The London " Daily Telegraph." quoted in the " West" (11/6/'37), says. "The R ussian note confirms the belief that the Soviet is determined to oppose to its utmost an agreement between the four Powers." And there are further signs that the more responsible sections of the British Press are beginning to take a more realistic view .of the situation. The very latest Red move to discord is the accusation womote • lhat German and Italians sub-

Marines are attacking Spanish merchant vessils. and the threat t o "free Spanish waters of submarines." But it is reasonable to hope that wise counsels will prevail in the face of even the w orst provocation. Blood-letting still goes on in Moscow. The latest victims of Stalin's madness are nine generals who have served the Red army faithfully for 20 years. And no doubt Comrade Voroshilov, Commissar for Defence, and the mo.:t powerful man (barring. Stalin) in the U.S.S.R., is shaking in his shoes. The idea seems to be to deprive him of his faithful henchmen and surround him with tools of Stalin ( Budenny P m] Bluecher are such). It is significant that Voroshiloy was not a member of the court-martial which tried the generals. But he is too popular to be stricken down at one blow. It is likely that he will gradually fall from grace; and, when his 7eputation has faded, then the final blow will fall. But these suppositions may be wrong The atmosphere of intrigue and panic which surrounds the Dictator is shrouded in mystery. In this latest holocaust, which surely will nauseate even the blindest apologist for the U.S.S.R.. a new feature can be seen. The wives otsome of the victims were compelled to testify against them, under threat of the law which treats the near relatives of convicted men as hostages. And it is with such barbarian monstei.s as these that our highbrow intellectuals advocate the establishment of cultural relations! France, as usual, is on the v erge of a crisis. M.

Now in our Church there are images of Jesus, Our Lady, and picture likenesses of the Saints, all of whom we are taught are in heaven. That's not a bad effort, except the reference to the 'picture likenesses" of the Saints. However, and seriously, it is true that, in a Catholic Church it is usual to have statues of Christ. and of Marv. and of various Saints. If this is right, are we not breaking God's commandment, and debarring ourselves from entering the Kingdom of Heaven? To make statues or images representative of those in heaven is not breaking the Commandment. If it were, how would you account for the fact that God D.T.G., Willoughby. N.S.W.

The _Fittest Product of thv

WINES and BRANDY Protestant clergymen complain of empty churches, they have not far to go for the cause. They and their people have accepted a secular system of education, and the product is an irreligious generation with merely a secular outlook on life. Their very complaints justify the wisdom of Catholics in keeping their Catholic schools, even though it has been at the cost of such great selfsacrifice. And the more they see that Catholics were justified. the less they should oppose the Catholic demand that the burden should be removed from them. But surely Sunday school, the weekly visit to the State school by the clergyman, and the religious training given by parents at home is enough. I f so, why have you to regret the widespread driftage from religion amongst non•Catholics? As a matter of fact, religious indifference has grown to such an extent that most non-Catholic parents have no religious practices themselves, and cannot be bothered either to send their children to Sunday school or to give them any religious instruction at home. And the weekly visit of a clergyman to the State schools is much. more often omitted than fulfilled. The only sane system for people ‘,.-ho do believe in religion is to have schools in which the subiect of religion and its practice are inculcated side by side with other subjects, and daily as a rezular feature of the curriculum. And Catholics should not have their share of the taxes confiscated and spent upon other people's children merely because they have seen the wisdom of this. •

Right of nsurrection "Seeker of Truth," Manly: Should people be called rebels who rise against an unjust Government? All would depend upon the degree of the injustice. Armed aggression by any section of citizens against a duly established Government for small grievances would be sinful rebellion. But where there is a just cause for insurrection both- in the nature of the grievance and all attendant circumstances, citizens are not guilty rebels if they rise in an insurrection. 'Such insurrection, of course, must be an urgent necessity and a last resource for the good of the country. The following conditions are required before the extreme measure of insurrection may lawfully he adopted: (1) The Government ostensibly in power is qnoe unable to govern, or goes to the other extreme of tyranny pursuing a selfish object to the manifest detriment of its subjects. (2) All legal and pacific means of securing redress must first have been tried without success. (3) The judgment of the Government's violation of duty must not he a

What does the word "Catholic" mean? It means "universal." Applied to the Church it means one and the same Church found everywhere in the world, teaching men of all nations exactly the same religion. and uniting them under one and the same religious authority. What does the word "Rome" mean? It is the name of the capital city of Italy. But its religious significance lies in the fact that t he Pope, who is the supreme head on earth of the Catholic Church, happens to be the Bishop of that city. Then isn't your Church the Roman Catholic Church? Such a description of the Catholic Church is as inappropriate as would be the description of the British Empire as the "London British Empire," because the K ing lives in London. Non-Catholics sometimes use the term "Roman Catholic" under the impression that there are other kinds of Catholics. But that is an error. All genuine Catholics belong to the one universal Church whose supreme Bishop happens to be the Bishop of Rome.

John When ferred before him to the Democratic nomination in 1924. he proved himself a big enough man loyally to accept the party's de-

He polled more heavily than any Democratic candidate had ever done, but, unfortunately his Catholicitm lost him the. support of a number of the traditionally Democratic southern States and he was hopelessly defeated by Mr. Hoover in the electoral college. By 1932, Mr. Hoover was entirely discredited, and there was little doubt that the Democratic candidate would be elected. Mr. Smith undoubtedly thought that he had the 1..:• - "t to Lite nomination. Instead it was given ,to Mr. Roosevelt, his junior, who had himself prDposed Mr. Smith four years before and who, at Mr. Smith's own request, had succeeded him as Governor of New York. In the election of 1928, Mr. Roosevelt had won the Governorship of New York on the Democratic . ticket, while Mr. Smith failed to carry the State in the Presidential election, and Mr. Smith is said never to have recovered from the mortification of this. However that may be. it is certain that he has never recovered from the mortification of something or other, and his contributions to American thought during the last four years have not been effective.

that to answer for at the Dav of Judgment. He is not a philosopher nor a student, nor does he pretend to be. He is quite frankly a political organiser, neither more nor less, but at the same time incomparably the most astute political organiser in America to-day. How deep is his understanding of the Rooseveltian policies it would be hard to say, but five years- ago he came deliberately, and ecertainly sincerely. to the conclusion that the salvation of the country demanded the placing of Mr. Roosevelt in the White House. He determined to make the contribution that he was capable of making towards the achievement of that salvation .and he has very certainly made it. He has probably gone about as far as he is likely to go, or capable of going. As he himself would probably be the first to admit, he is not quite big enough guns to hold high executive position himself. Perhaps the most interesting Catholic figure in American life to-day is that of Governor Murphy, of Michigan. The Mayor of Detroit, Mr. Murphy, was fetched out of municipal politics by personal Presidential request four years ago and. sent off by Mr. Roosevelt to be High Cornmisioner of the Philippines dur.ing the critical period of the inauguration of the movement towars independence. His record there was an outstanding one.

ALFRED SMITH, who has rendered services both to America ;till to Catholicism in the past,

Mr. Farley is a much abused man, but he is a man who is very little discomposed by abuse. If we consider the amount of trouble to which very many people have put themselves in order to discover matter to his discredit, and the very trivial amount that they have discovered, it is hard not to conclude that he must be a man not merely normally but quite abnormally upright. A big, genial, hail-tellow-well-met Irishman, he would not himself deny that he has in his time called many people by their Christian names and greeted them as oldest friends, when he had no notion what were their surnames nor when he had met them before.

Not only were his politics widely successful, but he also, as the present writer has heard many times, very deeply impressed both Amercans and Philippinos by the very evident sincerity of his Catholic life and by his frankly confessed derivation of his political from his religious principles. Last year, at the time of the Roosevelt election, President brought him back from the Philippines and made him run for the Governorship of Michigan. Michigan is normally a Republican State and a stiff fight was expected, but of course, like the other forty-six, it went Democratic in the strange circumstances of last Since his accession November. to office.

