WINES and BRANDY Misplaced Self-Confidence. Would it not have been more merciful to have deprived man of his free will, and so ensure his eternal happiness? No. It would not have been merciful to take back that noblest gift which makes man's true dignity with which already, in God's mercy, we have been endowed. Nor, by taking back that gift could God have ensured an eternal happiness which is dependent upon our free will. Unbaptised infants, because they have not had the use of free will, attain eternal happiness on a plane lower than that possible to those able to make a choice. And you call their eternal happiness a -"merciless injustice" on God's part. Now you suggest that it would be more merciful for God to have reduced all men to a similar condition. A sublime confidence in the value of one's objections is out of place in a man who lacks even a rudimentary knowledge of his subject. I say that, not to hurt. but to help you. For if I could persuade you to realise your lack of knowledge, and to get right views on subjects before you proceed to criticise them, I would have done you a very great service.
The Royal Supremacy "Historicus," North Queensland: You have said at times that the King is the "Head of the Church of England." Correct. No English Sovereign has accepted that title since the days of Mary. Henry VIII. usurped that title when he repudiated the authority of the Pope. When Mary came to the throne, she repudiated Henry's usurpation. Elizabeth revived Henry's revolt against Papal supremacy, making herself "Supreme Governor of the Church of England." saying that Christ was the Head of the Church—she its supreme authority on earth only. No spiritual function is, or has been, since the days of Mary, claimed by or assigned to the Crown. It is difficult to understand why you say, "Since the days of Mary." as if she ever claimed any supreme spiritual authority over the Church. She declared Ruch a claim to be blasphemy, and abolished the law by which Henry VIII. established himself as supreme head of the Church in England. And. as I have said, Elizabeth revived that law, and it still stands. If you insist that the present King is not head of the Church of England, and exercises no spiritual function, how will you explain the preface to the "official Year Book of the Church of England for 1937"? There the Dean of Westminster. Dr. W. F. Norris, says that the King "is anointed, consecrated, set apart for his high office with the fullest spiritual sanctions.
PATRONISE OUR ADVERTISERS
Henceforth he represents in his own Royal Person both Church and State." The Anglican Dean of Westminster then proceeds to justify the appointment of Bishops by the Crown, and says, - An elected President is one thing—a consecrated King is something quite different. The King is a spiritual person. and is qualified in his own person to represent both Church and State." If the Official Year Book of the Church of England for this year of 1937 declares that the King is equally head of the Church as well as of the State, you can scarcely quarrel with me for my agreeing with that statement. A nd if one feels that he cannot accept such a state of affairs. it is no remedy merely to shut one's eyes to it. One should seek the religion one does believe to be in conformity with the will of Christ.
A Marriage Case "An Enquirer," Newtown. Would a Catholic man, married to a Protestant in a Protestant Church, but now divorced, be entitled to marry a Catholic in the Catholic Church, whilst the first wife is still living? Since that Catholic man's first marriage was null and void according to the laws of the Catholic Church ,and since by a civil divorce the State has withdrawn any legal impediment to the second marriage, he would be free, from these points of view, to marry the Catholic. But before the marriage could be celebrated in the Catholic Church. the case would have to be submitted to the Bishop, and full proof furnished concerning the points you mention. and also concerning the absence of any other possible impediments between the two parties to the contemplated Catholic marriage.

Man and Eternity. Burns, Oates. 'IIRISTOPHER HOLLIS
The Monstrous Regiment. c'hristopher Typical of the attitude of the new' school of English historians towards the Renaissance, Mr. Christopher Hollis, in his new historical study, "The Monstrous Regiment," advances a thesis in direct contradiction to many cherished beliefs held by the average Englishman. Beginning with a sketch of Catholic Christendom during the Middle Ages, he writes briefly on the looting of the roonastries, and the sup. pression of the popular rising which followed. He thus develops a background for his main theme, the "monstrous regiment,- of Elizabeth Tudor, Accustomed as we are to unqualified -praise of the age of Drake and Raliegh, Shakespeare and .Tonson, it comes somewhat of a surprise to see the period in the light of research of t he present century. The story is one of a wealthy little nation, always previoosly united in religion, and subicet to a central authority for several reigns. now under the rule of Eliza. beth, last of the Tudors.
Various Authors.
A group of distinguished Catholic experts, including most of the leading professors of theology in England, here survey the various subjects included in the 1936 programme of the Cambridge Summer School of Catholic Studies. Father Lattey, S.J., deals with the Old Testament Doctrine of the Future Life; Dr. Morris, with St. Paul's teaching on the Future Life; Dr. Heron, 0.F.M., with the Immortality of the Soul; and Dr. O'Donovan, M.D.. gives a professional view of the Medical Aspect of Faith. The Resurrection of the Body, the Particular Judgment, and the Second Coming, are discussed by Dr. Cartinell, Dr. Curtin, and Dr. Patten. Father Martindale writes on the Apocalypse and Everlasting Life. Father Moncrieff, 0.P., deals with Purgatory and Indulgences; Dr. Bonner, 0.F.M., with Limbo and the Unbaptised; Father Davies, D.D. writes on Hell, and Abbot Vonier on Heaven.

Selina is Older.
Sheila Kaye-Smith. A sequel to "The Children's Summer,' written in a happy vein around Selina, an extremely imaginative child of eight or nine years of age, and her younger sister, Moira. The exploits of these two charming people and their varied companions make humorous reading. Particularly interesting to Australian readers is the contrast between the various aspects of child training and environment, in England and Australia. For those who prefer bright child studies and parental problems, this story must prove supremely entertaining. Adults enjoy it vastly; children are enthralled.

