The Press and Russia
"Seeker of Truth," Sydney: There has been much propaganda put out by the Capitalist Press to indicate that Communism in Russia is anti-Christ. I don't think the Capitalist Press knows very much on the subject of anti-Christ. Nor is it very interested in that subject. When political expediency seemed to require it, the Press sought to enkindle antipathy to Russian Communism by dwelling on its anti-religious character, hoping to appeal to such religious susceptibilities as its readers might possess. But lately the religious issue has fallen into abeyance, and are own English Press service is bent on showing us that Communism in Spain is not really anti-religious, but merely antiFascist. At present it would not he expedient to allow religious sentiment to swing public opinion in the direction of a cause favoured by the Italian and German Dictators. But when the present situation begins to solve itself a new expediency could quite well revive a flood of cables about the anti-religious character of Russian Communism.

But pronouncements by the Catholic Church are not heeded not given publicity in non-Catholic countries, nor in Capitalist countries.

N his famous encyclical, "Rerum Novarum," Pope Leo XIII., in laying down the Catholic principle of cooperation between employers and employees, made reference to the guilds of the Middle Ages. "History attests," said the Pope, "what excellent results were effected by the Artificers' Guilds of a former day."

Surely it may be urged with some degree of truth that the mediaeval guild system cannot be applied to the needs and wants of this twentieth century. Unfortunately, as a result of the Industr,ial Revolution. Capitalism has become so strong that the workers of the world find themselves helpless in its grip. Again, to-day we have the class of shopkeepers and middlemen, whereas in the Middle Ages there was practically direct producer intercourse between and consumer. To-day we have the permanent working class, but in the Middle Ages a man A few years as a could rise. journeyman soon enabled him to set up as a master craftsman. There was no gulf between master and workman. C orporatism. Well, the point is this: It is obvious enough that Capitalism is the great obstacle to the amelioration of the workers' lot. Yet in the days of the guilds a man had a chance to improve himself. Therefore, capital must be reorganised and a modern system resembling that of the mediaeval In guilds must be introduced. the words of Pope Pius: "The reign of mutual collaboration between justice and charity in social-economic relations can only be achieved by a body of professional and interprofessional organisations. working together to effect, under forms adopted to different places and circumstances, what has been called the Corporation." ( par 54.) The Catholic Church, however, does not teach that the mediaeval guild system is the express remedy for the social abuses of Her duty is to. lay the day. down the principles of social justice, and this has been done most ably and clearly by our present Catholic The Holy Father. principle that as many workers as possible should be owners is set down against the capitalist scheme of a minority of owners and a majority of non-owners; and the Church points to the guilds of the Middle Ages as an illustration of her teaching. The Pope in this connection makes a pertinent remark in his recent encyclical: "These guilds, ridiculed as 'mediaeval' by the liberalism of ftohrem.,,last century, are to-day claiming the admiration of our c ontemporaries in many countries which are endeavouring to revive them in some modern Trade Unionism. As a final point, it may be objected that the Trade Unions provide for the worker what the guilds of former days did for But Trade Unionism achim. cepts the class distinction of Capital and Labour: it is merely a protective organisation of employees against exploitation by the bosses; it gives the worker no chance of getting out of the rut and becoming his own However, it must be master. clearly borne in mind that, as long as the present social system exists, the Catholic Church looks with favour on the Unions, provided that they fight only for what is just.

A water jug and a large glass ,to serve as a chalice, were added. The altar breads were prepared from ordinary bread immediately before the consecration.

Openetl With Expectafion Triumph of Failure A Portrait of Thomas More, Saint. Statesman, Scholar, Eyre and Algernon Cecil. Spottiswoode, London. The description of scholar. statesman, saint, accorded St. Thomas More by Mr. Cecil, while conveying some idea of the v ersatility of his subject in that it postulates pre-eminence in the world of the mind, in that of action and in that of the soul, is by no means comprehensive. For St. Thomas was more—he was noted as a wit, as an author, as a He diplomatist, as a lawyer. was the outstanding figure of his time and his position, combined with his wonderful reputation for integrity and sanctity, was sufficient to make even the tyrannical Henry baulk at including his name in the Bill of Attainder and thus condemning him withAnd this view of out a trial.

