R UMBLEmsc Could Catholics Compromise? "Yass," Manly: Would it not be possible for all the different churches to compromise, so that they could all be of the one religion? W hat would you call the conglomerate religion? It certainly Inwould not be Christianity. stead of being the religion Christ taught, it would be a religion all those putting their heads together would agree that it would be nice for Him to have taught. Just imagine a man saying, "Well I believe that Christ taught this, and you are convinced that He But now, let us taught that. not bother about the authority of Christ. I'll give up a little bit of what I am convinced to be His teaching, and you give up a little bit ot what you are convinced to be His teaching, and thus we \al arrive at a working agreement to suit ourselves." Surely you see the absurdity of After all, to whom does that. religion belong—to Christian the Christ or to us? We can't monkey about with it how we please. A nyway, for the Catholic Church there can be no question of compromise. It would be a direct c ontradiction of her claim and obligation to be and to remain the one true Christian religion. Nor, for her, can there be any real question of reunion. She denies that the Church of Christ has All nonever been disunited. Catholic Churches are not broken pieces of the Church of Christ waiting to be glued together They abandoned the again.

Is it right to do a Christian turn in an un-Christian spirit, humiliating those whom we think to benefit? Most certainly not. Should not the old age pension be called the service pension? A fter all, we are obliged to look after God's poor in a proper manner: and the old people have rendered services to their King and Country by work and the rearing of families. I agree with you in that But I cannot do more than suggest that you submit your views to the proper quarters, either directly to the Pensions Department or to some parlialmentary representative willing to take up the case. Why are not these pensions posted to old people dependent upon the State. instead of rubbing in their incapacity, and making them travel to Post Offices, to stand sometimes for hours in the heat or cold?
It should be possible to avoid those inconveniences; and, if possible, they should be avoided. But again I cannot do more than suggest that you submit your views on the subject to those in control of pensions. If you ask me if such treatment of old people is wrong. I reply that any unkindness and inconvenience inflicted unnecessarily upon anybody is wrong. But the rectification of faults in Government administration is beyond my capacity, even as the discussion of ways and means in such matters is beyond the scope of this session. • •
America's "Father Divine"
the founder of his new religion at once with thousands of dollars at his disposal. And he did things in such a big way that he could not help attracting notice. His ideas were equally sensational. He declared that he was God, and that he would not permit his But his folfollowers to die. lowers would have to renounce The one all idea of marriage. great evil in the world is, according to him, sex. Absolute celibacy is necessary for all, if they want him to bestow immortality upon them. He himself set the example by deserting his wife and family. The pleasures of love are compensated by religious fanaticism. And at his meetings deluded followers are expected to find their happiness in singing. "Glory, • Glory. Glory. It's Wonderful." stamping their feet to keep time, and interjecting mighty shouts of invocation such as. "Peace!! He is God." or, -"Father Divine is God'.' The universal celibacy idea, of course, does not work in practice. It merely smashes marriages, and leads to widespread infidelity. This. naturally, is denied by the "Angels."
T. P. O'C., Sydney: Would you give your opinion on "Father Divine,- the man who is electrifying millions in America? The famous negro who calls himself "Father Divine" and declares himself to be God, is but another of America's religious quacks. His real name is George Baker.

white man's remote and invisible God to a visible, tangible, flesh-and-blood black god. Smarting under the memory of past oppression and present contempt, the negroes were disposed in advance to atcept claims paying such a tribute to their race, and promising so wonderful an emancipation. Superstition, rife amongst the negroes, has also been a help. Early in his career, "Father Divine" was sentenced by a Judge Smith to gaol as a public nuisance. A few days later the judge died. When this was told to Baker, he remarked simply, "Ah hated to do it," greatly impressing his disciples. His movement seems to be breaking up now, but it would be optimistic to say that his recent arrest will be its deathblow. The papers have told us that there are repercussions even here in Australia. I think such reports can be completely disregarded. Of course we are told that the number of fools is infinite; and it is certain that there are some even in Australia. I cannot believe that, when fools were being distributed, Australia was overlooked. In fact, the growth of the Witnesses of Jehovah. transplanted from America to our c ountry, and much more harmful than Californian quails, is fairly good evidence that Australia was not overlooked in the said distribution. But the "Father Divine" racket would be just too much: and I do not think one need fear that it will ever get a footing in Australia, at least to any appreciable extent. Whence Comes the Cash? The manner of how "Father Divine" procures his vast captital intrigues me most. He certainly does things well, dealing literally in millions of dollars, running four motor cars and a private aeroplane, and building mansions in various parts of America. Each of these mansions he calls a "Kingdom of Heaven," the inmates being his "angels." Various guesses have been made as to where the money c omes from. An American paper I read recently declares that the most probable sources are, firstly, some wealthy white lunatic who hopes to foster race-suicide amongst the negroes by the spreading of "Father Divine's" antimarriage compaign: and, secondly, the donations of followers who, being told that they will never die. redeem their insurance policies, and hand the proceeds over to their imaginary "black god." • Catholic Sanity. Many listeners, including myself, will probably be interested in your views on this new religion. It is a curiosity rather than a danger. save from one point of view. Such outbreaks and the publicity given to them tend, at least in some people. to bring all religion into discredit. The ene-

mies of religion rejoice in quoting such absurdities as evidence that religion and madness, if not identical, are at least first cousins. This, of course, is as unreasonable as it would be to decide that mankind is mad after having inspected a lunatic asylum. Exceptional abnormalities are no argument against the value of the normal. And the Catholic Church insists that our religious tendencies must be regulated just as any other inclinations according to sane and balanced principles. As in all things else, it is irrational to fall into either excess or defect where religion is concerned. To distort religion or to deny religion would be equalTo profess the true ly wrong. religion and practise its duties r easonably and prudently is the virtue. And such is the demand of Catholicism.

