It turned out to be a good year. and Rastus had enough money to pay his account at the store and still have some left over.

Rev. Father Regan, of Leonora, was a visitor to Kalgoorlie during the week, and was the guest of Very Rev. Father Kennedy, at St. Mary's Presbytery. Rev. Father Ahern, of Coolgardie, returned to the fields during the week, after a short sojourn in the metropolitan area. Rev. Father McLaughlin, C.SS.R., is at present in Kalgoorlie, conducting the retreat for the Sisters of St. John of God.

On Monday evening, June 21, a very pleasant evening was tendered by the Sisters of St. John of God to the committee of the St. John of God's Hospital Ball. Despite the inclemency of the weather, there was a fine attendance and interesting items were rendered by Mr. and Mrs. O'Dea, Miss Stinson, and Mrs. Troupe, who acted as pianiste. Before the distribution of the sumptuous supper, the secretary of the committee, Mr. P. J. Russell, read the balance sheet, which disclosed a very satisfactory result and thanked those who had so ably assisted him, The presentation of the cheque was made by Very Rev. Father Kennedy, who thanked, on behalf of the Sisters and himself, all who had aided in the very fine results achieved. On Tuesday afternoon, in St. Mary's School room, at another very well attended and very pleasing function, Rev. Father Kennedy handed to the Sisters of St. Joseph the proceeds of the Children's Ball. Again the balance sheet was read by Mr. Russell, who attributed most of the success to his ever willing band of co-workers.
The President informed the meeting that His Grace wished the League to take full charge of the Catholic Ball this year, and the executive had decided to do so. They had been fortunate in being able to obtain the Government House Ballroom for August 24. Most of our people know what a delightful setting this hall makes for such a function. The floor is of the best and other appointments are all that the most fastidious could desire. The League intends to make this year's Catholic Ball the best ever, so that patrons are assured of a happy time.

A surgeon visited a country hospital to perform an operation, and while the patient was under the anaesthetic a wooden building opposite the hospital happened to catch fire. It blazed furiously.

"A Priest Warns the Church" Sequel to Offensive Wheatgrewer Article is informative, impartial and cerFOLLOWING the tainly non-sectarian. publication of an extremely offen-
sive article in "The Wheatgrower," a protest from Mr. D. J. O'Leary, of Walgoolan, was given proper publicity in a subsequent issue of the paper. Doubtlessly the Editor received a deluge of other letters also. Replying to Mr. O'Leary's plaint, the Editor wrote: "The feature, 'The World Today,' has been running in the `Wheatgrower' for years. In it are included articles on all topics of general interest, and the article complained of by Mr. O'Leary was published as a topic of general interest, certainly not as an attack by this paper on the Catholic Church. "Some time ago we published an article entitled 'The End of Socialism in Russia,' which was deeply resented by W.A. Communists who in a letter to the `Wheatgrower' denied the statements made in this article. "This, and the article to which Mr. O'Leary takes exception, were reprinted from the 'Readers' Digest.' an American publication, containing a condensation of the outstanding articles appearing during the month in American magazines. The 'Readers' Digest' has an international reputation, it publishes articles representing all phases of opinion, and on all- subjects under the sun. It
"Mr. O'Leary has allowed his heart to betray his head. One swallow does not make a summer. and one article does not amount to a confe ion of faith. In the past, 'The Wheatgrower' has published articles on Douglas Credit, Liberation, and a host of other debatable subjects. According to Mr. O'Leary-'s reasoning, because we publish an article on, say, Douglas Credit, the paper endorses Douglas Credit. The supposition is ridiculous; likewise the supposition that because 'The Wheatgrower' publishes an article on the Catholic Church, it is opposed to the Catholic Church. "The article complained of, therefore, was taken from a reliable source, and was published in the `Wheatgrower" as a matter o f public interest. "The `Wheatgrower' very much regrets that the article caused offence to Catholics. The article was published in good faith, as a matter of public interest, and certainly with no deliberate intention of offending Catholic opinion, or attacking the Catholic Church." A vehement action was taken by Catholics in the Trayning branch of the Wheatgrowers' Union, when its 15 Catholic members resigned in a body :1 a protest.