Jacques C}Vlaritain A MODERN SCHOLASTIC. No discussion of modern philosophy or culture can go far without mentioning the work of Jacques Maritain, whose influence on contemporary Catholic and even non-Catholic thought has been incalculable. Maritain was born in Paris in 1882, of a French Protestant family. He studied philosophy at the Sorbonne, becoming a devout follower of Henri Bergson: and in 1905 he and his wife Raissa—a Russian Jewess—became converts to the Catholicity toward which Bergson has seemed to many readers to point, but towards which they were themselves led by Leon Bloy. After studying for a while at Heidelberg, Jacques Maritain returned to France, where he was soon to be recognised as the apostle of St. Thomas Aquinas and Scholastic philosophy in our modern world. This apostolate he has carried on in his writings, as professor at the Colle_ge Stanislas and the Institut Catholique in Paris. and as visiting lecturer at the Mediaeval Institute of Toronto and in various cities of the United States. In his "Introduction to Philosophy" Maritain explains that he prefers Aristotle to Plato's "sweeping perspectives" (beloved by Augustine as by Newman) because he believes the former "definitely secured the attainment of reality by the human intellect." His next step is to show how "Aquinas baptises Aristotle," bringing about "the meeting of human wisdom and divine truth." Doubtless it was the groping uncertainty of much recent thought—its nebulous optimism and equally nebulous pessimism —which pushed the Frenchman so hungrily back upon the tremendous reality of Scholastic reasoning. Maritain on Art. "Man is essentially composite." he warns us in "Progress and Philosophy," so that "the natural tendency of the spirit towards that which is more perfect conflicts inevitably with the natural attitude of matter for whatever is new. The law of progress—that is, change for the better—and the law of mere change are everywhere intertwined in us." Monsieur Maritain would have us remember that since "beauty is essentially an object of the intelligence," man should climb upward through beauty and art. An this theory is developed in

his "Philosophy and Art," which insists that -the beauty connatural to man is that which touches the understanding with delight through the senses and their intuition." 'With piercingly mystical insight he adds: "Christianity does not make art easy. It deprives it of many facile means, it stops its progress in many directions, but in order to raise its level. It elevates art from within, brings to its knowledge a hidden beauty more delightful than light, gives it what the artist needs most, simplicity, the peace of reverent fear and love, such innocence as makes matter docile to many and fraternal." This, last passage brings to remembrance St. Francis of Assisi, claiming brotherhood not only with sup and moon, but also with beast and bird. And, indeed, next to reality the prime message of Maritain would seem to he universality. This challenge from his "Angelic Doctor" rings like a clarion: "Imagine for a moment that Catholics in the various countries realised the primordial importance of intellectual questions, of metaphysics and theology, that they discarded senseless prejudices against scholasticism, that they considered it, not as a mediaeval mummy to be examined with archaeological curiosity, but as a living armour of the mind and the indispensable equipment for the boldest enterprises of discovery; imagine that they fulfilled in practice the ardent aspirations of the Church, which is not to conquer adherents as though Catholicism w ere a human undertaking. hut to serve divine Truth everywhere in the souls of men and the universe : imagine that they transctrided internal divisions and the petty rivalries of schools which e verywhere sterilise their activity, finally that they became conscious of the necessity of a serious and sustained intellectual cooperation among Catholics of all nations."

Rev.

He said that whilst the Japanese were provocative in their militaristic activities in China, they had undoubtedly delayed, if not actually stemmed, the tide of Communism in that much coveted country. One gathered too the rather depressing inevitability of the industrialisation of China, and one wondered whether that tragedy by which some t.f our Western Lords would delay the collapse of their "sound financial system," might not be avoided by the adoption of some form of Sovietism, or small local governments co-operating for essential services in a loose Is it too much to hope federation. that a spirit of Sinn Fein might yet save. China for the Chinese? There is no doubt that members enjoyed the lecture and hope to hear more of Father Smith in the future. A vote of thanks, moved by Mr. C. 'limner, and seconded by Mr. G. Stack, was carried by acclamation. Membership. The chairman announced that new membership forms had been printed, and these set out the duties of rnembt•rs in our work of Catholic Action. Members are asked to sign these as soon as possible, in order that the secretary may know exactly the Club membership.

Requiem Mass. On Monday morning, June 14, the first anniversary of the death of G. K. Chesterton, Requiem Mass was celebrated in St. Mary's Cathedral at 8 almi Rev. Father Johnston was the c elebrant and numerous members and friends of the Club attended. Letters From Rome. We have received the latest issue of the fortnightly periodical, "Letters From Rome" on Modern Atheism. The first article is entitled "The Encyclical on Atheistic Communism." This question is answered: -Does this Encyclical mark a turning-point in the relations between Rome and Moscow? Is there any tension or relaxation between the Holy See and Soviet Russia?" Then follows a chapter headed, -Swiss Communists Go Underground." It is a most informative few pages. We have never doubted that "The Communist International has always given the greatest importance to illegal action. To gain admittance to the Communist Party one must promise to have recourse to illegal action w henever it may be felt to be necessary." The Left Book Club is the medium of Communist penetration in England. In Spring, 1936, the London bookseller, Victor Gollancz, well-known Communist, founded the 'Left Book Club" for the distribution of certain works at a low price. To become a member of the club one pays two shillings and sixpence per month; one then has the right to a book chosen by a committee composed of Mr. John Strackey (Communist Party), Mr. Harold Lasky (Labour, but of marked Communist sympathies and member of several Communistic associations) and Mr. GolIancz, the librarian, The Left Book Club is an "United Cultural towards Front," strongly inclined The most energetic Communism. leaders are Communist or sympathisers; the books chosen by the committee are of the same character.

NEW NORCIA A TOUR OF INSPECTION. (By E. M. P,) On June 7, a party, consisting of excollsegians of St. Gertrude's College, their friends and visitors from the Eastern States, set out by charabanc from St. George's Terrace for a oneday trip to New Norcia. It was a merry crowd who set off on this tour of inspection. None of them had seen New Norcia, except the ex-collegians, who were proud to be the guardians of the trip. The trip took close on three hours, but they were not tiresome hours, as the journey is made through some very pretty country. The first view of New Norcia, coming over the hill with the valley spread below, is one of the most delighted experiences of the trip. The spires of St. Gertrude's College glimpsed suddenly through the green trees, as the road winds gradually up past the quaint Mission Church, from where can be seen the beautiful architecture of St. Ildephonsus' College, is a delight to all who see it, and then on to the imposing new Hostel, especially built for visitors. On viewing New Norcia for the first time, one is impressed with the forethought and imagination that must have been one of the principle characteristics of its founder, Dom Salvado, first Bishop of New Norcia. This pretty spot, surrounded by hills, was indeed an ideal pOsition to build the Mission City of his dreams. The thoughts go bick to the story of his epic feat in founding New Norcia. How, in 1846, soon after he landed in W estern Australia from Spain, with bullock team and on foot, he forged his way with Joseph Marier Benedict Serra as companion, up from the wilderness that was Perth in those years, to the wild Moore River country, till he came to this chosen spot. They called it "New Norcia," these pioneers, after the birthplace of St. Benedict, the founder of their Order in Italy. Eventually the name became "New Norcia." Since those years from the tiny beginning, which still remains as a relic,

The

has sprung the beauty that is New Norcia to-day. Nearly one hundred years old, a place of unusual enchantment and peace, of quaint buildings, of architecture that pleases, of briliant intellect, of music that moves the heart, and paintings that astound by the makniture of the canvas and delight by the superb blending of colour; treasures are here, not those pirates demand, but priceless vestments, literary manuscripts, ancient paintings by renowned artists, so that one feels transported to another world whilst there. Genius has touched here. The gifted Bishops, Salvado, Torres, and now Catalan, have all been outstanding men. The beautiful architecture of the College is the sole work of Bishop Torres, while within, the chapels are magnificent with the paintings of the gifted Father Lesmes, whose imagination and painting genius allowed him to create works of art that will never be forgotten once seen. Dom Moreno, too, whose name is recognised not only in Australia, but in other parts of the world, for his superb musical corn. positions. One could go on; there is so much to see and hear from a visitor's point of view. "Wyning," where the precious wines are made and stored, the native Colleges for boys and girls, both spotlessly clean, the needlework beautifully executed by the native girls, and to attend Mass in the Mission Church and hear the Monastery Choir with Dom Moreno at the organ, is indeed a privilege and a pleasure. How sharp one pauses to think is the contrast of this little Spanish settlement with its quiet peacefulness and its beauty, to that of older Spain at present. How often the thoughts of the Fathers must return to their homeland and then back to the peacefulness that is New Norcia, and to their work that is being so ably conducted. We left them as we did on that day of our trip, our hearts filled with all we had seen and heard, and with thanks for their generosity in showing us all that had been accomplished at New Norcia since its f oundation.

