Two hefty-looking men who had just finished work of a pretty rough kind, were dining in one of the all-night restaurants. One of them was sawing violently at a piece of steak, each mouthful At being won by sheer hard work. last he came to a particularly tough piece, and, turning to his companion he said in a hoarse whisper: "'Tain't the food what does yer good 'ere, Joe; it's the blinkin' exercise." a!, Stonybroke was not in the jolliest of moods.

''There are many r,!asons,- answered the farmer, "why a cow does not have Some are born without horns. horns, and 'do not have any until the Others are late years of their life.

"Do you mean to say," inquired the magistrate, "that such a physical wreck as he is gave you that black eye?" -Sure, your honour," replied the ill- used wife; "he wasn't such a wreck till I got this black eye!" An asylum patient who had been discharged cured was found one day at his old job of delivering messages with a hand barrow. The villagers were pleased to see him again, and a few stupid youths :•tarted to bait him. "Hulloa! How does it feel to be Oaft?" The ex-patient was equal to the occasion: "Look here, you chaps, I hold something that none o' your kind ever held. I hold a certificate that I'm sane!"

BY REV. DR.

Henry VIII's "New Church' "Things as they are,- Victoria: Y ou have often said that Henry VIII. founded the Church of England; but he no more did so than he created the English State. That cannot pass muster. But let us view the grounds you advance to justify your statement. During his reign the Church broke with the Papacy, but it was the ancient church of the English people that did so. The admitted break with the Papacy meant the cessation of the ancient papal church of the English people, and the nonpapal Church to be established henceforth was a new thing altogether. Meantime, not the Ancient Church, but Henry VIII. himself broke with the Papacy, and at his dictation, Parliament imposed a similar defection upon both the clergy and laity of England. To Henry, therefore, the new Church of England owed its origin. •

The Reconciliation with Rome. How do you account for the fact that it was the Ancient Church of England which was reconciled with Rome during the reign of Mary? The ancient Church of England was not reconciled with Rome during the reign of Mary. Those who had left the ancient Church and had accepted the new schismatical Church set up by Henry, abandoned the new Church and returned to the old. Mary repudiated Henry's _ schism, and Parliament abolished the unjustified measures he had forced upon it. You wish to argue that, because Mary reconciled the Church with Rome, it had remained same the ancient Church all along. But if the United States sought reconciliation with the Throne of England to-day, that would not be proof that it had remained ever a British colony! Why hark back to Henry VIII., when you ought to know that when Mary died the Church was in communion with Rome, and a Papal Legate was Archbishop of Canterbury?

Because, as you have just admitted, Mary had to reconcile the Church with Rome, suppressing constitution the new brought in by Henry and restoring the old. Why appeal to the f act thp.t the Church was restored to Communion with Rome under Mary as if that gave any r ight to ignore the fact that it w as not in such communion prior to her accession. If commun- ion with Rome was the test as to whether the ancient Church s till prevailed or not, then from 1 534, when Henry broke away from Rome until Mary's act of r econciliation, ancient the - Church had ceased to function in England.

Hugel did not doubt the Christian faith. As is well known, Von Hugel was a leading Catholic layman who never left the Catholic fold. That bears out what I say. He had the sense to know that his finding a difficulty to solve a problem was no argument that no solution could be found.

It is precisely on this point that Modernism fails; and, as I have said, Von Hugel was at one time subject to the Modernistic influence. In view of this, do you still maintain that such a matter is so easily explained as you would, apparently, have us believe? I do. It is a greater problem to explain Von Hugel's attitude than to explain the difficulty which caused him so much conThere is no ,room for cern. doubt as to the fact that Jesus His establish did definitely Church as Hi Kingdom on earth! and any notion that the Apostles were not aware of this, and that they had the idea that Christ was to return in the near future in order to establish it is absurd.

forbidden, spies abound everywhere, a "general line" has been established to which all must adhere, and a monstrous bureaucratic tyranny grinds down a people who can live only in sheer terror. It must be remembered that, to the old Bolsheviks, the Dictatorship of the Proletariat— the first step, we are told, to Communism—did not mean the iron rule of one party, and still l yss that of one man. Trotsky, therefore, believes that Communism—which is, and must be. international—can only be saved by a successful revolution elsewhere. Stalin believes in the possibility of achieving Communism in Soviet Russia firs-t, and in the world afterwards— but the question remains, how is he going to dispose of the omnipotent state which he has created? Perhaps Marshal Voroschiloy. if he survives the present purge, will answer that question. Stalin himself has prepared the way for that by reviving Russian nationalism, which, incidentally, is also anathema to a true Marxist. There has been a huge increase in military expenditure. Moreover he has disciplined revolutionary fervour to military purposes. Now what could he better for Voroschilov, if he is, as I suspect. the potential Napoleon of the Russian Revolution? * One thought remains to me when T try to contemplate a system which has for its object the complete annihilation of human personality. Humanly speaking it does not contain much hope, but I submit it for what it is worth. It is this: Perhaps Communism is not Russia's last word. In the meantime, dear reader, don't forget that the prayers affer Mass are said for suffering Rlle• sia. She needs them.

religious freedom is revealed in an interview granted Frank L. Kluckholm by Governor Victor Fernandez Manero, of Tabasco. Governor Manero permits the people of Tabasco "to practise privately," but their religion "makes no commitments about permission for Mass or other rites of the church," and does not propose to repeal "that provision of the State Constitution which permits only married priests to officiate." In other words, "Catholics in Tabasco may have the services, if any, only of priests who have violated their oaths and broken the discipline of the Church which requires them to be celibate." The fact that such a statement is called conciliatory "suggests the extremity of the persecution to which the Church had been subjected" in Tabasco under Garrido Canabal.