For hero More certainly was. When many of the bishops—with the notable exception of St. John Fisher—and most of the noble and wealthy and learned took the oath. More was content to range himself against them and with the poorer clergy. By taking it, he could have gained much in a w orldly way.

Triumph of Failure. Mr. Cecil, who is by no means the least among notable converts o f recent years, would appear to be himself a man of many parts. He not only ably traces More's life through its many phases, but also summarises the tortuous theological arguments of the Dialogues and the social and political satire of More's other works; he pauses to study the humanist movement and the Reformation, and sketches the leading figures of both movements; and in addition, he treats of the character of his subject with the thoroughness of a good biographer and with the sympathy and veneration of a Catholic for Morea saint of his Church. over, Mr. Cecil does not fall into the error of concluding, as many, even Catholics, have done, that For More was a great failure. a long time, it seemed as if his great sacrifice had been made in In the eighteenth cenvain. tury, it was probably generally thought that Henry and his successors had succeeded in uprooting for all time the Church in England. But we, in the twentieth century, have other ideas. For England to-day is faced with the problem either of reaping the fruit of the harvest sown by the forces let loose by the lust and avarice of a selfish king or of returning to the Faith of More and Fisher. Perhaps the outstanding feature of Mr. Cecil's book is the sympathetic manner in which More's preparation for the martyrdom he knew must come is described. From his retirement from the Chancellorship in 1532 until his death in 1535, St. Thomas was steeling a nature which abhorred any kind of physical pain against the temptation to apostatise. On his Nv a v to London a year before his death, his final battle with the forces of evil was fought and won, and he announced his victory to his sonin-law thus: "Son Roper, I thank Our Lord the field is won." After this his resolution never faltered.

Dr. Kelly, when he undertook the production of a book suitable for school use, dealing with the story of fifteen centuries of Irish Catholicism, undertook an extremely difficult task.

only deviated three times and each of these deviations adds to the value of his work and does not make it unduly bulky. He devotes a chapter to examples of the poetry of the early Irish Saints, and included in his very brief selection, there is the wonderful Breastplate of St. Patrick; he spent some little space in refuting the ridiculous, but none the less popular. assertion that the ancient Irish Church was not in communion with Rome; and he considers, for. a chapter, the evidence for and against the authenticity of the famous Bull of Adrian IV., and finally rejects it as a forgery. Yet the whole work is confined to less than three hundred and fifty pages. Irish Church Unique. Even though this book is produced for school use, there is much in it to interest the general Catholic reader, particularly the Catholic of Irish descent. For there is but little known in this country of the history of the Most Australian Irish Church. some Catholics have merely vague idea of sufferings during penal days and some still vaguer idea of the days when the Irish Church was the glory of Western Europe. Yet the Irish Church well repays study. It is, in at least two respects. unique among the Churches of Christendom. No other country has ever accepted the Faith so readily and so thoroughly and kept it so fervently: and the Church in no other country has produced in the first two centuries of its existence so many saints and scholars and missionaries, and acquired such a reputation for sanctity and learning as the Irish Church did. Its persecutions did not come until much later, and from them it has emerged triumphant, its vigour unaffected. The second respect in which the Irish Church is upique illustrates clearly the truth of a spiritual, as opposed to a materialist, interpretation of history. No one, in the eighteenth century. if given a preview of the great English-speaking countries of the new world as they appear in our own days, would have imagined that they would all possess a strong and flourishing CaThat they do is tholic Church. due, curiously enough, to the fact that England tried to crush Catholicism in Ireland.