FREEMASONRY AND COMMUNISM.
In the account of the General Assembly of the French Grand Orient, which was held in Paris last September, the following statement appears: "The General Assembly of the French Grand Orient invites the Council of Order to consider the possibility of founding a big and independent evening paper. Now on March 1 a new evening paper appeared in Paris. It is called "Cc Soir." Strange coincidence, indeed! Journalists in Paris were greatly intrigued lately by the efforts of the Communists to secure another evening paper besides "L'Humanite;" there was even a rumour that they would get "L'Intransigeant." Then the new paper came to light, and it appears that on the day following its appearance it was welcomed by only one paper, "L'Humanite."

W yndham Lewis, one of the most brilliant of the moderns, upholds his reputation in these two books. There has in the past been a surplus of Communistic propaganda, whilst antiCommunistic propaganda has been conspicuous by its absence.

These three days bring to two people romance, to one, tragedy, to one, death, and to a husband and wife, a fresh start.

William Walsh has been hailed as t he -Catholic Dreiser." His story, ' Murder Makes a Man," is at least comparable with "An American Tragedy," theiser's masterpiece, and in many respects it is superior to that novel. Stephen West is condemned to death for murder, a sentence afterwards commuted to imprisonment for life.

Mr. Lewis thinks clearly and hits hard. The brilliancy of his writing does not hide the solidity of his work, as is so often the case with lesser writers. Some of his paradoxes are almost Chestertonian, and his ability to shock the reader into thought ranks him with G.B.S. at Shaw's best.

Knowledge of the principles of polite behaviour removes that feeling of inferiotity which so often has its root in consciousness of ignorance or in uncertainty as to "what one should do." -Christian Courtesy for Catholic Girls," written by a Sister of St. Joseph, and published by Pellegrini and Co., Ltd., is an unfailing guide.

The book is as varied, as skilfully written, and as full of unusual expericnces as were its predecessors. There is a charming description of life in a qmet Highland village, a meeting with a u idowed bride in a West Aftoiest. There are stories of i lunatics at large, who proved to be sane, of swindlers, of hypochondriacs, and of the author himself in the role of matchmaker, There is also the truth about a certain secret postmortem. and the authentic story of t uberculin, round which has raged one of the biggest controversies of the past fifty wears.

C7.0ncludes with a chapter on the advantages of the religious life. The World Moves On. By F. K. tMaher, B.A., LL.B. History is being made with startling irapidity in our own days. We have w itnessed the Great War unprecedented in its fury and damage, the breakdown of Capitalism, the rise of Communism, the swing towards Dictators .he Totalitarian State, the spirit. ana . _ 4, ual growth and stre:ngtnening of CAtholicism. But more often than not in our bustling about we refuse to stand still and take stock of the changes of the world we live in. A hasty glance at the headlines of papers, that perhaps we cannot trust, is the only attention we pay to the world of 1937, a world that is "insecure, hesitant, torn by hatreds, of nation and class, almost despairing of sanity in private and public life." But we ought to make time to read this pamphlet. "The World Moves On," for in its aspects of the change in the world are examined in the light of the Catholic mind. One of the most interesting to this writer is the treatment of the Arrival of the Superstate. .We are shown the growth of Parliamentary power from the 16th. century until to-day, when "nothing now stands between the individual and the all-powerful State:" we see how men gradually lost economic freedom with the decline of a land-owning class. The rise of Nationalism is traced and the increase in "National Planning" with its consequent leaning on the State for support. The conclusion drawn is that Dictatorship seecis to be inevitable, and this very well may mean the persecution of 'Religion. This is only one of the sections of the pamphlet. There are five others dealing with questions of equal importance and interest. "The Crisis in the West," - What of Christian Democracy." and -The Catholic Citizen" are some of the others. This -latter would be an excellent antidote to give to anyone who may still persist in the belief that Catholics must inevitably be traitors, or at the best, unreliable citizens. The author ends on a note of appeal, T ie calls on all Catholics not to be -casual spectators of modern life," but to save society by the dissemination of the principles of Justice and Charity, that Our Holy Father so persistently insists upon. Let Jesus Christ control the world and not Karl Marx. Atheistic Communism is the English text -4 the recent Papal Encyclical, "Divini Redemptoris." With an attractive cover, it is well set out in paragraphs and cross headings. Full references are given at the back.
The Penrose Mystery. By Dr. Austin Freeman. Ilodder and Stoughton. Once again Dr. Thordyke returns. The 'story this time is concerned with the mysterious disappearance of a w '11-to-do, rather mysterious collector uf antiquities, one Daniel Penrose, The book opens with an account of Penrose, his habits, his eccentricities, and his curious collection. Suddenly he diyappears, leaving no trace, although it seems that he fled in a panic after killing a woman with his car in circumstances that lead to a verdict of manslaughter. The police can only trace him for a short distance. Thorndyke takes up the case. The only clue is a small piece of paper, containing the w ords, "Lobster (hortus petasatus)". From this clue he builds up a theory which leads to a startling discovery, and ultimately to the complete solution of the mystery.
OTHER PAMPHLETS. The Spirit of Mother Marj of the Criy:s. by Rev. Father Wilfrid R yan, S.J. At attractive little booklet on the life and spirit of the foundress of the Australian Sisters of St. Joseph. The narrative is based on the Life by Rev. Father George O'Neill, S.J., but the purpose of this pamphlet is specifically to reveal something of Mother Mary's spirit, "a little more of her lovableness." Letters from Rome, May b, 1937. This important little booklet contains an after-word to Communists about the new Encyclical, articles on "Loyalty to the Church," "A view. point on Spain," "Communism in Columbia, Belgium and the U.S.S.R." The Conflict in Spain, by the Marquis de Merry del Val, is a publication of the English C.T S.. and is a brilliant antidote to many Communist mis. statements.