This, the latest, and last, book front the pen of J. S. Fletcher, is a singularly well written thriller. The characters are interestingly individualised, and the setting is very fine. This brilliant story was left unfinished on Mr. Fletcher's death. It has been completed by "Torquemada," the well known English critic, and it will be . a matter of interest to readers to try and discover where his work begins. All will agree that his is a highly satisfactory solution of an exciting and ingenious mystery. .Tones's wife had been unusually silent during the concert, but it was -.ilsvious something was puzzling her.

Why Not End Poverty? Father Drinkwater. Burns, Oates. These extremely stimulating essays on many topical questions concerning social problems form a sequel to Father Drinkwater's recent volume on "Money and Social Justice," which has a ttracted widespread attention. A convinced disciple of the advocates of monetary reform as the necessary condition for economic reconstruction and for the abolishment of unemployment, Father Drinkwater writes with intimate knowledge of conditions in the industrial cities and wide acquaintance with modern economic theory.

MONSIGNOR KNOX.
The Holy Bible. An Abridgement and Rearrangement. By R. A. Knox. Published by Sheed and Ward. Father Knox's aim is to produce a Bible that the ordinary Catholic reader can, so to speak, master. The New Testament is given almost in its completeness. But of the Old, he chooses out and arranges those parts which are necessary to show God's continuous dealing with the human race and the foreshadowing of that plan of salvation which comes to realisation in the Incarnation and Calvary. Thus the reader has only about one-third of the Old Testament, so re-arranged as to give him a clear and coherent view of the whole.

n the course of an article in the "Linacre Quarterly," Dr. James J Walsh, the wellknown student of the Middle Ages, carries on his great work He has already of "recovery." shown that the "Thirteenth was the greatest of centuries" in In this article he many fields. reveals the surprising "modernity" of the treatment of the insane in those "dark" ages. "Ordinarily it is presumed that the insane were frightfully abused in the Middle Ages and were considered to be possessed by the devil or some evil spirit, and therefore most of them were chained up or shackled, and some of them had been in this sort of prison in so-called asylums for years." writes Dr. Walsh. Possession: A Protestant Idea. "As a matter of fact, all this aspersion of the treatment of the insane in the Middle Ages is entirely wrong. "The psychiatrists of the time well deserve that name, studied their cases of insanity and its causes and conditions very carefully, and anticipated our best discoveries in the modern time. "The idea of possession by evil spirits was not at all common in those days, but it was almost universally accepted in Protestant countries, particularly in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries when literally many, many thousands of supposed possessed individuals were put to death dur-

"The best possible demonstration of this newer knowledge of the attitude of mind of physicians toward insanity in the Middle Ages has come from Bartholomew the Englishman. Bartholomew was a Franciscan who just before the middle of the thirteenth century wrote a small encyclopedia. He wrote it so as to apply materials for answers to questions that might be asked of parish priests or confessors. He has a wonderful paragraph with regard to the causes and the treatment of insanity which fairly takes one's breath away when we consider what are the usual notions with regard to the knowledge of insanity possessed by physicians and the laity at that

"He begins. by stating the causes of insanity, first the internal and then the external causes. He says: "Madness comes sometimes from deep emotion, from being over-worked, afflicted with sorrow, or because of over study and dread." Those are the internal causes. Now for the external. He says: `Madness comes sometimes from the biting of a mad dog, or some other venomous beast, and sometimes it comes from melancholy meats (that is, from beef that has been rendered hard to digest by salting it away). and finally from thc drinking of strong wine.' You see, they knew all about alcoholic insanity. "Next Bartholomew gives the forms of insanity: `Some cry and leap and hurt and wound themselves and other men (that is. suffer from what we call mania) and others darken and hide themselves in privy and secret places.' This is melancholia or depressive insanity.

And it was in the cool dimness of its littered interior that I first observed Sister Catherine (which is not her real name but for the purposes of this anecdote will serve) as she slowly moved along the shelves scanning each volume with the eager. intent eyes of the true book-lover. The bookseller was quite proud of her presence and whispered to me that not only was she an authority on first editions and ancient bindings, but that she was also a poet in her own right. He produced a little vizlume of her verses and as I opened it she chanced to turn in our direction and. recognising the book, smiled at us.

All of this preamble has not much to do with my cocktail room, yet in a way it is a necessary prologue to that incident which actually began the day I stopped by the Sisters' residence to show them the blueprints of a house I had decided to build. I was proud of these plans, for they were the result of many long hours spent with a clever architect, and, like all such combinations of enthusiastic owner and clever architect, we were both. convinced that our creation was destined to rank amongst the finest of modern homes. The Sisters shared my excitement and eagerly pored over the sketches as I took them on an imaginary tour of the projected house. Suddenly one of them, I think it was Sister Marguerite, asked: "And what is this room for?" Now the room she was referring to was the especial joy of both the archiSituated at a tect and myself. corner of the house and opening on to a small terrace which led into the garden, it was to be a Cocktail Room, complete with a miniature bar and, as I like the sea and all things pertaining to it, the other furnishings were to be of a marine motif. An artist friend had promised to paint a mural of ships on the wall. The backs of the chairs were to resemble steering wheels. Behind tiny a the bar was to stand aquarium stocked with tropical fish, and cocktail glasses ornamented with ships' flags. A Bar-To-Be. The faces of my five friends were studies of grave and courteous attention as I lyricised on about the chromium glories of my With such gravity bar-to-be. and courtesy did they listen, that I gradually realised I was addressing an audience who were of an era, certainly of a life, that knew very little about cocktails. O f course they knew such alcoholic refreshments existed and had no objections to them. "Is it necessary that cocktails should he mixed in a special room?" Sister Bertha inquired in all seriousness (or so it seemed). "Does one drink cocktails all day long?" asked Sister Marguerite. I explained they could be mixed anywhere and that they usually were only drunk during the half hour or so that preceded the evening meal. "Then you must be building a large house to be able to afford a whole room that will he only used for such a short time." mused Sister Catherine as she Hastfingered the blueprints. ily I made answer that I was not building a large house: the Cocktail Room was in actuality a spare room and that I would not confine it to the mixing of cockSister Marianne tails alone. blinked owlishly through her large steel-rimmed spectacles and stated blandly: "It seems there will be a great deal of drinking in this new house."

