"We got a new treasurer— the last was a swindler." "So you sacked him?" said the visitor. "-Wal," replied the other, pointing to a tree, "No—we suspended him!" The motorist had broken his back axle and had been forced to stay the night in a remote village while a new shaft was sent foe from the nearest town. In the evening he approached the village constable. "What time does the theatre open?" he asked. "There isn't a theatre here," the policeman replied. "Well, the cinema." "There's isn't a cinema either." "Well, what on earth do you do for evening amusement?" "Well, sir," replied the policeman, "if you wait till eight o'clock you'll see them shunting the goods train,"

BY REV. DR.
R UMBLE.s King Edward Vli's. "Conversion T. P. O'C., Sydney: Some time ago you dealt with the rumoured conversion of King Edward VII. to Catholicism when death was near. I mentioned the rumour as indicating a fairly widespread opinion, but said that conclusive evidence was not available, and possibly would never be available.
if the disclosure led to a wave of public indignation, disturbance, hatred, and even persecution of Catholics. We must keep in mind, of course, that King Edward was on his death-bed. In the hypothesis that he sought reception into the Catholic Church, not then, but in the fulness of his heart and strength, he would have had no option but to abdicate, or secure the repeal of the law associating the profession of the Protestant faith with the Throne of England. But death was taking him • from that Throne, and it is possible that the circumstances would warrant a private submission to the Church, if as rumour asserts, King Edward expressed the desire to die a Catholic.
of convictions is not necessarily to deny it. Nor can a prudent estimate of consequences be interpreted as cowardly shame in one's own profession of faith. Not thought of self, but thought for others, would be the motive. I am fully aware of the force of all that you urge. And I admit that only grave reasons could justify an action which could give rise to such consequences. But it is essential to keep in mind the circumstances. 'When a man is dying and time is short, above all in the case of a King to whom privacy and solitude is scarcely granted, a priest would not exact more than essential obligations, and would give the benefit of any doubt to the dying man rather than burden him with unnecessary worries and anxieties. All that I have said, of course, is based on the hypothesis that Edward VII. did seek admission to the Catholic Church. I do not wish to assert that his conversion is more than a hypothesis. And I have dealt with your questions only as an interesting discussion of the principles governing such a case. I hope you have appreciated the exposition from this point of view.
Firstly, I must warn you against "heated" arguments ot any kind. We want light, not heat, and light is best obtained by a judicious weighing of facts, and a calm dispassionate discussion of them. Secondly, there can be no talk of any rising against a lawfully constituted Government in Spain. The very last election which made any pretence to be constitutional was vitiated by corruption, fraud and violent intimidation. And even the Leftist crowd that assumed control was unable to govern at all. The anarchists themselves revolted against this Leftist Government, taking the law into their own hands. Thus, last Novembei, the Marxist leader in Barcelona boasted, "The Government does not exist. It can do no more than sanction what is done by the masses." And what was the programme of the masses? Under instructions from Moscow they embarked on a campaign of incencliarism, assassinations, and violence against churches, clergy, and religious orders.
I admit that the visit of a Catholic priest to the dying King, and his refusal to affirm or deny the truth of the rumour might be accepted as a solid foundation for the story. It would not be a very solid foundation. But still, it would provide sonic foundation, for if the King had merely desired to Consider the Consequences! see the priest as a friend, and If the King had published the fact of his conversion, apart had made no mention of any defrom the fact that Anglicans sire to be a Catholic, the priest and non-Conformists would would have had no hesitation in have stood aghast for a day or settling the rumour by a definite two, I don't see that it would denial that he had received Edhave caused an incurable denward VII. into the Catholic ture in the English mind.