In his usual bright and eminently readable style, Father Lord has a priest lecturing to the Open-Mind Forum, and the subsequent conversation at the lunch table centres around the significance of Christ in modern life.

A striking parallel between the social condi. don of the world 2,000 years ago and now clinches Father Lord's arguments. Why Not be a Nun? By Rev. P. J. Gearon, 0.Carm.

If this be the case we can only regret the error or had faith of people who ought to know that no Catholic party can act as if it had a mandate or delegation from the Church, and that consequently she cannot he made responsible for the political acts of certain Catholics. But, be that as it may, can it really be believed, that a dictatorship under Catholic inspiration— for what else can be considered? —would not be much more harmful from the religious point of view because of the hostility which it would arouse in many hearts, and above all because of the violent reaction which would be unleashed when eventually it disappeared?

State Corporatism. It is undoubtedly necessary, in conformity with the Pontifical doctrine contained in the Encyand Novarum clicals Rerum Ouadragesimo ,Anno, to tend to the development of vocational unions and corporations in a manner that will integrate them in some way, as a constituent element of the social order in the structure of the State. But from that to aspire to impose a "State corporatism," that is, the exclusive right of the State to give the corporations their existence and rule them at its will—there lies the gap between freedom of association and Statist absolutism. These directions we consider necessary to ensure the activity and the influence of the Church. True, the Church's sole end is the sanctification of souls; but for the attainment of this end she prescribes not only supernatural means, but has, in addition, an incontestible right of recourse to all the human and earthly means which the whole world uses—that is, the formation and direction of institutions for education, moral uplift and culture, propaganda, charity, material help or social service, and any others that can, even indirectly, preserve men from evil and conduce to their salvation. We ask all the faithful, especially priests and religious, to conform with those principles. The Catholic Press, we have no doubt, will make it a duty to draw inspiration from them. We hope that persons or groups who would defend the contrary ideas will revise and retorm their views or their programmes. W e are living in a profoundly disturbed atmosphere. In public life, where they are just as essential as in private relations, Christian peace and fraternity seem to be wholly forgotten today. Truth, justice and charity are systematically disregarded. Falsehood, calumny, and insult are the usual thing, as if in politics the end justified the means. All this, alas! is far removed from the Christian spirit and From the Christian morality. bottom of our hearts we hope that all will nobly return to respect for the law of the Gospel.

He stressed the fact that the best soltition for wayward youth was constant, useful and interesting work, such as that which was being so successfully carried on in Tardun. His Lordship Bishop O'Collins said that no words of his could adequately express his appreciation of the work that was being done in the Tardun School for the State as a whole, and especially for boys of the type who were privileged to be in Tardun—boys of good intellect, good conduct and anxious to advance themselves in life when afforded the opportunities which

Mr. Patrick, M.L.A., stressed the great need for the training of young f armers scientifically, and paid tribute to the excellent work that was being carried on in Tardun. The Hon. T. Moore, M.L.C., said that no effort should be spared by the Government and public generally to help the Christian Brothers in their self-sacrificing efforts to train deserving boys mentally, morally, scientifically and practically. Mr. Steele, Chairman of the Mullewa Road Board, proposed a vote of thanks to the Bishop and to Mr. Troy. He said that he could see nothing but good results from the excellent scheme which was being carried on in Tardun. He said that it would be far more useful to spend money in encouraging schemes like the one they had in Tardun than in building battle ships. A fternoon tea was supplied by a c ommittee of ladies organised by Mesdames Walker, Hynes and Steele. -_

Eucharistic Congress, to be held next year, promise to be most picturesque. especially the procession through the city, with a relic of St. Stephen. first apostolic king of Hungary , whose 900th. death anniversary will be commemorated. The Danube. which is very wide at Budapest. is also extremely beautiful and the Eucharistic procession on the river. at night. with the two banks illuminated, will also be a wonderful sight. The German Government will not oppose the running of pilgrim trains to Budapest for the Congress, and a 60 per cent. reduction on railway fares in Germany is to be granted to pilgrims. Budapest has a mid-European climate. Thus settled weather can he counted upon, showery or changeable weather is very rare indeed. Usually set fair, there are, however, days of heavy rainfall Making any pilgrimage impossible. "Have you heard of the timber mei% chant who had the 'phone installed for the first time?"