Subiaco C.Y.M.S. Outing at Serpentine, One of the most .enjoyable trips ever held by the Club took place last Sunday, July 25, when a combined bus trip with the Theresian Tennis Club to Serpentine was held. Two buses conveyed over seventy patrons, and all of them voted it a great success. Both buses were packed to capacity when they left "Foy's" at 10.30 a.m., and all was set for a great day in the hills. We arrived at Serpentine at 12.30, and at once preparations were made for lunch, each party securing some shady spot near the Falls. When lunch had concluded, the buses were again filled, and off we went to the football field to witness the great football "test match" between the Subiaco Catholic Young Men and the "Theresians." The match was a thriller from start to finish, with plenty of rugged play and hard knocks, and at the end of the first term S.C.Y.M. led by S points-3.4 to 2.2. ubiaco maintained the pressure in the second quarter, kicking three goals to their opponents one, and were still leading at halftime--6.4 to 32. "Theresians" attacked in the third term, and had most of the play in this quarter, and at "lemons" were within two goals of us, the scores being 8.5 to 6.5 Now for the final quarter! It became more rugged than ever, and a couple of players received attention for knocks. With plenty of barracking from their many female supporters, the "Theresians" gained heart, and five minutes from the end of play the scores were level, but Subiaco were not to he denied and with good. combination soon had another goal on the board. 'Theresians" battled on gamely, but could not gain the lead, and then the bell rang. Subiaco C.Y.M. were victorious by eight points, the final scores being: S.C.Y.NI , 11.8: "Theresians," 10,6. The S.C.Y.M. team are to be congratulated on their fine victory, whilc the "Theresians” are also to be commended on their good fight, considering that it was their first match for some time. The goal-kickers for S.C.Y.M. were R. Morris (3), 0, and S. R yan (2), R. Yates, B. Scott, G. Woodhouse, and 13. Ryan (1 each). Tea was the next problem after the match, and when this had concluded, preparations were made for departure. On the way home a stop was made at a hall near the Old Narrogin Inn, and an impromptu dance was held, for art hour. (Many of the male members did not dance owing to stiffness due to the football match.) A t 9.30 pm. it was suggested that we should depart for home. and the buses were soon on their way again, eventually pulling into the starting place at 10 30 p.m., bringing to a close one of the greatest social outings ever held. In conclusion the committee of the S C Y.Nf. Club wish to thank all those who came along, and particularly those of the Theresian Club, whom we are sure enjoyed themselves immensely Watch out for our next trip: it will be announced in "The Record- shortly. Dance. On next Monday evening, August 2, the Club will conduct their ninth fortnightly dance, and are looking forward to another large crowd. These dances have been most successful in the past ( attendances averaging 150), and it is hoped that they will remain the same till the end of the season. There are s till a number of young people in the parish who have not yet put in an appearance-, so we appeal to them to come along on Monday night. On August 16, the Club will hold a monster carnival night, with heaps of novelties and other features. Watch for further details in "The Record." Football. The return match against the Fremantle C.Y.M.S. will be our next encounter, and having tasted the fruits of victory last week at the expense of " Theresians," we are certain to put up a stiff fight. The date and destination of this match will be announced later. Club Jottings. Table tennis and quoits championships are to be conducted by the Club s hortly, and every member is requested to enter. Nominations must be in by next meeting night (August 9), when the fixtures will be drawn up, and play commenced. Several social functions are contemplated by the Club in the near future.

Whatever you need Divorce Reform"
The recent passing of Mr. A. P. Herbert's Divorce Bill in England has already had repercussions in Australia. It was reported from Adelaide during the week that recommendations for alteration to the South Australian divorce laws have been made to the Government by the council of the Law Society. One suggestion is that the period of desertion necessary to give grounds for divorce should be reduced from five to three years. It was also decided to recommend to the Law Council of Australia the quesdon of introducing uniform divorce laws throughout the Commonwealth, preferably by uniform State legislation, or if this is not possible, by Federal legislation. This incursion of the State into the matter of marriage represents perhaps the most menacing aspect of the Totalitarian State. The State, by countenancing civil marriage, virtually denies its sacramental character, and by reducing it to a profane level, robs it of that great dignity which Christ attached to it. What is even worse, the modern State has arrogated to itself that which belongs to God alone—the power to dissolve marriage. By the introduction of divorce which every few years has new facilities added to it, the State drove a dagger into its own heart. Our own State shows each year an increasingly large and shameful record of d;vorces, of broken homes, of warped lives, of neglected children. The modern State opened the floodgates of pre-nuptial licence by making a mockery of marriage and then turned round and tried to stem the tide of rising immorality by such futile and patchwork devices as psychological clinics and quack psychiatrists. It may be that Catholics cannot do very much at the moment towards remedying these things which are accepted as part and parcel of our decomposing civilisation, hut at least they are zealous in checking the full consequences of these evils. The neglected children of divorced parents.`the unmarried mother, the waif and the orphan—these will commend themselves particularly to the compassion and charity of Catholics.