An honest attempt has been made in this book to assess the causes of the present world muddle. Published this year by Angus and Robertson, Sydney, and written by David Simpson, the book contains much valuable information which would be of interest to the student of social conditions. While we disagree with some of the author's statements, it can be said that he has hit the right note and it would be well if a few more present clay writers produced books in the same strain. The whole of the theme of the book is summed up in the last sentence, "But most of all the failure lies in the fact that the nations do not recognise Christ, to whom the Lordship of the earth belongs." Mr. Simpson makes a strong indictment of Communism,laying bare its sham, its cunning- and its futility. The godless army moves on with its warcry, "Down with religion, the poison and dope of the people." The genesis of modern atheism is traced, then comes a chapter on the influence of modern science. The destructive work of Voltaire, Marx and Engels are well described. The author show that Russian Communism is not true to label, t he Russian people having simply changed from one autocracy to another; freedom and liberty are still unknown to them. Only a few weeks ago was the right to vote granted to some of its citizens, and yet the Communists talk of democracy in Russia! George Solomon's book, "Among the Red Aristocrats," is cited. Mr. Solowhilom his that affirms mons friends and colleagues—Solomon held posts in the Soviet Embassy in Germany, Moscow and London—"made beggars of the peasants: millions were e xiled and put to forced labour in concentration camps: masses of the people were shot without trial, not only of the intelligentsia but also the peasant and working class. . . The Red leaders created the 0.G.P.I.J. with their dark dungeons, where such cruelties have been executed as would cause even Torquemada, the deluded fanatic, to grow pale. . . . Russia is only a pawn in the world-wide game." Soviet Russia is little known, The strict censorship exercised by the Soviet authorities prevents the facts Yet the Combeing made known. munists make the loudest protests in Australia about Commonwealth censorship regulations! From an independent survey in ''The Friend of Russia," dated October, 1933, these facts are quoted: "Russia has the most godless of God-hating Government of any country in the The Madrid Red Governworld." ment, which takes its orders from the Russian ambassador, is not supposed to be anti-religious —according to Communists. ."The Russian Government is the most bitterly persecuting Government in the world. Russia is the darkest of the so-called civilised countries socially, intellectually, morally, Russia radiates the and spiritually. most deadly propaganda to the rest Spies abound on of the world." every hand—every incentive is held out to the poorer people to spy and report on others. .The Bolshevist officials, who often have the power of life and death over the unfortunate workers, are most autocratic and drunk with their own power. The 0.G.P.U, was forged by the Communist party to keep it in power. It is after the type of the Tsarist secret police, only more cruel and brutal. The Children of the Soviet. With the advent of the Bolsheviks, who had (as they said) dethroned the God of Heaven, there came about a licence among the sexes—especially the younger portion—that resulted in a tremendous increase in the birth-rate.

Russia in 1932, and who writes rather sympathetically than otherwise of Lenin and his system, says in her book "The Youth of Russia To-day": Boys as well as girls belonged to the gangs. The children were indescribably dirty and wore appalling rags. . . Almost all the children who were eventually caught and cared for by the authorities were found to be suffering from some form of disease." Children could not be punished by their parents, whom they' soon began to show no respect for. Dr. E. G. Dillon, than whom there is no greater authority on this' question, in his book, "Russia To-Day and Yesterday," says: "They (these v agabond and derelict children) kept together in groups that now swelled, now dwindled, devouring ribgrass, chewing the leaves of young birch or the bark of trees, the most desperate swallowing rags, and dying in agonies, while others had recourse to expedients too gruesome to describe. These Lilliputians, like beasts of prey; swept down upon this district or that, striking terror into passers-by. They Succumbed to hunger, to hunger-typhus, to loathsome diseases, and the ground was bestrewn with their hideous corpses. In vain one searches the annals of Europe for a parallel to this ghastly phenomenon. Strangely enough many of the "youthful law-breakers" as they were euphemistically termed, were addicted to morphia, cocaine, alcohol. Little girls from eight years onward gave themselves up to sexual vice, and murder often swelled the list of their misdeeds. Cynical, shameless, with no gleam of hope except through crime, and no fear of God or man, they would seek out unprotected travellers, ask for alms, and if dissatisfied with the giver's offering would malignantly bite and infect him with their own disgusting disease. To wayfarers in deserted byways at night they gave short shrift. In such direct ways did they revenge themselves on the society that had left them to perish. The authorities affirm that over seven millions of these children passed thus, onwards into the night. Seven millions!" All the teaching and training of Russia is based upon atheism. This is essential, How can we expect its youth to be different? Should not we in -Australia take heed! The Minister for Education in the Soviet Republic is reported to have said: "We have Christianity and Christians, even the best of them are our worst enemies; they preach love of one's neighbour and pity, which are against our principles. Down with love of one's neighbour! What we want is hatred for only at this price can we conquer the universe. The anti-religious war must be carried on in Catholic and Mussulman countries, with the same means and for the same end." If you have read Fleming's "News From Tartary," You will know c f the Communist inroads in Asia. Mr. Simpson's book contains a chapter entitled "The Advance Outside the Sovi,:q,'• and in it he makes so:m2. r.ertinent remarks. Regarding U.S.A. he states that no sooner had Ro,,,,t'vet made 'a fatal step"—recngniti n of t:le Soviet Government in Noveml,ei. 1933—than the Communists of Ameri,-a entered upon an intensive propaganla, on behalf of the Soviet'- pr(,granin-,,2.