unions are general throughout every industrialised country, it is easily forgotten that the old Catholic Aide Guilds in which masters and men united to promote the interests of the trade and the welfare, spiritual and t emporal, of all concerned in it, w ere directly inspired by the Church and were swept away by the so-called Reformation. From that time onwards the anomaly of a large poor class in t he midst of national opulence grew more and more glaring, until it was consummated in the 19th. century by all the horrors o f the newly-born industrial system. With the advent of machinery and big factories, the system we know as capitalism t,i.e., the ownership and operation of the majority of the means of production by a few persons. who pay the lowest possible wages, obtain the highest possible profit, and secure the maximum of economic domination) became firmly established. The large army of small dispossessed land-owners had become either sweated hirelings on the large estates or had been dragooned into the cities to become the host of wage-slaves in the new industrial order. The pitiless conditions at the commencement of the 19th. century, when even children were conscripted for industry, gave birth to the modern trade union. They were intended to be associations of employees banded together for mutual benefit and protection, with a special view to bargaining collectively, with their employers. In contrast with the old guilds. here was the real beginning of the "class struggle"— the proletariat against the CapiThey were greeted nattalist. urally bv fierce opposition from the governing classes and Severely penalised by the law. Owing largely to the French Revolution a General Act was passed in the last year of the 18th. century which prohibited all combinaAfter considtions of workers. erable agitation this Act was repealed in 1824. and the Unions began to expand. although they were not legalised until 1871. The "Workers' Charter." What was the attitude of the Church during this period of industrial disorder and revolutionary spirit. Twenty years after T rade Unionism was legalised in England, Pope Leo XIII. issued "Rerum his great Encyclical. Novarum." Curiously enough . from the following Vedr. 1892. the Unions began to gain steadily in While s trength and numbers. this development was normal enough after the "depression" of the '80's, the influence of the "Workers' Charter" cannot be disregarded. No Socialist in Eng-

land more stoutly defended the right of workers to combine than the Roman Pontiff. "Such unions," wrote the Pope, "should be suited to this our age—an age of wider education, of different habits and of far more numerous requirements in daily life. It is gratifying to know that there are actually in existence not a few associations of this nature, consisting either of workmen alone or of workmen and emplo-ers together; but it were greatly to be desired that they become more numerous and more efficient. . . . The Church recognises and affirms the right of employers and workers to form industrial associations, whether separately or together, and sees in them an efficacious means towards the solution of the social question. She considers that under existing circumstances the formation of these industrial associations is morally necessary." Forty years later. in 1931, our present Holy Father. Pope Pius X I.. issued his Encyclical. "Quadragesimo Anno." the principles governing trade unions are reaffirmed. "'Worthy of all praise, t herefore," wrote the present Pope. "are the directions authoritatively promulgated by Leo XIII. . . of encouraging Christian working-men to form unions according to their several trades, and of teaching them how to do it. It must be set to the credit of the Encyclical that these unions of workingmen have everywhere so flourished that in our days . . . they already muster an imposing body of wage-earners able to maintain successfully, both in national and international assemblies, the rights and demands of Catholic labourers and to assert the saving principles on which Christian society is based." Liberty Through Property. From the Papal pronouncements in support of Trade Unionism it must not be inferred t hat the Church accepts the present system where the mass of the population is in a condition of serfdom as a desirable and inevitable condition even when reinforced by efficient unions. The Catholic goal is the restoration of liberty through the distribution of property. But since we must at the moment suffer the universal wage-system, we must strive for the best possible conditions for its victims. Hence the Popes advocate that wherever possible. as in Catholic countries. Catholics should form their own unions, which will seek not alone the improvement of working conditions, but the religious and moral welfare of its members. Where there is no Catholic union, as in Australia, Catholics are free to join a secular union, provided it is based on principles of justice and allows C atholic members to follow the dictates of their conscience. Trade Unionism to-day is in imment danger. Many unions

National Insurance All Parties Fall For Expert Reports Our monthly. contemporary, the Melbourne -Catholic Worker," makes the following reflections:— With great fervour every Australian political party and all of the Australian dailies have embraced the proposals for National Insurance, recently tabled in the House of Representatives. The absence of any concerted opposition on the part of any political group means that the workers of Australia are about to fall vict ims of the worst attack which has ever been made upon their status since the foundation of Australia. It is evident that most of the people in favour of National Insurance have studied neither the proposal nor its implications. And yet they will be called upon to vote on this measure before the end of the year. The scheme which is likely to be introduced will be as follows: Contributions are to be paid equally by employers. employees and Governments up to a maximum of 9d. a week for each insured person. The benefits would be :— Adult single man. 15s. per w eek. Adult single woman and young man aged between 18 and 21, 13s 6d. Young woman aged between 18 and 21, 12s. .Nlarried man. 27s.. with 4s 6d for each dependent child up to four.

Labour Part3: has declared itself strongly against the contributory nature of the scheme. The criticism merely deals with the details, whereas the whole plan of National Insurance is disastrous and deserving of the strongest condemnation in its principles.

Slavery for Ninepence. National Insurance means that a system of national slavery is at last installed and given legal r ecognition as part of the law of the land. The real menace of Natiorial Insurance is not on its c ontributory side. It does not lie in the fact that workers will have to contribute to the fund.

Forced Labour. But National Insurance is not the end. As surely as night follows day, it will be followed by a national scheme of labour exchanges, through which the principle of compulsory employment will be foisted on the Australian workers. Those same workers can bet every penny they possess that the same Government authority which is supposed to pay them their insurance money, wili make them accept any work that is offering, suitable or unsuitable, on the threat of classifying them as unemployable, thus depriving them of the proposed insurance benefits. The God-State. Under no circumstances can we acquiesce in a scheme which IS going to make us permanently dependent upon the charity of the rich, which must eventually deprive us of our status of free men, by forcing us to accept any form of employment which an almighty bureaucracy determines for us. We condemn the claims of the God-State in Russia, GerAre we, then, many and Italy. to accept the more insidious but far more effective tyranny of the God-State in Australia? If the criticism is raised that under the present system National Insurance is the best we can get. then it is the system No system is which must go. sacrosanct, if it involves the denial of fundamental human liberties. The proposal takes it for granted that Australia cannot normally assure all of its people a decent standard of living and that unemployment is a permanent institution. This is a colossal and indescribably shameful lie. And any measure, which prevents people from seeing the wickedness of that lie must be opposed. The workers demand a true reform, not a sop. Australia is faced with two crying needs: A wider distribution of INCOME, and a wider distribution of PROPERTY.

Income First. The first can be obtained through a progressive reduction of hours ; a progressive increase of wages to enable the worker to provide for his future without the need of State insurance and State slavery; a complete reorganisation and overhaul of the machinery of credit; a rigid limitation of interest, dividends and profits. Then Property. When that is achieved, the most pressing requisite is a wider distribution of property, both in agriculture and in industry, On that basis there can be erected a system of vocational groups which alone provides the true means of securing the prosperity and independence of the worker. Cashing in on Wages. Even if the system of National Insurance were not disastrous in principle, the contributory method proposed is aimed only at reducing our already low living standards. If the system is to be forced upon us, at least we must insist that it be raised from taxation on surplus incomes and not from our wages. But this question is entirely subordinate to the more important matter of principle. In the name of charity, the ruling class is attempting to deprive us of justice. They have made us slaves.

Generous Assistance. The Christian Brothers have already received generous donations towards the equipment of their new College in response to a circular issued to Old Boys and f riends. The Parents' and Friends' Association is very active in the cause, and it has made itself responsible for the erection of the gates. To this Association the Brothers owe their most sincere thanks. Moreover, for some time past, the Old Boys have been indefatigable in their efforts to raise funds for a boat' shed for their old school, and now it is their intention to mark the opening of the new "Christians" by the presentation of a modern and commodious boatshed to the College.

