THE RECORD. The woman sitting in the specialist's waiting-room was portly. At a summons from an attendant, she rose and waddled into the specialist's sanctum: The doctor threw up his hands in horror. -Mv good woman!" he exclaimed, you are stouter than ever! Have you been following the treatment I prescribed? Are you quite sure that you ate exactly what I ordered?" "Everything," replied the patient. • .\ nd nothing else?" . \othing whatever,' she replied, 'except, of course , my ordinary meals."

"What is a fortification?" asked the schoolmaster. Silence from the class. "Good heavens! I ask you a simple question like that, and get no answer," The class stared back at him blankly. "You, Jones!" he said, pointing to a small boy in the corner, "what is a fortification?" "Two twentyfications, sir," replied the boy in desperation.
Two Scotsmen Went into a public house and tossed to see which should pay for drinks. The winner called "Heads." The loser called "Fire!" and escaped in the confusion. 4 The two travellers had wandered far from civilisation, and had fallen into the hands of a savage chief. The day following their capture the chief or. dered them to go out and gather fruit. The first returned, bearihg a plentiful supply of grapes. The chief commandM him to swallow them whole. The traveller burst into laughter, and the chief demanded to know the reason. "Sorry," apologised the prisoner. "I was just thinking of my pal. He's bringing cocoanuts." T wo very stout men were walking along a country lane on their way to a minor race meeting. As time was getting short they hail. ed the driver of an approaching horse• cab and got a lift. But they soon became anxious lest they should be late, for the horse took things very casually. "I say, do you think you'll get there in time?" one of them inquired, anxiously. "Oh, we'll be there in good time all right," was the calm reply. "You see, I'm not tiring the mare because she's running in the 3 o'clock herself." The foreman noticed one of his men gazing aimlessly about instead of working, and inquired, "What have you done to-day?" "Formosa for the Cup," grinned the man. The foreman flew into a rage. "Put your coat on,•• he stormed. " Why? It ain't raining." "Put your coat on and go and get your money," roared the official, " 'As it won, then?" A recruit undergoing training at the hands of a drill sergeant caused the latter a good deal of trouble. The sergeant became caustic. "Seems to me you don't know your ieft hand from your right!" "Oh, I do, sergeant," replied the recruit. "We'll see," said the sergeant, taking the man's hands and crossing them. "Now which is your right hand?" "Sergeant." answered the recruit, You've mixed "how should I know them."

A Frenchman and an Englishman met in the bar of the hotel. After a few remarks, the Englishman asked the visitor what he would like to drink.

The conversation had changed from one thing to another, finishing up with high buildings. The American thought he had them all beaten when he said there was a building in New York so high that it took a person at least twenty-four hours to get to the top. "Sure," said Pat, "there's a little building I was working on some time ago in Dublin. One Saturday morning about 11 o'clock I dropped my hammer from the top, and, begorra, when I went to work on Monday morning the thing hit me on the head!" The big-game hunter was at a dance. "I killed four lions one day," he hoasted to his suffering partner. "now wonderful," she replied "Did von tread on them?"

I would ask Mr. Lade whether Wesleyans are prepared to be as just to Catholic schools in Australia, as Catholics are prepared to be just to Protestant schools in Ireland. Our "Protestant" Empire. Mr. George Brown, of the Evangelisation Society of South Australia, also states his views. The strange thing is that we Catholics agree with them in everything except his concltision that no Government grant should be made to religious schools. But that conclusion in no way follows from what he has to say. He writes, "We do not believe in the State controlling religion." N or do Catholics. Nor do we, as a Protestant Empire, believe in religion controlling the State. • He is under a misapprehension in attributing a religious character to the British Empire. It no more a Protestant Empire than it is a Catholic Empire. oi a Buddhist Empire, or a Mahometan Empire.

less, of course, the Protestant religion controls tfie Empire, or the Empire controls the Protestant religion. But Mr. Brown has rejected both those ideas. Catholic "Rights." Mr. Brown adds, "If religious bodies desire to establish schools outside of those provided by the State, they have the right to have them, and to pay for them. To that. I need simply say that if the taxes paid by Catholics are devoted to the education of Catholic children in Catholic schools, then Catholics are paying for that education. What Mr. Brown really wants is this. Catholics have the right to establish their own schools. But if they do, the State should confiscate the taxes Catholics are compelled to pay towards the education of their children, and make them pay over again for the enjoyment of their right. That is simply a negation of the right Mr. Brown has conceded. You don't fine people for doing what they have a right to do. The Scandal of "Duplication."

WINES and BRANDY Denying the "Real Presence
',
A. M., Sydney: According to a report in the "Herald," of June 7, Rev. T. C. Hammond, principal of Moore Theological College, declared the Catholic doctrine of the Eucharist to be erroneous. A s an Anglican clinging to the Protestant outlook , Mr. Hammond could hardly be expected to do anything else. High Church Anglicans. however, are tending more and more to accept the Catholic- doctrine. Mr. Hammond said that there was a tendency in many minds to confuse the sign and the thing signified when dealing with the Sacraments. Catholics. certainly, would not fall into such confusion. In defining the Eucharist the Catholic Catechism says that it is the Sacrament of the body and blood. soul and divinity of Jesus Christ, under the appearance of bread and wine. No Catholic, when told that the body of Christ is under the appearances of bread. w ould confuse those appearances of bread with the body of Christ. He knows that those appearances are but outward signs signifying the invisible substance of Christ's body beneath them.

of the Church, the very body of Christ, was preserved from pagan Pagans, who put defilement. themselves under instruction, were taught first to receive Christ by faith. Only after they believed and were baptised were they taught the truth of the Real Presence and allowed to receive the actual body of Christ in the Holy Eucharist. A Sermon of St. Augustine. Speaking to a mixed congregation of baptised and not yet baptised people one day, St. Augustine spoke as follows: "As we have heard when reading .he Gospel, Our Lord exhorted us, whilst promising eternal life, to eat His body and drink His blood. Now not all of you who have heard this have understood it. Those of you who have 1)f'en baptised do know what He meant. But can those mc.-ely under instruction understami it? Yet we are speaking to both classes. Therefore let those who do eat the flesh of the Lord and drink His blood think what it is that they eat and drink as the Apostle says, they eat and drink judgment to themselves. Those who do not yet eat and drink desire soon to do so. Perhaps you say in your hearts, !low does one eat the flesh of the Lord? Well, it is Easter. Be baptised." St. Augustine v ild certainly not have spoken 'ike that if the Eucharist were not the real body of Christ, but mer,.' 'v a symbol. In speaking of fasting before Communion, St. Augus ine w rites. "The body of the Lord must be received into the ni nth o f the Christian before any other f ood. for such is the custom observed throughout the whole world." Again he writes, "We receive Christ Jesus, who gives His flesh to eat and His blood to drink, into a faithful heart and mouth, even though it may seem more horrible to eat human flesh than to die, and to drink human blood than to shed it." So spoke the strong Latin common sense o f St. Augustine, so. admired by the Rev. T. C. Ifarnmond. of Moore Theological College. *Upon his references to transubstantiation I will comment next Sunday night.