Ireland pledges itself to guard the institution of marriage, protect the family, and ban divorce in its new Constitution, which was published on May 1, and is to be submitted for ratification at a general election. Freedom of religion is guaranteed, and the State recognises the special position of the Catholic Church as the guardian of the Faith professed by the great majority of the citizensThe directive principles of social policy in the Constitution follow the lines of those laid down in the Papal encyclicals. "In the Name of The Trinity." The preamble to the Constitution runs: "In the Name of the Most Holy Trinity, from Whom is all authority and to Whom, as our final end, all actions, both of men and States. must be referred. "We, the people of Eire, "Humbly acknowledging all our obligations to Our Divine Lord, Jesus Christ, -Who sustained our fathers through centuries of trial, "Gratefully remembering cheir heroic and unremitting struggle to regain the rightful independence of our Nation, "And seeking to promote the common good, with due seryance of Prudence, ustice, and Charity, so that the dignity and freedom of the individual may be assured, true social order attained, the unity of our country restored, and concord established with other nations, "Do hereby adopt. enact, and give to ourselves this Constitution." Eire Will Respect Religion. Article 44 reads: 1. The State acknowledges that the homage of public worship is due to Almighty God. It shall hold His Name in reverence, and shall respect and honour religion. 2. The State recognises the special position of the Holy Catholic Apostolic and Roman Church as the guard.ian of the Faith professed by the great majority of the citizens. 3. The State also recognises the Church of Ireland, the Presbyterian Church in Irelandfi the Methodist Church in Ireland, the Religious Society of Friends in Ireland, as well as the Jewish Congregations, and the other religious denominations existing in Ireland at the date of the coming; into operation of this Constitution. 2. 1. Freedom of conscience and the free profession and practice of religion are, subject to public order and morality, guaranteed to every citizen. 2. The State guarantees not to endow any .religion, and shall not impose any disabilities or make any on the discrimination ground of religious profession, belief or status. 3. Legislation providing State and for schools shall not discriminate between schools under the management of different religious denominations, nor be such as to affect prejudicially the right of any child to attend a school receiving public money without at religious instruction at that school. 4. Every religious denomination shall have the right to manage its own affairs, own, acquire, and administer property. movand immovable, and maintain institutions for religious or charitable purposes5. The property of any religious denomination or any educational institution shall not be diverted save for necessary works of public utility and on payment of compensation. Other clauses in the Constitution guarantee the rights of the family in accordance with the teachings of the Catholic Church. For instance, the State recognises the family as the natural primary and fundamental unitgroup of society, and as a moral

institution, possessing inalienable and imprescriptible rights, antecedent and superior to all positive law. The State shall endeavour to ensure that mothers shall not be obliged by economic necessity to engage in labour to the neglect of their duties in the home, because, by her life within the home, woman gives to the State a support without which the common good cannot be achieved. Further, the State pledges itself to guard with special care the institution of marriage, on w hich the family is founded, and to protect it against attack. No law shall be enacted providing for the dissolution of marriage, and no person whose marriage has been dissolved under the civil law of any other State. shall be capable of contracting in Ireland a valid marriage during the lifetime of the other party to the marriage so dissolved. The inalienable rights of the parents in all matters pertaining to the education of their children shall be respected by the State. The rights of private property are fully guaranteed, and the door is left open for the solution of our social policies in accordance with the directions contained in the Encyclical "Quadragesimo Anno."

Among Our Societies Metropolitan Social Council. A t the meeting of the Metropolitan Social Council held on Friday, June II, delegates were present from the District Board, Subiaco, Queen's Park, Highgate, St. Patrick's, Maylands, East Victoria Park, South Perth, and Victoria Park. The social which was held in Maylands on June 10 was very successful, about 95 patrons being present, and The e very branch was represented. prizes for the card competitions and a past president's collar were presented during the evening. The results of competitions to date are: Victoria Park No. 2 drew with Nedlands; East Victoria Park No. 2 beat Maylands No. 2; Maylands No. 1 beat Subiaco; East Victoria Park No. 1 beat Queen's Park. There is one alteration in the fixtures; the match between Queen's Park and St. Patrick's, at Queen's Park, should be played on June 29, instead of June 15. The Hibernian debating team opened the season well with a win by 7 points from Woolworths last week-end, and it is hoped that they will continue in winning vein. A new delegate, in Bro. Kilmartin ( East Victoria Park) was welcomed to the branch by the president during the e vening. Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Branch, Nedlands. The fortnightly meeting of the above branch was held on the 8th. inst., the usual number of members being in attendance. The president, Bro. E. C. Logan was in the chair.

This left an amount of 18s 6d to be made to fulfil our promise of £10 10s towards the church e xtension. Those members who have not assisted the branch in its efforts are appealed to to assist in the next v enture, which will be launched very shortly, so as to clear our indebtedness. Bro.

The lecturer has made a study of this difficult subject for some years and the interest of his audience was sustained from start to finish, the only pity being that most of the members did not avail themselves of the opportunity of learning more of the real truth of Communism. Those who were not present missed a real treat, and also missed a great chance of informing themselves on the facts of a subject which is much in the head lines at the The president and the present time. chaplain both expressed the thanks of the audience to Bro.

After the meeting a very excellent supper was served and the evening was completed by participation in games. A full attendance of members is earnestly requested at the meeting on Tuesday next, 22nd. inst. St. Munchin's Branch, Collie. The grand president, Sr. P. Williamson, and the grand secretary, Bro. J. Edwards, visited St. Munchin's branch on the 10th. inst, and were given a most hearty welcome by the members. The president, Bro. W. Stevens, presided over a fair attendance of members, including the chaplain, Rey. Father Downey, and Rev. Father Rispin. Unfortunately the weather was bitterly cold and this no doubt militated against a full attendance of members. The president extended a cordial welcome to the visitors, and said that he felt sure that the visit would have beneficial results so far as the branch is concerned. The members generally were very loyal to the society and although St. Munchin's had not made very great progress during the last couple of years, it was hoped that as a result of this visit there would be a marked ,forward movement. Father Downey said he was delighted to associate himself with the welcome given by the president. Unfortunately some of the best members of the branch had recently been transferred away to other places and the members now would have to strive to have the vacant places filled up. He paid a tribUte to the branch and the members for the splendid example given by them as Catholics and said that he would be always pleased to do everything possible to extend its influence. The grand president and grand secretary delivered very interesting and instructive addresses on the society, its work, and its satisfactory position, and e xhorted the members to be constant in. their adherence to the principles of their society. Mr. Warwick Carmody was elected to membership and initiated by the president. The grand prethereby it is hoped to introduce into cers, the president, Bro. J. Rees, returning thanks on behalf of himself and his fellow officers. It was decided to make a systematic canvass of t he parish for new members, and threby it is hoped to introduce into the society every eligible Catholic of the town. fter the meeting the members and visitors were regaled with dainty refreshments before a blazing fire, which was much appreciated. A loll attendance of members is desired at the meeting on Tuesday, 24th. inst. St, Joseph's Branch, Northam. At the meeting held on the 10th. inst., the national president. Bro. Tom Hynes, was extended a very cordial welcome by a meeting that was particularly well attended by both old and new members. Bro. J. W. O'Brien, P.D.P., was also present and was also given a most cordial welcome. At the previous meeting the grand secretary, Bro. J. Edwards, was present. and after having, in conjunction with Rev. Father Harrington, done considerable organising work in the town, was successful in introducing a considerable number of new members. The prospects for great improvement not only in the numerical strength of the branch, but in the enthusiasm of the members generally, are very good indeed, and with the help of Very Rev. Dean Reidy and Father Harrington, it is hoped that the branch will regain the splendid position that it was in several years ago. To achieve this, the co-operation of all the members is essential, and this has been promised by a large number A t the meeting on Thursday next, 24th. inst., nominations and elections of officers for the ensuing term will take place. and every member is earnestly requested to be present in order to insure that the very best officers available will -se. 4elected At tbis meeting also the grand secretary and perhaps other members of the district -card will be present

A very good attendance was witnessed last Thursday night, when the meeting took the form of a sports evening. Badminton and table tennis proved very popular, while others enjoyed themselves with many other novel and interesting games. Another great feature for the evening was the mystery supper, which was served, in Altogether the eventhe club room. ing was most enjoyable and another very similar to this is being arranged to take place in the near future.

This will be the last before the ball, which takes place on Monday, July 5. Club Jottings. The Club committee have the arrangements for the parish ball well in hand, and judging by the way tickets are selling, it should be a great success. Four new members, in Messrs. G. Plater, L, Graham, J. McGrade and C. Guilfoyle, were welcomed by the president at last Monday's meeting. The Club is open to any Catholic young man, and offers an excellent opportunity to associate not only with those of his own faith, but to take part in the many activities which the Club's members are interested in. Winter games, such as table tennis, quoits. boxing, etc., are now available for use at the Club on meeting nights, and it is hoped to arrange matches with other clubs.

