in attracting large masses of people—rich and poor, students, professors, writers, artists, aristocrats, and even ecclesiastics— masses so blinded that, when they co-operate with Communist initiatives, they are convinced that they are assisting the cause of "democracy." Communism is an extremely serious threat, which cannot be waved aside as the affair of a few eccentrics, nor expected to disappear as a mere passing fad.
This completes a detailed list of demonstrations organised in England on behalf of the Spanish "Reds" between November 12 and December 6. It illustrates the completeness of the Communist campaign. (4) There is a pychological fact of immense value to the Communist. The word emotion expresses it. Who is there, except he be a pervert, who feels no•pity for those who suffer :-' To further their subversive propaganda the Communists exploit the very human sentiments of ,compassion and solidarity which exist in the hearts of all men. The Communists have collected not only money, clothing and food. but they have also gained the admiration of people who gave something to a cause in which their co-operation was sought. After all people are only gained aver to causes for which they make sacrifices. ( 5) It is folly to go on denying or minimising the strength of the Comm' mist organisation.

Battersea: A Spanish week \vas started. Hundreds of women were already knitting for it. With this I close the list, and draw the following conclusions: k 1) The English Communist Party is making capital of the Spanish Civil War in their efforts to create a "United Front" in Britain. That they are succeeding is •fairly evident from the fact that at the "meetings" and "demonstrations" which they have so far organised, they have beeti able to induce speakers till different parties to attend. 2 ) It must n• )t be inferred that all the people who attend these meetings arc Communists Many arc not essentially Communist ----but the' listen to. , )rous attacks on their own party leaders. and to criticism of their own party affairs. In other ‘v(0-ds. the "United Front" is being created "from below." ; 3) It is a well-known fact that Catholics are fairly influential in the British Labour Party. and in the "struggle" against "Fascism" t he Communists leave nothing midone to gain the sympathy of the Catholic element.

Out of five hundred priests in the fraction of his Archdiocese that has been reconquered, two hundred and one were murdered.

This letter was answered on December 22 last by no less a personage than Senor Donjose Antonio Aguirre. a Basque lawyer, whom the Reds have appointed first President of the Basque Republic. .Senor Aguirre has been described by the Cardinal as "a Catholic and a friend of priests," but the intensity of his Basque nationalism makes him unable to realise that his SPECIALISE IN Red allies are enemies of the Church, and that their promise to respect the religious feelings ot the Basques is a promise whichi ALSO they cannot and \ vill not keep.

QUADRUPLETS KILLED IN AMBULANCE SOON AFTER B APTISM. Three quadruplets born to Mrs. Arcade Rondeau at Point aux Trembles, died as a result of injuries they sustained while being taken to hospital in an ambulance. The ambulance collided with a snow plough. The quadruplets' nurse, Charlotte Beautegard, foreseeing the crash, threw herself against the inside of the ambulance to form a guard for the babies. thus preventing them from being killed outright. She escaped injury. The driver was critically injured. Immediately after their birth the four babies—two boys and two girls—were taken to the parish church and baptised. Later their doctor, fearing for their health, ordered their removal to St. Justine's Hospital. It was on their way there that the fatal a. cident happened.—R.I.P.