And trying to "pass the buck" has been a dominant characteristic of their children ever since. I tried the stunt recently in an article that I wrote, entitled "A Priest Warns the Church." in which I attempted to put the blame for my own priestly shortcomings on the Church at large and on my fellow-priests in particular. I feel that I must tell you just how T came to do this. And if anyone thinks that I am being "influenced" to write this article, let me say at the outset that I am being influenced—by a selfish motive. Writing it, hope. may help me to live a little less hatefully with myself, even if it accomplishes nothing else. So. here goes. A Certain Congregation. Some years ago I cut quite a figure among the priests of a certain religious Congregation. I thought I did, anyhow, especially when, as a young priest. was chosen to raise funds for a new foundation and I had apocalyptic visions of doing great things and of becoming a big man. I failed, however, to make either of these pleasant dreams a reality. through nobody's fault but my own. Indeed, my financial ventures went so ridiculously awry that I became an object of pity rather than of envy. Instead of being looked up to as a big man. I became more and more regarded as rather petty. And I confirmed this opinion that my brethren had of me by not being able to stomach my sudden eclipse. As the boys say. I couldn't take it. For a while I sulked and pouted in an inferior job. but suct• denly- I decided that I had never been truly appreciated by my Congregation and that I must go elsewhere in the priesthood to attain my real stature. With the passing of years that real stature steadily diminished, while just as steadily my brooding bitterness increased. Trying to place the blame for my misfortunes on everyone and everything save on my self and my shortcomings became my favourite pastime. And at last I succeeded in convincing myself that the real reason for my "ruination" was due to the fact that my Superiors had given me a job of money chasing. Sure, that was it. Had not the worst woes of the Church and the priesthood alWays come from

the money evil? And was I not just another innocent victim who had been spoiled by this unholy business of commercialisingreligion ? Heroic Service. With the heartening "yes" that I answered to both these questions, it was simple now to agree that it was my duty to cry out against the "financial evils in the Church." Thus I would be doing her a heroic service. Nor could anyone, I thought, question the sincerity of my motives, since in "exposing" the abuses I myself would take the risk of being completely crushed by my ecclesiastical Superiors. In other words. I now had another vision. This time I was to be a pure martyr. sacrificing myself in attacking the "money evil in the Church." as I had once been sacrificed in trying to foster it. I would be a modern. 5avonarola. Thus was born the soul-stirring opus of Whiffin Peter (R.I.P.). entitled, "We Priests Should Worry." retitled by my publisher. "A Priest Warns the Church." Ah, it was so easily written. A few touches of past history, the present situation in Spain, and then on with a sweeping flourish to the Church in America. The mushroom growth of the Church here from poverty to wealth was illustrated by the rise of a certain Monsignor from "tent dweller" to pastor of a great parish in Brooklyn. From that I passed at once to the tremendous increase in religious institutions, the affluence of some of the secular clergy with their cars and golf and vacations, the income tax report on Cardinal O'Connell's "personal holdings," the gold telephones of a couple of Bishops, the millions of dollars lost in stock ventures or brought to Rome by the clergy, the Cardinal's Red Train to the Eucharistic Congress in Chicago, the bazaars and drives for money by the priests, the relic devotions, the gathering of funds for the foreign missions, and, above all, the "indifference" of priests as a class to the sufferings of the poor, as seen from their "curtained windows." (These last two words. I believe, were supplied by my publisher, unsolicited.) tried to bring out how the recent election campaign has shown that our influence with the masses was waning. I strove to contrast the "aloofness" of priests as a class with the spirit of the Communists. who go down day and night among the poor. and I closed with a sad warning about the growth of anti-clericalism in America being our own fault.

SUBIACO CATHOLIC BALL

A FEATURE OF THE BALL WAS THE PRESENTATION OF' Weeks of arduous and enthusiastic labour by the committee of the Subiaco Catholic Young Men's Club were amply rewarded on Monday night last, July 5, when an attendance well over 300 testified to the success of the annual Parish Ball, held in St. Joseph's Hall, Subiaco. Founded six months ago by Rev. Father Brennan, the Club had held several dances, and their success had inspired members to make the ball ( which they had been given permission to conduct) the most notable function of its kind ever held in Subiaco, and well may they now sing their own praises, as such it proved to be, acclaimed by all and sundry. His Grace the Archbishop of Perth (Most Rev. Dr. Prendiville) arrived at 9-30 p.m., being met by Right Rev. Monsignor Fagan, V.G., and officers of the Club, whose members also formed a guard of honour, Other guests included the Mayor and Mayoress of Subiaco (Mr. and Mrs. W. Richardson), Mrs. Cardell-Oliver, M.L.A., and Rev. Father Winston, Rev. Father Johnston, Rev. Father Doddy, and Rev. Father Brosnan. An apology was received from the Hon. A. H. Panton, M.L.A. The hall was tastefully decorated with streamers of black and gold, and the stage presented a pleasing picture with its arranged pot plants and palms and curtains showing the Club's initials. Spotlight effects were ably carried out by Mr. Greg. Griffiths, and Miss Myra Willoughby's orchestra rendered delightful music. Very popular were the exhibition dances by Miss Wilga Dooley and Mr. Frank Longbottom. The committee responsible for all arrangements comprised: Messrs. T. Forristal (President), W. Langoulant • ( vice-president), J. W. Wall (hon. secretary), Brian Ryan (assist. hon. secretary), F. Godfrey, Ron Morris, Ralph Yates. P. Glynn, and P. MitchellDebutantes. A feature of the ball was the presentation of nine debutantes to His Grace. They made a charming picture as they bowed, and afterwards joined their partners and danced the Valeta waltz. A little flower girl, Daphne Percival, preceded them up the hall, and presented the hostess (Mrs. R. Percival) with a floral bouquet. The debutantes were Misses Olive Dawe, May Hart, Sweeney, Patricia Hughes, Kath. Eileen O'Loughlin, Ethelwyne Sanderson, Iris Taylor, Genevieve Brookes, and Peggy Bolster, and their partners were Messrs. E. McMahon, Stan Hart, L. Harris, J. Besley, L. Gee, C.

Father Ens O'Brien has already proved himself to be a scholar and historian of no mean repute, and this book, "The Foundation of Australia,' can but add to his laurels. It has been said that "the British Empire has been acquired in a series of The British tits of absence of mind." knack of acquiring strategic strongholds on the great trade routes of the world hardly appears to uphold this ut it is still true that contentio the Empigtas grown by odd chances, rather than by any concerted plan of We differ from the Ancient action.