Now, there will be a great opportunity for those who wish to help in the noble work that is being done at Castledare. On Sunday, November 7, the Annual Reunion of Friends and Wellwishers will take place. His Grace the Archbishop has very graciously consented to preside at the gathering. It is hoped that a large number of Catholic people will go out and give themselves the pleasure of an inspection of this Junior Orphanage, and lighten the almost crushing burden of anxiety about financial affairs by generous contributions.

"We publicly and solemnly protest against Hitler's enslaving the German people. denying them the freedom of assembly, of education, of the Press, of conscience: and we pray that soon f ullest liberty, peace and happiness may return to suffering, deeply humiliated Germany."

Majestic SalzburA ALL BURG is particularly dear to the hearts of "S Austrians because it has brought them so much fame— through Mozart and through the Musical Festival which is held there - in his honour every August. when the cream of the w orld's artists foregather."
It was for this reason, said Dr. Paul Dengler, in delivering a lecture to members of the Chesterton Club on Thursday night, 16th. inst., that he had chosen He Salzburg for his subject. himself was born in Vienna, "well, just to be Viennese." but his brother, his sisters, his people were of Salzburg, and there he had spent a good deal of his life.

Returning to his native land, Mozart was now at the height of his powers and created with astonishing rapidity works that will remain classic for all time: operas, symphonies, quartets, concertos, Masses, litanies, offertories, and his great "Requiem." He died when he was only 34 and was buried with the least possible expense in a pauper's grave his exact resting place being now unknown. Though he was a man of most lovable character, his passing was scarcely noticed. He was horn at Salzburg in 1756, and died at Vienna in 1791.
It was in fact the cultural city of Europe. Every year over 70 nations were represented at the annual Festival there. Dr. Dengler described the town itself, its singular beauty, its glorious environment, and its historic setting—wherein lies its charm. Indeed, it is very old, reflecting as in a mirror the entire history of European civilisation. Perhaps the most interesting period of government was from 800 A.D. to 1800, when Salzburg was ruled by a series of Prince-Archbishops as an independent cityState. .After the Napoleonic wars it was handed over to Austria. Mozart was born in Salzburg in 1756, and is honoured there in a special manner. The house of his birth has been transformed into a museum ,and a number of interesting relics are preserved. Dr. Dengler read several extracts from the letters Mozart wrote to his sister when, as a child prodigy, he travelled with his father and played before the r oyal courts of all Europe. He c onfessed a deep admiration for Mozart, as a great man rather than a musical genius, and related several of the more intimate passages from the composer's life as a basis for his attachment. He particularly admires his manliness, his sincerity and self-confidence, which was still evident even in those later years when his genius did not receive the recognition it deserved. Buried as a pauper. the site of his grave is unknown. When the citizens of Salzburg decided to erect a memorial in his honour, they dug deep down in the square

The pictures disappeared at the beginning of this c entury, when the ancient Abbey of Valloires, in Picardy, was c onfiscated by the then anticlerical Government and the Brothers of St. Vincent de Paul— temporarily in charge—were expelled. A local Catholic bought the property from the State and, waiting the return of the Brothers, used it as a sanatorium. It is to this Catholic that the paintings were returned. They -included a Nativity by Boucher. No indication is given as to w here the pictures have been during these 30 years.