A Plea for Plausible Lies Apparently Catholics can do nothing to restore the love ot truth or even the use of reason in the secular press. Every day some news item or another serves but to give more point to the contention that Capitalism and Communism are twin philosophies of life and almost identical twins at that. 'Without this postulate it is almost impossible to explain the alliance beween the Capitalist Press and the Communist propaganda. To criticise the evening press is worse than futile,. It has achieved an almost incredible position of puerility. Its most monstrous lies are excusable, because they lack the malice which is the mark of responsibil:ty. Yet morning and evening it is the same press—the same ownership and the same lies. Only in the evening it is a la moron and in the morning a la respectable conservatism. To instance the r ews of the past week: At this juncture it is becoming clear that the Spanish War is an issue between Bolshevism and a Nationalist counter-revolution. Most of the worth-while English papers support this view, as does a large proportion of English thinkers and writers. (Now, too, with the fall of Bilbao, the hitherto badly organised dispatches of the Nationalists may reach London at least at the same time as those of the Reds.) Anyhow, just at this time, when all the original cat-calls and confident sneering is beginning to pall and the truth, however, dimly, to emerge, the "West Australian" sees fit to publish an article by Norbar, wherein are reiterated those tiresome, thread-bare fables which have been refuted a thousand times. The writer claims that writers who go to Spain "are almost without exception on the side of properly constituted authority." That is simply an unvarnished lie, which such eminent men of letters as Douglas Jerrold, Captain MacCullagh, Marquis Merry del Val, Major General Maxwell-Scott, Andre Gide, and a hundred others deny. In the case of those writers who do go on conducted tours of the Red 1,nes. like the Anglican delegation, we receive reports which do Even among the names not bear even superficial examination. mentioned by Norbar, he omits to mention that Unamuno died supporting the Nationalists, and that Ernest Hemingway recently exposed the part played by Russian tanks in Spain, and complete ly refuted the propagandist lies about Italian cowardice at Bil! huega. Of the other English names mentioned, it must be toted that some are more favourably known in fiction than in j.)urnalism, while a number have a pretty large axe to grind against any Cathoi•c cause. The cloven hoof of the propagandist is, however, best seen in the quotation of Berg-amin, Semprun, Lobo, Gallego, and Rocaful, as "Catholic writers and churchmen." Two are •infrocked priests and the others definitely under ecclesiastical suspicion and under the patronage of the Re-CI propagandist Gallardo. But the purpose of the "West Australian" was not suf;iciently served by this. A series of articles on the Spanish War H. R. Knickerbocker now appears in its columns. These were chosen a ,:appresumably for their "decent conservatism." expressed The articles tion over the first: "Atrocities on each side equal." are actually of . no value whatever, despite that they are cco, ered by "world copyright." The author naively believes that Guernica was bombed from the air when it is now universally known that in accordance with the usual Communist policy it was mined beThe same thing is feared in regard t-) fore evacuation. According to the cables on Wednesday : "A report from Bavr:nne, transmitted with reserve, says that fighting has broken out in Bilbao between Communists and less extremists, who have 1.),7en trying to prevent Communism from setting fire to the city before evacuation." However, Knickerbocker lets out an occasional fact which is already well known to the reading public, who don't :Ow on the cables for their information. "Mob violence is almost utiknown on Franco's side." "Franco's incomparably better army," etc. There is here, as usual, little about the Russian intet vention, Since we must have but we have grown used to half-truths. them or the lie direct, at least let us have plausible lies.

New Irish Constitution The new draft Constitution of the Irish Free State passed the final reading on Monday. and on July I will he submitted to the people for ratification in the fortn of the referendum. Elsewhere in this issue an outline of the more important features of this document is given. It must be one of the most remarkable charters written since the Reformation. . Of course its essentially Christian character was almost completely ignored by the secular press of this country. It was noted that it ignored the British ComWhat was not menmonwealth and did not mention the King. tioned is that it acknowledged the Blessed Trinity as the source and end of all authority and did not ignore "Our Divine Lord Jesus Christ."

Secularism--Apex of Sectarianism A report from Brisbane last week described a crowded City Hall passing enthusiastic resolutions "resisting strenuously any attempt to alienate public funds for sectarian schools." This is, of course, a monstrous misstatement of the objective of the Catholic Taxpayers' Association. It is unfair to say that Catholics want public money for Catholic schools. We want only that share of public money which is collected from Catholic taxpayers. And we do not want it for our own schools alone, but for every type or religious school. If the Queensland Council of Churches only rea;ised it, it is themselves who are availing from a misappropriation of public funds. They are unashamedly employing Catholic taxpayers' money to support and perpetuate the State schools. Moreover, it is so much humbug to be protesting against "sectarian" schools, as if secularism were not itself the worst and most vicious type of sectarianism. The old time Protestant used to believe that one religion was as good as another (though, of course, he never applied his dictum to the Catholic Church). But your new Protestant, in his championship of secular education, professes his belief that no religion is as good, or even better, than any religion. For the essence of secular education is that it must ignore the supernatural aspect of life. That in doing so it denies all the postulates of the Natural Law regarding the nature of man, and all the basic facts of Revelation relating to his origin and ultimate destiny, does not appear to worry our separated brethren. Nobody is surprised at the attitude of the Queensland Labour Party, because it is in the hoary old tradition of Liberalism, which could never see life as a whole. But one expects something better of professedly Christian bodies, and one is disappointed because Catholics were counting on the fairmindedness of the non-Catholic majority to help remedy the educational discrimination against Catholics. In the absence of any cogent objection against the validity of our claims, we must assume that the Queensland view is in no way representative of the whole body of non-Catholic opinion in Australia. .4Hp.

THE RECORD.

St. Brigid's, West Perth The usual fortnightly dance took place in the Parish Hall on Wednesday, June 9, and was not so well attend ed as usual. Our next dance, on June 23, will be a novelty carnival, and we hope to see all our old patrons and a few more of the young men . of the parish at it. Good supper, muisc and floor, and a good time is assured, all for 1/6.

Boulder Holy Name Society. Last Sunday was Holy Name Sunday, and a large number of members received Holy Communion at the early Mass, some of the guilds reporting 100 per cent.. attendance. It was very pleasing to note the new faces among those who approached the altar rails with members, and it is hoped to have these included in the membership shortly. The evening devotions were not so well attended, the extremely cold weather prevailing perhaps was the excuse.

Mrs. W. Maher, of Burt-street, who had the misfortune to meet with an accident several weeks ago is still an inmate of the St. John of God's Hospital, Kalgoorlie. All Hallows' Tennis Club. Last Sunday the Coolgardie Tennis Club journeyed to our courts for a return match, when a most enjoyable day was spent. In the morning eight ladies and eight gents. comprised our team, and defeated Coolgardie, 12 sets 78 games to 3 sets 45 games. An adjournment was made for dinner at the Grand Hotel. In the afternoon another eight ladies and eight gents. were selected to play against the visitors, but were defeated by Coolgardie, 10 sets 75 games to 6 sets 57 games, after a very even match. Afternoon tea was provided by our members, and at the conclusion of the day's play, three cheers were given Coolgardie. Their captain responded on behalf of his club and issued an invitation for another match on their courts at an early date, also an invitation to the Coolgardie tennis hall, to be held on Saturday, July 31. ,All members are reminded that the half-yearly subscriptions are now due, and must be paid before Sunday, July 11, as preparations for our third colas court will be commenced, New members to join our club recently are Misses C. Walsh, M. Ryan, K liallinan, G. Larcombe, and P. Larcombe, and Mr. J. Aylward. The secretary, Mr. J. Lowry, invites intending members to join immediately, as the second half yeat of the club has now commenced.

Three Springs Catholic Ball

St. Columba's, South Perth

Voted as one of the most successful halls ever held in the North Midland area, the annual Catholic ball took place on Thursday, June 1 The attendance was so large that it taxed the dancing space of the Three Springs Hall, so much so. that Rev. Father L ynch was busily engaged throughout the function in keeping back the mentolk from encroaching into the body of the hall. Several weeks of preparation had been undertaken to ensure the success of this popular event. However, every minute detail had been attended to, and was worthy of the effort, as the ball proved the most outstanding success ever achieved in the district. Patrons numbering 300 attended from Coorow to Mingenew, on the Midland line, and from Caron to Morowa on the Wongan railway. The interior on first entering the hall gave the impression of a soft pink cloud, whilst closer inspection revealed myriad festoons of imitation cherry blossom. The lights, shaded with pink Japanese lanterns, and the cherry blossom effect, with background of Japanese sunshades, produced a soft pink light; the whole effect being a realistic imitation of a Japanese garden. At the far end of the hall Ron M oyle's Perth dance band was guarded with a palm decorated enclosure, w hilst the stage was attractively decorated with two cherry trees in full blossom, set in Japanese vases. The stage was utilised for a sit-down supper, the arrangements being splendid: ly carried out.