PERTH, S.ATLRI)AV, .1 l.NE 26,' 1937.
Where's That Balderdash? The amount of fuss created within the precincts of the University over the production of "'Where's that Bomb?" is out of all proportion to the literary merits of the farce. A Left Wing element in the University Labour Club originally invited the 1,Vozkers'. Art Guild to stage their production at the University. A later and more balanced meeting rescinded this decision and claimed that the play was not in the best interests of the Club. This indeed was evident from a perusal of the script, which was not available when the first invitation was issued. The desire of the University Labour Club was all the more remarkable and suspicious in that it decided to produce a play which none of its members had seen and the script of which was not procurable It indicated clearly that a Red element in the Club had been assured of its propagandist nature and direction, and for them that was sufficient. The meeting at which the play was called off very rightly protested that the former productions of the Workers' Art Guild had been blasphemous, sectarian and antipathetic to Labour interests. Yet, despite this purely domestic arrangement of the Labour Club, the societies' council of the Guild of Undergraduates has seen fit to take the high-handed action of themselves inviting the Workers' Art Guild to produce the play. It is reasonably claimed that "Where's that Bomb?" is a totally unsuitable play for either a Labour organisation or a State University to sponsor. In the first place, the productions of the Workers' Art Guild are more than suspicious. They may definitely be considered Communist propaganda, seeing that the Workers' Art Guild is a Red affiliation. The Labour movement, by excluding members of the Communist party from its rallks, and by rejecting the United Front proposals, has definitely expressed its antagonism towards .Marxism. Yet more so, the State University should be the last place in the world to welcome productions subversive of the very order by which such Universities exist. In all charity it can only be said that the Guild of Undergraduates has added yet another puerility to an already long list. Of course, it is easily appreciated how this mass ot nebulous opinion which passes for intellectualism is decided by the specious catch-words of Communists about free thought and free speech. It seetni; never to occur to them thought is only free so long as it is intelligent, and that free speech does not include a prerogative to talk rot. The play itself is unreserved Communist propaganda. It is a particularly vulgar type of farce, such as one would not expect to meet even in a very loose barlesque show. In a quite unnecessarily coarse manner it labours to disabuse the public mind of the reality of the Red peril. The Communist is no longer the whiskered, furtive Bolshie bearing the bomb. Exactly! He has become r espectable. He has wormed his way into the .League of Nations, has put on a great liberal and humanitarian show against war and fascism in the United Front. has even persuaded Comrade Stalin and some of the more presentable Russian bureaucrats to don evening clothes, and their wives Parisian gowns. But at heart and in essence he is still the old enema), of humanity and of Christianity. Throughout two broad acts there is a painfully juvenile effort to perpetuate the idea of the class struggle,- to ridicule virtue, patriotism, and more subtly. the Church. The authors could not even resist dragging in the material interpretation of history and the sentimental sob stuff about equal status for women. It has been widely advertised, presumably as a sop for democratic workers, that the play was written by two London taxi-drivers. We earnestly hope for the sake of literature that the co-authors continue as chauffeurs rather than as playwrights. Even as farcical propaganda the script is dull. It has the cardinal defect of protesting too much.
Discursions of a Lecturer Under the auspice, of the Communist Party, a lecture on "Communism and Catholicism" was given last Sunday in the Temperance Hall. The speaker. in an earnest endeavour to be comprehensive, rambled through the entire course of history and touched upon the condition of most of the non-Communist (Fascist) countries of Europe. Among many amusing errors the lecturer in all seriousness assured .his listeners that the Reformation was not caused by Henry's desire for polygamy bta was a popular movement to give Church estates to the people! The nobles, presumably. were acting under the Soviet plan of being Commissars for Other points of entertainment were the claim the Proletariat. that Franco brought the Moors (in their millions) to Spain. whereas by the l-J1g,e irony of truth they were introduced by thee Socialist Government four years ago to quell a rising in Seville, and that Degrelle was rei2roved lw the Catholic hierarchy because he called his party after Christ the King. But apart from the native wit of the lecturer in such touches as his criticisms of translations from the Russian and his belief that the Catholic Press supports the Totalitarian State, there were Quoting from a Catholic t wo examples of deliberate fraud. pamphlet, "Red Rule in Mexico." the lecturer cited as the opinion of the author of the pamphlet the very charges made against MexiAgain, when a Cacan Catholics which the author later refuted. tholic speaker was pointing out that Communist apologists, such as Marx, Lenin. and Lunarcharski. denied the compatibility of Christianity and Communism, the lecturer took it upon himself to
Mockery of
the Dead
Not alone Catholics but Christians of all sects and decent people with no defined religious allegiance will be hurt and nauseated by the obscene mockery of the dead which was given by the "Oreski" Club--"an educational and cultural organisation"—in the Rechabite Hall recently. According to a report in the "Workers' Star": "A feature of the evening was a tableau of the funeral This was preceded by a toy aeroplane with of General Mola. the 'corpse,' attended by altar-boys and priest, being pulled around Following behind were Hitler, Mussolini, the hall by 'Moors.' and Franco, weeping copiously into large handkerchiefs." If any doubt existed in the mind of any decent worker as to the real heart of Communism, this crude and ugly exhibition of hate should set the matter at rest. We can understand how and why they might have hated Mola in life. but the most craven of our race does not mock the dead. Catholics have every reason to disBut we do not avow Marx, Lenin. Stalin and all their works. This is the meanest hate and the (lance on freshly-dug graves. supreme cowardice. It adds nothing to the lustre of the Spanish Relief Committee or to their plea of impartiality that they accepted the proceeds of such a foul and inhuman exhibition. The organisers of this gross tableau will be well advised to reconsider its repetition on Saturday, July 3. No decent-minded Australian public will stand for that type of thing- a second time. be•-•46-4.410-40411. I