PERTH, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25. 1937.
Serbs, Croats and Slays N the Serbia of old the nation belonged almost entirely to the Orthodox Church. But when Serbia, as a result of the World War, grew into Jugo-Slavia, the Catholics found themselves a minority still, but a strong and united one. composing thirty-seven per cent, of the total population. The late King Alexander, realising that if his policy of centralisation were to succeed, he should make the Catholic Croats and Slays feel spiritually at home in their new fatherland, scrapped the six different Concordats with Rome which applied to his various provinces, and arranged in their stead one common Concordat, uniting ecclesiastically the whole Catholic body. This arrangement with the Pope was effected a few months before his assassination at Marseilles. It was signed in 1935, and was recently presented to Parliament for ratification. After a stormy debate, and after violent riots in Belgrade. fostered by the Orthodox Church, Parliament ratified it by a majority of forty. This figure by no means represents the real strengh of the supporters of the Treaty, for seventy, Catholic Deputies who never took their seats would have swelled the majority considerably. The policy embodied in the new Constitution granted complete freedom and equality of religion. Like every sound treaty it is a compromise between the two parties to their mutual advantage. The Orthodox Church whimpered because it was dethroned from its former preponderance as State Church, a privilege to which it was never entitled. Riots were fostered to force the hand of the Government, and even the Archbishop of Canterbury, who still holds a virtual prerogative of State recognition was moved to intervene on the side of Establishment. But the Government was adamant, and henceforth all religions will be treated on a basis of absolute equality. An interesting feature of the Concordat is its treatment of the education question. Religious instruction is T1OW obligatory in all primary and secondary schools. The five million Catholics of Jugo-Slavia have now the same rights as the seven million Orthodox, whose ancestors fell into schism in the fourteenth century. The State supports the schools in all cases, and where these schools are completely, or in the majority, Catholic., it guarantees a Catholic staff. In State schools. where Catholic children are in the minority, the compulsory religious curriculum for that minority is left completely in the hands of the pastor, and all text-books containing anti-Catholic propaganda are forbidden. Moreover, whereas formerly a permit had to .be procured from the State for the erection of a secondary Catholic school, the Church is now at liberty to build where and when it wishes. Jugo-Slavia's Concordat has not only done justice to Catholic education, hut it has effected the moral consolidation of the Catholic community—an example which might profitably be followed by tt-e Australiatt Cornnion wealth.
I
The Highest Common Factor
N these later days while theological disintegration in the nonCatholic bodies proceeds faster than ever, there is a growing movement among them to provide a return to something called Christian unity. The recent World Conference on Faith and Order held in Edinburgh belongs to it, and the tendency is reechoed in this week's report of the projected union of the Metht, (list and Presbyterian Churches in Australia. On the face of it, this is ,a movement that should have our sympathy as harmonising, with Our Lord's desire that there should be one fold and one Shepherd. But the mere physical unity produced by the gathering of a number of individuals into one place of worship. is a perversion of the truth unless it symbolises an invisible unity of mind and heart. * * * * It is asserted, of course, that such unity is effected when men of various beliefs meet and pray and seek together a common basis of doctrine and worship. But the assertion breaks down on the fact that this effort after unity is based upon an acceptance of fun-

Japan's China
CRING the past week preparations for war on a large scale have been going on quietly in both Japan and China. Nothing quite like it has been seen in any of the localised conflicts of the past twenty years. Little is known about . tilt actual strength of the opposing armies, but their magnitude is reflected in reports from both countries of military movements unheard of in their modern history. The Nanking Government has warned the people that the war would be long, and with heavy reverses at the outset, though victory would be theirs eventually. The prospect of such a war is a terrible thing. but still more ominous is another aspect of the matter, that Japan should be allowed to take possession of Peking and its surrounding Province, and now make feverish preparations to blow up Nanking without a word of protest from a single other Power.
Altar of Moloch T the annual meeting of the Catholic Social Guild held recently in Britain, a lecturer on the social and economic effects of the falling birth-rate pointed out that we are now faced with an imminent and rapid fall in population. This fate not only awaits Britain and the white Dominions, hut is the scourge of the whole of Western Europe. With Japan and tht Orient in ihe ascendant, the consequences are plain. It is a fallacy to look to a fall in population to cure the employment problem. The only remedy is a change in the general attitude towards marriage and labour, a moral change such as the Church demands. Unless that change is brought about, the child of the future will continue to be sacrificed on the altar of the standard of living, and the Orient will have secured the domination of the world, for the sake of the proverbial mess of pottage.

Cardinal Copello, Archbishop of Buenos Aires, has authorised a movement to raise funds for an altar which, when the proper times arrives, will be placed in some Madrid church.