In his prophetic poem, "The Star of A ustralasia,- Henry Lawson wrote: "We boast no more of our bloodless flag That rose from a nation's slime." But were these men and women -of the First Fleet really the "nation's slime?' ' "Dregs of society," is another common epithet hurled at these people.

REV. DR. ERIS O'BRIEN, M.A., Ph.D. cal. In both countries, however, the real cause of the "excessive criminality" was to be found in the progressive dispossession of the mass of the people, through generation after generation, by the dominant landed proprietor class. "As ye sow, so shall ye The landed class had been reap." sowing the seed from the time of Elizabeth, and now they were about to reap the harvest. Most of us realise only too well the real grievances of the Irish people. We are apt to forget that the great mass of the English people suffered almost equal wrongs. The present writer remembers actually seeing families of father, mother, and five or six children working in the home "chain and nail" shop. By dint of slaving eighteen hours a day, for seven days a week, these families were able to earn the pincely sum of twenty-one shillings per week. This is NOT per person, but PER FAMILY. This was less than thirty years ago, when conditions were immeasurably improved What then for the labouring class. was the condition of these people in the Eighteenth Century? It is much easier imagined than described. From the time of Elizabeth, there was a rapid and progressive despoliation of the people by a series of what may safely be termed "legal conThe comspiracies and robberies." mon lands, the immemorial heritage of the poor, were enclosed, the peasantry and yeomanry were destroyed as The land passed almost classes. wholly into the clutches of the few great men, rich enough and powerful enough to become members of the ruling class, a class which would be better called the class which manipulated the State and robbed the people.

It was not machinery that created the factory system, but a factory system, springing out of dispossession, that created machinery. The factory came before the machine, but the factory could not have come if one of the most abominable crimes against the poor in all history had not driven them from their own homes and their own work, to find work and a

mere existence in the hovels of the new serfdom. These people did not live. They merely existed. They were too busy earning a living to be able to live when they had earned it, even had they earned enough to lift themselves above a mere existence. E ven to this day Manchester and the industrial districts of North Worcestershire, South Stafford, and South Wales are blots on the face of the earth, but the earlier industrial slums were hells on earth. There were bred the colonists of the First Fleet. There lived in squalor, in misery, in ignorance, in a horrible tedium of unending labour, the "dregs of society." Milton's lines, "The hungry sheep look up and are not fed," are very applicable to the Established Church of this period. The Church rivalled the landed "gentry" and the mill and factory owners in indifference. The law was a travesty, a bludgeon in the hands of the ruling classes. Yet at this time came John Howard, with his great study of the prisons of Europe, and the humanitarian movement began. All this is marshalled with admirable balance and order by Father O'Brien, and as a result his book will have a much wider use and a more general appeal than its title would suggest. The second part of the book deals more particularly with the preparation and setting out of the First Fleet and the foundations of the settlement under Phillip. Now here is an apparent anomoly. Phillip was a quite undistinguished sailor, and yet he succeeded in one of the most extraordinary and difficult ventures that any man has been called on to undertake. His job was to get a fleet of convicts and guards across the world, a job in itself unprecedented. Having arrived at the antipodes, he had then to hammer into shape this lost, incongruous community, into at least a semThis again, to say blance of order. the least of it, was an appalling job.

The book is a most distinguished and valuable contribution to Australian, English, and European history. Father O'Brien has left no loose ends trailing, a fault only too common with many of our psuedo-scholarly writers, His work is well documented, and it must become the standard work of its type. In spite of its rather forbidding title and sub-title, the book is fascinating to read, being written, as are all of Father O'Brien's works, with grace and ease. To all who wish to have a proper knowledge of our own country, the book is a necessity. Let us hope that the second volume will not be too long delayed. Our copy from Angus and Robertson.

The Corporate State

We have heard all too little of the positive lines of social reconstruction laid down by the Papal Encyclicals. The idea is prevalent in some quarters that the Popes have contented themselves with a sweeping and wholesale condemnation of Capitalism and Communism. On the other hand is a minority of Catholics who don't feel that there is very much wrong with the world, they themselves being in positions of greater or less security and receiving a just return for their labours. They are wilfully content with a system which the Popes have roundly anathe matised. Others, a trifle less conservative, say that the present system admittedly has defects, but we must have a care only towards remedying the abuses and not towards altering the system. Capitalism, viewed in a general and hypothetical sense, simply means that economic system based upon private ownership and But the actual historical operation of the means of production. 'Capitalism, which has held sway since the Industrial Revolution, means that the ownership and operation of the majority of the means of production is concentrated in the hands of a few, who sweat labour, reap the highest possible profit and strive greedily for the maximum of economic domination. It may be all very well to imagine altering the abuses_ of the ideal Capitalism which has existence only in the mind. [But as for the actual, here and now. Capitalism—it is rotten and corrupted, root, stem and branches. It is ridiculous to talk of remThe very core and essence of edying certain incidental abuses. the system4s unnatural and immoral. The entire system must be smasheilfand replaced by something wherein men can live with a dignity becoming the sons of God. Apart from the Papal reconstruction, there is but one alternative, and that is Communism and Socialism. But to Catholics collective ownership is not ownership at all. It is serfdom under bureaucracy. To substitute Socialism for Capitalism is not to destroy the tyranny, but simply to give it another name. Every worker is entitled to direct, personal ownership of the means of life. This is the Catholic ideal that the nation, which is largely at present an army of underpaid and irresponsible serfs, should be converted into a nation of small masters and craftsmen. For those for whom this is not possible such as industrial workers, we claim that they shall own part of the capital of their industry, have a voice in its management, and feel themselves useful factors. The Popes have urged a return to occupational groups based on the old Catholic Guilds. This system, in conjunction with widespread personal ownership, is the only effective method of distributing wealth more equally, of breaking down monopolies and trusts, and of changing ,the spirit between Capital and Labour from one of antipathy to one of co-operation. In the corporate system all citizens who are engaged in a definite economic activity and who thereby render a specific service to the community, are organised on occupational lines. They are not simply private organisations, but receive a definite charter for self-government. They have the right to fix wages, interest, dividends, and prices, to lay down working conditions. to arbitrate disputes and carry out These powers are, however, subject to any economic planning. the guidance, direction and approval of the State. Because a certain Fascist country has effected social reconstruction along similar lines, the Communists claim that the Corporate State is necessarily Fascist. In this they miss the whole point, that the sp*, cific character of Fascism is the deification of the State. Under this regime the organisation of vocational groups is of an excessively bureaucratic and political character and is used to promote party interests rather than a better social order. The true system of occupational groups, as outlined by the Popes, guarantees to industry democratic self-control and self-government. It enables the individual to have a useful and becoming place in the social organism, enables him to do the work for which he is suited, and freedom to develop his personality. As regards the nation, it restores the organic concept of living cells and members cooperating towards the common good. It would break down the totalitarian State and make the business of government less complicated and harassing. It wo mild restore a true democracy and public prosperity would result from stable wages, demands upon the market, and industrial production.