The community concert held on Monday night in the Cathedral Hall. was the best yet as far as entertainment went, but the numbers were disappointing.

Chesterton Club A good attendance of members and friends of the club gathered in Pier. street on Wednesday night, to hear a lecture from Rev. Father Fahey. on "Communism." Father Fahey made a keenly analytical commentary of the sociological theories of Marx's "Das Kapital" and of the Hegelian nebulosities to which they were welded. He appealed for a more intellectual approach to Communism from original sources rather than from popular, second-hand authorities. The lecture provoked questions and a lively discussion. Dr. V. H. Webster, the president, thanked the rev. lecturer. Among those present were Rev. Fathers Winston and Johnston. Several new members signed the membership forms and were admitted to the club. The annual subscription is 2/6. To the Editor.

A large deputation waited cii the Minister for Child Welfare qn Wednesday, to urge the re-establishment of Government institutions for the treatment of delinquent youth. Rev.

Children's Ball, Kalgoorlie -Despite the cold and threatening na-
ture of the weather, there were more than 400 children in gala attire at the Kalgoorlie Town Hall on Thursday night, 17th. inst., at the annual St. John of God Children's Ball. A feature of the entertainment was the appearance of the finest set yet seen at any ball on the goldfields. This was a replica in miniature of the recent coronation of their Majesties, King George VI. and Queen Elizabeth. Headed by a scarlet clad herald, two toddlers representing Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret Rose, appeared, clad in court dress and wearing coronets. Their trains were borne by diminutive pages and maids of honour. Then came elder children representing the King and Queen, wearing elaborate crowns and bearing in their hands replicas of the orb, sceptre and other symbols of the Royal office, and their trains were, in turn, supported by exquisitely garbed pages and maids of honour. It was a most spectacular set, which drew applause from the spectators. There were so many children present that it was found necessary to c onduct the grand march in two sections'. The tnost striking of the many fine individual costumes was a r triking representation of "Johnny Walker." The judges were the Maycress of Kalgoorlie, Mrs. E. E. Brimage, Mrs. C. E. Eccles, and Mrs. J. Cramp. An energetic women's committee served the children with a fine supper. The organising arrangements were in the capable hands of Mr. P. J. Russell. Prize Winners. The pri,—. distributed by Rev. Father Kennedy, were awarded as follows: Prettiest senior set, Daffodil Time; prettiest junior set, Valentine; best carried out seNior set.

Community Concert Another very enjoyable entertainment was held in the Cathedral Hall on Monday night, when the brightest yet of the community concerts was staged. The conductor was Mr. Cyril Dudley, who wielded the baton very e ffectively and was popular in solo numbers. Miss Mona Corkhill again acted as pianist, and was her usual success. The attendance was very fair considering the inclemency of the weather. Messrs Rex Doyle and Mr. Meredith competed in the amateur trials, the former winning the prize with "A Little Dash of Dublin."

Beaconsfield The children's party on Saturday, June 19, was a very successful affair. The weather, contrary to all expectations, was delightful. The children enjoyed themselves thoroughly, and the contested. races were very keenly The handicapper left much to be desired and the stewards failed in their duty by not reprimanding those who crossed the course and caused interference, but there were no objections and everybody appeared satisfied. It was very gratifying to the Sisters and their lady assistants that it was such a success.

Kalgoorlie Catholics learnt with regret of the death of Mr E. E. Brimage, Mayor of Kalgoorlie. In all matters the late Mr. Brimage had shown himself open and fair minded, and his one thought was the progress of the Goldfields, in which he had unbounded optimism. The large concourse at his funeral, at which Catholics were r epresente-1 by Rev. Fathers Kennedy, Adm., .Grennan, and Brennan (Boulder), and Mr. P. J.