Everybody was there and all thoroughly enjoyed themselves at cards and other novelty games. Jack says he is going to add an extension to the building to cope with the rush—nothing like it. We only hope that the rush continues, and, by the way, there is rumour of a house party at the residence of Mrs. D. O'Connor, 114 Hordern-street. If it's going to be anything like Jack's better book a seat, or you will be left outside. On Monday night a large crowd assembled at the residence of Mrs. Pyke, for a house party in aid of the Labour Stall, and everybody came away quite satisfied after a real jolly night. Whilst they were enjoying themselves at Mrs. Pyke's, another enjoyable function took place in the Kindergarten, in aid of the Irish Stall. They, too, were quite pleased—so there is something to suit everybody's taste and real good enjoyment to be got. Thursday night found us at the coinmunity concert, where we had a fine programme of music, comedy and other clever items. The most evciting event was the bicycle race which was won by Vivian Leithead. to whom we offer congratulations. Next Week's Events. Monday 1 Election time is near and "Labour" are going strong. They are holding a big function in the Kindergarten, in aid of the Labour Stall candidate, Miss C. Prendiville. So do not miss the event of the season.

Thursday: Community Concert, at the Victoria Park Town Hall, in aid of Australian Stall. Friday: Euchre in Kindergarten. So there is no reason to complain, as everybody is well catered for in the matter of amusements. So let's hope those different functions will be well patronised. Sacred Heart Sodality. Once again we wish to remind members, old and new, that their monthly meeting takes place on Sunday next, which, by the way, is the Feast of the "Little Flower.So jet there be no absentees,

After devotions in the evening, a meeting of Councillors and Prefects was held in the Convent School Hall, with President Mr. J. Lowry in the chair. The secretary, Mr. J. McGinty, reported on several matters attended to by him and the issue of proper attendance cards to prefects. The various prefects reported on the attendance of their guilds and it is evident that they understand their duties more clearly and are interested in their The spiritual director, Rev. work.

Ousepp, a Catholic, is to be the first Chief Judge of the highest judicial tribunal in Cochin, which is to be known henceforth as the High Court of Cochin. Mr. Ousepp has had a brilliant career, and is the recipient of honours from the Holy Father and from the Maharajah of Cochin. He received the Cross Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice on the occasion of the episcopal silver Jubilee of Archbishop Kandathyl. POLAND BUILDS LINE OF CHURCHES ALONG THE RUSSIAN FRONT. Another new church has been added to the line that Polish Catholics are building along the f rontier of Soviet Russia. It is at the village of Mikarzewieze, in the Pinsk diocese. Military and civil officials attended the opening. These churches, built by public subscription, are looked on by Catholics as a line of defence against anti-religious propaganda from across the border and as a symbol before the people of Russia of the Catholic life of Poland.