"Daily News" Attempted Sensationalism A FAKED PHOTO and a FABLE "Universe" Cable Discloses True Facts The London "Universe" having made a full inquiry replied by cable that the man concerned is not a Count, his name is not Shafto Leopold de la Feld, he has never been a Catholic priest, he is not the son of the Duke of Grundenbergh. His name is Francis Barry Shafto Craster Roche Jackson. He was received into the Church as a layman by Rev. Father Edgar laylorat Bayswater, London, on March 21st, 1935, receiving conditional baptism. It was subsequently said that he had taken orders in the Orthodox Church. As for the lady, Doreen Smith, she has never been a nun. She became a convert ten years ago and, thinking she had a vocation, entered the Carmelites, but gave up after a few weeks. So that not one single fact of the whole report remotely approaches the truth. The report is a shameful lie, and the Picture a deliberate fraud intended to discredit the Church. When these facts were laid before the Editor of the -Daily News" on Tuesday bv a representative of "The Record," a definite undertaking was given that the "Daily News" would give (Inc publicity to a letter of protest in its issue of Saturday. July 31st. The matter is then to be referred with expedition to the London agency responsible for the "news" item, and if they are unable to corroborate their statements, the "Daily News" has signified its willingness to feature a full and unqualified retraction.
E X -PRIEST WEDS EX -NUN: BOTH EXCOMMUNICATED. Former Roman Catholic priest, who has married an cxpicture). is now in Britain seeking to become a Limrch of England clergyman. Both received a papal Bull, excommunicating them. He is Count Shafto Leopold de la Feld, aged 26, only son of the late Prince Bernard de la Feld. His father was Duke of Grundenbergh, in the kingdom of Saxony, Prince of the Holy Roman Empire and Chamberlain to the late Emperor Franz loseph of Austria. His \vife was Miss Noreen Lucy-Smith, aged 23. a writer. horn and educated in Bristol, and formerly a nun. ( Air mail photo to-day.) nfl
The above picture and letterpress appeared in the "Sports Final" edition of the "Daily News" on Saturday evening. It did not appear in the two earlier editions—the "Late City" and the "Football. Last Race." It was alleged to have reached Perth by the air mail from London, which arrives at approximately one o'clock on Saturday afternoon. A prima facie examination of the matter revealed the following points of interest :1. The "priest" is wearing the biretta wrongly. Where the biretta has only three peaks the prominent peak is worn on the right. But the German "ex-priest." possibly on account of his noble origins, or as a mark of protest against the Roman Church. or because he is left-handed, wears the biretta back to front, the prominent peak appearing over his left ear. 2. The "ex-Pries.t" wears a ring on the little finger of the right hand, and another on the "nuptial" finger of the left hand. Priests are expressly forbidden to wear rings. 3. Regarding the "Papal Bull." it is too ridiculous to call for comment. All things considered there seemed no doubt that it was a propagandist effort of the ultra-yellow type. Anxious, however. not to condemn the "Daily News" on circumstantial evidence. "The Record" cabled its London representative for further information.

Symphony Orchestra Wagner's "Traume," which was very fitting. for it was her singing of this number, with orchestra, same which the brought her her great opportunity. The favourable impression she made on Professor Schneevoigt led to his recommendation of her to Madame Lehmann. There was a still more cordial reception for her additional numbers, in English, namely, "Danny Boy," "Bless You," and "Smilin' Through." She was handed gifts and finally blew her audience a kiss. The programme was a compilation of sharp contrasts. The soprano's Wagner item was preceded by Mr. Dave Howard's Saxophone Band. The orchestra, conducted by Mr. E. J. Roberts. played the overture "Land of the Mountain and Flood" (MacCunn). Grainger's "Country Gardens," "Londonderry Air." .and "Shepherd's Hey," and Strauss's "Rosenkavalier" waltz; Rev. Father Lynch, violin solos: Mr. Roy Glenister sang, Mr. Howard gave saxophone solos, and the Commercial Travellers' Choir (conducted 13/ Mr. 0. G. Campbell Egan) sang six part songs. The Lieut.-Governor (Sir James Mitchell), as present. The thanks of the or-
ganising committee were expressed to the artists and others bv Professor A. D. Ross. The widow and bereaved relatives of the late Francis Gaffney. of Mosman Park, wish to express their thanks to Rev.