WENTY-FIVE years ago, all seemed orderly, all seemed to be firmly founded. It was as if e verything had been set in a mould. But all that was. and all that was expected to be, was shaken out of its mould by the disaster of 1914, and by the war-years and the hysteria-years and the depression-years. The editors of the Catholic Press had to face prodigious problems over the past twenty-five years--and their problems for the next two and one-half decades would -probably be terrifying to any group of lesser courage, and lessThe truth is simply er faith. this: that the old order is passing quickly; an era of world history has been completed; new thought, new tendencies, new movements. new action, and new demands are bursting up in our midst. The old errors and the old dangers are now totally old-fashioned and discarded. But new and more serious errors capable of leading astray not only one nation, hut all the nations, are being broadcast, and are being taken up by the man of power, and the man of the mob. Moreover, these errors aim to weaken the Clitir, of Christ, and eventually to d;•stroy it. Fortunately, we are :n possession of three forms o f endeavour (let us call them w eapons of self-defence, for it is a mortal combat that Catholics have to face): (1) A new and s tronger loyalty to the Faith, as s ymbolised by the Church; (2) a l..etter support of Catholic education, a, expressed in our schools., and (3). a greater heed to matters of Catholic import, as carried in the Catholic Press. The c orning years for the Catholic editors v. ill not be easy—for apart altogether from detecting the heresy :n this or that tendency, or in this or that movement, their far greater task will be to indicate how the best of the old order that is passing may he preserved and fitted into the new era that has begun. * * * *
The Catholic Press
Statistics -- World Exhibition (By PAUL BRENNAN.) in 1826 the world managed on a Every day, we are bare 3,210. told, between 150 and 200 millions of people read their newspapers, as against fifty million who listen-in to the radio, and thirty millions who see films. It would seem, therefore, judging by figures, that the Press is still the greatest power in the world, and undoubtedly the press influences opinion in a more definite way than either the radio or the films. So much for the Press in
bition showed the steady growth of the Catholic Press from six periodicals in 1835 to 36 in 1885, 165 in 1915, 268 in 1925, and 347 One of the most reto-day. markable displays was that of Spain. In it were shown no less than 83 Catholic dailies, including the famous "El Debate," 60 cultural reviews, 134 weeklies, and 194 monthly publications of the Action. Since Catholic Civil War scarcely anything can remain of this fine effort, for it
ligion with politics, the Catholic Press is not wanted. In both countries, he said, they fear the "efficacy, strength and honour of The Holy the Catholic Press." Father's address was conspicuous also for an extraordinarily earnest and precise warning concerning Communism, in which, we are told, he "particularly abjured the Catholic Press to carry this solemn warning to all the world," repeating his words and his plea. Twice in the discourse he emphasised that he spoke not only as the head of the Church, which has guarantees from the Saviour of its eventual triumph, but also as a "son of our times." He declared that the Church today "is the only bulwark of Christianity." and asserted vigorously that She "cannot admit that- politics exclude morals."

Saturday, August 7, 1937. John Gunther. Inside Europe. Revised Hamilton. Hamish Edition. up-to-date and This book, completely revised and reset after its unprecedented first success, tells the story of the .great personalities of modern Europe, and their effect on politics. It is, as a reviewer of the "Times" noted, a sort of political B aedeker. I do not think that any such intimate study of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Litvinov, Baldwin, Eden, Kemal Pasha, Laval, Otto Blum. Herriot, GomStaremburg. Hapsburg-, boes. Azana, De Valera the Polish Colonels the Balkan Kings, has ever previously been written. Many facts are disclosed that have never before been published.

Paul McGuire: "Murder in Haste." -The rower Mystery.' Dorothy Sayers: -Busman's Honeymoon." Margery Allingham: "Death of a Ghost." Georgette Heyer: "They FounI Him Dead." Each of these books has recently been added to the Veritas Library, 36 Pier-street:— Busman's Honeymoon. . Dorothy Sayers. Gollancz. This may be described, as Miss Sayers herself describes it, as "a love story with detective interruptions." Lord Peter Wimsey departs on his honeymoon with his bride, Harriet, and, as usual, finds himself involved in a mystery. It is a good job that Miss Sayers is a law-abiding person, for the methods she uses to get rid of her victims are unusual and ingenious. A splendid story, in the course of which the usually imperturbable Bunter is shaken from his equanimity. The Spirit of the Oxford Movement. Sheed and Ward. By Christopher Dawson.
LATE DR. DOLLFUSS. Ou: reviewer especially recommends th, Austrian chapters of Gunther's "Inside Europe."
scribes personify policies, and these are shown in accurate and comprehensive detail. Every important event in Europe is described from the inside; the Hoare-Laval plan, the Rhineland crisis. the Staviskv affair, the murder of Dollfuss. the civil strife in Spain, the killings of June 30 in Germany, and the origins of the Abyssinian \Var. The A ustrian chapters are especially noteworthy. "Inside Europe" begins with Hitler and then proceeds to a tour around Germany. What are the forces in Germany making for explosion and Nvar ? In each country the author surveys the repercussions of this question. A fter Germany he deals with France, then Italy, then England. The book proceeds to Austria and the Balkan States, and completes the circumnavigation of Germany with Poland. A chapter on the League summarises all the forces making for war and peace in W estern Europe. The conclusion is devoted to Russia. The author, one of the best known American journalists in Europe. travelled 5.000 miles in 1935 to write the book, and visited every capital he describes. Until recently he was London c orrespondent of the Chicago "Daily News."