Encyclical "Divini Redemptoris" Aid to the Church. S UCH is the positive task, embracing at once . theory and practice, which the 'Church undertakes in virtue of the mission, confided to her by Christ, of constructing a Christian society, and, in our own times, of resisting unto victory the attacks of Communism. It is the duty of the Christian State to concur actively in this spiritual enterprise of the Church, aiding her with the means at its command, which although they be external devices, have nonetheless for their prime object the good of souls. 74. This means that all diligence should be exercised by states to prevent within their territories the ravages of an antiGod campaign which shakes society to its very foundations. For there can be no authority on earth unless the authority of the Divine Majesty be recognised; no oath Nv ill bind which is not sworn in the Name of the Living God. We repeat what We have said with frequent insistence in the past, especially- in Our Encyclical, "Caritate Christi": "How can any contract be maintained, and what value can any treaty have, in which every guarantee of conscience is lacking? And how can there be talk of guarantees of conscience when all faith in God and all fear of God have vanished? Take away this basis, and with it all moral law falls, and there is no remedy left to stop the gradual but inevitable destruction of peoples, families, the State, civilisation itself."
r,
Provision for the Common Good. 75. It must likewise be the special care of the State to create those material conditions of life Nv.ithout which an orderly society cannot exist. The State must take every measure necessary to supply employment, particularly for the heads of families and for the young. To achieve this end demanded by the pressing needs of the common welfare, the wealthy classes must be induced to assume those burdens without w hich human society cannot be saved nor they themselves remain secure. However, measures taken by the State with this end in view ought to he of such a nature that they will really affect those w ho actually possess more than their share of capital resources, and who continue to accumulate them to the grievous detriment of others. Prudent and Sober Administration. 76. The State itself, mindful of its responsibility before God and society. should be a model of prudence and sobriety in the administration of the commonwealth. To-day more than ever the acute world crisis demands that those w ho dispose of immense funds, built up on the sweat and toil of millions, keep constantly and singly in mind the common good. S tate functionaries and all employees are obliged in conscience to perform their duties faithfully and unselfishly, imitating the brilliant example of distinguished men of the past and of our own day, who, with unremitting labour, sacrificed their all fo— r the good of their country. In international trade-relations let all m eans he sedulously employed

fur the removal of those artificial barriers to economic life which are the effects of distrust and hatred.. All must remember that the peoples of the earth form but one family in God. Unrestricted Freedom for the Church. 77. At the same time the State must allow the Church full liberty to fulfil her divine and spiritual mission, and this in itself will be an effectual contribution to the rescue of nations from the dread torment of the present hour. Everywhere to-day there is an anxious appeal to moral and spiritual forces; and rightly so,
of the extreme danger threatening every people to-day, may be more and more convinced of their suprem e 'duty not to hinder the Church in the fulfilment of her mission. This is the more imperative since, while this mission has in view man's happiness in heaven, it cannot but promote his true felicity in time. The Erring Recalled. 80. We cannot conclude this Encyclical Letter without addressing some words to those of Our children who are more 0, less tainted with the Communist We earnestly exhort plague.

for the evil we must combat is at its origin primarily an evil of the spiritual order. From this polluted source the monstrous emanations of the Communist system flow with Satanic logic. Now, the Catholic Church is undoubtedly pre-eminent among the moral and religious forces of today. Therefore the very good of humanity demands that her work be allowed to proceed unhindered. 78. Those who act otherwise, and at the same time fondly pretend to attain their objective with purely political or econarrc means, are in the grip of a dano-erous error. When religion is banished from the school, from education and from public life, when the representatives of Christianity and its sacred rites are held tin to ridicule, are we not really fostering the materialism which is the fertile soil of Communism? Neither force. however \yell organised it he, nor earthly ideals however lofty or noble, can control a movement whose roots lie in the excessive esteem for the goods of this world. 79.

Christ, Our Lord, is their only Saviour: "For there is no other name under heaven given to man, whereby we must be saved." CONCLUSION. Saint Joseph, Model and Patron. 81. To hasten the advent of that "peace of Christ in the kingdom of Christ," so ardently desired by all. We place the vast campaign of the Church against world Communism under the standard of St. Joseph, her mighty Protector. He belongs to the working-class, and he bore the burdens of poverty for himself and the Holy Family, whose tender and vigilant head he was. To him was entrusted the Divine Child when Herod loosed his assassins against Him. In a life of faithful performance of ever --di' duties, he left an example for all those who must gain their bread by the toil of their hands. He won for himself the title of the Just, serving thus as a living model of that Christian justice which should reign in social life. 82. With eyes lifted on high. our Faith sees the new heavens and the new earth described by Our first Predecessor, St. Peter. While the promises of the false prophets of this earth melt away in blood and tears, the great apocalyptic prophecy of the Re deemer shines forth in heavenly splendour: "Behold, I make all things new."