Simpson shows how the Commun;sts a ttempt to white-ant all organisations.. He quotes instances. On page 149 of the book the structure of the Soviet in Australia is shown in the form of a tree. Some of the organisations named are: Friends of the Soviet Union, Movement Against War and Fascism, W orkers' Art Club and Unemployed Workers Movement. He shows how Communists preach about peace, and vet Russia is about the best armed nation in the world—so anxious for peace! The author of "The March of the Godless- states in his summary: "Behind the world's parlous position there is some spiritual genius that belongs to no mere man, nor body of men.

'EMOTIONAL PROPAGANDA' Russia's Reaction to the Spanish Civil War An Extraordinary Widespread Campaign
vv
(By PAUL BRENNAN.)
HATEVER may have been the first reactions of world opinion to the events which took place in Spain last July—largely, I think, they were for a while unfavourable to the "Reds"—what has been a remarkable development in the meantime—probably since the capture of Badajoz by the Spanish Nationalists—is the manner in which that self-same world opinion has been gradually transformed. This is no mere accident. It is what the Communist organisation may yet call its greatest triumph. The transformation that has taken place is mainly the result of two factors: ( 1) The sharply demarcated line between "Fascism" and "antiFascism," which is now as plain as daylight, and (2) emotional propaganda. W e have seen how the Communist organisation in England is making capital of the Spanish Civil War for the sole purpose of consolidating the "United Front" there, and of which, of curse, the Communists alone will be the ultimate beneficiaries, as they so nearly were in Spain, and as they may be, at any moment, in France. The same idea evidently "took" in the U.S.S.R. as the following facts show. The writer again acknowledges a debt to "Lettres de Rome sur l'Atheisme Nloderne" for the information here given, all of which has been entirely compiled from purely Communist sources. Ideas "catch" in Russia— perhaps more than anywhere. Anyone who has read that excellent book, "Soviet Man—Now," by Helen Iswolsky, will recollect her description of the fervour of patriotic enthusiasm which the Polar expedition of the "Chetyuskin" aroused in the U.S.S.R.. in 1934. Again, Stakhanov's remarkable record in a coal mine in the Donetz, on the night of August 30, 1935, was quickly followed by similar records by othei workers in the Soviet Union; Bussiguin, in the automobile factory at Gorkoff ; Smetanin, in a shoe factory; the spinners E. and M. Vinogradov ; Krivinoss, the road -mender ; and others. Propaganda Technique. When the Five-Year-Plan was in operation various categories of picked workers were at first formed spontaneously for motives of emulation, and so as to arouse enthusiasm for increased production. Amongst these were the "Udarniki" ("shock" workers), the "Otlichniki" (picke(l f actory hands), the "Izotovsky-." I mention these incidents because there is an analogy between the manner of their initiation, and the manner in which enthuNiasm was aroused in the U.S.S.R. over the Spanish Civil Wai It was not till Angust 3. 1936. that the press of the Soviet Union
The campaign was now well cn its way—the Soviet newspapers giving more and more space to letters and resolutions of this kind—whilst to assist it they published stories of atroc:ties. I quote one instance from several which lie before me. It is taken from Pravda, which sets the tone for the newspapers: "Hardly had the Fascist butchers entered Elleja de los Carabellos, y Sos (?) when they began to shoot women with child. 'In this way we stop new revolutionaries coming into the world,' they said cynically."