No one can foretell where the mind of Christopher Dawson will range next. We can only be grateful for this particularly surprising departure, and those who thought they knew everything or had heard too much about the Oxford Movement will be the most surprised of all. Mr. Dawson seems to have read all the documents in the case and waded through a Hood of books that the centenary has produced. Here is a summing-up and a verdict— judicial, definitive, moving, and totally unexpected.
The Tower Mystery. By Paul McGuire. This is a detective story in which one is really led to suspect the wrong person by quite legitimate means. An intricate plot is slowly and carefully unravelled with the aid of an amateur detective, whose shrewdness is piquantly set off by his attachment to his cats and his teapots, not to mention his activities as a s entimental novelist. A worldfamous film star is badly frightened when entering a room in a church tower after attending a seance at which her nerves had been upset. Later she is found murdered in the tower, _hanging from the bell-rope, while the c hurch bell tolled mysteriously in the middle of the night. Social Origins. Eva Ross. Sheed and Ward. A concise, readable, scholarly essay on the origins of human society. Property and the family are shown, with a wealth of r eferences as to authorities, as natural institutions. The most valuable part of the essay treats of primitive religion. Miss Ross makes the two essential points that mythology is not a form of religion, but a first attempt at science, and that magical and impure religious growths are not primitive. They Found Him Dead. Georgette Heyer. Hodder and Stoughton. Miss Hey-er seems to be equally at home in period pieces or in mystery stories. Her latest book, "They Found Him Dead," is equally as good as "Behold, Here's Poison," recently reviewed on this page. A good mystery story of the lighter type. * * Death of a Ghost.. .

Murder in Haste. Guire.
II\ Paul Mc-
Here is the story of the murder of a motor mechanic whose body is found on a main road near London. The case is taken up by Fillinger, and Inspector Cummings from the Yard, and their efforts to track down the murderer are told in a clear and straightforward way. The story is full of interest and excitement, and the manner in which clue after clue is followed up, leading in the end to a solution of the mystery, will appeal strongly to all who like a thoroughly wellwritten crime story.

I have not previously had the pleasure of reading any of Miss Allingham's books, but shall certainly be on the look-out for any more of her books, either published or yet to be written. The theme of "Death of a Ghost" is distinctly original, and its characterisation outstandingly good. Miss Allingham must be classed among the few writers able to lift detective stories from the plane of fiction to that of literature.
The Will to Freedom. Ross Hoffman. Sheed and Ward. (First British Edition.) The author, an American essayist, gives a very clear description and analysis of some intellectual aspects of Fascism, Marxism, the Liberal State, Liberty, Authority and Tyranny. It will interest the general reader as well as the s c- udent. A passing reference to John Strachey will explain why Professor Beasley and others are recommending this writer on economic rehabilitation. The name of Sheed and Ward does not necessarily imply ecclesiastical approbation. The reference to the social contract as a worthy element in the essentials for social stability, calls for considerable qualification to distinguish it from the social contract of Rousseau, Hobbes, and Grotins. The author quote,: Suarez „ roxim

(following Grotius probably) and saves himself from association with questionable ethics by citing St. Thomas—the valid warrant to disobey lies only in the enactments, never in the quality of the prince. The Thomistic teaching regarding the origin of power to rule is favoured by the Church. Some years ago, your correspondent discussed this topic with tl-T reputed spiritual adviser of De Valera—to his discomfort. I, beProfessor lieve. Soon after O'Rahilly published an article purporting the discovery of support in St. Thomas for the origin o f power in the people. It was not convincing. Some concessions are made to the highbrows: "Philosophically considered, it (Fascism). is Platonist reaction against all the nominalist stream of thought which culminated in Marxist materialism, and it makes therefore a very radical attack on the modern political and social order." The therefore is not so obvious, but there is not mqch of this type of writing in the essays. Most readers prefer concrete terms and transitive verbs, and little of "ghosts of beliefs haunting those mazes of verbal propositions in which metaphysicians habitually 'ose them selves."----(P. C.

JESTS.
A Common Transgression. Those who happen to lead fairly sheltered lives have no conception of how much of the matter on which laughter is fed is Among men and sheer filth. women who care nothing for religion this is not surprising. But how many Catholics are there. who seem to think that there is no harm in listening to and in retailing jests and stories whose sole point lies in their uncleanliness? Even in the world, good taste and good breeding rule out a great deal of the grosser matter but there is little that they will not pass, providing only that it• be made palatable by genuine wit. But though wit may be a sauce, it is not a soap; it cannot make clean that which is unclean. There are, no doubt, degrees of uncleanliness which can be discarded, but there is also no doubt that St. Paul would not have been concerned to split hairs in the matter. There is plainly a gross incongruity in the professed disciples of Christ re— velling in the ribaldry in ',Bich the world delights. If you are inclined to think that there is no harm in it, and are disposed to defend your view by arguments, listen to the Apostle St. Paul, who seems to anticipate this: "Let not man deceive you with vain words. For because of these things cometh the auger of God upon the children .,1 unbelief." The anger of God came upon the ancient pagan -Yorld. not because of their pagan 1)cliefs ( for as yet for the most part they, had had no opportunity of ktiowing and worshipping the true God), but because of the l;centiousness by which they outraged the fundamental laws of t , ure. and did that which the unaided human reason could percc He to he evil. There is plenty of good to be had, and plenty of lawful laughter, without having ;, ship with the unfruitful w:u-I:s of darkness. It is no business of the Christian to see how y!early he may accommodate 11 -. life to that of the world without mortal sin.

What's Wrong with the World?

A Letter to Workers Betrayal or Redemption? These four arguments all prove that man has a natural right to own property. In proving that, we also prove false the Communist claim that man has no right, independent of the State, to own property.
WORKER,— EAR another Here is proof that men have a natural right to own property. Men are made to serve God in this life so as to enjoy Him for ever in the . next. To serve God, men need this natural right to own proTherefore, since God perty. whatever they need men gives as He intends, men Him serve to have the natural right to own property. The first step in that ' argument needs no proving to you Catholics.
Faced with the present uneven distribution of property and the resulting suffering for the workers and the poor, the Communist says: "Abolish private ownership: let the State own everything and give everyone a sufficiency." But the Catholic, guided by sane reason, enlightened by faith, Man has a natural says: "No. You right to own property. cannot violate that natural right without enslaving the people to the government and depriving them of personal, religious, and political freedom—that is the beYou trayal of the Proletariat. won't remedy the present uneven distribution of property by taking property from those who have it, and denying to all even the The true remright to get it. edy is to defend stoutly the right of all to own, and to take measures to enable all to exercise this right by acquiring property of their own—that is the Redemption of the Proletariat." For the present get this: Communist economic theory is false in its fundamental principle, the denial of private ownership; and this falsehood put into practice will land the whole people into servitude under an atheistic dictatorship. Yours very sincerely, Gregory Ffrenct;. S.J..

Above all, Gudge rules by a coarse and cruel system of sacking add sweating and bi-sexual toil which is totally inconsistent with the free family and which is bound to destroy it; therefore Hudge, stretching out his arms to the universe with a prophetic smile tells us that the family is something that we shall soon gloriously outgrow.

At the conclusion of a series of esays under this title, the late G. K.