Entries for the State open tournaments to be held by the Western Australian Amateur Boxing and Wrestling Association constitute a record. It was announced by association officials that the number of entries would make it necessary to increase the number of nights on which contests would be held. The tournament will begin at the Unity Stadium on June 25. ,Among the entrants are several State title-holders, and one flyweight from Ora Banda, a middleweight from Bridgetown, a light-heavyweight and heavyweight from Yelbeni. The programme for the opening night, Friday, June 25, is as follows:— Boxing. Flyweight: A. Downes (Morey's) v. W. Robinson (Armadale). Bantamweight: E. Aurisch (Hickling) v. J. Vaughan (Morey-.$). Featherweight: A. Gosch (P. and 0.) v. E. A,; Cochrane (Davis). Lightweight: J. Gardner (Hickling) v. D. Follett (Armadale) Welterweight: G. Owens (Morey's) v. J. Thatcher (Armadale). Middleweight: L. Cope (P. and 0.) v G. King (Morey's). Light-heavyweight: W. Mackie Davis) v. J. W. McGilvray (Hickling).
Reni Menzies, the 37-year-old French endurance cyclist, whose entry into the 12 months' endurance battle was not seriously considered in the early stages has more or less thrown out a serious challenge to his Australian rival, Ossie Nicholson. Until a few weeks ago he was called upon to make his own arrangements as far as "trade" help—so essential in attempts of this nature—was concerned. The Frenchman now has the strong support of a noted firm, which is looking after his personal interests, and announces that he has now set himself a schedule of 180 miles daily with good weather and the twilight. On April 14, Nicholson had an advantage of 1,600 miles over Menzies, but up to June 2, the Frenchman had picked up 628.8 miles—he was 987.2 miles behind. When Nicholson started out recently he had ridden 24,091.7 miles since New Year's night, an average of 153.4 miles a day. For the first 6 days in June his total mileage was 950.5 miles—average of 158.4 miles a day. His longest ride was 206 miles, on May 21. "Ossie Nicholson is riding the worldfamed Malvern cycle.
Wrestling Middleweight: R. Jefferies (Swazi) v. E. Varner (Morey); D. G. Samios ( Swan) v C. R. Strickland (Swan). W elterweight: R. Cornish (Armadale) v. A. F. Wild (Swan). Lightweight: C. R.

The World of Sport (Continued from Page 19. ) -gles, our prospects of lifting the Cup next year are very dismal. Jack Crawford first flashed into prominence towards the end of 1927. He was a contemporary junior with Harry Hopman, and these were sent with Gerald Patterson to seek the Cup in 1928, but the crash came early—Australia was eliminated by Italy in the first round. That was the first trip and last year Australia got very close to winning, being defeated by the holders, Britain, 3-2. It was a great fight. Of course, Quist, Australia's No. 1, has not been himself on this tour, and that has appreciably weakened the team, but America always looked a stronger team, and their young ones are so good that I forecast for them a run of success in this great competition. It was in 1905 that Australasia first put in a team. It was led by Norman Brookes, considered by many good judges as the greatest player of He had with him a New all time, Zealander in Anthony Wilding. They put out Austria, but America wiped them off the map, 5--0--just as happened a few weeks back. It was in 1907 that Brookes and Wilding again made the trip and won the Davis Cup. It was a great two-man team. It was in the 1919 competition that Australasia last won the Cup when Norman Brookes—he played only in the Doubles, being 42 years of age— Gerald Patterson, and J. 0. Anderson, soundly defeated •a team from the British Isles. To-day the outlook is not bright. To me it seems that America and Germany are at present the leaders in world's tennis, and I place them in order of merit