October 11, Pravda announced that 26 million roubles had been c ollected. On October 27, it claimed that the sum of 47,500,000 roubles had been reached. A s November 7 was the anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution, there were the usual demonstrations in .Russia, military displays, and much Sovietic pomp. It may be of interest to r eproduce some of the slogans used in connection with the demonstrations, because many of them were directly concerned with Spain :— "Fascism is the terrorist policy of the Capitalists and landed proprietors directed against the workers and peasants. Fascism is the war of aggression. Fascism is famine, misery, ruin. Let us concentrate our forces for the struggle against Fascism." • "Working men, working women, peasants, workers of all countries, widen and consolidate the Popular Front against War and Fascism. For peace, for democratic liberties, for Socialism!" "Our fraternal greetings to the workers and peasants of 'he democratic Republic of Spain who fight heroically against Fascism. Long live the Spanish people!" "The combat of the Spanish people is the common cause of all advanced and progressive peoples. Let us support the Spanish people with our sympathy and with our help." A t the same time the executive committee of the Cominterp —the tool of the U.S.S.R.—was not silent. I give extracts from a manifesto it published: "Let the generous aid of the AN, orkers of the U.S.S.R. to the Spanish people be an example everywhere of true proletarian solidarity. . . . Working men, working women of all countries 1 follow the example of the Soviet proletariat. Give practical help to the Spanish people. Bring about the downfall of the criminal intervention of German, Italian and Portuguese Fascism in Spain by your mass action. . . . Build a wall of bronze round the Soviet Union. . . Long live Soviet power over th- whole Nvorld."
Reflections. Perhaps the Editor will permit me. in conclusion. if I have not already exhausted his patience, to record a few impressions: ( 1) The methods adopted by the Soviets are somewhat as fol- • lows: Usually an enterprise begins in some factory; it is taken up by other factories or organisations; mass meetings follow in the larger cities; the villages follow suit, and in a few days the Soviets manage to mobilise millions. (2) We must admit the force of a propaganda which had the effect of exciting such tremendous united efforts to collect food and clothing for a totally Public opinion, foreign nation. of course. in the accepted sense. does not exist in Soviet Russia. Calling of names is not supposed to hurt so much as sticks and But the old adage was stones. coined before the days of mod-. has ern propaganda. which
nothing in its arsenal more subtle or more deadly than apparently innocent labelling. (3) In publishing stories of atrocities the authors of this propaganda were well aware of its sensational value for their purpose. It was all the more effective in that it is impossible, as everyone well knows, to get denials of them printed by the Soviet press. (4) It is perfectly clear from the last quotation that these enormous efforts for penetration into the masses of the entire world have a twofold aim: "to build a wall of bronze round the Soviet Union," mid later, "the access of Soviet power over the whole world."

He added that on becoming a religious the Sisters affection for her parents would grow deeper and deeper as the years went on; her love, far be from diminishing, would spiritualised and purified, consequently a truer love than before. He also congratulated the Sister on consecrating her life to God. In renouncing the world and taking the habit of the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Apparition.

and the obligations she had taken upon herself to advance in perfection from day to day. The Reverend Father compared the year's Novitiate to a nursery, where the tender seedlings are carefully nurtured before being sent out to the gardens where they would grow to their full beauty and fruition, so the year would be spent in preparing for the life-work of caring for the little ones of Christ's flock, teaching them to know God and to love Him better. During that time she would acquire the virtues necessary for her future apostolate. He exhorted her to pray especially for her parents, for all those near and dear to her, for her Sisters in religion. that through her they might receive the graces that God had prepared for them that day, and she would help to continue the good work of her Order. The Ceremony concluded with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament and the Te Deum. The singing was rendered with sweetness and devotion by the Sisters' Choir. Rev. Fathers Kenny and Moore. together with the parents and relatives of the novice. were entertained by the Superioress and Community.

UNIVERSITY SUNDAY Newman Society Annual Communion and Breakfast The ninth annual Communion of the Newman Society was observed in the Cathedral on Sunday last at the 9 o'clock Mass. Prior to the Mass, the members of the Society and representatives of the University Senate and teaching staff robed in the Archbishop's Palace and moved in processional order through the main gateway into the Cathedral. Over 100 members of the Society attended, both graduates and unAmong the visidergraduates. tors were: The Chancellor of the University (Dr. J. S.

Taking as his text "Audite disciplinam et e.:tote sapientes," the preacher said:— Our lot is cast in strange cir.:u!ii-

Dear Brethren in Christ, keeping before our Ininds the cold reality of things about us, to-day's religious function is no mere display of ceremony; it is above all an act of faith in the existence of God—in the presence of a guiding Providence and a public recognition of the duty of adoration that we owe to God. The generality of mankind has at all times and in all places believed in a God, and has recognised the duty of adoration consequent on the fact of His existence. This fact is the very basis of our belief and all our worship, and the beauty that surrounds it is the synthesis of the vivid faith of centuries of men and women—of the cultured and the uncultured—of the lettered and the ignorant alike—in Him we live and move and have our being, and do we close our eyes to that fact we know that we are living an incomplete e xistence.

In the course of our pursuit of higher learning, we do not forget to drink at the fountains of two of the greatest cultures that the world has seen, the Roman and the Greek, but while we pay reverence to the great intellects that adorn the histories of the two great Empires, we must ever be mindful of the fact that those two Empires came to their ruin for the reason that their culture was anchored to the shifting sands of human ambition —in other words, the human

The Latest
A mere belief in God's existence was not characteristic of the lives of masters Christian great these which faith operative but on sought by every means to incorporate into daily life the principles of Christ If, then, we would give to our pursuance of culture a definite, a correct orientation, we must follow out the principles laid down by our Holy Father when he writes of Catholic Action. Catholic action is a more intense living of the Christian life. It is the conscious effort to live the life commanded by Christ, and to show by our external conduct that we really appreciate the value of our Christian True culture, then, is that religion. powerful complexus of the Divine and the Human which makes attending principally to the soul, but gives attention to the development of the ipiritual faculties of intellect and will, giving a complete man. The motto of our University is one simple in form but contains a wealth of meaning, "Seek Wisdom"--or in the words of Christ, "seek the wisdom that is from above." "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His justice, and all t hings else shall be added unto you."