We congratulate our Melbourne Catholic contemporary, "The Advocate," on the formal opening of its new buildings on Wednesday, June 2, when His Grace Dr. Mannix performed the rare ceremony—in Australia—of blessing a newspaper office. His Grace, who was accompanied by the Right Rev. Monsignor J. Lonergan, Adm., was assisted by the Rev. F. Moynihan, managing editor. and by the Rev. J. Hannan, D.D., and Rev. J. Murtagh. All the members of the staffs were present, together with the staffs of the Catholic Truth S()ciety and the Catholic missions and the Catholic correspondence course offices. In honour of the occasion the "Advocate" published a special supplement, and the illustrations show us a very modern edifice with an extensive and up-to-date printery. There is an imposing entrance and three floors, and the rich panelling in Queensland walnut is a special feature. The "Advocate" made its first appearance on February 1, 1868, just seven years before "The Record" was established. The new "Advocate" Press building is the seventh office of this journal and press. In the early stages of its history "The Advocate" was printed by outside printers. After a number of years, and after three changes of address, it was printed at 284 Lonsdale-street with plant acquired by its proprietors. When it passed to diocesan control it continued to be printed by that plant in those premises. In 1921 premises were erected in Lonsdaleplace for "The Advocate." Five years later. in 1926, an enterprising forward move was made, new and more efficient machinery

Nevertheless, when Mr. R. D.

Christian Brothers' College in Retrospect
LL over the State, Old Boys of "Christians" are famous for discussing the glories of their Alma Mater with obvious pride and gratitude. They follow with the zest of school-boys her achievements in the scholastic sphere and on the field of sport. Every milestone in her history is known to them; and as year succeeds y ear and records of progress mount up, they rejoice that their old school is still a vital force in the land. Her successes are their successes—her disappointments theirs. And, as the present-day pupils of the College, looking back with pride and reverence to the great deeds of days gone by, share in the lustre that her alumni have shed on her, so the Old Boys with unstinted enthusiasm glory in her triumphs of to-day. It is now close on half a century since the Christian Brothers were established in Perth; and from humble beginnings the College has grown to the magnificent educational institution of

genial atmosphere had been felt by the Christian Brothers, and in that year His Lordship Bishop Gibney had offered them a fine gift of 500 acres of land in the Helena River district for the purpose of a boarding College in the country. In the same year the question of purchasing Point Heathcote, at the junction of the Swan and Canning rivers, was raised in that connection. This latter site was eventually bought; but, owing to the Government's resumption of some of the land, it was decided to give up the idea of establishing a College there. At a favourable opportunity the property was sold to the Government. The problem of coping with the ever-increasing numbers lay heavily on the Christian Brothers ; this, together with the oftrepeated request of the late Archbishop, Most Rev. Dr. Chine, gave added stimulus to their efforts to acquire a suitable site for the College. In recent years headmasters, Rev. Brother Conlon, Rev. Brother Power, and