IHE RECORD
An Open Letter to the Rev. G. Tulloch For the benefit of those of oux readers who were unable to obtain a copy of our last issue, we have reprinted the leading article below,
The letter of the Rev. G. Tulloch on Catholic Educational Claims, which appeared in the "West Australian" last week, must have been as humiliating to the informed members of his own denomination as it was incredible to the Catholic community. Had such a statement come from a young, newly ordained minister stationed in some out-back parish, one might in charity have glossed it over as the hyper-zealous outpouring of a young man, unacquainted with the elements of the dispute, and isolated from sources of reference; but that the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in this State should have made blunders so elementary and adopted an attitude so ingenuous is fairly breath-taking. It causes the Catholic, who is constantly assured that the ugly head of sectarianism is never raised in this State, but that all denominations live together on a basis of broad and brotherly tolerance, to hesitate and even to doubt. To come to the case in the order of its illogical sequence, Rev. Tulloch refers to the propaganda of the Catholic Church as .designed "to demand subsidies from all the State Governments towards the support of the Roman Catholic schools." If the 4ev. Tulloch really believes that he has accurately stated the Catholic claims in that sentence, there is no need of controversy. We can only ask the Presbyterian Moderator to acquaint himself with the basic facts of the issue. Since he has consulted the Parliamentary-files of 1895, it is somewhat difficult to believe his letter was prompted by ignorance. The alternative— misrepresentation—is an ugly one and will be retained only because there appears to be no other interpretation and because of another set of historical facts to which he can refer in the legal files of Victoria of the year 1922. Catholics ask no favour or grant or subsidy from the State Governments. They simply demand that the State cease from subsidising State schools at the expense of Catholic taxpayers, while Catholics are conscientiously compelled to erect, staff, and maintain separate schools in order that their children may not grow up Godless. If ttie Rev. Tulloch was part. ly motivated by the desire to precipitate Catholics into an ill-considered statement of their claims, he has failed. The Catholic case would occupy a good deal of space, but it is simply stated above and will compel the impartial reader because it 15 elementary justice. There is hut one point more, worthy of attcntion— the historical aspect—wherein the Presbyterian Moderator presents an array of "incontrovertible facts." Why he did not consider it relevant to add that the Joint Committee, which investigated the terms and conditions on which it would be equitable to abolish the Assisted School System, were instructed to do so, "havirg regard to the vested interests which have been legally created." is rather puz7i;ng. Moreover, why the Rev. Tulloch should have been it pains to illustrate that Bishop Gibney gratefully accepted an equitable settlement because he decided "not to murmur about the amount" when the minutes of the evidence of 1895 are replete ,vith the Bishop's dissatisfaction, is very intriguing. Bishop Gibney was faced with a Parliamentary Committee hich had already decided to abolish the Assisted School System. 'Fre only reason he had to give evidence was in order to arrive at -.wile compensation for the loss he vuld i,tTer. Nothing he have done or said would have presei \red the Catholic schools. :1,ler duress and with no alternative he accented the- pitiable m orsel of £15.000. Actually, before the Commission, he estimated he vested interests of the Catholic Educational Organisation at ..,)14- Ils. Old. When askcd by th Cl,airman if he would he a•t.-(1 to sell and hand over the whale of the Catholic salmis at • • :,.- , • ' ticin. Bishop Gibney replied: "I certainly should not hand t hen over to anOne at that valuation. I have put a valuation them which is very moderate, simply to show what we have ,Ione for the cause of education encouraged by tile Government." A gain he stated. "If von are going to cut us off, then it is stated we . will get a liberal offer from the Government, but the most generous offer would not pay the Catholic body. It would not pay !hem to accept £100.000." In reply to another question, the Bishop "I estimate that it would- not pay us to surrender our ui e under :€100.000." If it was left to me to say whether I would ,tirrender. I would say 'No."' In the light of these "incontrovertible 'acts," it should be plain to the Rev. Tulloch that the matter was far from "settled for all time" in the mind of Bishop Gibney and is even further from settlement to-day. How can the Rev. 'Tulloch be sincere in pretending that £15,000 was any sort of compensation for the work accomplished by Catholic education between 1871 and 1895? Much less for the tremendously increased organisation and expense of these subsequent 42 years? This is rather like outstripping the simplicity of the dove which the Gospels demand. How a Government at any given historical moment can legislate for all eternity is vet another poser. Meantime the Rey. TuIloch need not bewail the prayers of our children. Rather it is the Catholic Church in Australia that, like Rachel in the Scriptures, has cause to bewail educational justice because it is not. * * • At that historical inquiry of 1895, Monsignor Bourke was asked the very question which Catholics are asking to-dav: "Has it (Parliament) the right (to suspend aid to denominational education) ?" The Monsignor's reply is ours: "There is no right to do wrong."