Regional Missionary and Eucharistic Congress Newcastle, N.S.W., February 16-20, 1938
A countryman who had just arrived home from his first visit to London waN describing some of the things he had seen. This is how he described "It's a busy place is London, and full of big buildings. One day I came to a narrow road up hill ,and at top of hill was a great building with a dome and gold cross on top. It looked champion with the sun slantin' down on it.

The Regional Missionary and Eucharistic Congress which will be held at Newcastle from February 16th. to the 20th. next year, will be different from any other Eusharistic festival yet held in Australia. Like the Inrecently ternational Congress held at Manila, the missions will be the principal subject of prayer and study during the discussions. The purpose of the Congress will be to arouse a great missionary love of the Holy Eucharist alid to stimulate interest in Australia's part in the missions, especially in the Pacific. The various sessions will be attended by Bishops and Vicars-Apostolic from the islands of Oceania. Reports and exhibits from the mission fields will be displayed, and missionary problems discussed. All th.e solemn functions of Eucharistic Congresses will take place-evening demonstrations for men and women, Pontifical High Mass for children, general Cornmunionss, Holy Hours for clergy and laity, culminating in a Eucharistic procession through the streets of Newcastle. The Congress Badge. The Congress Badge, admirably portrays the purpose of the Congress, as expressed in its general theme: "The aim of the missions is to extend the Eucharistic Kingdom of Christ." The Tiara and Keys symbolise the -View of Christ and Visible Head of the Church; the motto, "Praedicate evangelium omni creaturae"—"Preach the gospel to every creature"—indicates the universality of the commission to teach arid rule; the Globe implies that Christ's Kingdom must be solidly established from end to end of the earth; and the Chalice and Host symbolise the Holy Euchariit—Sacrifice and Sacrament—Mass and Communion—supreme worship of the King of kings and spiritual Food of His needy subjects—the great means of consolidating Christ's K ingdom. Prayer for the Congress. 0 Jesus Christ! 0 loviiwr deemer! You died that men may live. Bless the Coi,gr-s at Newcastle, so that it may give us a greater love of souls and a burning zeal for the convetsion of those who do not know You. Bestow upon missionaries the
spirit of St. Paul, that the) may gladly "spend and be spent -diemselves" as bearers of the true Light of World." May the Eternal Father and You, His Divine Son, send your Holy Spirit to our Congress to breathe wisdom into Ps deliberations to spread and establish more firmly the Reign of the Holy Eucharist in our own land and in the lands of those who will come to us, so that many millions, now sitting in pitiful darkness, may come to know the sweetness of the Brea of Heaven. Bless, 0 Lord Jesus, our Bishops and clergy, and give them the joy of seeing You honoured in the Holy Eucharist by the multitudes who, at their call, will come from far and near to adore You. Bless also the Prelates and Apostolic men who will make difficult journeys to tell the Congress of their labours, their sorrows, and of their ever-increasing desire to carry Your work to the ends of the earth. Our Lady Help of. Christians, take our Congress under your protection. St. Francis Xavier, pray for us. St. Teresa of the Child Jesus, pray for us.

HENRI Henri Gheon, in his wboimsicality and often heart-shaking mixture of pathos and gaiety might be described as a French Catholic edition of Sir James M. Barrie. In private life "Henri Gheon" is a physician of Orsay, and by family name Henri Vangeon. His childhood was a typical product of cultivated provincial France in the latter part of the 19th. century: and his autobiography tells of his devout mother and sister, his unbelieving father. Sunday Mass at the cathedral (followed by a visit to a pastry shop), the great event of his First Communion—a "pact with joy" too soon broken!— and the school training where secular and scientific studies were pursued with enormous enthusiasm but religious instruction given with an old-fashioned formality utterly lacking in "that living magnetism which captivates the young." So the old, old story was repeated; th,! youth soon lost his Faith v.nd tried to satisfy his soul with the love of art, love of country, pleasur.-.! and the following of his medical profession.