A Great Catholic Novel - (Continued from Page 11.) away by his intense and ardent eyes: he could be one of the world's great sinners or one of its saints, who are all great. He is one of its saints. He had once killed a man in a sword-fight; and then stepped out of his old world into the way of passionate sanctity. He had been a strong and proud man. He was still a s trong man, but he had become a Capuchin friar. Fra Cristoforo hears Lucia's tale, and he goes off to meet Don Rodrigo. The meeting is like a thunder-storm; and the friar goes a way blaming himself for his escape of passion, while Don Rodrigo steps back frightened but He makes an still determined. attempt to have Lucia carried off Then Lucia is but is beaten. sent away to a convent in Monza Renzo is to go to for refuge. Milan and take directions from the Capuchins there. But he got badly mixed up in the famous bread riots, and a succession o f humorous misunderstandings ended with Renzo making out of M ilan for his life with a price on And all he had done his head. was to drink a little too much and talk nonsense. Lucia too is not She had vet out of the wood. been put under the protection of a nun who had the name of a Here grand lady in the parts. Manzoni breaks off to trace the story and the character ,of this wilful high-mettled girl forced her father into conventual life without the vestige of a vocation for it —an ironic reversal of many ater-dav tragedies. Gertrude of Annza was for the moment fascinated by the simple innocence of Lucia, but her loyalty gave w- iv before a new danger. For Don Rodrigo had grown impatient. His last throw was a desperate one. He called in the services of the great brigandrp- tentate. the Innominato. who set his minions moving to capture Lucia from her stronghold. Gertrude had already gone a long way towards her final shipwreck: she now spinelessly betrayed Lucia into the hands of her pursuers. But in the meantime the Innominato was undergoing an-sacute and excruciating soul-crisis. His subsequent meeting with Frederick Borromeo. nephew of St. Charles Borromeo. and an uncanonised saint himself. completely wrenched round the whole axis of his life. Lucia is suddenly free. Renzo, from over the Venetian order. heard rumours of the --eat plague that was decimating Milan. and became he straightway worried about Lucia. Finally he took the risk of arrest and raced to the city. The chapters on the plague make appalling but powerful reading. They quietly take their place with the passages in Thucydides and Boccaccio that rank as the great plague-descriptions of the w orld. A great Lazaretto had been established outside the city and w as being run by the Capuchins for the thousands of the dying. There Renzo found Fra Cristoforo, his gaunt frame eaten with labour and fever. but still tireless in his work for the stricken. There too he found Don Rodrigo, a poor wreck of a man with but a few stark hours ahead of him. There is pathos of the hest sort and not untouched by humour as Renzo forgives this dying man.
At last Lucia was found. She had taken the plague but with her sturdy peasant health had beaten it down. Still there were c omplications. Poor - Lucia, out of the midst of her mental agony on the night of her capture, had made a vow to Our Lady that if she were saved she would remain unmarried for life. So after that she was trying to blur out Renzo altogether from her mind. But it was very hard work. Then Renzo came and bludgeoned through all difficulties. He fetched Fra Cristoforo, who delicately drew Lucia's secret and told her that the vow was not made properly and that if she asked him he could dispense her in the name of the Church. And that is the last we hear of Fra Cristoforo. Somewhere beyond the horizon of the b ook he sinks down, an exquisite tear -wrenching man, to the death he had wanted. A few strokes will do for the rest of the story. A new Signor came to take over Don Rodrigo's castle and the load was lifted from Don Abhondio's fear-dogged mind. The pages in which Manzoni describes the "parocco's sudden change of face are the nearest thing to Shakespearean comedy that Italy has to offer. They are only surpassed by the high-seriousness of the p assage that describes the meeting of the Cardinal Frederick Borromeo with his lily--livered priest. The Bishop's words are terrible. It is typical of Manzoni's sanely humorous mind that he does not make his happy ending a conventionally happy ending. In life perfect bliss never descends on anyone, and so there is some *mall trouble when Renzo and Lucia settle down in the town of their choice. Lucia had been so much talked of, the dangers that Renzo had been through for her sake so bruited about. that the popular imagination drawn her as some more than mortal beauty. The reaction when they saw the-very ordinary looking peasant girl that she was made things rather difficult People looked at for Renzo. Lucia with politely raised brows until Renzo lost his temper and shifted to another town where Lucia was unheralded and therefore appreciated. And then the novelist leaves us with the merest cameo of the little family that came to Renzo and Lucia. It is a murmurouslv contented, a happy-subdued ending. But the important thing is that the story ends with life The triumphant and crescent. great novelists of the Balzac type leave us with a wreckage of human nature at the end of their stories; life is destroyed and only the tragedy of its end is beautiful. But Manzoni had that rare thing: an understanding of the C atholic philosophy of the comAnd I mean a comedy of edy. course not in the sense of something to split one's ribs at. but in that original and profound sense in which Dante's three great cantiche make up a Divine ComThat is in the fulfilment edy. of man's nature, with man's desires for life and happiness goaled at last and not destroyed. Embodiment of Catholic Philosophy. It would he trite to say that Manzoni's novel is one of the
world's best books; it is that, but in a particular and important way. It is probably the most finely achieved embodiment— outside Dante—of Catholic philosophy yet made in literature. That is the important thing. Let me take an example. Just as everybody has been saying that the only fault to be found with the rationalists is that they are not rational, so the only thing wrong with the realists of literature is that they are not real. Manzoni, writing with a right outlook and a right philosophy, is real in the sense that Zola and George Moore and the others could ;lever he. The realists did not begin with reality ; they began with that hoary and bewhiskered theory that life was material and therefore crude and agly at its base. For them a proper presentation of life was to be therefore materialistic and crude, ruthlessly stripped of our
emotional subliminations. Now, ,of cotirse, with materialism the joke of the day. the ground has been cut yawningly from under the realists' feet: they are not real. But you have only to read t wo chapters of Manzoni to see how real he. is. He belonged to the Romantic movement, but was completely free from its lice He of aesthetic intoxictaion. knew the world and its men .and women too well. He is penetrating but not cynical. If I may juggle about with a sentence of Carlyle's that refers properly to Shakespeare. Manzoni "fashioned his characters from the heart outwards." In the correspondence between Gerard Manley Hopkins and Coventry Patmore there is a remarkable letter in which Hopkins tells the elder poet that a great poem produced is like a great battle won for one's counjf other literary achievetry. ments count for this worth too we may say that Manzoni won a very big battle for his country; and gradually I think it will be seen that he won a greater battle for his faith.