Otherwise, you would have God making a being incapable of doing What He made it to do; God would thus be like an engineer who builds an engine that can't go. God, being all-wise and allpowerful, does not do things like Thus it conies about that that. God gives man the natural right to own property.

FROM INDIA. Sir,—We are delighted to get 'The Record," I am especially. Who is the fairy godmother or godfather who has arranged to have it sent? There are four Brothers in this lonely outpost—two are from Ireland, one from England, and I represent Australia. "The Record" has met with a great reception; "a great little pape r," is their verdict. Our school holds 450 pupils—all Indian, and about 70 per cent. Catholic. It is supported by fees and the Catholic Mission— government support is trivial, but their interference is, to me, most irritating after my Australian experience. With § much interest we are following the Catholic bid for Govern- Ft ment aid in Australia. Our prayers for its good success, and for "The Record."— St. Aloysius C.H. School, Quilon, Travancore.
Yours, etc., BROTHER L. A. NELSON.

Letters to the Editor ABOLITION OF POVERTY. Sir,—You editorial referring to the abolition of poverty was interesting, particularly re the "West Australian" and your statement that, "not, of course, that anyone imagines that poverty can be abolished." I hasten to say that it does not require imagination to face the physical The fact that facts of plenty. poverty amidst plenty exists is sufficient justification for Catholics all the world over to insist that the plenty be distributed to all, irrespective of class or creed. The fact that somebody owns this building or that factory or farm should not prevent the sale of those commodities which are wanted by everybody in far larger quantities than they can obtain them now, and which, the manufacturers and farmers are only too anxious to sell, what is the connecting link between consumer and producer, one only, You, sir. purchasing power. like many reformers, say that there is only one way to solve this problem. Your method may be right the vital point that you are missing is this: For the people of Australia to outline methods is simply waste of time, as it entails endless controversy and Again, for you to say division. that we cannot distribute the plenty to all which now exists is Catholics a defeatist attitude. and all creeds by coming together with a demand served on their politicians similar to our demand for an educational subsidy could have poverty abolished for all time. We have the goods, we have the people who want them; we have the politicians who must obey their electors and tell the economic experts to abolish poverty or make room for those experts who say they will do it. A fter all, sir, it's results that count.—Yours, etc., C. W. LANDQUIST. Maylands. Your sentiments appear to be identical with those expressed recently by Professor Murdoch in the "West Australian. The fallacy of the argument lies in the fact that poverty is confused with economic insecurity. Hence your blind demand for action almost certainly will be answered by the institutign of slavery—a remedy worse than the disease. This development is already foreshadowed in Australia in the widespread popularity of National Insurance.—Ed.) Sir,—In your leading article on the Abolition of Poverty, you seemed to be doubtful whether it No could ever be abolished. doubt you base your argument on a very literal translation of Our Lord's remark, Tor the poor you have always with you." (Not, mark you, "you will or shall have with you.") It cannot be denied that the problem of production has been solved. There is no apparent shortage of the things required for food. clothing or shelter, and since the problems involved in producing are far more intricate than in distributing, there is no reason why poverty cannot abolished Poverty is not an act of God. _so it is reasonable to conclude that any knot that has been tied by man can also be untied (exceptADVERTISERS.
ing, of course, the marriage knot). An increasingly large number of men and women claim that there are mathematical flaws in our monetary system, and in opposition to certified economists they state that, by no stretch of the imagination do the incomes of the public equal the costs of production of the manufacturers. In other words the world cannot buy the goods it produces, be-cause incomes distributed do not equal the prices of goods for sale. Some are under the impression. that if only we effected a changeof heart things would right themselves. Now to apply this reasoning: 1. The banker who now only issues or lends the principal, but demands repayment of principal' p s interest-, would. if we effected a change of heart, be satisfied \,•ith the repayment of the principal. 2. He would refuse to cancel money at a greater rate than the goods depreciate. 3. Every manufacturer would see that he distributed enough purchasing power to enable his goods to he bought. 4. People would not save to reinvest in new production, as it leaves goods on the market unsold. 5. Machinery would cease (uisplacing man-power! ! People who talk like that should realise that it is a cli nge o f system that we need, and not merely a change of heart, then there in ight be a chance of -1)01ishing poverty. When we abolish poverty we will get rid of Comm tinism.—Yours, etc., "SIMPLE SIMON " Southern Cross.

His Grace Unveils Portrait of "G.K.C." Social Calendar CEREMONY AT CHESTERTON CLUB.
A portrait of the late G. K. Chesterton was unveiled on Tuesday evening by His Grace the A rchbishop. in the Chesterton Club Rooms, to mark the first anniversary of the foundation of the Club. Speaking of the work of Chesterton, His Grace referred to the masterly way in which his pen had been wielded in defence of the Catholic Church. It was fitting that a portrait of Chesterton should find an honoured place He hoped in their clubrooms. that it would always recall to their minds the memory of a great Catholic writer and apologist; of a great warrior for the faith: that it would be an inspiration to them in their own work for that noble cause in which he had laboured indefatigably and with such outstanding success. The president of the club (Dr. V. H. Webster), in his address, said that some people had thought it strange that an organisation such as theirs should have chosen as its patron. not one

Pastoral Pioneer Death of Mr. M. J. Durack One of the earliest pioneers of the East Kimberleys, and leader of the historic overlanding expedition across the north of Australia in the eighties, Mr. Michael Joseph Durack, died suddenly in Perth on Tuesday last at the age of 84. Born in New South Wales, the late Mr. Durack became interested in cattle-raising as a young man, and with two brothers f ounded Mooraberrie Station on the Barcoo in Western Queensland in the early seventies. While the station was still in the early stages of development their prospects were ruined by drought, and what they did not lose in the drought was lost in a flood which followed. But his ill-fortune did not kill Mr. Durack's love for station life and he became associated with an uncle and subsequently with Mr. Lumley Hill, a prominent Queensland pastoralist.
with about half the number of cattle they set out with. That they had any left at all after such a journey was a remarkable achievement. The cattle were left in charge of stockmen, and Mr. Durack, with the chief members of the party, travelled back across the Northern Territory to Queensland and down to Brisbane. Next year he returned by ship around the north of Australia to Cambridge Gulf, accompanied by his cousin, Mr. M. P. Durack. In that year he founded Lissadell station, about 120 miles south of where ANyndham stands to -day, and Mr. M. P. Durack took up Argyle station In 1893 the cousins made pastoral history when they shipped 500 head of cattle from Derby to the south, the first beasts to be shipped from the port.