While still in army service, the convert had begun what was to prove his life work in literature— "bringing back the saints to the modern world." And he began it by putting them into drama, by "creating a theatre of the saints." St. Cecilia was one of the first of the series, but soon the story of St. Maurice was being acted at St. Moritz in Switzerland. And the "Marvellous History of St. Bernard." later translated by Sir Barry Jackson and presented by him in London and Malvern, had first been performed at the saint's own birthplace at Menthon, France. Some others of these dramas already Englished are: 'The Comedian"—a vivid study of the early Christian actor-convert and martyr, St. Genesius— "The Marriage of St. Francis," and quite recently "St. Germaine of the Wolf Country." One of the most exquisite of . all, the story of the Athenian St. Giles, has not yet been translated There is something of Peter Pan in this boy "saint in spite of himself," continually followed about by miracles; and much of Barrie in the fantastically humorous treatment of the minor characters—even in the interpretation of the delightful little doe (for Gheon is fond of introducing symbolic but highly individualised animals into his plays!) which companions and advises Giles during his later life in the French forest.

S.B.L.C. Swimming Carnival Many Visitors Witness Keen Contest
THE SWIMMING POOL AT LESMURDIE. There was a hint of Autumn in the air on the morning of March 21, the day set aside for the annual series of natatorial contests between the three houses, embraced by St. Brigid's Ladies' College, so idealy situated in Lesmurdie Valley. It is open to doubt, however, whether the thoughts of contestants dwelt at all on the nip in the breeze—fortunately tempered by the sun—or the beauty of the environment. For were not all interests centered in the fortunes of College House, led by Joy Johnson, Tara House ( Marjorie Davies), or Kerry House (Pauline Connell)? The colours of each were everywhere in evidence, and borne proudly by followers of the resputive factions. However, almost before the last of the visitors had been ushered to their seats, and the contestants had been placed in the order of their events by the Rev. Mother and her efficient staff, without noise or fuss, Mr. Wells had the first race started, and like most of sixteen events—some of them run in divisions—the finishes were close with honours well divided. The Red and Black colours of College oHuse established an early lead, thanks mainly to the individual successes of that House Captain, but the colours of Kerry House, Blue and Gold, were steadily cverhauling the leaders. The two Blues of Tara still had a chance half way through the programme, but there was more con. sistent merit in the Kerry team, and "College" had eventually to be content with second place. Kerry deserved the clear-cut win. Visitors (and "House" supporters) were early brought to their feet, when the thre captains fought it out for supremacy in the 50 yards freestyle, open race, and again, half-way through the programme, in the 100 yards freestyle, open event. In each event,
that strong swimmer, Joy Johnson, proved victorious,with Marjorie Davies and Pauline Connell filling second and third places respectively, in both contests. The same three were again the most prominent in the neat dive, open, Pauline Connell being placed first, but there was very little difference in merit in the next half-dozen who faced the judges, Eventually Joy Johnson secured the verdict, with Pauline Connell second and Marjorie Davies, third. Other results were: Babies: B. Trindale, 1; R. Brooks, 2 ; P. Griffiths, 3. 2.5 Yards, under 10: J. Outtrim, 1; T. Farrell, 2; N. Price, 3. 25 Yards (second division): F. Preshaw, 1; B. Scott, 2; M.