Talks on the Mass. A series of eight talks on the Mass began last Sunday evening at St. Columba's, and will continue every Sunday evening for the next seven weeks. The programme of instruction is as follows: Sunday, June 20: The Sacrifices of the Old Law. Their meaning; their character; their end. Sunday, June 27: The Prophecy of Malachy. The Last Supper; Calvary; The Mass. Sunday, July 4: The Mass: From Introit to Creed. Dramatised by the children. Sunday, July 11: Sunday July 11: The Mass: From Offertory to Canon. Dramatised by the children. Sunday, July 18: The Mass: The Canon. Read by the children. Sunday, July 25: The Mass: From Pater Noster to end Dramatised by the children. Sunday. September 3: Sacred Vessels and Vestments. Object lessons by children. The various talks will take a quarter of an hour, and another quarter to demonstrate them by the children's presentations. Last Sunday the congregation was fair, but we are hoping that many more of the parishioners will attend. " 'Tis the Mass that inatters''—but it matters only when we participate in it, and how can we do that unless we understand it better? Tuesday's Mass in honour of St. Anne is drawing good attendances, and the shrine is playing a big part in the devotional life of the parish. Recently an artistic touch of gold leaf has made the statue more appealing.

Great credit is due to the organiser ( Mrs, W. M. Carmody) and her assistant organiser (Mrs. E. E. Saggers), and the committee, consisting of Mesdames W . J. Sparks, E. Sheahan, J. A. Brown, L . F. Coffey, E. Burge, C. F. Thomas, junr., R. Barnhart; Misses Mary Turner, Mag Turner, E. Maley, E. Carroll; and Messrs. C. F. Coffey, W. M. Carmody, R. Barnhart, E. Saggers, and J. Sheedy. The menfolk were chiefly responsible for the erection of a lounge annexe, which proved very popular as a smoking room, and the preparation of the floor, which was as near to perfection as possible. Mr. Barnhart gave a nautical turn to the evening, by introducing a number of Gob caps, similar in design to t hose worn in the American Navy. In place of the ship's name, the caps bore such inscriptions as "Come and see me sometime,- -I'm no angel," etc., and t hey caused a lot of merriment and gave the gathering quite a carnival appearance. Mr. Bill McCagh provided the confetti for the confetti dance, and this item proved particularly popular. Mr. Jack Carmody officiated as M C. and allowed for no dull moments and kept the hall continually tilled with dancers. Of an evening filled with super attractions, it was hard to imagine further perfection, but the catering arrangements were par exWith the stage at their disposal, the committee provided seating accommodation for over 50 persons at a time. The excellent manner of the arrangements further emphasised the necessity for the provision of supper rooms at local halls. During the evening Mr. W. M. Carmody, president of the Church committee, in addressing the gathering. said he was very pleased to see such a large and representative gathering, and thanked all for their attendance He hoped everyone had enjoyed themselves, and that they would retain pleasant memories of the evening. They travelled for miles, they came ,n hundreds, the band played. and the -evellers returned to their homes in the breaking light of the following day So ended the Annual Catholic Ball of i 9:17

Something has happened to the parish this Year. The response to the prize packet scheme is the lowest on record, so low that we are all a bit worried. And we have such a beautiful church to work for We are postponing the first draw for some time, in order to add to the very meagre list. The children's ball is postponed from July 5 to Tuesday, July 27, that the sets may have longer practice. Next week we hope to have the list of sets ready.

The organisers are Miss Betty Casserley and Miss Arrangements are Marie Dominish. well in hand, and so many have promised to go that it looks like being a great success. Two buses will leave Fremantle, and the fare will be as reaFurther details sonable as possible. will be announced later, Our block collection is keeping up well, remarkably well,. when one considers how many- of our people are working part time. I was in a home some time ago urging the lady of the house to go to Mass. I disposed or excuse after excuse, and finally told her that she was a hard case. Her retort was that she pays sixpence per week to the Church. It was a good answer. I know her circumstances, and they are poor in the extreme. It was a case of the widow's mite over again, only she was not a widow. It w as real charity and there is one who said that "Charity cove reth a multitude of sins." We must supplement the block collection by other means. It is the ideal way of raising money ii times were good and all our people were working. The poor people are generous enough, but what they have not got they cannot give. I think house parties are a very good means. People do not like going to a cold hall in the winter and besides, people go to house parties who never go anywhere elseSo if some kind people volunteer to run some for us, we would be very pleased. They could confine them to their own circle of friends. They may not realise much, but every little helps, Some ut our people play bridge regularly at each other's houses. They could easily combine pleasure and business b y' putting in a little for the Church. We are sorry to hear that Mr. J. .McLinden is leaving our parish. His loss would be irreparable, but he is only moving just over the border, so we shall retain his services. He has the block collection reduced to a fine art, and while all praise is due to our collectors, we must thank him for the able way in which the whole affair is organised.

Subiaco Parish Ball. Only a fortnight to go and the Parish Ball (the event that the whole parish has been waiting for will be at hand.

Holy Name Society. On last Sunday the members of the Holy Name Society held their usual monthly Communion at the 730 o'clock Mass, when a large attendance was present. When Mass had concluded, a number of the members adjourned to St. Joseph's Hall, where a Communion breakfast awaited them. During the breakfast the spiritual director, Rev. Father Brosnan, addressed the members and congratulated them on their attendance at Communion, and hoped that the attendance would he larger at the next breakfast. The president of the Society, Mr. F. O'Mahotiv, also spoke a few words, outlining the objects of the Society, and of the improvements and innovations that the committee intended to make during the year. In conclusion, he congratulated members on their attendance at the previous meetings and Communions, and hoped that they would continue to be so in the future, General. Last Sunday, being the second Sunday of the month, the usual "Missa Cantata" was held, when a large congregation was present. At the Offertory, Cherubini's "Ave Maria" was sung in pleasing manner by Miss Mercia de Mamie', while throughout the service the church choir, under the baton of Mr. Tom Forrestal. rendered the hymns in the usual efficient manner Noticed last Sunday by many of the parishioners were the new poplar trees and palms that have been planted in These are yet the church grounds.

In the meantime clubs are being keyed up to a point of enthusiasm as to w hether or not their respective teams will see the semi-finals for the last round. Anniversary Dance.

St.-Joachim's, Victoria Park A large number of people assembled at Mrs, Pyke's, Sunbury-road, on last Wednesday evening for her social. Dancing, plenty of music and song, and a good game of cards made the evening very pleasant for everybody, with the result that some are already asking when is the next one? On the same night a very successful dance was held in the Kindergarten, in aid of the Labour Stall. Miss Flora Langridge supplied the music. Novelty prizes were won by Mr. and Miss Bock and Miss Nell Outridge. Community Concert. We were sorry to disappoint so many patrons last week, owing to a misunderstanding, but don't forget next Wednesday night at the Victoria Park Town Hall, and be there at 8 p.m., or you will be sorry to have missed one of the best events of the season.

DEATH OF PIONEER CATHOLIC.

(By "Recorder.")

IA link with the early development of the Drakesbrook district was severed with the death on May 29 of Mr. Cornelius Sheridan. Till several days prior to his death, the late Mr. Sheridan had enjoyed normal health. A slight indisposition rapidly developed into a serious illness, and he soon passed into a coma from which he never rallied. He was removed on Thursday, May 27, in the Harvey St. John Ambulance to hospital, where he passed away on the Saturday morning.

Monday night's .frottingmeeting at Richmond Park Course should be well worth watching. The programme, which comprises six events, should be interesting. Proceedings will open with a Breeders' Handicap, ‘‘hile the other five events are open for horses who have registered 2.23 or better. Large fields will contest these races, which should be chockfull of thrills, as the back markers try to work their way through or round the field. Trotting enthusiasts are always certain of a good evening's sport at Richmond Park. Selections:

The news of his death cast a gloom over the district and expressions of regret at the passing of an honest gentleman and an untiring champion of the district were to be heard on all sides. The late Mr. Sheridan was born at Carrigallen, County Lietrin, Ireland, 75 years ago, and arrived in the State in 1897. He was a member of a party of Irishmen who were introduced to the State by the late Bishop Gibney, and interested in farming lands at Hamel. His commanding personality, honesty of purpose and unbounded confidence in the district very quickly earned for the late Mr. Sheridan an enviable opinion amongst his neighbours. His alertness and application to his farming operations shortly brought him to the forefront as an agriculturist in the district and his advice to new settlers who followed was given freely and eagerly sought. His openness of heart was one of his most pronounced traits and no appeal for assistance wase ever addressed to him in vain. The deceased gentleman was on the Drakesbrook Road Board from its inception, had, been its chairman on .several occasions, and at the time of his death was its senior member. He was also a Justice of the Peace for the district. The late Mr. Sheridan was a devout Catholic, and loaned every assistance t ..) the Church during his residence in the district. He was prominently as. sociated with every Church movement in the district and by the hierarchy, clergy and lay folk was held in honour. On Sunday morning the mortal re. mains of the deceased were c.onveyed to the Harvey Church and during the celebration of the Requiem the coffin rested before the altar. At the conclusion of the Mass, Rev. Father F. R yan read the prayers for the dead, and all joined in the recital of the De Prolundis. Father Ryan paid tribute to the many sterling qualities of the deceased. As a Christian in the Strictest sense of the word he had lived his life and died fortified by the rites of his Church. His exemplary life and death should prove a consolation at this sad time to those whom he held so dearly in life and who were now left to mourn a loving and deted father. The funeral was held on Sunday afternoon, when the cortege moved from the church where short prayers were read by Father Ryan. The funeral procession was perhaps the largest yet seen in Waroona, the hearse having passed into the drive to the cemetery before the last of the cars had left the church. The large gathering at the graveside was representative of every sphere of life in the district. Members of Parliament, old and more recent settlers, wage earners and visitors from the metropolis and outside districts mingled to pay this last tribute of silent respect to one whose many virtues and courage had earned him an honoured place in their esteem. The chief mourners were Miss A.Sheridan and Mrs. R. B. Laird ( daughters), Messrs. Matthew, Patrick and Jack (sons), Mr. R. B. Laird (sonin-law). Two other daughters, Sister Mary Bernard, of the St. John of God Hospital, Subiaco, and Sister Mary Matthew, of the Presentation Convent, Cottesloe were not in attendance at the funeral obsequies. Father Ryan read the prayers at the graveside and was assisted by Rev. Father Sheridan, of Perth, who is distantly related to The pall-bearers were the family. Messrs. Ross McLarty M.L.A., J. T waddle, chairman of' the Drakesbrook Road Board, C. C. Thatcher, late secretary of the board, H. E. Green, 0. Bowles, J. Hall and J. Cramer. The coffin bearers were old and present members of the board, Messrs. S. J. Weller, T. Tweedie, J. R. Dods, C. H. Landwehr, A. S. Archibald and J. Browne

Debate. On Sunday last our team, comprising Frank Townsend (leader), Maury Killeen, and Len Townsend, met the Young Labour League in the ,econcl fixture of the Fremantle Debating League. Despite a good showing by our representatives, two of w hom received the highest and second !•ighest individual marks, the adjudi. ator was unable to give a verdict either way. In his eyes the oratory of the opposition counter-balanced our logic and wealth of matter, and the result was given as a dead-heat. As the Young Labour League was the premiers last year, the improvement shown by the team can be easily gauged. Our football match against the Subiaco C.Y.M.S. will take place on Sun(lay, June 20. at Hilton ParkIt is e xpected that the strongest side we have fielded for a long time will oppose the visitors. As there are no facilities on this ground, we are unable to e xtend our usual hospitality to the Subiaco men. A special invitation is being given to any of our patrons who w ould like to witness the downfall of our friends from up the line. Our first football trip will be held tb Armadale on the 27th, inst., and already a large number of our patrons have deluged us with enquiries about the outing.

Royal Commission on Youth Employment Work of Catholic League Outlined by Mr. W. Kinane Before the Royal Commission on Youth Employment, which heard evidence in Perth, evidence was given by Mr. W. Kinane, as the President of the Catholic Youth Employment League. The League started in March, 1933, and functioned as a placing organisaFor a commencement it had tion, its own office and a secretary-typiste. Finance was obtained from subscriptions of members, donations and small grants from the Lotteries Commission, no charge whatever being made to employers or employees. Registrations during the period it has been functioning were 639 boys and 224 girls. Of late the League's activities have been curtailed for want of funds. The League was compelled to close its office and dispense with the services of the secretary-typiste. At present the work is being carried on by Mr. Dowling, secretary and accountant, in conjunction with his own work, but of course he cannot devote the necessary time to it and it has suffered accordingly. We hoped to get some grant from the Youth Appeal Fund, but nothing has as yet materialised. 1 was asked by your secretary to obtain certain figures regar rig our CaThese figure.- are as tholic schools. follows:— Work of Catholic League.

Percentage of those who left who obtained employment: 1935, approximately, 51 per cent.; 1936, approximately, 56 per cent. Extent of Youth Employment. Une of the first activities to be undertaken is to ascertain the extent of youth employment. I would suggest that a census be undertaken and organised on the lines of the Commonwealth Census. An attempt was made by the Economic Council some three years ago to ascertain the extent of t he problem in the metropolitan area, but as the tilling in of the cards was The big voluntary, it was a failure. majority of houses at which cards were left did not fill them in and, of course, that was an end of it. If a census is to be taken there should be some statutory power compelling the required information to be given. A s the Commonwealth Government vitally interested in the question it should hear the cost incurred. Rural Industries. In a State like ours, where primary Industries mean so much, I certainly think that some of our boys should be trained in rural industries. Especially the lost legion (those who left school five or six years ago), many of whom have done no work since leaving school. It is difficult to get town lads to go If boys are to be to the country. placed on farms, the conditions of living should be first ascertained and a follow-up scheme instituted so that the boys' welfare will not be lost sight of. The Churches should be encouraged and financially assisted to form farm The Christian Brothers at schools. Tardun have made a striking success of their Farm School. It could be extended and more boys absorbed if financial assistance were forthcoming. striking Fairbridge Farm is another e xample of what can be done by organised effort.

The Land, Local Products and Women in Industry porting as far as possible. The allied industries to farming would be carried on, such as blacksmithing, baking, butchering, carpentry work, repairing of tractors and agricultural machinery, harness making and repairing if horses employed, storekeeping. Other industries, apart from the ordinary prim- • ary ones could be organised in such a colony, such as canning of fruit, making of jams and preserves. Here we are now growing tobacco, which promises better results than ever before in Australia, partly because of scientific knowledge, but also because of sounder planning and efficient practices in planting and curing. In one locality in New South Wales the growing and canning of asparagus and' other vegetables is being carried on with great 'success. The curing of bacon from pigs raised on the farm could also be carried on, the latest and most scientific methods being used. All goods required, to be obtained locally and outside traders excluded. As a large area of land would be required, some form of local government, which would conform with the laws of The the State, could be instituted. boys would manage their own economic affairs within limits, controlling In short, the boards being elected. colony, as far as possible, would be self-contained.

Vocational Guidance. I support the raising of the school The average age to fifteen years. and normal pupil at about twelve years of age should pass on to some preparation for his future career. Between 12 and 14 is the period when it should be determined which way he When this is will go educationally. decided, probably by collaboration of the parent, teacher and psychologist, his school work should proceed along lines which would fit in with his chosen vocation. This applies with greater force when he reaches the age of At that age his training fourteen. should be along professional or techIf intended for a pronical lines. f-ssion, he would proceed right up to the Leaving examination. If intended for agricultural, pastoral pursuits, skilled or ordinary trades, his training should be along suitable technical lines. In other words from fourteen upwards, real technical training and skill should be brought into play. In this respect we are inadequately equipped for the training of youth as compared with other countries. We have an excellent Technical School here, but its activities are limited owing to want of funds. Its operation should be extended, so there would be no obstacle in the way of all suitable pupils obtaining a technical training. We want to avoid the tragedy of a youth taking up employment for which he is altogether unfitted—to do away with the round peg in the square hole. In the case of Catholic schools, which receive no help whatever from the State, it would be almost impossible for them to finance a period of technical t raining. and I would suggest that they be helped financially to provide faciliRural Colonies. ties at their own schools, or they be In addition to placing boys on farm nabled to attend at a Technical e estabthe advocate schools, I would chool from fourteen upwards.