St. Patrick's Day CELEBRATION BY IRISH NATIONAL FORESTERS. In keeping with the constitution of the Society, the Irish National Foresters celebrated St. Patrick's Day with a social and dance in the Fremantle Town Hall on the evening of March 17. The programme included old,tinie dancing to the strains of Irish airs by a specially engaged orchestra; Irish songs by the ever-popular Mr. Will Ginivan, who year in and year out has endeared himself to Irish audiences by his feeling and capable rendering of national songs; and Master Rex Doyle, a juvenile artist, whose vocal powers have been broadcast on different occasions and have received favourable comment. The winner of the title of champion Irish national step dancer of West Australia last year (Miss Lorna Jenkins) had to defend the title against seven challengers. The judged awarded the title to Miss Lorna Burke by a narrow margin points. An eight-hand Irish reel championship was also conducted, for which five sets entered. The following set won the champiooship: Misses S. Brown, L. Davies, T. Gharles, V. Kift, E. Spence, V. Gower, B. Hicks, and J, Cooling.

The winner of title of Champion Irish National Step Dancer of WA. receives a suitably inscribed cup each year and a special championship collar follows the title. Each member of the winning set of eight-hand reel championship receives a suitably inscribed cup. The High Chief Ranger of the I.N.F. of W,A. (Mr. M. Kinsella) presented the trophies won that night and those won at the eight periodical Irish step dancing competitions held by the soeiety during the year 1936-37, under standard regulations and conditions. The H.C.R. spoke on the day celebrated and said it was fitting that the Irish race at home and abroad should celebrate the feast day of that great Saint who planted the torch of Christianity in the green Isle of Erin, where, come weal or woe, it continued to burn brightly, urging on the sons and daughters of that land to carry the
1
same centuries' old Gospel to the mission fields of the world, Politically, the President of the Irish Free State, Mr. De Valera, appeared to have the support of the majority of the people of Ireland and could be relied upon to achieve the best for the most of Ireland's inhabita.tts and in keeping with the highest Christian ideals. He congratulated the teachers and dancers on the improved standard of Irish step dancing displayed that evening and at the competitions held by the society throughout the year. He said the periodical competitions would be continued in the year ending oa St. Patrick's Day, 1938. In all forty suitably inscribed cups and twenty-three medals were presented to dancers and a teacher's cup was won by Miss Peggy Esler, whose pupils gained the highest points for the year.

Palm Sunday Festival of Italians at Harvey A special Mass was arranged for Italians in Uarvey at 10.30, for they had selected that day as a day of reunion to be celebrated by attending Mass and Benediction. The Italian consul, Sig. N. Constantino, arrived very early and was in time to greet many hundreds of his countrymen as they arrived by cars and trucks from many parts of the near South-West, By ten o'clock the arrivals numbered three hundred, and by ten-thirty the crowd was too big to find even standing room in the church. Palms were blessed and distributed before Mass. These palms had been brought in on Saturday by Mr. D. Racco and Mr. D'Agostino. The artistic palms decorating the altar were prepared and arranged by Mr. Cocciolo, of Hamel. The sermon was a homily on the Gospel in Italian. After Mass a group photograph was taken, and then all proceeded to the public hall, where lunch was prepared, under the supervision of Mrs. Kinsella and Mrs. L. Boylen. Fifty -children went into the small hall W hile the adults found their way to nine large and decorated tables in the main hall. As the Consul entered the Italian royal march' was *played by the band under Mr. Nlosuto. Grace was said by the parish priest, and during courses national and romantic airs were contributed by the band. The members of the band found it very difficult to take any lunch, such was the demand. But when Mr. Basile. of Bunbury, began his magnificent singing with "Santa Lucia," dinner for the band was finished for they had to accompany him through repeated encores, though to tell the truth they seemed to enjoy it. Mr. Basile rendered many old favourites, among them "Finiculi Finicula," "Ave Maria," and -0 Sole Mho." Mr Basile is a sin.ger with operatic experience, and combines a beautiful voice with finisb. ud technique. In some of his numtwrs he succeeded in getting his audience to join in the retrain. The official Italian anthem, -Giovenezza," with its stirring melody. was sung by all present, led by Mr. Cateli, of Perth. Four speeches were given at table. 1he chairman, G. Vozzo, thanked all those who had assisted to make the festival a success, and then the Consul gave an address in which he appealed to Italians to be loyal Australian citiLens, but not to forget the natural ties of fatherland. Ile concluded with some instructions regarding the immigration regulations. Mr. D. Fresina, of Benger, speaking as one of the oldest settlers of the district, expressed thanks to Rev. Father Ryan. and on behalf of all, made a pronouncement of loyalty to the Catholic faith. Father Ryan was greeted on rising by rounds of applause. He said that Italians too o ften fail in their religious duties, hut that on this day he could not complain, for at least to-day they had been to church. He said that nevertheless he appreciated the Italian character and he hoped that in time they would demonstrate their faith more regularly. A t '2.30 the church was again crowded f, r Benediction. Father Russell, of Pinjarra, officiated, assisted by Father Ryan. Gounod's "Ave Maria" w as sung by Mr. Basile, and all joined in the hymn "Noi Vogliam Die." Coffee and cakes were served in the hall before the trucks set off for farms nd mill towns.