PERTH, SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1937.
Dutch Treasure Trove Every schoolboy knows of the important work of the Dutch in the discovery of Australia. The entry of the Dutch into the East as explorers and merchants marked the second step in Australian exploration, shortly after the pioneers, De Quiros and Torres, had made their own valuable discoveries in the East The Dutch influence remained much longer than the Portuguese. Up to the nineteenth century the whole Continent was known as New Holland, and Dutch names along the West and South-West coast remind its of these explorers of the 17th. century. For instance, recall such Dutch names as Rottnest, Cape Leeuwin, Dirk Hartog Island, and Houtman's Abrolhos, in the West, and New Zealand, Tasmania. and the Gulf of Carpentaria in the East. Lying as it did, almost on the sea route between the Cape and Batavia, it was to be expected that Dutch ships would sooner or later sight the West Australian coast line. At first the Dutch discoveries were purely accidental. •
In this way Dirk Hartog's ship was the first Dutch vessel—of which record is extant—to touch the Western coast. He landed on the island which bears his name, in 1616. In 1622 another Dutch vessel—the Leeuvvin—explored the coast from the Cape of• that name down to King George'Sound, Albany. In 1629 6-ccurred Pelsart's famous shipwreck off the coast near Geraldton, on the coral reef known as Houtman's Abrolhos. As a result of a mutiny before the rescue party arrived, two offenders were put ashore on the mainland, and left to their own resources. They were probably the first white men to die in Australia.
The struggle for supremacy in Spain continues to determine whether or not the Faith shall survive. While on the active fighting front there is a lull before Madrid' and Bilbao, at home there is no rest in the souls of the propagandists. The Dean of Canterbury, who is leading another naive delegation to investigate religious conditions in Spain, has denounced Mola's bombing of Durango; the "Daily News" has unearthed a frightful Fascist plot in Madrid; the morning paper prints an authoritative article from the pen of Mr. Vernon Bartlett, who sees the defeat of the Valencia Government as "a tragedy graver than any other which has been suffered by democracy since the end of the war ;" the vicar of St. Clement's, Barnsbury, broadcasting from the Communist radio station, condemned the rebels' "savage bombing" of women and children, and declared that more churches would be open "but for the fact that the Church has taken the side of the rebels." At.another time all these remarks would be merely trivial and silly. But now they are part and parcel of the huge newspaper conspiracy against the Church. Yet nearer home is the Spanish Relief Committee recently established in Perth. While assurance is given that "assistance will be strictly confined to articles which are recognised by international law as not being contraband of war," no guarantee is available that monies collected will be impartially devoted to the relief of refugees of both sides. Mrs. Nettie Palmer, the head of the Melbourne Committee, was recently approached by a representative Melbourne Catholic for a guarantee in writing to this effect. The guarantee was not given. Until the local committee is prepared to make its position clear and public, it will be suspect to the Catholic community and it will be the clear duty of the Catholic press to warn Catholics against cointributing to the appeal.
Graduation Day Reflections The grauation ceremony at the University on Friday opens some interesting speculation for Catholics. Despite the handicap of double taxation which Catholics suffer in the matter of education, they secured this year almost 22 per cent, of the degrees conferred. Of the twenty-eight Catholic graduates, no fewer than five were nuns, one of these receiving a Master's degree in Arts for a highly commended thesis on Cardinal Newman. This indicates that both the teachers and the ex-students of our Catholic schools are impressed with the advantages of higher scholarship and are equal to any in the academic sphere. It is also mteresting to note that the preponderating number of Catholic graduates had read an Arts course, indicating perhaps an attachment to the traditional liberal education favoured by the Church. Such reAilts augur well for increasing success in our Catholiz sch9o1s, in as much as the educational qualifications of the religious teachers will bear the severest scrutiny. •* The Catholic present at the Graduation ceremony was perhaps the one person in that whole assembly who could have uttered a fervent Amen to the Bidding Prayer wherein it was asked of God, that in the University and all colleges and schools "true religion and sound learning may flourish and abound." This alone is the reason why Catholics maintain their own schools, for in the State schools and in the University itself "true religion" And that is why there is such neither flourishes nor abounds. urgent need of a confederation of Catholic University students in such a body as the Newman Society, where they may discuss the difficulties and problems which their enforced atmosphere of secuThe presence of such a considerable proportion larism entails. of Catholic students at a secular University also gives irresistible force to the contention that the time is ripe for a Catholic College within the University, if a great and generous benefactor could be found to establish and endow it. .1.4.--.114.-41100.11NP.A.4.--4•41,--41140-49.0-41
Between that date and the arrival of Vlaming, in 1696, who discovered Rottnest and the mouth of the Swan River, many shipwrecks of Dutch vessels are recorded. One is of particular interest, in view of the recent departure of a search party from Perth to find the lost treasure which the doomed ship contained. The wreck referred to is that of the Gilt Dragon, in 1656, a Dutch bullion ship, carrying, amongst other valuables, a large supply of Dutch coins. The wreck occurred somewhat south of Dongarra, at a point described by seven survivors who afterwards reached Batavia. Their account stated that the treasure was saved by 69 of the crew, who had managed to get ashore in safety. Various attempts were made to rescue these survivors and their treasure, but without avail.
The castaways evidently buried their treasure before they perished. Point is given to this theory by the fact that quite recently a skeleton was found in this neighbourhood—beside which Another most inwere Dutch coins, dating from 1618 to 1648. teresting point is that related by the late Mr. Burt, the instigator of recent search parties. Nearly sixty years ago, while surveying this part of the coast, he came across a clearing in the thicket marked off by a circle of large stones, which is now considered a valuable clue to the buried treasure. Strangely enough, although cne or two have since reported this strange phenomenon, three search parties have already failed to locate the spot. It may be that the party now on its way may have better luck, and thus another most interestinglink with the early 1)u tch explorers may be established.