Scripture as an Examination Subject

The Public Examination Board, at a recent meeting at the Urriversity, revived the discussion of 1935 as to the inclusion of Scripture as an examination subject for the Junior Certificate of 1938. Apart from the demerits of the matter as it stands, the proposal is a damaging admission from the secularists that secular education has failed of its purpose. Catholic educationalists contend that the primary purpose of education is not intellectual, but character formation. Secularism has no such aims and no realisation apparently of their importance. Hence it has failed badly in this respect. By a singular irony, it now seems that the advance of pedagogic science is pointing to religion as an integral part of education—a fact that the Catholic Church in Australia has known for a hundred years and has attested to by the remarkable sacrifices of the parents and the Religious Orders. Catholics, however, are not concerned with any empty spirit of pride, but with a rather forlorn hope that now secularism is beginning to see the light, it may serve to direct Governmental attention to our own educational disabilities and to the obvious remedy which honesty and justice alike should dictate.

It is not, of course, to be thought that Catholics welcome Bible reading as any substitute for dogmatic religion. But it is not a bad initial effort for secularism. Its demerits are obvious enough. If the examination standards of Scripture have to be made as facile as those in England, there is every danger that the student will tend to regard Holy NN'rit as a subject of expediency admirably adapted to the tiresome business of passing examinations. Now that the field of education is becoming annually more depressingly utilitarian, a subject has no more moral estimation in the eyes of the young than its uses warrant. The very fact of the inclusion of Scripture as "a subject" will very soon reduce it to the level of profane subjects, and it will equally he relegated to the same regions of odium and contempt among examination students. More importantly, it is not clear how the study of Scripture will supply the terrible insufficiency of the secular system, nor how potent a factor in character formation the Bible will be as an isolated rule of faith and morals. As regards the Catholic schools, the inclusion of Scripture on the Junior curriculum will be of no advantage whatever seeing they already possess an educational system whose scope is comprehensive. 4/410-••••-•140--4110.-- 04.--04111.--.0111,041.--49411.•111.111.•114.- -41111.-•1410-0011.--4114,..110- •

By a stroke of genius we have constituted dynamite for the pick-axe. Unlike previous attempts at using high explosive on the hill, there were no objections from the neighbours.

The sudden shower of rain on Sunday night caught us unprepared.

CEREMONY OF RELIGIOUS PROFESSION.

Children of Mary Carnival Dance.

Prize Packet. We would ask all card holders to c ollect from their subscribers regularly, as a few weeks' delay might easily cause inconvenience to the subscribers.

The delightful little Convent of Mercy Chapel was the scene of a most moving ceremony on June 30, when two young members of the Community were professed and made their final vows. The procession of religious, in their cream cloaks, carrying lighted tapers, reflected in polished choir stalls with the frosty morning sunlight streaming in at the windows behind the altar, and all this to a truly angelic singing of the "Veni Sponsa Christi," made one realise the power of the Liturgy to, as it were, purify the senses and thus enable the whole being, Rev. both mind and heart, to pray. Father E. McLoughlin, C.SS.R., who had just completed the Community's Retreat, was the celebrant of the Mass, and spoke most inspiringly to the two Novices "demanding" to be professed as religious. All present, he said, were witnessing that day the ceremony of the perpetual consecration of two Sisters to Unselfishness the Cause of Christ. and self-denial were among the nobler things that adorned a human soul. But unselfishness and self-denial could not have a more divine expression than in the solemn act of renunciation involved in the Profession of a Sister. It was an act of the renunciation of the liberty of the world, that so utterly bewildered the worldly that they looked for some sinister motive to explain it away. In the Middle Ages when the civilised world was Catholic, even kings in the decline of their years left the world to "make their But immeasurably souls" for God. more noble and Godly was the Profession where two girls in the flower of their years renounced the world and consecrated themselves till death to the cause of Christ. They consecrated themselves to God till death, and it was then the harmony of their lives was strikingly manifest. In death they would be enshrined in the habit of their Order. What more appropriate shroud could they wear in death than the habit they In death their eyes wore in life? were closed, but in life, too, those eyes were closed to the vanities and limeIn death their light of the world. ears would no longer hear, but even in life they listened not to the praises In death and flattery of the world. their lips were silent to the world, but in life those lips in solemn Profession renounced the world. In death their dead hands would clasp the image of the C. ucified, but in life they consecrated the works of their hands to What a harthe Cause of Christ. mony they achieved between life and death! Surely it was wisdom! It was privilege—the special privilege of Religious Vocation. On behalf of Archbishop Prendiville, who had deputed him to conduct the ceremony, and in the name of the other priests present, Rev. Father McLoughlin congratulated the Sisters He congratulaton their Profession. ed also the Rev. Mother and the Community upon the happy event. Lastly their relatives and friends, who, when all that was mortal of them would turn to clay, would live in the prayerful memory of the children they gave to God. Immediately after the "Domine non sum dignus," the vows (a simple formula, but full of meaning and with that irrevocable note, since Our Saviour "put His Hand to the Plough") were read and signed by Kathleen Harvey (in religion Sister M. Francis Perpetua) and Kathleen Stack (in religion Sister M. Benedict Vianney). Holy Communion was received by the newly-professed Sisters, and the ceremony closed with the procession from the chapel and the singing cm 'Ecce Quam Bonum." Father McLoughlin was assisted by Very Rev. Father Kennedy, Adm., of F. Father Kalgoorlie, and Rev. Regan, of Leonora, was also in the Sanctuary. With these two Sisters, two more Novices were received the previous day, namely, Annie Judd (in religion Sister Philomena) and Lorna Pearson ( in religion Sister Josephine), both of whom received the white veil at the hands of Father McLoughlin. Reverend Mother kindly invited relatives of the young religious to be enpresent on this day of days, and tertained them afterwards in a truly 'Goldfield" manner. ExKeep it in mind . . .