THE RECORD.
NINETEEN
Communism in Theory False Ideal. HE Communism of to-day, more emphatically than similar movements in the past, conceals in itself a false messianic idea. A pseudo-ideal o f justice, of equality and fraternity in labour impregnates all its doctrine and activity with a deceptive mysticism, which communicates a zealous and contagious enthusiasm to the multitudes entrapped by delusive promises. This is especially true in an age like ours, when unusual misery has resulted from the unequal distribution of the goods in this world. This pseudo-ideal is even boastfully advanced as if it were responsible for a certain economic progress. As a matter of fact, when such progress is at all real, its true causes are quite different, as for instance the intensification of industrialism in countries which were formerly almost without it, the exploitation of immense natural resources, and the use of the most brutal methods to insure the achievement of gigantic projects with a minimum of expense. Marxist Evolutionary Materialism. 9. The doctrine of modern Communism, which is often con-eated under the most seductive trappings, is in substance based on the principles of dialectical and historical materialism previously advocated by Marx, of which the theoricians of Bolshevism claim to possess the only genuine interpretation. According to this doctrine there is in the
world only one reality, matter, the blind forces of which evolve into plant, animal and man. Even human society is nothing but a phenomenon and form of matter, evolving in the same way. By a law of inexorable necessity and through a perpetual conflict of forces, matter moves towards the final synthesis of a classless society. In such a doctrine, as is evident, there is no room for the idea of God; there is no difference between matter and spirit, between soul and body; there is neither survival of the soul after death nor any hope in a future life. Insisting on the dialectical aspect of their materialism, the Communists claim that the conflict which carries the world towards its final synthesis can be accelerated by man. Hence they endeavour to sharpen the antagonisms which arise between the various classes of society. Thus the class-struggle, with its consequent violent hate and destruction, takes on the aspect of a crusade for the progress of humanity. On the other hand, all other forces whatever, as long as they resist such systematic violence, must he annihilated as hostile to the human race. Man and the Family Under Communism. Communism. moreover, 10. s trips man of his liberty, robs human personality of all its dignity. and removes all the moral r estraints that check the eruptions of blind impulse. There is no recognition of any right of the individual in his relations to the collectivity; no natural right is accorded to human personality. which is a mere cog-wheel in the
System of Errors and Sophisms Pseudo-ideal of Justice, Equality and Fraternity In accordance with the wish of His Grace the Archbishop, expressed in a letter to the Priests and faithful—published in a recent issue—"The Record" is publishing each week instalments of the Holy Father's recent Encyclical on Communism. Readers will realise what a depth of solid teaching is contained in its pages, and will come to understand from its perusal how false and deceptive is Communism in theory and practice, and how all-embracing is the remedy which the Holy Father—the mouthpiece of the Church—propounds in its stead. Of all the Encyclicals of the Holy Father, this is the most timely and appropriate, and Catholics would do well to follow the advice of the Archbishop and study it in detail. The full text of the Ency clical has been published by the Australian Catholic Truth Society, and is available in the Church Boxes. Communist system. In man's relations with other individuals, besides, Communists hold the principle of absolute equality, rejecting all hierarchy and divinely-constituted authority, including the authority of parents. What men call authority and subordination is derived from the community as its first and only
font. Nor is the individual granted any property rights over material goods or the means of production, for inasmuch as these are the source of further wealth. their possession would give one man power over another. Precisely on this score, all forms of private property must he eradicated. for they are at the origin of all economic enslavement. 11. Refusing to human life any sacred or spiritual character, such a doctrine logically makes of marriage and the family a purely artificial and civil institution, the outcome of a specific economic system. There exists no matrimonial bond of a juridico-moral nature that is not subject to the whim of the individual or of the collectivity. Naturally. therefore, the notion of an indissoluble marriage-tie is scouted. Communism is particularly characterised by the rejection of any link that binds woman to the family and the home, and her emancipation is proclaimed as a basic principle. She is withdrawn from the family and the care of her children, to be thrust instead into public life and collective production under the same conditions as man. The care of home and children then devolves upon the collectivity. Finally, the right of education is denied to parents, for it is conceived as the exclusive prerogative of the community, in whose name and by whose mandate alone parents may exercise this right. Communist Society. 12. What would be the condition of a human society based on such materialistic tenets? It would be a collectivity with no other hierarchy than that of the economic system. It would have only one mission: the production of material things by means of collective labour, so that the goods of this world might be enjoyed in a paradise where each would "give according to his powers" and would "re ceive according to his needs" Communism recognises in the
collectivity the right, or rather, unlimited discretion, to draft individuals for the labour of the collectivity with no regard for their personal welfare: so that even violence could be legitimately exercised to dragoon'the recalcitrant against their wills. In the Communistic commonwealth morality and law would be n othing but a derivation of the existing economic order. purely
earthly in origin and unstable in character. In a word, the Communists claim to inaugurate a new era and a new civilisation which is the result of blind evolutionary forces culminating in a humanity without God.
13. When all men have finally acquired the collectivist mentality in this Utopia of a really classless society, the political State, which is now conceived by Communists merely as the instrument by which the proletariat is oppressed by the capitalists, will have lost all reason for its existence and will "wither away." However, until that happy consummation is realised, the State and the powers of the State furnish Communism with the most efficacious and most extensive means for the achievement of its 14. Such, Venerable Brethren, is the new gospel which Bolshevistic and atheistic Communism offers the world as the glad tidings of deliverance and salvation! It is a system full of errors and sophisms. It is in opposition both to reason and to divine Revelation. It subverts the social order, because it means
the destruction of its foundations; because it ignores the true origin and purpose of the State; because it denies the rights, dignity and liberty of human personality. (Next Week: "Spread of Communism Explained.")

There was general surprise at the omission of George Moloney, but probably the selectors considered him too much of a veteran. I would have liked to see him on the side, for with his experience and effective disposal he would be a valuable member. A well-balanced team can be fielded from those named above, and with Johnnie Leonard as coach should be in good fettle to meet South Australia on August 7.

Claremonts decisive win at Bassendean over Swans stamps the leaders as a very solid combination, and one -quite worthy of premiership honours. Certainly the Swans were without the services of their crack goalgetter, Ted Holdsworth, but that fact notwithstanding, the win was full of merit, secured by a very evenly-balanced team. "The Tigers' have a firm hold on No. 1 position, if they can maintain the form of recent games. Can Wests Make It? West Perth is grimly holding on to fifth position, two points behind Swans, and the games to-day will have an important bearing on the prospects of these clubs. Swans have to travel to Fremantle, there to meet Souths, who will be no easy proposition, while Vests meet Subiaco at Leederville, and this game is likely to he close.

