish things. Father Rice told a .4tory of how on his way to the little chapel at Bea, consheld. where he was receivesa into the Catholic Church, he pulled out a highly -coloured "tupenny blood" from a bulging pocket in mistake for his Ritua le..

To which she replied: "Look at .the ticket!" "Mrs. 'Chesterton assured me," added Father Rice. "that the story was true." Another anecdote concerned a conversation between Mr. and Mrs. Chesterton and Father Rice on bad lines ilk., great poems. Mrs. Chester as giving some examples when G.K. interrupted with "Then there'ltat irri-Aging man, Milton." apoioOsed profusely and waited for his wife to finish speaking. then made his own contribution: "There's that irritating man Milton—I've searched through his works for a bad line and cannot find a single one"
B AVARIAN SCHOOLS CLOSED. The Munich correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" reported on Thursday, 11th. inst.. that the Nazis are closing Catholic schools in Bavaria .despite Herr Hitler's guarantee under the Vatican Concordat that they should remain open.
The English Tertiaries had a large convention at Leeds. Three Archbishops, two Bishops and about 1,600 delegates took part, The Tertiary, Lord Howard, formerly British Ambassador to the United States, but as Tertiary simple "Brother Francis," spoke on the "Quadragesimo Anno" Encyclical of the Holy Father, Archbishop Downey tried to arouse enthusiasm for an anti-Communistic c rusade of prayer and penance. The name of the German Tertiary, Franz Hellwig; deserves notice. Sixty priests, twenty-five lay brothers, eight students for the priesthood, owned their vocation next to God to the wonderful exertions of this enthusiastic man. He founded a Sacred Heart League for the support of poor students. In St, Theresa's Church Calcutta. the Right Rev. Mons. J.

The Tertiary Apostle of the work. ing men, Bishop Emmanuel Ketteler, 'of Mainz, was honoured on the 57th. anniversary of his holy death. Thousands of men assembled for the lighting of a "perpetual lamp- at his tomb. He is honoured as a pioneer of Christian social reform. The editor of the - Fortnightly Review," Arthur Preuss, who died on December 16, 1934, was a model Tertiary. Although a clever author, he refused all honorary degrees offered him. A t Altoclting ,in Bavaria, on Aug• ust 25 last year, more than twelve thousand Tertiaries assembled to hon. our the Capuchin, St. Conrad of Parr,ham, who was a Tertiary before he became a Capuchin. A t Versailles, in France, the fraternity has an annual day of recollection. A fter spiritual exercises the day closes with Benediction. renewal of proission ,and Papal Blessing.

Bishop Vidal prevailed upon the Mission Sisters to care for the lepers. and at present they have charge of about 200 patients. Of a total of 1.356 lepers cared for by the Sisters at Makogai, 235 have been discharged as completely cured. Mother Mary Agnes has laboured for many years among them, and it is pleasing to see her heroic record so honoured.

MEXICAN PEOPLE SPEAK. Demand Reopening of Churches, A fter Years of passivity under Governmental tyranny and persecution. the Mexican people have at length demanded their rights and taken action to secure them. It was reported from Mexico City on Friday. the 12th. inst.. that thousands of Mexican Catholics had invaded the town of Orizaba demanding that the churches be re-opened. Some of the churches which have been long closed were forcibly opened, while others which had been put to profane uses, as in the case of one converted into a fire department, were cleared. Troops were called out, and finally succeeded in expelling the "invaders." Several of the latter were hurt when a pillar in one of the churches fell. About 20.000 people, some car. rying- banners inscribed: "We die. but God never dies." held m enacing demonstrations around t he town hall, with the result that the authorities announced t hat some churches would he nermitted to reopen. A t Cordoba a crowd of 14.000 'woke into churches and rang the bells exultantly.

THE JOCISTES BELGIAN CATHOLIC It seems to be the plan of Divine Providence that every enduring religious work should be The Young born in suffering. Catholic Workers' Movement was born in a German prison Its founder, during the War. the Abbe Cardijn—a Belgian Canon—was accused by the Germans of favouring the Allies and Durw as 'thrown into prison. ing his enforced inactivity the Abbe had continually in mind the great misery of the working He had done class of his day. much in the past to alleviate this but now he considered deeply the great problem that was before these young- men of combating the anti-religious atmosphere in which they worked and of his lived. As a result t hought and of his experience, Worktrs' the Young Catholic M ovement was to be born. When in 1918 the Abbe Cardijn emerged from prison his plans were made. A s early as 1911 he had gathertun(i him a group of young w orkmen (he was then curate of Lockett. an importat‘t working c lass parish of Brussels), and he had set to work to train them— no easy task. His work was interrupted by the war, and his In 1919 Ii ng imprisonment. t he Abbe was appointed Director of all Social Work in BrusHis experience -and his sels. opportunities thus increased to“-ether, and soon he had formed groups of young men in Lacken and in other parishes of BrusInformation was collectsels. ed about the conditions, of the Y oung working men, and meetings Vere held to utilise this information.

ly paper was published to spread the ideas of the group movement. • Finally a decision was reached that the problem of w orking class youth could be solved only by organising the movement and grouping all the Young workers of the country. In 1924 the statutes of the jeunesse Ouyriere Chretienne ( or young Catholic Workers), as the movement was called, were approved by the Belgian Episcopate. The work leapt ahead after this ,and lw 1925 the Young Workers Catholic numbered 5,000. Tn that year also a branch was formed for working girls Since then the movement has gone ahead until, after ten years, the Belgian members alonc number 75,000. The movement has been more and more perfected as time went. on. Its great work is the formation of leaders and militant Catholics among the working classes. Its activities include study clubs, retreat sections, social services ,such as help for the unemployed, hygiene services ( training-. etc.). help for soldiers. t he sick, etc. Its greatest power. however, lies in the fact that it is organised. Isolated Catholic 'Vi irking men find it difficult to bring about any great change in w orking class conditions, but the .1ociste movement gives them t he strength of unity. A lready the movement has spread to France. . Switzerland, PortuOal. Holland. Columbia, Spain, the Belgian Congo. Madagascar, Poland. Jersey, Jugoslavia and England. Why not to A ustralia? It is Catholic it is virile, it is organised. The J.O.C. I -. the mission of the workers to t he workers and is well worthy o f consideration here in Australia.