On Sunday, June 21, in the Sacred Heart Church, a number of little boys and girls making their first Holy Communion,' was an inspiring sight for the large congregation which attended the 8 o'clock Mass. This beautiful ceremony was a fitting climax to the children's Mission, which had been so successfully conducted throughout the week by Rev. Father Scanlan, C.SS.R. To hear those childish voices blending in perfect harmony in the recitation of their little Acts of Preparation and of Thanksgiving, or singing the lovely First Communion hymns, was an experience one will not easily forget. Rev. Father Scanlan, in his address, complimented the children and thought it a very happy augury for the success of the Mission about to l,eg'n for the grown-ups, that such a beautiful bouquet of childish innocence Aould be presented to the Divine Heart on the glorious Feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour. A fter Mass the children returned to t he Convent for the breakfast which was set in one of the class rooms, z..rnidst a most decorative scheme of w hite and gold. Rev. Father Wallace and Rev. Father Scanlan delighted the children by having breakfast with them. Rev. Mother also came in, and presented each one with pretty pictures, as a small memento. Before dispersing, the children made a charming group for the photographer, thus a very happy day was brought to a close. The fortnight's Mission preached by the Very Rev. Father Walsh, C.SS.R., and Rev. Father Scanlan, C SS.R., came to an impressive conclusion on Sunday night. A record congregation attended each night and morning, in spite of the rain during the first Week and the bitter cold of the second, the church being taxed to its utmost capacity on the Blessed Sacrament night; Our. Lady's solemnity, and at t he close. A heartening result of this most successful mission was the huge increase in membership of the parish ocieties: The Holy Name, the Women's Sacred Heart Confraternity, and the Hibernians, about which more later. A wedding of interest to a large circle of friends inside the parish and out, was celebrated with Nuptial Mass by Father Wallace on Monday. The happy couple were Mr. William Lithgo, of Mt.

When boys between the ages of fourteen and sixteen years are compelled to spend the greater part of the day in field work, the comparatively small store of energy is often exhausted before the day's work is completed, with the result that they frequently become dispirited and a general retardation of mind and body taks place. On the other hand, after five or six hours of mental work each day, student trainees find a very real pleasure in giving vent to a pent-up store of physical energy by engaging in various t ypes of useful manual work connected with the farm for a few hours each day. New Building. With the establishment of an agricultural school came a pressing demand for more class rooms and dormitory accommodation, but due to a prolonged period of droughts, which greatly affected the financial position of the institution, it was not possible to meet the outlay that would be entailed by the erection of suitable buildings. . . . With the assistance of the Lotteries Commission and the efforts of the staff and trainees, a substantial concrete building has been erected. In this connection the efforts -of the staff and trainees was responsible for a saving of over 50 per cent, of the estimated cost of the building, which was £4,500. Water and Lighting. For many years the efficient watering of stock has been a matter of great concern, but this difficulty has now been overcome by the sinking of several wells, the erection of windmills and the construction of a large cen-

Financial Problem. It would be evident to all who have visited Tardun and examined the w orking of the scheme that a very considerable amount of money must have been expended in order to accomplish so many improvements in such a comparatively short space of time, but there was also an invisible factor that has contributed largely to wards increasing the working expen ses of the scheme. This factor referred to the clothing and support of the student trainees and the payment of those who are full-time workers. . It was hoped that marry other schemes of the Tardun type would be introduced and encouraged in order to develop the fertile but empty spaces of the State and to provide a sufficiency of healthy and useful occupation for all with an inclination to follow it. The best method to achieve success in this direction was the introduction of a scheme by which all agricultural schools satisfying a set standard in theoretical and practical knowledge would, on application to the principal, be registered under the Department of Agriculture, and in order to retain registration the schools should be subject to an annual inspection by departmental officers. Under an agricultural system in Queensland all trainees were paid by the Government to the e xtent of about £36 per year. This amount included travelling and other

He also thanked Very Rev.

Appreciation of services rendered by the Pallotine Fathers. in ministering to the. spiritual needs ok the staff and trainees was also expressed, the report concluding with thanks to the Lotteries Commission, the Public Works Department, and the Child Welfare Department.

The big dral.v.card will be Haydn Bunton, captain and coach of Fitzroy Club, and thrice winner of "The Brownlow Medal" for "fairest and best" in the Victorian League.

Praise for Tom Outridge. Roy Cazaly, a champion footballer in his day and a member of the 1921 and 1924 Carnival side, played against this State on many occasions. He had some great duels with Jack McDiarmid, who, by the way, is a product of St. Patrick's School. He has been telling in an Eastern paper of great players to whom he was opposed. Turning to this State, he writes:— "Tom Outridge stood much above any other from his State. I played against him in 1921. He had a 16st. 'shepherder' in 'Fat' Ion, and Tom appeared to get every knock out that clay. He was voted the best man on the side that day, and I think he was the best man on the ground. He had few equals in the air. However, it was his uncanny judgment in hitting the ball to his rovers that made him such a success.' Roy Cazaly, now 44 years of age, is coaching South Melbourne, and many. supporters of that club want him to play again, but he wisely declines.

THE RECORD.

The World of Sport

In 1934, when Sir Frederick Wall retired from the secretarial post of the English Football Association, he was presented with a bonus of £10,000. In 1923 at the Cup final at Wembley between Bolton Wanderers and West Ham United, the "gate" was £27,776. The Association was established in 1863, and the Football Association Cup in 1871. In 1908 the transfer fee was limited to £.350, but this did not last long. As I pointed out £10,000 and more have been paid for a player, one instance being £10,340 for D. R. N. Jack's transfer from Bolton Wanderers to Arsenal.

Fixtures. The first test will be played in Sydney on Saturday, July 10. Other fixtures are: v. Queensland, at Brisbane, .Tuly 14; second test at Brisbane, July 17: third test at Newcastle, July 20; v A ustralian XI. at Melbourne, July 24; v. Victoria at Melbourne, July 26; v S.A., at Adelaide, July 29; and v. Westralia, at Perth, August 2. The innovation of a test at Newcastle is well deserved by that stronghold of Australian Soccer. A. Reminder. Don't forget the big occasion— Monday, August 2, at Subiaco. The a ttendance in 1925 was 8,000, when the match was at Fremantle. That figure should be passed on this occasion.

Once again the large crowd enjoyed every minute of the boxing and wrestling bouts at the Unity Stadium on Friday night, where the West Australian Amateur Boxing and Wrestling Association conducted their open tournament. There was a sensation in the first boxing bout of the night, when L. Cope (11.4) took only 20 seconds to smash a right to the jaw of G. King ( 11.4), who went down for the full count. A. R.