St. Patrick's, Fremantle
Moora
The stranger, visiting St. Patrick's, Fremantle, for the first time, and that ‘isit synchronising with the ceremonies Holy Week, must have had his attention arrested by a Catholicity worthy of the early Christians, in the crowds that thronged the sacred edifice during these memorable days. The tragedy of Calvary and the picture of desolation in which it is enshrined, would seem to be mirrored here in all their grand intensity, Recalled from so sad reveries by the tread of marching feet, one saw that these men, for the most part in the glow of youthful manhood, were members of the Holy Name Society. I ' hey were assembling in Guild formation to begin their long and lonely vigil before Our Lord in the Blessed sacrament throughout Holy Thursday night ,and far into the coming day, \dien God's hour for them had struck. The Children of Mary and also the St. \ incent de Paul Society kept vigil before the Altar of Repose. Good Friday, saddest of all days in the Christian calendar, was commemorated in St. Patrick's by the celebration of the Mass of the Presanctifled, celebrated by Rev. Father Ryan, 0.M.I. The afternoon devotions e vinced a wondrous demonstration of Faith. On Good Friday evening the pulpit at St. Patrick's was occupied by Rev. Father Moore, 0-M.I. Father Moore, taking as his opening text those words of St. John, "There stood by the Cross of Jesus , His Mother," showed that in virtue of the Hypostatic Union of the Divine Word with a human nature, Jesus Christ, the God Man, and Mary, His Mother, were very closely connected. The tragic fall of the human race was brought about by an act of self-gratification on the part of Adam and Eve; the Redemption of the human race was to be purchased by Jesus, the New Adam, and Mary. the New Eve, but only at. the cost of fearful suffering. Jesus, by His agony and death, and Mary by her dolorous won for fallen men that sanctifying grace which was lost; Christ was the Redeemer, His Mother was the co-Redemptress; the fruit from the tree of paradise brought sin and death, the fruit of Mary's generous womb on the Tree of the Cross brought grace and life eternal to men. In the designs of Almighty God Mary was to play an important part in the s cheme of Redemption. ,Consequently Mary is our Mother in the supernatural order by meriting for us grace which is the supernatural life of our souls. Even in the throes of His death agony Jesus was thinking of those things when He said to Mary, "Woman, behold thy Son," and to St. John, who, according to tradition stood for all the faithful, "Son behold thy mother." By the grace of God Jesus is our Brother, by that same grace Mary is our heavenly Mother, and it was with many a pang of suffering and in a fever of deep affliction that She brought us forth to the light of faith. The preacher then, by a spirited appeal to his people, exhorted them to avoid mortal sin, which had plunged the steely sword' of sorrow up to its very hilt in the Sacred Heart of God and the Immaculate Heart of The Mother Mary.

A goodly number displaying their green came to Mass that morning to - thank God for the favours granted to St. Patrick; to thank St. Patrick for the strong Faith implanted in the children of Erin, and to recognise the great share which his spiritual children had in planting the Faith in Australia.