Although Ossie Nicholson has been fortunate in escaping the grips of winter ailments during one of the most severe winters in Victoria's history, his good fortune is being offset to a degree by his wretched luck which brought about his third fall last week, since the commencement of the ride in January. Severe abrasions to the right thigh and knee and strained leg ligaments, which necessitated medical treatment, steadied up the plucky Australian's progress for several days, and in consequence of this his daily average mileage since July 1 has dropped to 159.7 miles.
The State hockey team, under the leadership of George Milner, whom many expect to gain a place in the Australian team against New Zealand, will leave for Sydney by Trans. train to-night (Saturday), July 31. Included in the party are two prominent Old Boys of Christian Brothers' College, in Tom Lalor and Ted McNamara. W.A. at present holds the Noall Shield, and we wish the team the best of luck and an enjoyable tour, The Challenge Cup finals were played last week, and the innovation of staging the principal match—University v Cricketers----at the Subiaco Oval before the League football match, was a success. The play was keenly followed by early corners to the football match, and they saw an excellent contest. It was a ding-dong struggle, with scores level at the finish, 3-all. For 'Varsity the goal hitters were Johnson (2) and Newman, while Byass, Carden and Prosser did the needful for Cricketers.
It so transpires that when the news of the Australian's latest misfortune reached England, Menzies clapped on the pace in an endeavour to turn Nicholson's adversity to his own advantage. Menzies' .pace must be retarded slightly when he meets the English Autumn and Winter weather prior to December 31, when his ride concludes, but a question of vital concern at the mo. ment is whether Nicholson can stave off the challenge until he has regained his former strength.
Congratulations. The selectors have named Max Ttley as captain of W.A.'s Cornival team, and it is a very wise choice. He has had wide experience as a State player, and will surely pull his weight. Max is one of the most consistently effective players in the game, though he may never reach the actually-brilliant. He will have as vice-captain Lou Daily, who will play between the sticks. :
Hockey
Nicholson's grand total mileage at the conclusion of Monday's ride was 30,412 miles, and Menzies' total mileage 29,263; thus the lead of last week was reduced by over 200 miles.

GOLF Golf is making big headway in this State. and one who should know tells me that there are over 100 clubs associated with the W.A. Golf Associa. tion, and these clubs have 13,000 members, who circulate something in the vicinity of £50,000 on equipment and etceteras. It is "The Royal and Ancient Game," and many many, thousands of players have assembled at the lfith. hole since King James I. of England and a "pro.' teamed up to hand out a large-size defeat to a pair who were considered ''dons at the game." Other kings took up golf when James I. of England and VI. of Scotlanl had passed on, but it was in those far-off days a game for a select few, such as in the care to-day with Polo. But how it has advanced. Probably no game has a wider appeal. It jumped ahead when America produced a ball with an indian-rubber core, which was easier for the novice to hit over a distance than was the old t ype of leather-covered ball stuffed with feathers, but golf courses had to be re-made, because the new ball could be driven much further than the old. Probably the U.S.A. contributed most to the popularisation of golf as an inexpensive pastime for people of Round about 1895 modest means. the first public golf course to be pro!noted by a municipality was made in the Van Cortlandt Park, New YorkOther bodies the world over followed this lead and to-day almost everywhere a golf course is accessible to him or hear who fancies a game of the "Rolay and Ancient" pastime.