Cycling Nicholson v Menzies. The latest reports on Nicholson's a ttempt on the world's Marathon cycling record indicate that he is still in the lead of Reni Menzies, the Frenchman, who is also making an a ttempt on the record in England. At June 14, Nicholson was 1,365 miles ahead of the Frenchman, having ridden a total of 26,731 miles against Menzies' 25,366 miles at the same date. The attempts of both men commenced on January 1 this year, and Nicholson is at present fighting against one of the worst winters that Melbourne has experienced for many years. A succession of fogs and severe cold have hampered him considerably, and it has been necessary for him to wear special leg warmers to protect him against the rigours of the winter. Menzies, of course, is at present riding in ideal English weather, aral he is also taking advantage of the good weather to do a considerable amount of night riding in an attempt to gain on his Australian adversary. On Tuesday, June 22, Nicholson rode 203 miles, and the following day he covered 192 miles. At the end of that day he had completed 27,2271 miles, with a daily average of 180 miles, A comparison of Nicholson's ride this year against the figures established by him at corresponding dates in his world's record-breaking ride in 1933 indicates that" he is 1,200 miles ahead of the distance covered by him in that previous attempt. "Ossie" Nicholson is riding the famous Malvern Star bike.

Football at C.B.C. Seconds Wins Convincingly. C.13.C.s pace, ruck strength and concerted forward play were the features of their game against Scotch on Wednesday. Their effort in the second quarter, when 7 goals 2 behinds were adcred, without Scotch scoring a point, was also a remarkable one. The first quarter was fairly even. Play was transferred from one end to the other with very little scoring. The defenders on both sides were doing well. The quarter ended 3 goals 2 behinds to 3 behinds in C.B.C.'s favour, The red and blacks opened strongly in the second quarter. Margaria and Stack were securing the knock-out every time. The forwards were receiving many oppor anities, and making the best use of them. Goals were quickly added by Driscoll (2), Cocks, Stack (2), and Sheehan (2). Christiahs were then in a very strong position at half-time, the scores being: 10.4 to 3 behinds. In the early part of the second half Scotch played more determined and systematic football. But the C.B.C. backs, particularly Stack, Ward and McGillivray, were in fine form, and Scotch, after securing a goal early, could not again penetrate the defence. In the final stages C.B.C. again took command, and good work by the ruck and half-forwards resulted in goals from Driscoll (2) and Sheehan (2). Christians, finishing strongly, were in an unassailable position and went on to win easily by 100 points. Final scores: C.B.C.: 17 goals 9 behinds (111 points). Scotch: 1 goal 5 behinds (11 points). Best players: Stack, McKnight, Margaria, Sheehan, Driscoll, Morris, Sherwood, Pittendrigh. Goal-kickers: Sheehan (7), Driscoll ( 7), Stack (2), Cocks.

Christ in the Gospel Pages INCE this instrucS tion a week had elapsed, during

which the Master descended the valley of the Jordan, then quietly and unheeded took the mountain track which leads across the hills lying along the eastern On shore of Lake Genesareth. the eighth day the Evangelists show Him wending His way up the steep sides "of a tall mountain," which they do not mention by name, yet it is none other than Tabor, if we may trust the testimony of Tradition. It was twilight when Jesus beThree Aposgan the ascent. tles bore Him company —Simon and the two "Sons of the Thunder," James and John. As they were destined to behold the Agony of the Lord it was fitting that their faith should be fortified beforehand, and their eyes illumined by the effulgence of the Godhead. They climbed the rocks wearily without any presentiment of what they were to witness, and once on the summit, seeing the Master wrapped in prayer, according to his nightly custom, they stretched themselves along the ground close at hand, and here upon Mount Tabor, as again only a little later in Gethsemani, soon yielded to their need of sleep. Jesus is Transfigured. And, lo! while praying Jesus is transfigured; a Glory all divine streams through the veils of flesh, His face shines like the Sun, a whiteness as of glistening snow envelopes His garments. "Never fuller upon earth made whiteness like unto this," says At the same moSaint Mark. ment two figures appeared at either side; they were Moses and Elias, one coming up from the valley of Moab, whence he had vanished in the cloud, the other alighting from his flame-girt chariot. The Vision thrilled the air with its glories, shedding such strong pulsations of light that the Apostles were aroused from slumber; their eyes opened upon these dazzling rays, their ears caught the words wherewith Moses and Elias addressed the "They were talking of Christ. His departure from the world, which was to be accomplished at Jerusalem." The splendid spectacle was as if about to fade from their sight Rapt and awestruck, Peter cried out: "Master! it is good for us to be here if Thou wilt, let us make three pavilions here, one for Thee, one for Moses, and one for Elias!" What had he in mind when utDid the tering these words? Apostle's spirit dream of long days of happiness like this upon the Heaven-kissed heights, with Israel's yearning hopes all gratified with Moses and Elias to add a supreme splendour to the new Kingdom of the Christ? Or was it as a refuge from the pleasures of earth that he was fait to raise these three leafy tents? The Gospel scarcely allows us to indulge in such conjectures for it goes on to tell us how the disciples were, for the time being, bewildered with fear, and Peter "not knowing what he was saying." The Voice of God. Even while the latter was still speaking a radiant cloud encircled them, and from the silvery mist came a Voice saying: "This is Mv beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him."

Jesus on Mt. labor The Transfiguration things in order. Is not this our Lord also the Christ? These questions troubled their minds so much that they finally laid them before the Master.

Then they fell with faces to the earth, and when, upon recovering somewhat from their terrors, they dared at last to lift their eyes they saw no one but Jesus. Still the Apostles would not venture to stand before Him ; but the Saviour stepped toward them and touched them. "Arise and fe7r not!' Indeed it wai not to inspi-e their souls w :h fear that Moses and Elias had appeared on this mountain peak: it was to adore the Divinity of the Christ: for, in their person, both the Law and the Prophets did homage to Him. They had entered within the cloud the instant that the Voice of the Father commanded man to hearken to His Son, and by this departure proclaimed that their Mission was concluded. and that they yielded their places to the one and only Master. The Lord did not expect that the Apostles would at once grasp. the full meaning of the marvellous show: it was enough for His purpose that they should treasure the memory of the fact in order to testify to its truth, later on, in the presence of the And so, when in the Church. cool of early dawn He made the descent of the mountain-side with them. He did not explain the significance of this Apparition, but rather, with grave words, bound them "not to reveal what they had seen until the Son of Man shall be risen from the dead." Then only, enlightened from on High, they were to reveal to their brethren "that the Majesty of Jesus had been unveiled before them, that before their very eyes He had received all honour from God the Father, and that a Voice had come from out that magnificence of glory proclaiming Him Son of the Most High." Mystery of Elias. The three Apostles obeyed, though they had no clearer insight into the purport of the Saviour's words than they had had into the meaning of His Transfiguration, "How will He rise from among the dead?" they kept asking themselves; and why had Elias disappeared again? The Scribes say that he must go before the Messiah, and once more set all

"It is true that Elias must first come, and that he will restore all t hings," He answered them. "But I tell you that Elias is already come and they have not known him, but have dealt with him in all things as it pleased them; in like manner the Son of Man must suffer at their hands." Then he explained the Oracle of Malachy so clearly to them that they were enabled to distinguish between the two Forerunners whom the Scribes had confounded. There was that Elias of old, whose return will betoken the last days of the world; while the other Elias, the first Herald of the Christ, is John the Baptist.