"You know," David Thirkel said, with a boyish grin, "you're Marguerite, aren't you?" "You don't remember me?" after a pause, "No?" "Well, I used to call you 'freckles' and pull your curls over there behind that hedge, where Aunt couldn't see us." Into Marguerite's eyes dawned a light of recognition. "You're my cousin!" "Exactly. And now that we know each other again, not one of these present has shown any inclination to introduce us. How are you now ?" -I'm much better." She thanked him with a look feeling infinitely relieved and grateful for the unexpected kindness. "And this?" he said, turning to Joe. "Is my eldest son," said Marguerite, quite unconscious of the maternal pride which sounded in her voice. "Yes, I heard of your marriage. I rather admired my cousin for having the courage to follow the dictates of her heart. But He leaned over and drew Joe to his side, "the unhappiness it caused Aunt, I deeply regretted." He noticed the spasm of pain flit across the sensitive face. "Marguerite, I want you to know that Aunt had repented long ago of her hastiness. You will excuse me, but Mr. Macgregor is beckoning us." A very tired, weary looking Macgregor, who took his place at the table and watched with seemingly unseeing eyes the others taking their seats around the r oom. But he was noticing a great deal, the result being that he wished with all his heart he had let Marguerite return home at once after the funeral, as she had wanted. He took off his glasses and w iped them carefully before he put them on again. He adjusted them carefully; then picked up some papers. A fter he had spoken a few sentences befitting the occasion, he paused in the act of taking off a rubber band. "This is going to require a certain amount of time," he said, surveying the gathering. "The late Miss Parker expressed a wish that every detail of her affairs should be made known. And • as some of you have come from a distance, perhaps in great haste and inconvenience to yourselves. I would be only too willing to postpone the reading for a few hours." There were some there whose hearts warmed towards the look of genuine thoughtfulness and concern depicted on the rugged features ; but "Oh, no !" spoke Mrs. Lethbelt, quickly. "On the contrary. while we are all together. a more opportune time could never be chosen. Sit down.

Her mother's heavy voice sounded out. "The present time is quite convenient !" She glared around the room. The lawyer looked from one person to the other, and then back to Mrs. Lethbelt, who met his gaze unflinchingly from beneath her heavy brows. For the moment she seemed to have dominated them all. Her look defied him to do otherwise than to commence the reading, and seeing no signs of outward protest on any

The Feast of the Precious Blood is a .powerful reminder to us of the intrinsic malice of sin, which was atoned for by Jesus Christ at such a cost. The world treats sin very lightly, describing It much that is evil as "fun." is a monstrous pleasure that demands the Blood of Christ in reparation.

THE CABLED NEWS There are important signs that a real effort is being made at last to heal Anglo-German differThis may mean one of ences. t wo things: (1) A sincere effort towards the pacification of Europe, or (2) an attempt to detach Germany from her alliance with Italy. Many acute observers think that England is determined to fight Italy, and that the armaments race is being carried on principally. with this object in The rulers of England view. have not forgotten the humiliation laid on the country during the Abyssinian affair. Mussolini has been raised to the dignity of the prize bogey, and the semi-ofticial press does all it can to rouse in the English people an unreasoning hatred of the Duce, and a contempt for the Italian If Germany can be people. "bought off,' the Nvar will be much easier to win.

to bring a just peace into the world; it was aLn instrument intended to crystallise the Treaty of Versailles, and to leave no room for revision of its unjust s tatutes. Appal ently the recent realised Imperial Conference this, and its resolution regarding League reform was a gesture of real understanding- towards the (;ertnan people. Perhaps another reason for the Anglo-German discussions is the internal collapse of Soviet Russia. The U.S.S.R. was intended to be the ally of France and England in the inevitable war with Germany and Italy It is now perfectly clear that chaos reigns in Russia. and English and French statesmen are hastening to cut their losses and get out of the entanglement before it brings them trouble (as it very nearl!, did in Spain).

It was forced on them by a political clique in alliance with the At the elections extreme Reds of February. 1936, of 555,000 votes cast in the Basque country, 28 per cent voted extreme Left, 30 per cerfl for the Basque separatist party, and 42 per cent. for the Right. So, on the showing of the ballot, at least 42 per cent. of the Basques support Franco, and probably many more have been converted to his cause by the fart of the Red misrule. Many Liberals were so converted in other parts of Spain. The Reds continue to pr)voke Germany and Italy. hoping thus to precipitate a European war. But the agreement .between the four Powers was directed exact ly to this end. and it is good to see them in consultation over latest acts of violence-
in some places. But we should not let righteous disapproval of the violence blind us to the justice of the principle. It is right that the forces of law and order should be used to quell violence, but it is significant that Roosevelt's sympathies are with the men in their fight. The principle for which they are fighting was embodied in the N.I.R.A., which was torpedoed by the Supreme Court. Another example of the f ar-sighted wisdom of the great President who, from the moment of his installation, has consistently championed the cause o f the Forgotten Van.