Opening of Osborne Park Presbytery On Sunday afternoon, July 25, in the most delightful weather a large number of people assembled at the Presbytery to witness the ceremony of the blessing and opening of the new building by His Grace Archbishop Prendiville. Punctually at 3 p.m. His Grace, accompanied by Rev. Father O 'Reilly, commenced the ceremony of the blessing of the new house, and then, with a number of visiting pliests, took his place on the verandah, where, on behalf of the laity of the parish, Mr. W. Reader extended to His Grace a hearty welcome. Rev. Father Langmead then thanked His Grace for honouring the parish in coming to perform this ceremony—his first official act in this new parish. Although the parish only commenced its separate existence in March last, a great deal of work had been accomplished by a very generous and enthusiastic people to make that day's 'f he parishioners opening possible. were therefore very thankful that His Grace had bestowed his benediction on their efforts by being present that Rev. Father Langmead a fternoon. also thanked the many priests (Very Rev. C.SS.R., Rev. Father Walsh, Father Law, C.SS.R., Very Rev. Dean Brennan, Rev. Father Moloney, Rev. Father Sheridan, Rev. Father Smith, Rev. Father O'Connor, Rev. Father Clery, Rev. Father O'Reilly, Rev. Father McGillicuddy) for their presence. His Grace then officially declared the new Presbytery open, and appealed to the people to support generously the efforts to liquidate the debt.

Sir Richard Terry, the eminent English musician, formerly director of music at Westminster Cathedral, London, and an authority on early Church music, told a meeting of the Music T eachers' Association on Saturday evening, 30th. ult., that he believed that in modern times ears had become less sensitive. "For one thing," he said, with a gesture towards the piano on the platform. "we have been debauched by the keyboard." Sir Richard referred to the compromise introduced by the tuning principle known as equal The subject of temperament. his talk was "Musical Misconceptions," and it was illustrated by records of plainsong of the tenth or eleventh centuries and later, made under his direction for the first volume of the ColSir umbia History of Music. Richard was entertainingly satirical at the expense of 19th. century misconceptions and conventions in the teaching of musical history and theory, especially the view of music as haying progressed from the alleged crudity and barbarousness of the achievements of centuries ago to someHe thing better and better. urged his listeners to combat this view, which was still prevalent, even , among educated people. he said. The current idea, generally, -was that there w ere two classes of music, jazz and "the classics," and that the latter meant works of a period extending from the late 18th. century to part of the 19th—actually a small fraction in the history of music. Satirically too, Sr Richard referred to the rules for writing music which academic circles laid down in his young days. the horror in those days of the "harshness" of bare fifths, etc. "I hope you do not have all those rules Modern nowadays," he said. composers. in their use of modal effects and harmonies that would formerly have been considered crude, showed affinity with the very old music, and they were trying to get back to the rhythmusic. mic freedom of that "breaking down the tyranny of the barline." Another practice of years ago which Sir Richard castigated was that of providing organ accompaniments for plainsong. the idea being that it was too crude to be given unaccompanied—"a horrible, barbaric, and illogical custom," he declared. Sir Richard declared that he had found Australian hospitality and kindness overwhelming.

The funeral of the late Mr. James Brennan, who died in the -St. John of God Hospital, Subiaco, on Sunday morning, at the age of 65 years, took place on Tuesday. Mr. Brennan was well known in business circles throughout the State for many years and was the leading figure in the establishment of the sport of trotting in Western Australia, and his funeral was largely attended. Requiem Mass was celebrated by Very Rev. Dr. Kennedy, Adm., at St. Mary's Cathedral, and the funeral was held in the afternoon, the cortege moving from the Cathedral at 3.30 p.m.
It is estimated that about 2,000 persons were at the graveside in the Catholic portion of the Karraatta Cemetery, where the remains were inteiTed. Those present included many priests of the Archdiocese, Colonel Manning (representing His Excellency the Governor, Sir James Mitchell), and a large number of Federal and State members of Parliament as well as many representatives of commercial houses, the \Vest Australian Trotting Association, the Fremantle Trottinc, Club, and numerous public bodies, including charitable organisations.

For six long months we looked forward to this, our annual "night-out," and for the next six months we shall enjoy the happy memory of having had a really good one, when it will be time then to commence looking forward again. We are sincerely grateful to all who helped to make our own event such a delightful one. To our parish priest, for the thrill and joy he gave us for his personal interest in our affair; to ,Mrs. Davis and her band of generous helpers, for the quality and quantity of the excellent supper; to Mrs. Hamilton, for providing every one of us with a good prize; to Mrs. Lawler and her assisting performers, for giving soul to our dance with their best thing in music, and we are grateful indeed to the ladies for the trouble they took and the time they spent in getting toWe look(-:l gether our lovely sets.

Some of the comments were: "How pretty they look!" "Is it the glow of the man-made light that does it?" "Or is it . . .?" Well, we gave the would-be beauty experts something to think about. We thank the judges, who judged so justly, the master of ceremonies, for keeping the movement going at such a regular and happy pace, and those who saw to the £.s.d. at the door, for without that, well, there would be no ball at all.

Church Committee Meeting. Our energetic committee held its usual Monday evening meeting at the school on Monday, August 2, Mr. John Sanders occupying the chair, Having disposed of the ordinary business on hand, the committee expressed its satisfaction at the progress of the Popular Girl Competition, and placed a minute on the books to the effect that the first publication of the voting up to date would be made at the euchre party on August 25—so popular girl aspirants and supporting committees, pull your socks up! Who will head the list? The "on the rails" position in a race is half the battle— so we're told by one who knows—so get there if you want to be "in it" at the end, Popular Girl Competition, Still going strong! The intense activity taeks one's breath away, and incidentally a good deal of one's sleep! However, it's good to be alive in St. Francis Xavier's these times, in spite of the terrific strain.

Rev. Father Winston, who was paying the annual visit of inspection to Goldfields schools, returned to Perth by Friday evening's express.
A very pretty wedding, with Nuptial Mass, was celebrated at the All Hallows' Church on July 29, when Theresa, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. J. McGinty, of King-street, was united in the holy bonds of Matrimony with Mr. Maurice Salmon, of Dwyer-street. Rev. Father Winston officiated. Mr. G. Ardagh was a passenger by the Eastern States express last Sunday, on his way to Sydney with the State hockey team. Miss G. Smith, of Ballarat, niece of Mrs. C. J. Morgan, spent a few daYs in Boulder during the week, before continuing her journey to Perth, where she will be the guest of Mrs. Paxton, of the Esplanade Hotel. Mr. Jim Treacy, of the Boulder Railway Station, has received notice of his transfer to Northam, A very happy little function took place at the Presbytery last Sunday evening, when members of the All Hallows Choir assembled for the purpose of making a presentation to Mr. J. J. Mr. J. McGinty, conductor Ardagh. of the choir, stated that no member had given better or longer years of service to the choir than Mr. Ardagh, and it was felt that he could not be allowed to retire without members showing their appreciation of his long service. He therefore had much pleasure in asking Father Brennan to make the presentation of a beautiful set of mother of pearl rosary beads to Mr, Ardagh on behalf of the choir. Father Brennan, in making the presentation, supported Mr. McGinty in a few short remarks, The friends of Mr. J. Butler will re. gret to learn that he is an inmate of St. John of God's Hospital, Kalgoor. lie,