Support of Local Products. Regarding secondary industries, in this State we are in a particularly favourable position to extend those industries. At present the industries established are so inadequate that some 210,000,000 worth of goods are brought into the State annually. An intensive campaign should be carried on to buy oply locally made goods. It should be carried on intensively. In our schools a certain time could be devoted daily by teachers in this regard. Jr all picture theatres films could be shown and information given. Stores should be encouraged to push locally made proIf this campaign were thorducts. oughly- conducted, industries new would spring up as a result of the demand created and a number of local youths absorbed in employment. Girls in Industry. Youth (boy) unemployment was intensified by the depression which swept Australia and the whole world from 1929 onwards. Matters were made worse by the employment of girls in positions which were formally filled by boys. In the happy days before the war, the placing of boys was a simple matter. Avenues of employment were open to them into which they stepped when leaving school, and for the most part they had good prospects of advancement so that as they reached manhood they developed into useful citizens. With the war came the employment of girls in positions which were formerly the prerogative of

boys. After the war this ccr.tinued. with the result that the supply of youths seeking work greatly eceedeo the mand. We had girls .-. ._ well as boys seeking positions formerly occupied by The applicants increased out boys. of all proportion to the positions avail- Many employers found the able. girls efficient and cheaper, so that for the positions that were available they in many cases got preference. Economic Calamity. It must be admitted that this posiThe boys tion is economically bad. who should be the future bread-winners, find it most difficult to obtain suitable employment. In the course of our ,experience we have found families where the girls had no difficulty in finding work, whilst the boys remained in enforced idleness. Here we cannot do as is done in some of the Dictator countries of Europe, that is, compel the girls to stick to home duties and other occupations essentially feminine, but we might arrange legislative action that equal pay be given to both sexes and the employer might then find it to his advantage in many cases to employ males instead of females. Dismissals at Adult Age. Another position which must be considered is that brought about by the dismissal of youths when they reach adult age. It is obvious that some employers find it reduces the expenditure side of the cash book by dismissing such employees and replacing them by youngsters leaving school. Many employers do retain the services of some employees who are efficient after the adult age has been reached, but'the majority of them have to go Even if it meang an increase in the price of goods, I think that some leg islative action should he taken, provided of course there is work to do, to compel the retention of tbe services of all efficient employees after they reach the adult age,

Tennis It's becoming the vogue to use the double-hand grip in tennis. The idea is gaining advocates apace, and recently I came across such a one in Ernest Rowe, veteran South Australian player, and one who was several times on the brink of Davis Cup selection. He is now a professional coach, and gives it as his opinion that young players showing a tendency to play double-handed should be encouraged. A new one has appeared in South Australia in 14-year-old Reg Clements, a country lad, who has been sweeping all before him, and who bids fair to be ranked shortly with two other great double-handers, Vivian McGrath and John Bromwich. Well, we're not winning too many Davis Cup contests! CYCLING..

down the moorlands to the shore, whence a barque bore Him across to the opposite bank. • What design could it have been moved Him to re-visit these places which from now on were destined to be so hostile to Him? Was it the desire to once more oversow the fields of Genesareth with the holy seed of His word, or (lid He hope to find, further inland, in the hill country of Zabulon, a still profounder solitude? The latter hypothesis seems the likeliest one, after all.; for the Master ordered them to land, not at Capharnautn, but upon the deplate shores of Magdala. and Saint Mark tells us that He set out immediately for Dalmanutha. an obscure hamlet lying among the ni( ,tintains which separate Mag,lala from Tiberias.

This time the attack of His s worn foes took a new turn. Until now the Pharisees had been content to depriciate the Miracles of the Christ by attributing them to Beelzebub. persuading the people that no prodigy performed upon earth can be regarded as proof of a Divine Mission, because there is node which is beyond the power of the devils. B at here at Dalmanutha they loudly challenged the Saviour. defying Him "to work some sign upon high"—to cause the sun to halt, as Joshua had done, or, like Samuel. bring 'the thunderbolt the out crashing down from cloudless sky, or encompass Himself about like Elias in the days of old. with lightnings and flame. • Jesus disdainea this provocation, as once before in the Desert lie . had spurned the demands ot Saf an.

The Pharisees Seek a Sign

H. W. O'CONNOR

Christ Prophesies His Resurrection morrow for the sun is red.' And at dawn: 'There will be a storm to-day, for the sky burns with a lowering glow.' Hypocrites! you discern what the face of the heavens portends, and yet you know not how to recognise the signs of the times in which you live!" Indeed, what more open and explicit signs could they have than the Sceptre now departed from Juda, Daniel's Week of Years fulfilled, the message of the Forerunner, the sick and feeble healc1, the dead raised to life? " What!" He exclaimed, "does ;his wicked and adulterous generation seek a sign! There shall be given it no other sign but that of Jonas the Prophet." And leaving the Pharisees with this prophecy of His Resurrection, Jesus returned into their little v essel. Once more He quitted the shores of Galilee and set sail for the northern part of the lake; and as they drew away from the land, He watched the bank fading away and vanishing in the soft shadowy haze: Capharnaum, B ethsaida, Chorozaln, one after another, had rejected Him—had abandoned Him to His enemies! Now as it happened, in the haste of their departure, the Apostles had forgotten to renew their store of provisions. but one loaf of bread remained, and they made the discovery only when t heir barque was far out from land. As they were grieving over their neglect. Jesus spoke to them in words which were meant to turn their minds from these material cares:— , "Take good heed." He said, `and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees." The disciples. thinking that the Master shared their anxiety about their daily food, inquired of each other what he would have them understand by this speech. Was He reproaching them for coming on board without stores, or did He mean to forbid them to partake of any food along with Sadducees and Pharisees: Not one of them was reminded of that unseen leaven which, fermenting in the human heart. sours and corrupts its life; although Jesus had employed a m etaphor often used by the Jews to describe the effects of sin, still t hey understood Him not. "Men of little faith," He exclaimed. "why do V011 think that So, without bread? V on are then, are von, too, devoid of either sense or reason? Are your hearts blinded? Have you eves only that You may not see, and ears that you may not hear? When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand men. how many baskets of fragments (lid you take up?" "Twelve." they said. "And when I broke the seven loaves for four thousand men, how many full hampers did you gather up?" "Seven." they replied, "Then how is it that von do not understand that it was not of bread I spoke when I told von to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?"

From this rebuke the Apostles began to see how they had w ounded the Heart of the Master by so disregarding His loving care, ay, .even tlis power. Their higher thoughts aroused once more, they finally glimpsed His hidden meaning: It was not of the leaven which is put into bread whereof He told them to beware, but of the doctrine of His enemies.

TWENTY-FOUR David Thirkel, the late Miss Parker's eldest nephew, looked over to her. A tall, bronzed specimen of manhood, who had just returned from a hunting expedition, and who, at the present moment, would have given much to have exchanged the present atmosphere with any one of the tight corners he had experienced in the last few months. "There are some jackals amongst these," he briefly summed up, and tried to associate them in the ties of relationship with a little lady who had never come to see him in college without a hamper, full of things which she was wont to tell him, with an irrisistible twinkle in her eyes, were exceptionally good for growing boys. "Ten-thirty is the time," he answered Martha Lethbelt. "Well, then, what are we waiting for, Lawkins?" she commanded of the butler. "What is detaining us?" If it were possible for the butler to draw himself any higher than his five feet ,eleven inches, he did it. He turned. "Mrs. Lethbelt, we are waiting for Mrs. O'Donnell." The large features dropped. "Who?" she gasped. "Mrs. O'Donnell!" shrilled "Marguerite! The proClare. digal returns to the old home !" She laughed nervously to hide her anger, but her eyes glinted venemously as with hastened breath she debated inwardly whethesr a secret reconciliation had occurred to blast her own hopes. "Yes," said the imperturbable Lawkins, "Mrs. O'Donnell is to arrive at 10.30." Anr as if to confirm his remark. Marguerite, followed by her eldest son and Macgregor. entered the room. She walked as if in a dream to a vacant chair. That she was deeply moved was very evident. She mutely acknowledged some of them their attempts of recognition. Martha. who saw behind the sad face a calm, satisfied light in the large grey eyes. wondered. She did not know that Macgregor had met Marguerite at the station and had whisked her away in his car for half an hour's quiet talk in which details of her Aunt's last hours with him, and his own drastic dash down by car to see her, were poured into astonished ears. . "It was just too late. Mr. nacgregor. And now, is it possible for me to see her jug. once?" "Well, Mr. Macgregor," said Martha. snapping the catch of her wrist watch into position. "it is time, don't you think?" She ,vas not at all in love with the trend of affairs, her black eve -z darting suspiciously here and there and then hack to Marguerite's face in search of an answer to the enigma which was puzzling her, as indeed was the case with some others present. Clare walked swiftly forward to intercept the old lawyer, and to catch a more sure .look at his face. She need not have worried. His heart was heavy within him, and he was feeling in the last few hours suddenly old and tired. But not for one moment was any of this allowed to show through the frosty northern eves. "What the devil does it mean ?" growled Frank Lethbelt to his mother, scowling at her from out brooding eves, as he took his place beside her in the mourning coach.