The "Solar-Plexus" Punch. The name of Bob Fitzsimmons is in.evitably connected with the celebrated solar plexus punch that knocked out Jim Corbett at Carson City in 14 rounds on March 17, 1897, and transferred the blue ribborr of the ring to the Australian. The referee at that fight was George Siler, and he has put on record his description of the blow: 'In the 14th. round Corbett landed a left hook on Fitz's jaw. They went into a clinch, Fitzsimmons getting a right to the jaw, They broke and sparred at close range. Fitz. feinted for the head with his left, drew back, shifted his left to his right foot forward, and ripped in a sort of cross between a hook and an uppercut to a point, nearer the pit of the stomach. than the heart. Corbett went down in agony. At 'ten' I twisted his shoulder and said, 'You're done, Jim, you're done,' and the battle of the century was won and lost." There's no allusion to the "solarpexus" punch in that description given by the third man in the ring on that occasion. He shows clearly tha.4 Jim Corbett collapsed as the result ot a heavy blow to the stomach, or what the old bare-knuckles fighters called "the mark." The victor, Ruby Bob Fitzsommons, told of it in these words: "I hit him a good belly punch, and he folded up like a bally concertina." And that's all there is to it —how the term solar plexus came, and remains, is a story for another occasion.

There was a moderate attendance of 11,000 at Subiaco to watch the first "semi" of the season. It was Swan's first essay to take premiership honours of the second round, and the "house" was easily theirs. The winning margin was only 144 points, 13.9 to 11.7, but at no stage did Swans' supporters feel optimistic. The winning of the toss by East Perth was a big advantage, for at that time the wind was appreciable and the ball dry. However East Perth's score of 7.1 to 3.0 was nothing to write home about, for close supporters expected them to do much better. Even thus early a noticeable fault on the part of the Swan Districts representatives was tardy disposal. It was prevalent throughout the team and cost them much. Then they would often not get a kick in at In the second quarter East all. Perth was kept mainly on the defensive, and when Swans drew level there was great cheering in recognition of A single just before the their feat. bell gave East Perth back the lead, and at the long interval the scores were 7.3 to 7.2. Or. these figures one would have expected a cling-dong second half, but though there was plenty of vigonr in the game, there was very little thrill. Rain came and made conditions difficult and Swans still persisted with their bad habit of refusing to kick the ball when occasion demanded. At the last change over, the board showed 10.9 to 7.3, in favour of East Perth. This lead of four goals was not a great one, and the supporters of The Swans were visioning a win. scoring was fairly free, East Perth getting three goals against the wind, contrasted with their two points in the second term, while Swans put on The 4.4, their most prolific quarter. game fizzled out with East Perth comfortable winners by fourteen points. Best Players. Bob Crow, in goals for East Perth, appealed to me as the player of the match. His high marking was brilliant, and his judgment in leaving the goal-mouth was •seldom at fault. He saved on innumerable occasions when Next to scoring seemed inevitable. him I place Mick Cronin, who played match-winning football at the pivot and half-forward, where his long kicking was very effective, and had Swans but followed his good example the result may have been different. Third on the list I place Rowland, who kicked six goals, five of them in the first half. He did grandly early in the piece and without doubt made the f oundations of a win. Swans. Sinclair, of Swans, gets my No. 1 vote. Playing in a key position, centre half-back, he was under notice for excellent work for the full period of play. There was plenty of dash and determination about his work, and few 7 674 1707