The Totalitarian State
Saturday, July 3, 1937.
Chaotic Divorce Debate
The Marriage Bill to amend the divorce laws of England, which was introduced by Mr. A. P. Herbert, and recently passed by the House of Commons, will be remembered by English-speakCatholics as the most bitter and distorted piece of humour ever perpertrated by Mr. Herbert. The debate on the second reading of the Bill in the House of Lords gives rise to sad and disappointing- reflections also. The Archbishop of Canterbury gave a regrettable display of dual personality, stating his position first as a politician and later as a churchman. As a politician he thought that greater licence for divorce would tend to remedy the moral abuses of the existing laws. As a churchman he considered divorce and remarriage after divorce as inconsistent with the principles of Christ and with the latvs of the Church. Notwithstanding, he then proceeded to state that he could not honestly vote against the second reading. This is an intolerable position. Is the Archbishop the servant of God or the servant of Mammon? Lord Snell talked fatuously about the impossibility of "binding changing human nature to the standards of a bygone age," and it is not reported that a single bishop dubbed him for an illiterate dolt.
That they support the Totalitarian State is the absurd charge recently made against the Catholic Hierarchy and the Catholic Press. Anyone who has the slightest acquaintance with Papal pronouncements on the social question, with the pastoral letters of the Bishops of Germany, Belgium and Spain, know this immediately for a malicious lie in regard to the Hierarchy. To say that the Catholic Press Over-rides the directions of its spiritual superiors is equally ridiculous, particularly in regard to those publications The Bishop of Durham expressed the extraordinary view that which are the official organs of dioceses. To quote such authors greater divorce facility would bring the law of England into deepas Mr. Christopher Dawson and Mr. Arnold Lunn as apologists er and truer harmony with the law of Christ. for the Totalitarian State is, in effect, to confess invincible ignorLord Dawson of Penn regretted that the Bill had not included inveterate alcoholance of their philosophy and their entire literary output.

Circular Letter of His Grace the Archbishop
The Panegyric. A fter His Grace had performed the last absolution, the Ven. Archdeacon Hayes paid a feelmg tribute to the late Father Finnegan, and expressed the high esteem in which he was held by His Grace the Archbishop, who had travelled a long distance to celebrate the Requiem, and by the priests and people who were present. The late priest was one of those zealous ministers of the Gospel who devoted all his energies and talents to the work of the ministry, and in this respect was one of the most single-minded men he the preacher had ever met. With him, his religion was evervthin. It occupied all his attention, and the fruits of it were There everywhere in evidence. parishioners his in Queen's Park had good reason to know his In w orth and to feel his loss. had he the last fifteen years w orked unspairingly amongst them, both at Queen's Park.

Furthermore, I recommend that a course of sermons, or explanatory readings of the Encyclical be given in the Parochial Church, and that wherever possible courses of lectures should be given on the subject by chosen capable speakers, wherever facilities for such lectures, in the nature of Catholic Clubs or Societies, exist.
VII II
Finally, as the Holy Father has expressly stated that, in the struggle against Communism, he places all his trust in prayer,I wish above all that the Religious Communities in the Parish, in particular, and the laity in general, be exhorted to off er up their prayers and sacrifices in union with this intention of the Common Father of Christendom. In carrying out these instructions you will not only be cooperating with the Universal Church in combating the errors of Communism, but you will be doing your part to provide an eff ective remedy for those evils which the atheistic forces of C ommunism falsely claim to cure.

Side by side with the secular education of our children by the good Sisters had gone on this t remendous preparation for the Sacra. Twenty-six of the sixty-eight ment. children from the farther parts of the parish, Brunswick Junction, Roelands, I3enger, Burekup, Waterloo and Wellington Mills, had been billetted at the Convent for the previous fortnight, and it can be safely assumed that their faces had not always worn such beatific expressions, nor had they been so quiet as on this pleasant Sunday afternoon, They were made at home during their stay by the local Convent school children, who entertained them each evening with music, singing and dancing. The little visitors returned to their homes at the end of the fortnight with happy hearts and many p leasant memories of the good time s pent with the Sisters. Impressed by the urgent need for a church large enough to accommodate t he people, many of whom knelt on the gravelled surface of the churchyard, the Archbishop visited the parish extensively during the following week and ma-de an appeal to almost e very parishioner for assistance in that purpose. The labours of h is Grace were rewarded in a great measure, when at the end of a very strenoous week he was able to read through a lengthy list of donations generously promised.
York A fter a lengthy absence from print, the York notes are to appear on the "inky way." Silence does not necessarily mean parochial inactivity, for parishioners have ben busy about "many things" since the beginning of success the year. The splendid Ball and other the March of functions a matter is of ancient history. noNwor has the -one thing necessary- been forgotten, as the beautiful church of St. Patrick has been comfortably filled every Sunday. Not only has the attendance at Sunday Mass improved considerably, but the formation of the Sacred Heart Sodality for women and the Holy Name Society for men, promises to be moderately successful. Euchre. The euchre and rummy party held every fortnight continues to be both a social and financial success. The party is held in St. Patrick's Hall e very alternate Monday evening, and now attracts an attendance of over fifty. Prize Packet. The prize packet promises to be a great success. It will be conducted over a period of twenty weeks. Cards must be handed in before the first week in July. Spring Ball. The time for the grand Spring Ball has been fixed for August 25, in the York Town Hall. It is expected that a good contingent of ex-Yorkites and Perth dance fans will make the trip now that there is a beautiful bitumen road all the way. See York, the prettiest town in the West, in the moonlight. Debutantes will be presented for the first time for some years. Bridge. Since the last bridge party at the Presbytery there have been repeated requests for continuation. There will be another on Monday night. Personal. On Tuesday, June 22, the marriage of Joseph Herman Prunster and Irene Therese Bevis was solemnised with Nuptial Mass. The choir, under Mrs. Stone's leadership, sang the Mass and rendered appropriate music.