"Every major question in history," he said, "is a religious question." He laid down four postulates. "Truth lies in proportion—a thing which men almost always forget when they write history. "Religion is the main determining element in any country— it has more effect in moulding life than nationalism or a common language. "Evidence in history is multiform, and subject to judgment— it includes not only documents, but tradition, archaeology, dead facts and, above all, common sense. "A statement of truth in history is not advocacy ,it is a statement of truth." He said that "faith" in the seventeenth century was the major part of a man's life, that it began to decline in the eighteenth century and in the nineteenth century appeared to be vanishing. -In the twentieth century," he said, "it began to crash, although religion is still going pretty strong in Poland, Ireland and Italy." Mr. Belloc is giving a series of 24 lectures at the Fordham University Graduate School on current social, economic and Political problems. CARDINAL LEAVES flO IN WILL. "I Gave All As I Received It."

SANDY McDOUGALL. Victoria Park, Dear Sandy,—It was with intense gladness that I read in last Sunday's "Record" of your appointment to the onerous position of private secretary to Aunt Bessy. I have always loved the Children's Page, but in common with others have felt shy about writing to someone whom we understand is a dear old lady, as there is more chance of being understood by a modern youth like you, especially where one needs sound advic as I now do. Do you consider it sinful for a young lady interested in romance to place a little rouge and powder on her face at judicious points of vantage? would be most thankful for your opinion on this problem. SCRUPLE. Dear Scruple,—There is nothing sinful about placing rouge and powder at judicious points of vantage, especially as a help to a shiny nose and pallid cheek, but you may be pleased to know that all engagements notices must be signed by three parties be. for being accepted for insertion in the "Corner"—his future mother-in-law's being the third.

When Jesus left the mansion of Jairus it was in order to undertake a new mission through Galilee. It was the third (and it was to be the last) of those journeyings of His during which He preached in every little hamlet of that land. First of all, this time, He wended His way up to His old home in Nazareth, and on the Sabbath began to preach in the synagogue; but He met with as cold a reception as on a former occasion a year ago; the Nazarenes were as hard and dull to the words of theii FellowTownsman as they were before.

all the rays of blessedness diverge. All our actions are good only as they have reference to Him: the streams must revert back to their fountain, the rays must converge again to their centre. Saturday: If we were to die and be able by a special dispensation to come back again to life, we would spend our whole effort and all that we possess to assist in the great work of soul-saving, because then we should know the true values of things—we should see things as Christ sees them.
These lines are from the great "Ballad of the White Horse." But though I lie on the floor of the world, With the seven sins for rods, I would rather fall with Adam Than rise with all your gods. Sirs, I am but a nameless man, A rhymester without home, Yet since I come of the Wessex clay And carry the cross of Rome, I will even answer the mighty earl That asked of Wessex men Why they be meek and monkish folk, And bow to the White Lord's broken yoke; What sign have we save blood and smoke? Here is my answer then. That on you is fallen the shadow. And not upon the Name; That though we scatter and though we fly. And you hang over us like the Sky, You are more tired of victory That we are tired of shame.

The Wealth of the Spanish Jesuits In the welter of falsehoods floating about in the world's Press in relation to the Spanish War, one is never far from the surface, and keeps always emerging—that regarding the fabulous wealth of the Spanish Church. It is easily maintained, for the doubter has merely to be told— circumspice ! The cathedrals are there, filled with priceless works of art: the multitudinous shrines have had lavished on their adornment the treasures of pious generations, the prelates wear costly vestments and control great establishments, and so forth. But the truth, which is not so apparent, is simply this—all Spanish Church property was confiscated a hundred years ago and never All church-buildings, restored. rectories, convents, are now Government property, of which the Church is allowed the use. All ecclesiastical artistic treasures belong to the Government. and the chief churches are "national monuments." Out of these large r evenues the State allows the clergy very exiguous stipends: the Religious have their dowries. but they must be invested in Government bonds. The answer is complete and crushing, but the story-teller has another string t o his long-bow, which we regret to find vibrating loudly in "Headway," the organ of the League of Nations Union. Here it is particularly out of place, for t he League of Nations Union .-eeks and obtains the support of Catholics and actually has the . \rchbishop of Westminster .amongst its Vice-Presidents. In its January issue this periodical makes its own a statement, taken apparently from a Red writer whose book is under review, to the effect that: "The Procurator of the Society of Jesus sits on 36 Boards of Directors of eletcrical companies, transport companies, banks and mines." The intrinsic unlikelihood of such a mani•