PERSONAL. Mr. and Mrs. Snoggins, accompanied by their daughter, Mary, left by the Empire Crown on Thursday last en route to London for the Coronation ceremonies. Before leaving Mr, Marrnaduke Snoggins, on behalf of the Snoggins family, presented his daughter's appendix to the Ionian laboratory. Miss Bernadette Somebody will, in company with her sister, Miss Otherwise Somebody, leave next week for a pleasure and business trip to Hollywood, Paris and Ireland. They expect to be back in the Corner before the sealing of the 1937 Lemonade Bottle next December, Master Sandy McDougall has been appointed to act as Private Secretary to Aunt Bessy, and the many admirers of this gallant young gentleman will rejoice to hear that he has at last found a position that is likely to keep his brain from getting rusty. AiCKNOWLEDGMENTS. To the many donors of Used Stamps w hose contributions have been sent in anonympusly, and to Mrs. Barrett, of Busselton, for her fine collection. Thanks are also due to several benefactors for Easter offerings, and special acknowledgment to Puck for a pill box of 'MacRobertson's gold and silver coin, which, evidently, she was too shy to put on the collection plate on Good Friday. WHO SAID EASTER EGGS? Aunt Bessy, Sandy, 'fiddles, Wet Bkinket and Co. They wish to express their most appreciative thanks to all the nieces and nephews of the Sacred Heart School, Highgate, for the ge*Aerous donation of these enjoyable novelties, and though they have been able to dodge the doctor so far, as we go to press A.B. is feeling as if she st ould have stopped eating after t he tdrith egg went down.

Dear Ben Gunn,---There are several Ben Gunns in this world, but it is the first time I have had the pleasure of meeting the real live one from Treasure Island, and I am rather happy to rind that your remembrance of your days at the Narrogin school dates to the year Dr. McMahon changed my name to its present status (ahem!).

HOLY COMMUNION. A Marvel of Divine Grace. It is impossible for anyone to think seriously of what Holy Communion really is without feeling, if I may so express myself, bewildered, overwhelmed and almost confounded by the undreamed of and wholly unparalleled depths of divine condescension it supposes. It is so profound and unfathomable a mystery, and indicates a charity so measureless and infinite, that one feels alms)st as though one dared not think of it lest the! thought should crush and paralyse one's heart and senses.— Vaughan.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK. Sunday: There was never a time when the world was able to offer its votaries a greater variety of amusements, pleasures, and means ui enjoyment, and there never was a time when there were more unhappy and aching hearts than at present. Monday: The glory of Jesus . . . that is my- whole ambition, my own 1 abandon to Him; and, ii He seem to forget me, He is at liberty to do so, since I am mine no inure, but His. He will aot quickly tire of making me wait, than 1, of waiting!—St. Therese of Lisieux. Tuesday: From the absolute necessity of prayer is derived the moral necessity of meditatioa; fur when we do not meditate we are constantly distracted , we know neither our spiritual needs nor the dangers to our salvation which we incur, nor the means of which we should make use to overcome temptation, nor even this very necessity of prayer.— St. Alphonsus Ligouri. Wednesday : Meditation is the key to a storehouse; without which we should be clad only in intellectual rags and tatters, the cast-off clothes of others. and often shoddy froni the beginning. Meditation is the mystic vision that gives us a glimpse of the unreyealed beauties of Eternal Truth. Meditation is the glass that gives our eyes the power to see and to see further. What the scientist is without his microscope is the Christian without the practice of meditation. Thursday: Nothing is so necessary for all as mental prayer. preceding, accompanying, and following all our actions.—St. Charles Borromeo. Friday: Meditation is simple in its elements—thought aad prayer. It is not merely speculative but extremely practical.— Very Rev. E. R. Dyer, S.S. Saturday: We may question with wand of science. Explain, decide, and discuss. But only in meditation. The Mystery (God) speaks to

THE LATE MARSHAL FOCH.