"Sh! And I do wish you wouldn't make use of that word. It irritates me. Anyhow, we'll all see after the funeral," she added impressively. A word must be said here of a girl who had willingly come forward to take care of two precious morsels of humanity in the absence of their parents, Jack O'Donnell's sister, Patricia.. She was, as her torment of a young brother was fond of telling her, very much in love. And the cause of her malady, Paul Delaney, not content with being puzzled over the girl, was also decidedly worried. Her changed demeanour of late since he had broached the subject of marriage to her, was very disconcerting. There was a touch of winter in the air the evening he had walked with Patricia up the road to her home. She swung along by his side, keeping pace with the step he had cut down to suit her own. She talked gaily. Life was very beautiful. Her mother was strong and well again. Bob. her young brother, was making good strides towards his Junior Certificate. And above all, the man walking by her side loved her. Although he had not said it. she knew. And the knowledge of it had carried

her through the worrying hours of office work, when one half of her heart had been at her work, and the other half had been at her mother's bedside. During a lull in the conversation, and suddenly she realised that she had been doing all the speaking, she stole a glance at Paul's face. His profile, always stern, looked sterner still in the evening light. And the girl wondered. She did not know that the man who arranged and who acted as representative for his firm when any wordy warfare was impending, was himself suddenly tontrue-tied. The atmosphere of a sudden seemed smitten with a curious t enseness, and Patricia made a valiant effort to start the conversation. It dwindled out hopelessly and the man never answered her. " What is the matter?" she though, miserably. "What is the matter with him?" Her imagination leaped ahead. "Perhaps he doesn't like me as much as I thought he did. Oh. well !--" and the chin assumed a defiant title. 'Tis better so. T have no money to pay for anything if he did ask me to marry him. I have no trousseau: I have nothing."

She strangled a sob of self-pity in her throat and bitterly anathematised herself for her sudden foolishness. But the sunshine of her joy had clouded. Paul Delaney stole a look at the silent girl beside him, her face flushed after the walk in the cold air, her fur collar tucked up to her ears. She had fastened his hunch of violets near her throat. They match your eyes so, he had told her once rather self-consciously. Patricia continued to look s traight ahead, giving full vent to her unhappy thoughts, and the man was quite free to gaze down upon her, at the oval face framed in the close-fitting hat, at the s ensitive eyebrows which twitched according to her thoughts. And suddenly she looked up at him, saw the homage in his look, saw that his eyes which set her pulses throbbing, and suddenly she knew what he was going to say. She gasped and took a quick step forward, desperately anxious to postpone the words hovering for utterance on the man's lips. But he caught her w rist with a sudden grip, and then imprisoned her hands. And all the love of his heart was told to her in tumbling, halting phrases. Just for a few minutes she allowed herself to listen, giving herself up to the joy of knowing full well what happiness it would mean for her, the sense of security it would bring her, she who had the worry of forcing her salary to snake the ends meet at home. And then her pride rose to the surface. She .knew from the other girls in the office the cost of even a small wedding, and she didn't even have that to spend on her mother. "No; No!" she cried. "No! Please don't say those sort of things to me." "But. Patricia--" "No, Paul. please," she gasped. How could she tell him, acknowledge to him, he who had so much, that she had nothing. Her pride rose up in arms. "No. I don't want to listen, Paul." The man gazed down at the girl in front of him, dimly conscious of a sense Of failure at being responsible for the look of distress on the averted face. He breathed heavily, hut said nothing. and with the exception of the rumble of a motor lorry on t he main road, there was no sound save the sleepy chirping of a cricket in the hedge near by. the snapping of some twigs in the trees, and the wierd calling of a wild duck for its mate over by the lak.e "Alright.

U. How was their union with Rome strikingly demonstrated on the occasion of the celebration of the sixteenth centenary of the Council of Nicaea (325 A.D.) ? A. In November, 1925—the y ear of the 16th. centenary—religious- functions were carried out s, in St. John Lateran's in eleven different rites, viz. : the Syrian ( Mesopotamia and Syria), the 6eorgian (Constantinople), the Armenian (Turkey, Russia, and Galicia), the Chaldean (Mesopotamia and Persia), the GrecoAlbanese or Italo-Greek (Southern Italy), the Roumanian (Roumania), the Maronite (Lebanon Hills), the Syro-Malabar (Malabar Coast), the Coptic (Egypt), the Slavonic (Russia), the Ruthenian (Galicia. Czecho-Sloyakia) ; and in St. Peter's in the Greco-Byzantine rite (Greece and Turkey). At the function in St. Peter's our Holy Father, Pope Pius XI., presided and observed all the ceremonies prescribed by the Byzantine rite, thus exercising the Apostolic power of Supreme Head of all the rites equally venerated by the Catholic Church. Besides these twelve there are the Ethiopic rite ("Abyssinia), the Bulkarian (Turkey and Bulgaria), the Serbian ( Jugo-Slavia), the Melkite (Syria and Egypt). Of all sixteen rites the Ruthenian. Roumanian, Syro-Malabar and Maronite have the largest number of adherents. Q. What are the three Western rites? A. I. The Mozarabic Rite. 2. The Ambrosian Rite. 3. The Roman Rite, which prevails almost universally throughout the Church. c). Where does the Mozarabic Rite survive? A. In Toledo and Salamanca. Up to the 11th. century it was the national liturgy of Spain. Cardinal Ximenes in the 16th. century had its books restored and founded a college of priests in Toledo to perpetuate its use. (..). What is the origin of the WI )rd "Mozarabic"? A . The word means a "wouldbe -Arab." and was first applied in ridicule to those Christians of Spain. who owed allegiance to the Moorish king, but were allowed the practice of their own T HOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK.

In to-day's Gospel, Our Lord r eveals Himself as the Giver of the New Law, not destroying the Mosaic Law, but perfecting it. He requires that our religion be more than mere formalism.

A Saint's Story on the Films It is the fashion in the English press just now to deride or belitt:s everything Italian, and Italian films have a decidedly "bad pi-ess." Few Hms in recent years have been so condemned as "Scipio Africanus," and this for no other reason that it idealised Roman history in the same way in which most other countries have been "boosted" at one time or another by historical Rims. The Scipio film had at least the In, it of being produced by Italiss . in;tead of by the internatior al hrigade of -Hollywood.

Lord Sempill was justified in speaking with a kind of paternal pride at the Japan Society's luncheon at the Savoy Hotel, Lontest,. in honour of Iinuma and JUKagosni on their recordbreaking flight in the "Divine Wind." For Lord Sempill org-anised; equipped and trained the Imperial Japanese Air Servics. There was nothing military aboi!t the record-breaking flight, but Lord Sempill's training has doubtless filtered through to Japan's civil aviation. The Emperor conferred upon him the Order of the Rising Sun. His pupils taught him something in return: at the luncheon be concluded his speech in Japanese. Now. 1 think, it's up to a Greek airman to do something big, because Lord Sempill also hejped to organise the Hellenic Naval Air Service.

It would be bard to imagine a ststy which gives greater possi1,iitties : the combination of an astonishing story with brilliant historical scenes and a vivid display of spiritual realities, and it nia! be taken for granted that in tise hands of Papini none of the opron unities will be missed.

Opening a fair at Beaconsfield, in aid of funds for a memorial to the late Mr. G. K. Chesterton, Dame Lyons (wife of the Australian Prime Minister) recalled that the writer described Australians as raw and remote. She added that Chesterton, with his love of argument, would have been disappointed if in her tribute to him she raised no argument. "I think," she went on, " that it is just as feasible to say that the English are cold and cooked. I would best describe Australians as unmellowed compared with the old world communities." Mrs. Chesterton presented Dame Lyons with two . of her husband's inscribed books and presented-NIr. Lyons with two of Chesterton's own drawings.

Examples of the extravagant i-hraseology of Nazi nes-t}aganism are contained in a speech by Baldur von Schirach, Youth eader of the German Reich, in the course of which he said: "Our flag is no earthly and transient symbol; it is bzf e our Fuhrer and before God the sym, bol of our immortality. If we are true to it, we are : o true t u our Germans-. our Fahrer and our God." He emphasise.! !is tolerance of, indeed h:3 ence for. every religious conviction: "Because I am strong in my faith and feel happy in it. I. therefore, have a deep and earnest respect for every other religious conviction." This equation o f National Socialism with religion is a common trait in the s peeches of such men As Von Schirach. Conscious of the fact :hat there can be no education which is not based on religion. the Nazi educators have no intention of leaving this out of the ,school programme. But in the .

"The Government gave reign to the mob, tools in the hands of their leaders, to establish a Dictatorship of the Streets as well as over the Government itself," writes Alcala Zamora, describing events a few months before the Civil War began as he saw them as President of the Republic.

"The Gnvernment of Valencia has thus pointed a contraband dagger at m v heart by taking from me hostages beyond all price." wrote Alcala Zamora in the "Journal de Geneve." "An aching heart has steeled itself by a supreme effort to recover the fullness of its liberty of the pen and the liberty of action —action faithful to my convictions as a patriotic Republican."