Communism in Practice
SPREAD OF COMMUNISM EXPLAINED.
Allring Promises. OW is it possible that such a system, long since rejected scientifically, and now proved erroneous by experience, how is it, We ask, that such a system could spread so r apidly in all parts of the world? The explanation lies in the fact that too few have been able to grasp the nature of Communism. The majority instead succumb to its deception, skilfully concealed bv the most extravagant promises. By pretending to desire only the betterment of the condition of the working-classes, by urging the removal of the very real abuses chargeable to the liberalistic economic order, and by demanding a more equitable distribution of this world's goods (objectives entirely and undoubtedly legitimate), the Communist takes advantage of the present world-wide economic crisis t, draw into the sphere of his influence even those sections of the populace which on principle reject all forms of materialism and And, as every error terto-ism. contains its element of truth, the partial truths to which we have referred are astutely preserited according to the needs of time and place. to conceal, when convenient, the repulsive crudity and inhumanity of Communistic principles and tactics. Thus the Communist ideal wins over many of the better-minded members of the community. These in turn become the apostles of the movement among the younger intelligentsia, who are still too immature to recognise the intrinsic errors of the system. The preachers of Communism are also proficient in exploiting racial antagonisms and political divisions and oppositions. They take advantage of the lack of orientation characteristic of modern agnostic science in order to burrow into the universities, where they bolster up the principles of their doctrine with pseudo-scientific arguments. Liberalism Prepares the Way. 16. If we would explain the blind acceptance of Communism by so many thousands of workmen. we must remember that the way had been already prepared for it by the religious and moral destitution in which wage-earners had been left by liberal economics. Even on Sundays and holy -days, labour-shifts were given no time to attend to their essential religious duties. No one thought of building churches within convenient distance of f actories, nor of facilitating the w ork of the priest. On the contrary, laicism was actively and persistently promoted. with the r esult that we are now reaping the fruits of the errors so often denounced by Our Predecessors and by Ourselves. It can surprise no one that the Communistic fallacy should be spreading in a world already to a large extent dechristianised. Shrewd and Widespread Propaganda. . 17.

Horrors in Spain, Russia and Mexico tion is to be found in a propaganda so truly diabolical that the world has perhaps never witnessed its like before. It is directed from one common centre. It is shrewdly adapted to the varying conditions of diverse peoples. It has at its disposal great financial resources, gigantic organisations, international congresses and countless trained workers. It makes use of pamphlets and reviews, of cinema, theatre and radio, of schools, and even universities. Little by little it penetrates into all classes of the people. and even reaches the better-minded groups of the community, with the result that few are aware of the poison which increasingly pervades their minds and hearts. Silence of the Press. 18. A third powerful factor in the diffusion of Communism is the conspiracy of silence on the part of a large section of the nonCatholic press of the world. We say conspiracy, because it is impossible otherwise to explain how a press usually so eager to exploit even the little daily incidents of life has been able to remain silent for so long about the horrors perpetrated in Russia, in Mexico. and even in a great part of Spain; and that it should have relative;y so little to say concerning a world organisation as vast as Russian Communism. 'chi:silence is due in part to shortsighted political policy, and is favoured by various occult forces which for a long time have lieep. working for the overthrow of the Christian Social Order.

Meanwhile the sorry effects of this propaganda are before our Where Communism has eyes. been able to assert its power— and here We. are thinking with special affection of the people of Russia and Mexico—it has striven by every possible means, as its champions openly boast, to destroy Christian civilisation and the Christian religion by banishing every rememhrance of them from the hearts of men, especially of the young. Bishops and priests were exiled, condemned to forced labour, shot and done to death in inhuman fashion; laymen suspected of defending their religion were vexed, persecuted, dragged off to trial and thrown into prison. Horrors of Communism in Spain. 20. Even where the scourge of Communism has not yet had time enough to exercise to the full its logical effect, as witness Our beloved Spain, it has, alas, found compensation in the fiercer violence of its attack.

The WORLD of SPORT (By "Recorder.")
Football CARNIVAL FIXTURES. Saturday, August 7: Western Australia v. South Australia, at Subiaco. Wednesday, August 11: Victoria v. South Australia, at Subiaco. Saturday, August 14: Western Australia v Victoria, at Subiaco. The Dimming of a Star. Ted Holdsworth was hailed as a new champion in the goal-getting business, and certainly his peiformances early in the season—in fact until he reached his century of goals—justified those who so hailed him. Recently he has been unable to do anything right. In his last two games he has kicked only two goals, one in each. An injury he met with at Perth Oval may have had quite a lot to do with this, and his supporters are welcoming the break that Carnival games will give in the hope that the star may shine brightly once again. To every player, soon or late, comes a period when everything is awry. Holdsworth is passing through such a stage, but that he will come good again is the opinion of "Recorder." Council Secretary. Mr. Con Hickey, Secretary of the Australian Council, is well past the three score year and ten, yet is still hale and hearty. He was busy during the week renewing old acquaintances lie has and making new friends. been kept busy, and all will hope that his dream of the greatest Carnival ever will be fulfilled. Visitors. With the Victorian Carnival team are some who are leading spirits in Catholic affairs in Melbourne. Among these are Mr. Bob Rush, President of the Australian Council; Mr. John Meere, and Dr. Kevin McCarthy. Bob and his brothers are old boys of Christian Brothers Colleges in Victoria, and one of the first who greeted him on his arrival was Mr. Bergin St. J. Kennedy, who was a school mate of his. Bob was a renowned Coilingwood player and all his brothers were well known footballers and cricketers. Wherever there is football, you will find Dr. Kevin McCarthy, who is a delegate for the Footscray Club. An excellent judge of the game, and popular with all is the Doctor, who follows our national game so closely. Mr. John Meere is Secretary of North Melbourne, and is a prominent figure in C.Y.M.S. circles in Melbourne. He is a fluent speaker and an able debater. On more than one occasion he has been manager of Victorian Lea. .gue teams, and he has always been praised for his effective organisation and his happy knack of making it always "a happy family." Haydn Bunton. This player, who will be making his -first appearance in this State, has been ranked as one of the greatest players o f all time. He came to Fitzroy from the country. in 1931, and won the "Brownlow Medal- for fairest and best in his first two years of League football, and won it again in 1935, making three victories in all, something never fie is the done by any other player, only one of the visiting Victorians who played in the Sydney Carnival of 1933. He is captain of his club, Fitnoy Their Weights and Heights. The Victorians avcrage 12st. 91b. : the §outh Australians 12st. .1 111. ; and the W.A. team 12st. In all there are 26 players over 6it. Ten of these are Victorin height. ians, while South Australia has the tallest player, who is 6ft. 4in. Denis Ryan is a Victorian who came from the country home of many tine Ile won "The footballers—Albury. B rownlow Medal." Jack Mueller: Probably the player— next to Bunton—who will attract most attention will be Jack Mueller, who is •considered to he the most spectacular and most effective player in Victoria. He giands 6ft. 2in. and weighs 14st. He takes brilliant high marks and kicks goals from 70 Yards out. It ic said that he will play at halt-back in the t 'arnival matches. Roiley Fischer is a club-mate of Mueller, though he originally came He is ranked from South Australia. as the greatest ruck man in Victoria. Keith Shea: This chap unfolded grand football when he played here Stationed .previously with Victoria.