A correspondent, "Cui Bono," takes me to task for saying that England had never won the World's Heavyweight Championship, and points to Bob Fitzsimmons, and asks did I not know he was born in Cornwall. I certainly did. This week I give a short resume of his boxing career and leave it to readers to decide whether "Ruby Bob" can be written down as an English champion boxer. Bob Fitzsimmons was born in Cornwall in 1862, and emigrated to New Zealand in the early seventies, long before he had pulled on a boxing glove in England. He settled at Timardi, where as a youth he commenced life as a blacksmith. In 1882—when Bob was 20 years of age—that G.O.M. of the English prize ring, Jem Mace, was touring New Zealand, and young Bob Fitzsimmons was successful as a novice in one of the tournaments promoted by Mace. Immediately Bob was fired with the desire to forsake the forge and enter the professional ranks of boxers, and with this end in view crossed over to Sydney, where he came under the influ. ence of that gr,eat tutor of pugdom— Larry Foley. In one of his early lights Fitzsimmons disposed of the coloured fighter Starlight, in nine rounds, but in 1S90 he suffered a reverse when J;rn Hall beat him in four rounds. This defeat, however, did not discourage Bob, for he determined to try his fortune abroad, and three months later we find him in America. Two victories soon after his arrival were favourably received by the critics and he then challenged Jack Dempsey, holder of the Middleweight Championship. This match was fought at New Orleans on January 14, 1891, for a purse of 12,000 dollars, and it lasted 13 rounds. Repeatedly knocked down from the first round, Dempsey was finally knocked out and "Fitz" had won his first championship. A succession of 10 victories followed for 4Fitz," before he took his revenge on Tim Hall, who had followed him to the States Hall was knocked out in four rounds, in March, 1893. In June, 1894, l ob Fitzsimmons was matched with joe Choynski, at Chicago, but the poi:e stopped the fight in the fifth r ound, and it was declared a draw. Three months later Fitzsimmons met Dan Creedon, Australia's best middleveight, at New Orleans, but the fight Creedon lasted only two rounds. woke up 24 hours later, in bed, and the first to visit him were Bob Fitzsimmons and his wife. Then came a set-back for Bob--he lost to Tom Sharkey on a foul. Fitzsimmons then sought a match with the N‘orld's heavyweight champion, Jim C:orbett. The fight took place in 1897 That was and Bob lifted the title. an epic encounter. A t 12.5 Bob was a stone lighter than "Genteman Jim," but right from the first sound of the .gong "Ruby Bob" However, fought with confidence. Corbett was a tough guy. Fitzsimmons w:e; floored in the sixth round for 9 seconds, and from then until the 11th he took a severe trouncing. But the pace was beginning to tell on Corbett, and Fitzsimmons noting his sluggish movements, made his big bid for victory-. Changing his feet in his famous shift, he drove a terrible left to Corbett's solar plexus, and the fight was over. Corbett reeled back paralysed and Bob, following him up, and measuring him, sent the right to the champion's jaw and sent him to sleep. Bob held the title for two years, but in the mighty, massive Jim Jeffries, he met his Waterloo at Coney Island in 1899, A fter losing his crown, Fitzsimmons had a sequence of five victories before he challenged Jeffries to another contest, this time in San Francisco, but once again he found Jeffries too solid and he took the count this time in 8 rounds. Nothing daunted, Fitzsimmons won four more contests in a row, and then matched with a rising young heavyweight, who was eagerly forcing himself to the forefront of the game. This \vas the famous negro. Jack Johnson, and they met in 1907 at Philadelphia, but the good old one found the good young one too strong and the gallant veteran bit the dust in the second r ound. In 1910 Fitzsimmons came back to Australia, where he lasted 12 rounds against the then Australian champion, Bill Lang. This bout marked the
' end of his first-class fights and he returned to America shortly afterwards. From 1882 to 1910 this great fighter who rarely exceeded 12.0, had met all weights as they came along, and he must rank with the greatest of all time. While there have been many great punchers in the game, few, if any, excelled this huge-chested, spindly-shanked champion. His swift moving left to the solar plexus was a killing shot, and once Bob had planted it home, he rarely had need to repeat the dose. Yes, Bob Fitzsimmons was a highlight among the fistic stars. Certainly born in England, but by no stretch of the imagination could he be classed an English boxer. The record books put him down—some as a New Zealander —most as an Australian. One might just as well refer to "Gubby" Allen, captain of the last AllEngland XI., as an Australian cricketer, although he was born in Australia. AMATEUR BOXING AND WRESTLING. State Championshnps. As usual, a large crowd was present at the Unity Theatre last Friday to witness the opening night of the State Championships of the W.A. Ama.teur Wrestlink and Boxing Association. Although he fought tigerishly throughout, D. Lamer (8.0) was not in the same class as the fast-moving Harry Matthews (8.0), who won very easily on points. A good bout was that between C. . Howes (9.2) and G. Hardie (8.10), the former hitting more often and harder than his opponent, won the first two rounds, but Hardie made a good recovery in the last round to win on points He appeared lucky to get the decision. In the lightweight division, W. Piper (9.9) followed S. Cheesewright (9.11) all round the ring for the duration of the bout, and systematically cut him to pieces. In a very onesided affair, the promising Piper had the easiest of victories. In the other lightweight bout, S. Huban (9.7) outpointed D. Follett (9.9, in an interesting bout. The winner used a straight left to the best possible advantage, and Follett was groggy towards the conclusion of the fight. C. Spiers (10.6) made short work of T, Harken (10,3 in the welterweight division, the bout lasting half a minute. Spiers jumped in and bombarded his opponent with both hands. Harken was staggering backwards when he received a terrific right to the jaw, which ended the fight. He hit his head on the boards and appeared to be in a bad way when he was assisted from the ring. The heavyweight bout between W. Mackie (12.3) and W. McGilvray (12.7) was also of short duration. McGilyray connected with a powerful right early in the first round, and Mackie, who does ncit seem capable of taking much punishment, went down for the full count. The wrestling results were as follows: A. Robinson (10.5) beat C. Norman ( 10.9) by two falls to one; J. Oag ( 12,1) beat E. Venner (11.10) by two s traight falls; E. Vivian (10.12) beat W. Cornish by two falls to one. The programme fen next Friday night, July 30, is as follows: Wrestling: Light-heavyweight, R. MacPherson (Olympic) v, C. Strickland (Swan); Featherweight, H. Eager ( Swan) v. P. Lummis (Swan); heavyweight, J. Borodea (Olympic) v. J. Christos (Swan). Boxing: Flyweight, A, Downes (Olympic) v. S. K. Truslove (Swan). Featherweight, S. J. Cockrane (Davis) v J.

Sunday: The fruit and profit of a soul does not consist so much in thinking as in loving. Monday: It is better to say a little that men will remember : rather than much that men will f orget.

Wednesday: He who keeps steadily on without pausing will reach the end of his path and the summit of perfection. Thursday: One is so partial and so blind regarding self that one blames in others the things that one practises daily.—St. Eyramond.

A LITURGICAL CATECHISM
Q. What is an oratory ? A. An oratory is a place which is destined for ppblic worship, but which does not as its primary purpose serve all the faithful. The primary purpose of a church is to serve all the faithful; the primary purpose of an oratory is to serve a community, a family, or even a private individual. Q. How are oratories classified? A. Into public, semi-public, and private in accordance with the needs they$8ubserve. Q. State the difference between these three classes. A . A public oratory is a place o f worship intended principally for a special community, or even for a family, but which the faithful are free to attend at least at those special times devoted to r eligious worship. A semi-public oratory is one which is destined for a special community, and which is not freely and habitually open to the faithful in general. A private or domestic oratory is one erected in a private house for the use of only a family or a private individual.