Holy Shroud: Evidence of Authenticity
ROOSEVELT'S STAND FOR OWNERSHIP.
Paris Professor Publishes Results of Tests at The Sorbonne.
Tenant Farmers a Prey to Political Parasites.
Further evidence pointing to the authenticity of the Holy Shroud is given in the March issue of the "Scientific American" by Dr. Paui Vignon, Professor of Biology at the Institut (jatholique of Paris, who is also general secretary of the Italian a 11d French Commissions of the Holy Shroud. "There is room for further rcsearch along many lines," says Ur. Vignon, but he relates how science has removed two strong arguments hitherto used to throw doubt on the authenticity of the relic. Answering the contention of many- scholars, Catholic and nonCatholic, that the figures on the Shroud are paintings dating from about the middle of the 14th. century-, Dr. Vignon says:
"With the aid of LieutenantColonel Colson, the Professor ot Physics at the Ecole Polytechnique, I was able to determine ,wat kind of vapours had acted on the cloth; humid ammonia vapours. resulting from the fermentation of urea, which is exceptionally abundant in the sweat produced by physical torture and by fever. We also des tertnined that the vapours had reacted with aloes, which were ..;pread on the cloth and sensi. t ised it to the action of the vapours." "Beyond Doubt." Dr. \ ignon, saying that "beyond doubt, the two figures on We Shroud are the imprints of a human body," then presents his reason for belief that the imprints were those of a tortured . human body, and that it was that of the Saviour. "Though the main question is believed to be settled," Dr. Vignon says, "the Shroud still presents some scientific difficulties." Among these he lists "the fact that the rendering of the face is much more perfect than that of the rest of the body ;" that many of the clots of blood had already dried on the surface of the body, and yet they were transferred to the Shroud ;" the perfection of the clots which were transferred to the. Shroud; "how the long sheet of soft linen could have been distended evenly enough to receive all those exact images of the reliquified clots ; the colour of the blood—it is a sort of dull carmine, whereas very old blood becomes brown."
"The figures on the Shroud, in tact, are not paintings at all. As already stated, they are negative images, and the idea of a negative became known only- through t he invention of photography in the 19th. century, No artist of any earlier period, therefore (certainly none of the 14th. century and, above all, none before the fi fth), could have conceived the idea of painting a negative. "Since the figures are not paintings, since they could not nave been produced by any other artificial means, it remained to investigate whether they could itave been produced by some natural process," Dr. Vignon continues. "After analysing the first photographs of the Shroud and making our experiments in the laboratory of the Sorbonne, we concluded that the figures are the direct imprints of a human body. It was obvious at once that they w ere not produced by mere contact, for contact between the pliable cloth and the irregular sin face of a human body, would have caused considerable distortion in these figures. "They could have bee!, produced only by the action of vapours given off from the surface o f a body, the action being most energetic where the reliefs of the body touched the cloth or were very close to it, less and less energetic at the concavities and the sides as the distance between the body and the cloth increased. That is why the resulting stains have such a delicate diffusion, shading off gradually till they fade away entirely. "That, too, is the reason why the fi gures are negatives, the reliefs having caused a darker stain than the cavities and the depressions.
BODY OF NUN DEAD 53 YEARS IS FOUND TO BE PERFECTLY PRESERVED.
PR ES! DENT ROOSEVELT--appears to e.mbrace the Distributist Policy of Small Ownership.
President Roosevelt • recently askd the United States Congress to con3ider measures to help tenant farmers to buy their land and to prevent small owners from inking to tenancy. The President's action follow. od a report submitted to him by a committee under the chairmanship of the Secretary for Agriculture. This report told Roosevelt that "with the rising tide of iandless and land-hungry people, rural civilisation is threatened with decadence." Less than half of American farmers owned the land they cultivate, it was added. Roosevelt's recommendations to Congress are that: Ownership Needed. Steps should be taken to make t-arm ownership possible for tenants who can only ho.pe to become owners with the assistance of liberal long-term credit and technical advice from Government experts; Small loans should be made a vailable for small farm-owners to prevent them from slipping into the tenancy class; Public funds should be used t o withdraw from cultivation "sub marginal" land no longer suitable for that purpose: Co-operation between the FedGovernment and State and local agencies to improve the farm leasing systeM.