a t the pivot, he was an object lesson to all who aspire to the champion class. His disposal was well nigh effective, and in the midst of the wildest hurley-burley he was always cool, calm and collected. Jack Regan has played here before. He is 'Collingwood's star goal-custod. ian. George Doig played against him t wice, getting five goals on one occasion and three on the other. A glorious high mark; he kicks in well; and his ground play is also good, and he is ever scrupulously fair in all his methods. Wilfrid Mohr, captain of St. Kilda, is 27 years of age, and has been playing League football for eight seasons. In the 1930 Carnival at Adelaide he headed the goal-kickers with a tally of 33. Last season he won the Victorian League goal-kicking with 101 goals, and one of his best perform. ances is his kicking of ten goals against Collingwood. Herb Matthews is a brilliant centre wing man, and one of whom our Carnival coach, Johnnie Leonard. speaks very highly. He is expected to win the Brownlow Medal this season. I have touched on those of the Victorians who appear to me as outstanding, but each is a high-class player in his own sphere, and they should win from South Australia on Wednesday, August 11.

In 1930 This will put it right: the captain of the Carnival team was Tom Outridge, and Jerry Dolan was captain of the 1933 team.

His next fight was at New Orleans, in America, and his opponent was Jim Corbett, who was years younger than Sullivan, who cried enough in the 21st round. He held the title for 10 years. but was noted for picking his mark, one rather uncharitable critic leaving it on record of him that "he beat more good men and dodged more better ones than any other boxer in the history of the ring."

But Owens fought back in splendid style, and slowly wore down his redoubtable opponent, to eventually knock him out in the third round, The best display of the night came from S.

So sutrmoning Andy to my presence I consulted him as to what 1 shculd do. pending another summons from the young lady of the Castle. He at once proposed that I should go . "fishing." Curiously enough, I had never thought of that, for although 1. had once or twice handled a trout -rod on a Devonshire stream I was no fisherman. Hewevel-, it is never too late to learn, and accepted Andy's suggestio3 without any hesitation. There was only one difficultr—i neither rod nor fishing-tackle of any description.

Certainly the weather did iie . look promising to my unsophisticated eye, but Andy assured ir that it was a fine fresh day. an, . that the fish were rising. About a mile above the yillagc was a long deep pool.. throug! which the river poured in a blac . sullen stream, foaming at the banks round rocks and boulders. and rushing at the lower end towards a noisy fall. On the verge of the pool I took my stand and began to cast. but sooner had I raised the rod than my line seemed to be at the wind's mercy, and I found it almost impossible to strike the water. Again and again I made the attempt in vain. Andy looked on in puzzled wonder, but made no sign whatever until I had succeeded in fastening the line to the stump of a tree pl- . jecting- from the opposite haul:of the river. Then he said, with a twinkle of the eye: "1.7(nir honour Vill he out of practice? Sure, the line's fast this time. but mores the pity isn't a fish!"

I renewed my efforts, and now and again, directed by my henchman, succeeded in striking the pool with my cast-line, and lashing the water as with the thong of a whip. No result whatever ensued, except once, where there was a slight boil in the water close to my tail-fly, and I caught a glimpse of something like a fish's shining back. "It was a salmon, your honour!" cried Andy. "A salmon!" I echoed, panting with my exertions. "Did he rise to the fly?" "Sure he rose to take a look at it!" returned Andy, grinning. "Try him again. sor—drop it gintly over his nose." I tried to drop it gently, but it fell like a lump of lead! Again and again I cast, and always the same disastrous result; till at last, panting, perspiring, and out of breath, for the rod was heavy and my back was aching, I paused in despair. "l'in afraid it's no use," I said. "I'm no fisherman!" - Will your honour let me try?" asked Andy; and only too delighted to be rid of it, I handed him the rod. No sooner had he taken the rort in his hand than the ragged rogue became transfigured, and I.recognised a master of the craft. Neither the weight of the heavy rod nor the force of the blustering wind troubled him in the least. so completely did native talent and acquired skill make him the master of the situation Standing a few yards hack from the bank, his face set. his body sl;;Jitly bent, he wielded the grrat rod as if it had been a wand, and with nimble turns of the wrist made the line slip out and the flies alight on the ;. ?r with a touch as soft: as gossamer.

"He's drowning himself rushing down s tream, so! Hold on to him yet!" How it happened I cannot guess—certainly it was through no skill of mine—but a few minutes later the fish had lost all power of fight andIwas drawing him gently towards the shallows where Andy was waiting, gaff in hand. At the first attempt Andy missed him, and with a plunge and a struggle the fish almost broke away. The next moment the gaff had done its work, and away went the fish over Andy's shoulder, alighting in the grass at my feet—a fine fresh-run silver trout of about three pounds. Small as he was from an experienced fisherman's point of view, he seemed in my eyes a monster, and I was jubilant. Out came my flask, and we drank my first victim's health in mountain dew. "When your honour's ready," said Andy, "we'll try Pol na Be-. dach Pol na Bedach Gal—in English, the Pool of the White Trout—lay just above the piece of water we had just fished, and no sooner had we reached its banks that I discovered that there had been no mistake in its christening. It was a dark, long pool. so situated as to be rippled from end to end by the westerly w ind, which was then blowing; and everywhere among its eddies the white trout were rising. Under Andy's direction I again essayed the rod, and this time more successfully. I hooked several fish, and managed to secure three out of the five—the largest was only about two pounds, but all were bright and fresh run. So small were they that Andy did not attempt to use the gaff, but, taking off his narrow-brimmed chimney-pot hat, he used that as a landing-net, a task which was the easier, owing to the fact that there was a large hole in the upper rim through which the water could stream comfortably. "Sure it's poor sport your honour is haying," cried Andy, as he captured the last of the small fry, a silvery youngster of about a pound. "Will we try for a salmon?" A s he spoke the water beneath us boiled, a dark back gleamed and rolled over, and a great circle widened in the pool. "Monomondiaol!" said Andy. grinning. "That's a big customer! He'll be nine or tin pounds if he's an ounce!"