The Corporative Order ITS BASIC PRINCIPLES. Collective Well-Being the Aim. Whenever mention is made today of the corporative order, 'men think at once of Italy, if not of G ermany, and in general of the totalitarian State. At all events they connect up the corporative order with everything that is undemocratic, and consider it as necessarily linked up with auto cratic forms of government. This is most unfortunate, since nothing is farther from the truth. What, then, are the basic principles of the corporative social order? First of all, there is the conscious acceptance of the social nature of human life over against the isolating individualism of There is the prinLaissez faire. ciple of social charity and social je tire over against the principle 1,r()moting one's own selfish inThere is the co--operat( (':-t . ii an those who are in any common underinstead of the death:rti ,g!e of capitalist against lab. r of one class interest ag;:inst the other even within the s z.;:ie enterprise. a similar way there is the . •.: .eration and mutual undernding between such entire . .tips over against the older cutat competition. And for all t o,gether. whether individuals or ups, there is the necessity of seeing their corporate enterprise and interest in its proper relation to the entire social life, that is, to the common good. the common well-being of the whole. Minimum of State Action. The true basis of a corporative order is not first of all a political set-up. nor again a special economic structure. It is rather something more fundamental. If
we start with the formation of a particular political set-up, or a particular economic structure, which is legislated into existence. we are trying to reform society from the top down. Such reform will hardly have the spontaneity of life, and it will moreover have to be instituted through the mighty arm of the State. The State will then also have to take too great a hand in the internal affairs of corporations. In a sense this is quite contrary to a basic principle of corporativism. Which wants to do away with the present excessive duties and functions of the State. This is the principle of making men capable again of doing as much as possible for themselves through union with one another. and independently of any State action apart from that of protecting them in their inherent individual and social rights.

THE RECORD"
Towards the middle of May, a spectacled German bachelor, v isiting England on a passport bearing the name "Ian Anderson." received word that he had been appointed a professor at "Ian AnHarvard University. derson." whose friends know him as Germany's one-time (193032) Chancellor Heinrich Bruening, was as glad as any exiled German scholar to get work. Harvard's Professor-designate Bruening to-day bears a few traces of the days when, from his offices. in Radziwill Palace, A lie governed all Germany. Catholic Nvho entered the Reichstag as a Centrist Deputy some years after the Republic was set up. Dr. Bruening accepted the Chancellorship in 1930 from von lindenburg to stave off and compromise with what the President then regarded as the Nazi Menace.. In his two stormy years of office. Chancellor Bruening invoked Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution. unwittingly showed A dolf Hitler how to govern Germany Nvithout the Reichstag by personal decree. To-day many a German believes that if the "Second Bismarck" had not wearily yielded his office to Franz von Papen, Hitler cold(' not have seized power without civil var. Like everything else in the lifc o f Ian Anderson-Bruening since he left Germany in 1935, his ap-

conAn eloquent chapter cerning- his struggle to preserve true democracy during the past three years can be written, and still a much more eloquent chapter is now being enacted, and must later be recorded. . . . Born in 1898. son of a professor of law at the University of Salamanca, he attended the University and gained first place in the examinations for the Licentiate of Law. Three years later. he was appointed professor of law at the University of La Laguna, but resigned his chair, to devote himself to the. practice of law and the editorial direction of Spain's foremost daily. 'El Debate ' That was in 1923. Countless activities and much travel prepared him for political leadership when the R epublic was declared in 1931. Tragedy is now preparing him for greater responsibilities when the Republic will again be declared.
The Basilica of the Little Flower. which was opened at Lisieux on the 6th. inst.. is the third largest church in the world. Its existence is chiefly due to the efforts of Canon Germain, of Lisieux. and the building has cost 100.000,000 francs. The Basilica, which dominates the town, is in the Romanesque style. peculiar to Perig-eux, which has also been copied in the Sacre Coeur. on Montmartre. A flight of 210 steps leads up to the \vest door, whence a fine view is t o be had down the long boulevard. which Senator Henri Cheron, formerly Mayor of Lisieux, caused to be made. Seven hum dred thousand people visited thft town last year. and double that number attended this year when the Eucharistic Congress was opCI ed there simultaneously with the Basilica, in the presence o f the Papal Legate. The station has been enlarged and several new hotels have been opened. " The Catholic Press is my voice! —Pope Pius XI.

lar vote in 1933. but prevented from taking office by the Leftists, he was marked for death by the Leftists in July. 1936. at the time Calvb Sotello was brutally murdered. All agree that Gil Robles is as much opposed to Fascism as are the Basque leaders. Robles is a R epublican. He is not a Monarchist. but has striven always to w in the support of the Monarchists for the Republic. He is not a Fascist, and in the columns of "El Debate," he has stated: "A Fascist regime in Spain. when we consider that native character o f our people and their political t raditions. must be pronounced an impossibility." While Gil Robles was not- the editor of "El Debate," he was one of the most virile members of the group that defined the editorial policy of t his great daily newspaper and made it the exponent of the most liberal programme for true democracy. During the past two years it surpassed in circulation c‘ err other daily newspaper in Spain. and represented the views o f Gil Robles and his associates in the Popular Action political party. Gil Robles. for the present, is residing- in Lisbon. After hi-; escape front the Leftists last summer, he made his Nvav into France and, while at Biarritz, was politely given to understand that he w as 11, 4 too welcome under the Blom regime. He is co-operating with the Nationalist Government in Spain but holds no official position.