Beaconsfield House Party. Don't forget the house party at Mr. Frank Arbuthnott's residence in Rosestreet, South Fremantle, on Friday next, July 9. We regret to say that there have been no more offers of house parties up to date, When reading the notes ot other parishes it is apparent how few our entertainments are, and how far we are behind others in our efforts to pay our debts. Our euchres, unfortunately, are not improving, in spite of the fact that the ladies are doing their utmost to make them a success. The Busy Bee. T he rain last Saturday afternoon made any outdoor work impossible. We have been fortunate in securing the services of such an able worker as Mr. Jack O'Connor, of Fothergill-street. He is an adept at quarrying, and so he ought to be considering that he spent four years working on the Mundaring Water Scheme. Thanks to his assistance, the lawn looks a distinct possibility now. Still we could do with a few more helpers to prepare the ground for the tennis court that we hope to put down within the next year. Mr. William Griffin, of Stephenstreet, died during the week. He has been an invalid for years, so his death was not unexpected. We tender our sincere sympathy to his bereaved wife and children.

Mr. Lane quoted the Encyclical, "Divini Redemptoris,' in those passages outlining the nature of Communism, the reasons for its growth, the Pope's demand for a just wage, .and for provision for sickness, unemployment and old age. Mr. Mountjoy had made many prophecies as to what would happen if the Right won in Spain. This was typical of the Communist outlook. It was a dream and had no practicability about it. It had been tried in Paraguay and Russia and had failed. Mr. Mountjoy himself had confessed to the failure of Russian Communism. If monopoly were checked and the hoarding of commodities prevented, a long step would be taken towards remedying the disorders of the social system. The following acknowledgment was received..by Mr. M.

It was there, however, he joined the Roman Catholic Church, owing, he further states, to the study of controversial writings, principally "Middleton's Free Enquiry," and the works of Bossuet, It appears that his conversion was sincere, but whether it ever took complete hold of his spiritual life or was mainly intellectual it is hard to say. However that may be, his father was horrified and the authorities of Magdalen took his name off the hooks. We must remember that this was in 1753, when he was It only sixteen years of age. must have' looked like lunacy to his people, considering the position of the Catholic Church in England in the middle of the eighteenth century.

The WORLD of SPORT -
Boxing Now who is the world's champion: America says Joe Louis, but Germany says definitely that Schmelling is, and England is a bit with Germany, while the International Boxing Union has decided to recognise the Schmelling-Farr clash at White City, London, on July 30, as world's champion. Well, one supposes that it will work All one desires to see out all right. is that the German Schmelling gets his Is crack at someone for the title.