A LITURGICAL CATECHISM
We all need the quality of resistance in this world, arid a lot of it. Particularly we need resistance to temptation of all sorts, especially the besetting- temptation, to slight our jobs • and loaf, or to dodge a hard - j4 and do something easier. Yet the world is rather well filled with people who take their opinions from others without any attempt at resistance—who are alarmed at anything that alarms those about them. and are swept off their feet in a panic of tiTe reason for which they know nothing whatever. We are given brains to use. If we are too lazy to use them, other people \ vill use us. for there are plenty of people who get. their living by using others. The faculty of resistance can o f course, be carried too far. bit-t it very valuable just the same Waves of suggestion blow t hrough life like winchBut they need not topple over any considerable portion of humanity if men and women will show enough resistance to suggestion to find out the facts before they are stampeded. Far better be downright stubborn than to be so weak and tractable as to be swept this way and that. without ever thinking. or asking why.
This poem was written by the President of Saorstat Eireann, Mr. Eamon de Valera, while he was at Richmond Barracks, Dublin, awaiting execution 'after being sentenced to death.)
Q. What is the orientation of a church? A. Originally churches were built so that the apse faced the east (the Orient) and the principal entrance due west. So universally was this orientation carried out at one time that the Gospel side came to be known as the North side (where the men assembled) and the Epistle side as the South side ( where the women assembled).

Thou Sacred Heart, hast known the prison cell; The pangs of hunger Thou hast known as well; The soldiers' rude assault has torn Thy frame, Their ribald speech blasphemed Thy Holy Name. The judge's sentence has been Thine like ours— The wanton exercise of brutal powers— The doom of death was passed upon Thy heart, A Mother's tears were shed, as Ye did part. 0, Mother, for the love of thy dear Son, Be with us till our day of life is done.

The Cure d'Ars, whose feast is celebrated to-day. was born at Dardillv, near Lyons. Shortly a fter ordination he was appointed to the parish of AN. which at that time was well-known for its indifference to the faith. Very soon it became a centre of fervour and divine charity, and immense crowds were drawn from all parts to this little village on account of his saintly ministry. He died in 1859. Tuesday, August 10: St Laurence. Martyr. Double of second class, with octave. Red. St. Laurence is one of the most famous martyrs of Rome. He was deacon to Pope Sixtus II . and had charge of the treastre:, of the Church. On reftising t;; deliver these to his persecutors. he was martyred by being burnt on a gridiron. 258 A.D.

Q. Was this rule absolute? A. There were many exceptions due to reasons of a practical order—the lie of the ground, the nature of the soil, the surroundings; while in the 5th, century the apse faced due west, for at that period the priest used to celebrate Mass with his face turned towards the people (i.e., towards the east). After the 5th. century the present usage in saying Mass was adopted and the former orientation restored. From the 1 1 th. century to the Renaissance the strict rule was generally observed, but after the Renaissance the observance of it has been more or less abandoned. Q. How are the right or left sides of the church determined? A. By the crucifix upon thc altar—the right-hand of the figure of Our Lord points to the right side of the church. THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK. Sunday : Heroism does not mean the absence of fear, but the conquest of it.—Henry Van Dyke. Monday : To be born lucky is merely to be horn with a reasonable amount of common sense. Tuesday: To preserve our cheerfulness amid sickness and troubles is a sign of right and good spirit. W ednesday: If what is said about von is true, set yourself right; if it is false, let it go for what it will fetch. Thursday: God powerfull helps the obedient, and the very reason that they submit their will to others renders them masters ot themselves in His service. Friday: It is difficult to say who is the guiltier. he who retails s candal or he who listens to it. Saturday: Behind that dark sorrow of yours there may be the anthem of angels and ,the peace of God.

THE RECORD.
The Dignity of Woman The Memorandum on the Status of Women which the International Union of Catholic W omen's Leagues has presented to the League of Nations was outlined by a member of the Bi reau of the at a public meeting held in Brussels tinder the presidency of the Apos tolic Nuncio to Belgium. "The Bureau of the 1.C.C.W.L believes that legislation which aims to assure to woman her place in the world, might Nvell be inspired by the following considerations: " Woman is a human being. created for a personal end which she has the right and duty to pursue in all freedom. "The physiological differences between man and woman entail no inferiority •whatsoever with regard to one another. but' (!ifferent aptitudes for different functi,)us and of equal value. " The happiness. of man and of xv 0171:111, as well a.-; the happiness o f humanity, requires of each of the responsibility of the good. and service corrt• I,, ,e ding to the aptitudes • the Creator allotted u: t heta. - This service will be real and • te only if man and woman :•ssure to society, in every ! •H \\ here it is required, the hur(-lations conforming to the spechle differences of their natures." l' ' ,!

Marital Collaboration. he memorandum says the z4),-,(1 of society, the good of the man and the woman united in marriage.. and the good of the children "require unity. stability, and the indissolubility of the marriage tie," and "demand the collaboration of Loth spouses in the guidance of the family and in !he work of educating the children."

would not be affected without her free consent, and that in future marriages of different nationalities it should be made possible for each of them to adopt the nationality of the other, considering the fact that it is normal that the family have a common nationality and that this should be determined by the convenience of the family unit." The Right of Appeal. Further, legislation should "take the :meaning- of 'collaboration' r ather than of 'subordination' as the standard of legal disposition determining- the right and duties of the respective spouses; to see to it, nevertheless, that the authority be delegated to the husband and father in cases where the disagreement of the two spouses gravely compromises the life of the family society, but always to give the woman the right of appeal." It should also "see that the disposition of the worldly goods he such that the carrying out of the family good be assured by the collaboration of the two spouses:" "recognise equal rights for the man and for the woman in cases of guardianship and succession." and "intervene as far as it is necessary and according to the possibilities for creating economic conditions such that the work of the father should suffice to provide necessary resources for the f amily and thus contribute to the suppression of a too frequent in equality in the allotment of duties in the families of salaried people. where the mother actually must give the double effort of professional work and household w ork."