Q. How does the liturgy bring out the transcendent importance of the Church as a sacred building? A. By the elaborate ceremony of laying the foundation stone; by the form of the solemn Blessing, but more especially by the ceremony of the solemn Dedication which, in many respects, is the most beautiful and significant ceremony in the Catholic liturgy. Q. Into what various classes are churches divided? A. Churches may be metropolitan, cathedral, collegiate, conventual or parochial. O. What is a metropolitan church? A. A metropolitan church is a church presided over by an archbishop, and is called simple, primatial or patriarchal, according as it is the seat of an archbishop simply, of a primate, or of a patriarch. Q. What is a cathedral church? A. A cathedral church is one which is presided over by a bishop :.nd in which the bishop has his seat (Cathedra) or throne. Q. How should the faithful regard the cathedral church? A. The faithful of the diocese should regard the cathedral church as the Mother of all the churches in the diocese, should frequent it as far as is possible when the bishop pontificates, presides at the throne, or preaches, and should assist at the solemn celebration of the anniversary of its dedication. Q. By whom is the metropolitan or cathedral church served? A. Apart from practice sanctioned by custom or authority, the cathedral church is served by a chapter or body of canons whose duty it is to chant, or at least recite, the Divine Office daily in choir.

French Financial Crisis Non-Intervention in Spain Victory of de Valera

C ARDINAL DEFIES NAZIS. "Nazism now aims at the destruction of the Catholic Church in Germany," said the Archbishop of Munich, Cardinal Faulhaber, in an address on Sunday to thousands of members of Catholic Young Men's Associations. Although their organisations are banned, the meeting assembled in defiance of the political police to protest against the arrest last month of Father Rupert Mayr, who was regarded as one of Bavaria's national war heroes. "The Nazis regard the churches as Public Enemy No. 1." the Cardinal declared. "They no longer attack Bolsheviks and Marxists. You face the decision whether you will believe in the Nazi conception of God without Christianity, or whether you will remain Christian." ATTEMPT ON PORTUGUESE PREMIER'S LIFE. A bomb placed in an electric cable tunnel with the intention of assassinating the Prime Minister (Dr. Salazar), while he was on his way to Mass in Lisbon last Sunday, exploded as he alighted from his motor car outside his private chapel. The explosion tore a 12ft. hole, damaging several houses. Dr SAlazar, who was unhurt, entered the chapel and ordered the service to proceed. Crowds cheered him when he emerged.

T is difficult for anyone who does not possess the necessary technical knowledge to assess the true significance of the recent French financial crisis. But it seems certain that the forces of pure Capitalism have scored a temporary victory over The the forces of Socialism. Popular Front, it is said, is dead and buried. But the forces kViliCh %vent to build up the Popular Front are not dead and buried. And the attempt of Money Power to stand in the way of constitutional social reform will only give added zest to the propaganda of those who favour reform by revolution. So it seems that the settlement of the crisis Nvill intensify the civil dissension. The people who see their politicians truckling to the Money Power will only come to have increased contempt for the politicians. We are told that so many millions of pounds left the country in a week, and the impression given is that gold. like water, naturally finds its own level, and flows from one country to another in response to some mysterious law. But a moment's clear thinking will dissipate this notion. Gold moves from a country only at the behest of human wills, and a "run" on a National currency amounts to a conspiracy against the nation. The International Financiers use this means to discipline any nation which challenges their absolute power. The Currency Agreement of 1936 between France. England and America was a blow to International Finance. which lives on fluctuating exchanges and unstable prices. It remains to be seen how far the Chautemps' Government has been compelled to depart from this agreement.

) far nothing has developed out of the withdrawal f Germany and Italy from the naval patrol around Spain. The hypocrisy of Anglo-French "nonintervention" is practically admitted in the recent reports which say that the Italo-German plan is unacceptable because it would allow General Franco to assert his superiority at sea. Thus England and France are deliberately opposing- the Spanish Nationalists. They hope to prevent an absolute victory for Franco. and to perpetuate a state of deadlock which would leave Spain for ever in chaos. Such cynicism is almost unbelievable.

The only reasonable way of preserving neutrality in a war is to grant belligerent rights to both sides, and to allow the strongest side to win. By her attitude England is declaring almost openly that she will not stand for a Nationalist victory, just as Germany and Italy said that they will not stand for a Red victory. It is deplorable that the British Government. for strategic reasons, is in danger of being led into making war on Christ.

T

HE unceasing Red propaganda seems to be hardening British public opinion to resistance against the "aggression" of Italy and Germany. That astute politician. Lloyd George, has turned another somersault in deference to what he thought was public opinion. But we can thank Heaven that British feeling is by no means unanimous, and that there are many influential people who hold the saner view. The French are notoriously divided on the subject; probably the majority of the people favours the Right in Spain. But all Frenchmen can be won over by playing the German bogey. And this. is what the Reds are doing unceasingly throughout France. *

DE

VALERA has had a smashing victory in the Irish elections. He has secured 56 out of 108 seats decided so far (July 5, 1937). This does not appear to be a very great majority, but we must remember that seats are allotted in Ireland, by proportional representation. A preferential system such as we have here would mean an enormous majority for De Valera. The "West" (July 5, 1937) comments on the situation in a ponderous leader, which misses the point and completely misunderstands the whole situation. It is no surprise to find the writer of that article quoting from the "Round Table," a journal which has indulged in nothing but irrational mud-slinging at Mr. De Valera ever since he came to power. These pseudo-authorities have only one standard by which they judge the . situation— the standard of orthodox economics. They forget that Mr. De Valera is a magnetic national leader, who is doing all he can to destroy capitalism in Ireland, and to uplift the poor. They do "The

not know that the Trade War w ith England played right into his hands, because he was trying to attain a certain degree of economic self-sufficiency, and the English embargo upon imports from Ireland merely hastened the realisation of that goal. The "Round Table- has for six years been loudly prophesying doom. and eternally quoting figures which showed a tremendous fall in external trade. They forget that this is precisely what De Valera is striving for —a decline of foreign trade to reasonable figures. Before the Trade War Ireland was, without exception, the biggest importer in the world of English manufactured goods. and the whole of the island wngiven over to cattle-raising for export. Now factories are working all over Ireland, in:ports are at a minimum, and the land is devoted to growing wheat and other products to feed the Irish people. Ireland's economic position is N- er v sound, because her public debt amounts practically to nil. Would that we were in the same position!