England had so many "false-alarms" in the past, that it has grown on one to expect defeat when England's hope is pitted against world class, and it must be said, as the stage is set today, Schmelling is world's class. Ponder his thrashing of Joe Louis, who belted Braddock into pulp. I am tipping that Schmelling will X.O. Tommy Farr from the Welsh mines, and then, in common with others, I want to see Schmelling and Louis "put 'em up" in the same ring. But more of that anon.
About Schmelling
When Max Schmelling went back to Germany from America, after the fight in which he lost the world title to Sharkey in 1932, he told his compatriots, "I will win back the championship." So far he has not succeeded, but he has gone as far as possible. Really he should have met Braddock and almost certainly he would have put "Old-man" Braddock to sleep. He is heading to redeem his promise, but will he be given the chance of redemption? When he finally faces Louis—and I think it will come about —what a concourse will he there to see the Negro and German mix it. It will be in the nature of a "grudge fight.' Starting as a featherweight, Max Schmelling gained steadily in skill and weight, until he progressed to win, after some years, the German heavyweight amateur championship. He soon turned "pro.," but what a shock there was for him and his countrymen when he went by the short cut route of the K.0 .to oblivion, when an Englishman, Gipsy Daniels, put him on the end of the father of punches— or so it struck Max—as it struck him! What a fall was there, my masters. It might easily have discouraged any other, but not so Maxie, who has as his nom-de-fight "The Black Uhlan." He set about eradicating his faults and he worked very hard—he had the reputation of a German to win back. Did he do it? Ask Joe Louis! When in his Fatherland, this German, who is on the way to make good his words, "I will win back the championship,- lives in the country about 30 miles from Berlin, and he is the husband of the well-known German film star, 'Anna Ondra. In the ring Max follows very determinedly a set line of action. 'From the first to the sixth round," he says, "I usually fight without spurt or temper, and I wait patiently for the moment to deliver a right punch into which I put every ounce in me. I can never warm to my work before the sixth round." Which seems to me a pity. There's nothing like getting it over early— You see, the other when you can fellow might "warm up"—even more -so.

13st. ltilb. When he defeated Joe Louis, the end per the K.O. came in the 12th. round. There were 40,000 present, while 50,000 watched Louis beat Braddock. Compare these figures with the 145,000 who watched the second Dempsey-Tunney fight. 44:
Amateur Title Events A tine evening's entertainment was witnessed at the Unity Stadium last Friday night, when the West Australian Amateur Boxing and Wrestling Association conducted the first night of their open championships. Once again a large and enthusiastic crowd was in attendance, and once again they were not disappointed, The bouts were hard and clean, and both winner and loser knew they had been fighting when they left the ring. The most exciting bout of the night ( and there were many of them), was between the bantam weights, E. Aurish (8.5) and J. Vaughan (8.3). It was fought at a terrific pace and the issue was in doubt till the final bell; but the decision in favour of Vaughan was a popular one.

Long Matches. Is it Marathon matches in tennis? Here's my entry: The players were Gerald Patterson, of Australia, and Charles Kingsley, the ex-Davis Cup player, of Britain. It was Patterson's last Wimbledon in 128. The match commenced at 5.15 and finished at 8.45! Patterson lay down in the fourth 5:et and it was thought he wculd not resume, but in the final set he was all there with his cannonball service. Patterson won, but J. Woodall (9.9) and E.

C.B.C. Activities SOCIAL FUNCTION AT THE COLLEGE. A very enjoyable bridge and rummy evening was held at the Christian Brothers' College on Thursday, June 24. The ladies on the committee and the boys co-operated to decorate the two libraries for the occasion. The Principal, Rev. Brother Foley, after enumerating the conditions of play, declared the function open. Play ceased at 10.30, and after the prizes were presented to the successful players, the ladies served an attractive supper. The bridge prizes were won by Mrs. A. Davies and Mr. G. Ardagh for the ladies' and gentlemen's highest score, while the hidden number prizes were w on by Mr. E. Rogers and Mrs. McGrath. The rummy prizes were won by Mr. W. Fisher and Mrs. K. Hough.

She sat down in the cane chair and chaffed her mother's Working so, she fell hands. And the mother slept. asleep. In the early hours of the morning she awoke, the terrible blinding fever gone, and with a wondrous freshness of body and mind upon her. "Which only proves, my child," whispered the mother to - the sleeping girl, "that you never invoke the Mother of God in vain." She examined the face which now in repose served to throw into harsh relief the dark rings of weariness around the eyes, a pathetic droop to the lips which used to curl at the ends, and the mother with all a solicitous care and concern for her child, fell to plotting and planning how she could bring the curve back to those lips. Her pride will be wrecking her chance of happiness, thought the mother and glanced over to a vase of choice blossoms, thinking gratefully of Paul Delaney, who never failed to keep her supplied with fruit and flowers.

"That makes seven," peering into the hilly. "Now, one little one for Phil." he added, carefully adjusting a suspicious looking piece of meat in the net. Macgregor sat very still and watched. He had come down to Marguerite O'Donnell's home for a well-earned holiday. It had not needed her persuasions to make him leave his office at the busiest time of the year, for the longing to be near someone who had belonged so intimately to a little lady was strong within him. Often he talked to Marguerite over the morning tea, laid so tastefully every morning in the summer house. Of everything he talked, save one thing, of a letter which had been forwarded to him from the bank, three days after Miss Parker's funeral. A letter which told him many things. a letter which had left the rugged old Scot rooted to his chair, his grey eyes fixed intently and unseeingly on the edge of his ink-box. And suddenly it was as if someone had taken a clean cloth and wiped it across a misty blurred window, for there dawned in the old eyes an awakening look of understanding, and the sudden realisation of what he had lost through his own unconscious blindness siezed him unmercifully. He picked up the long envelope and something fluttered from it. A pressed bunch of

The word "church" from kuriakon (doma) Greek the building which is public a means set apart for public Christian worship and in which all the faithful may assemble for the offering up of the Holy Sacrifice for the reception of the Sacraments, and for participation in other liturgical functions. Q. In what special- sense is the Church the Lord's House for Catholics? A. Because Christ appears in it to renew in an unbloody manner the Sacrifice He offered up on Mount Calvary, to give Himself to us as the supernatural food of our souls in Holy Communion to set up His throne in the Tabernacle, and to be con tinuallv present as God and Man for our consolation and sanctification. O. How should the faithful look upon their parish church (or whatever church serves their spiritual needs)? A. The Church is for the faithful the centre of all supernatural life.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK. Sunday: We do not like to be contradicted, but at the same time, is it not in the hope of being contradicted that we sometimes speak ill of ourselves? Monday: The heart that unites itself to the heart of God cannot prevent itself from loving and meekly accepting the arrows launched against it by the hand of God.—St. Francis de Sales. Tuesday: What do we seek in t his world, where one can breathe ,only an air poisoned by so many crimes? I beseech you that you keep your door closed to every creature, and remain in the secret place of your heart.— St. Paul of the Cross.

W ednesday: Never are we so near to the Blessed Virgin as when near the Cross. 14member that, in our measure, we all have to suffer, and suffering must either sour or sweeten us, according as we face it. God means it to sweeten us and to teach us pity. So it worked in Mary our Mother; so may it ever xvork in us.—Rev. E. Eaton. Thursd.ay: It is unreasonable for a man to expect his wife to continue to look a fairy princess or a film star after marriage when she has a home to run and manage. She has a great deal of hard work to do now—cooking, cleaning, and scrubbing-and, therefore, she cannot always retain the artificial lustre of a Hollywood complexion. Friday: In order not to resist the coming of the Holy Ghost we must imitate the Apostles in their sincere acknowledgment of their own powerlessness. and their entire detachment from all creatures, even from God Himself as far as regarded their feelings, for it was by depriving them of His Holy and Divine Presence at the Ascension that the Son of God prepared them for the reception of the Holy Ghost.—St. Louise de Marillac. Saturday: Valerius Maximus relates that when Coriolanus was besieging Rome the prayers of his friends and all citizens were insufficient to make him desist; but as soon as he beheld his mother, Veturia, imploring him. he could no longer refuse, and immediately raised the siege. But the prayers of Mary with Jesus are so much more powerful than those of Vetttria. as the love and gratitude of this Son for His most dear Mother are greater.—St. Alphonsus.

This is always likely where weekly comments are given on a situation which For changes from day to day. the German Foreign Minister cancelled his trip to London; the German newspapers are railing against English hypocrisy, and t ne English newspapers are railing against German pugnacity. And both are right, up to a point. The "crisis" is purely a newsAll paper-manufactured one. that has happened has been that Germany and Italy have withdrawn their ships from the naval cordon around Spain, rather than expose them to the danger of further attacks. They had a perfect right to do this. But the Press, as usual, envisages hostile acts and the danger of war, although Anthony Eden said in the House of Commons that most of the rumours were without foundation. Britain and France, as Germany veP knew, could not agree to an hostile demonstration off Valencia, because it wguld have been a complete reversal of their former policy of assisting the Reds. A sudden volte-face would have roused such an outcry among the Liberal-cum-Pacifists at home that the Government would have had difficulty in living through it. Such a reversal of policy was made during the halo-Abyssinian war. and it cost Sir Samuel Hoare his posiBrition as Foreign Minister. tain knew that, though legally correct, it was unreasonable to demand an enquiry into the alleged attack on the "Leipzig." It was unreasonable because everyone knows that the Red Government of Spain is a propaganda factory, and tells lies more often than it tells the truth. The German attitude was the traditional one of the bully; the British attitude the characteristic one of sitting on the fence. And the Britain clash was inevitable. made her big- mistake at the beg-inning of the war, when she decided officially to preserve neutrality, but unofficially to help t he Reds. If she had encouraged General Franco in his efforts t o suppress anarchy, she would now have the promise of the friendship of a Spain united and powerful. She decided to oppose Franco and adopt the policy of keeping the country divided and w eak. The probability now is that Spain, united and powerful, will be hostile to England and add to the dangers to which her Mediterranean interests arc exposed.

W e are told that Britain has protested to Franco against the milling of the "Hunter," and that his reply is ,unsatisfactory. W e are not told that Franco protested to Britain six weeks ago, when the "Espana" struck a mine. He said that Nationalist Spain held England to be indirectly responsible for the trag- • edy, which would not have occurred had the British Navy not broken the blockade of ( See "The Times," 15/5/37.) Britain is now actively opposing the blockade of Santander. We read ( "West," 24/6/37) that a British destroyer escorted the "Marion Moller," containing 1,700 refugees from Santander to a French port. But the refugees were not allowed to land because there militiamen on were Basque board. Britain's non-intervention policy has from the start been somewhat of a farce. Officially she recognises the belligerency of neither party she does not recegnise Franco's Government at all, and yet she protests to it about "incidents." Not recognising its belliger('ncy. she helps to break blockades imposed by it, and escorts Spanish 'ships (belonging to Spanish companies domiciled in London. and thus permitted to fly the Union Jack) into the safety zone, within the t hree-mile limit. Some montlis ago a Spanish ship. carrying arms from America, wa.; arrested lw France's navy. in spite of being disguised as a knI:wn English merchant vessel. When arrested. it sent out signals asking the help of the British Navy. When a mem)e:- of the House of Commons protested against the ruse. Mr Eden said that it was a "well-recognised right of belligerents" to disguise their ships. So here we have the British Government recognising belligerency fur certain purposes, and refusing it for others. There is no comment in the Press on the arrest by Franco of a Russian vessel carrying arms into Almeria. Think of the outcry if it had been a Germau vessel carrying arms into Cadiz! Nazism. The Nazi Government continues in its savage persecution o f the Church. Its ultimate aim is the complete extirpation of Christianity, though it passes itself off for some purposes as the protector of Christianity against "The

Hol,:hf,‘ ism. Don't believe it for a moment! Nazism has no more inw-,11ity than Bolshevism. I suspect that the ideal Nazi State w ould very closely resemble the ideal Bolshevik State, and that in both Christianity would be extinct. When Catholics are urged by Communists to unite ‘vith them against Nazism, and wooed H- Nazis to join the fight .• g-;Iiiist Communism. the only re'l they can make with safety is. "a plague on both your Iiouses."