mistakes can be debited against him. Next I place Rosewarne, who early in the piece was the best player afield. His roving was superb, but later he fell back a little by dropping into the bad habit of trying to beat too many opponents. George Krepp was the third for distinguished service for the losers. He is a great player and is the outstanding centre-wing in the game, and this he proved on Saturday, although in the last quarter he was hard pressed by Miller. Goal-Getters. For East Perth: Rowland (6), Parry ( 3, Cronin (2), Hall, Mussman: and for Swans: Forden (2), Ditchburn (2), Rosewarne (2), Gorn (2), Sweetapple, Park, Andrews. To-Day's Second "Semi" It should be a great game at Subiaco to-day (Saturday), when the topnotchers, Claremont and East Fremantle, meet in the second semi-final. By the way, Claremont is the only League club that has not been out of "The Four" at any time this season. "The Tigers" have a very fine side, and appear to be very near their hearts' desire of winning a League Pennant. They will have stern opposition from Old Easts, who are never beaten until the final bell. There is a wealth of tradition behind East Fremantle, and we have yet to see its representatives "squib it" in a big game. No one knQws this better than their opponents to be, and so we can confidently e xpect the best game of the season, with the pace and vigor present from initial bounce to final bell. Though they will not under-rate their opponents, Old Easts will enter the fray to-day full of confidence, for on the three occasions that the pair have clashed this season, the Blues have won, and two of the victories were registered at Claremont, while the third win was registered at Fremantle, On that occasion George Doig, whom Fred Batt, Claremont's goal-keeper, will find a problem today, was in great form, kicking ten goals against sturdy opposition. These clubs provided play in the second "semi" of last season, and the Blues were defeated, 11.13 to 9.20. Claremont was admitted to the League in 1926, and until last season always finished in a lowly position on the premiership list, whereas East Fremantle has a record second to none in Australia. This great club was founded in 1898, and that season failed to make "The Four." It was there next season, 1899, and since then has only been excluded once—in 1915—and has won the premiership on seventeen occasions, In the eleven seasons, 1926-1937, Claremont has been last on seven occasions, twice sixth, and once seventh, while last season it finished third. Alt
Rowing It has been decided to hold the King's Cup race of 1938 on the lower Yarra course. of 2i miles. At present the selected date for the race is Saturday, April 23, but there is a likelihood of its being changed to Saturday, May 7. There is an objection to the Lower Yarra course, in as much as the crew drawing No. 1 position has an Undue advantage from the inside from the inside coorses. Our crew is to be coached by Mr. George Orgill, who is an experienced oarsman, who should do well as coach.

Cricket Ron Oxenham. At time of writing Ron Oxenham, Queensland cricketer, who has repre. sented Australia against England, South Africa and West Indies, was in a serious condition as the result of a motor accident. He was never included in an Australian XI. for England, and without any shadow of doubt he should have been, He has been Queensland's outstanding allrounder, and was a veritable George Giffen in many of his feats. in Sheffield Shield cricket he started last season with 154 wickets, the same number as Bill Whitt y, of South lAustralia, and going on he passed those of M. A. Noble 158, Bill Howard 159, Hugh Trumble 159, and finished with 167. When you recall that he did not have the opportunity of playing Sheffield Shield cricket until 1926-27, you will realise how wonderful he has been. With the bat in Sheffield Shield matches he has made 2,314 runs, and only t wo Queenslanders are above him, F, C. Thompson, 2,458, and E. C. Ben. s tead, 2,327. Although he has never equalled the feat of Clarrie Grimmett in taking 16 wickets in a Shield game, he has some great performances. In one match he scored 49 and 117 and captured 5 for 22 and 1 for 41; in another 34 not out and 52, and taking 3 for 29: scoring 57 and 62, and taking 4 for 54 and 3 for 78. Against Victoria on one occasion he scored 104 and 73 and took 4 for 18: Yet such a player could not gain in. elusion in an Australian XI. for Eng. land! He was a very popular member of Frank Tarrant's team that toured India some three seasons back .
The Empire Games The British Empire Games are listed for Sydney, and will be conducted from February 5 to 12, 1938. We of this State are hopeful that we may have representation .in the Athletics and Boxing, because quite a lot of effort has been put into these by our local amateur bodies. The W.A. Amateur Boxing and Wrestling Association has been particularly progressive, and has sent a team under Warrant. Officer Quirk to Brisbane, there to contend for the Australian titles. I am hopeful that one of the team will take a title and eventually represent Australia at the Games. In swimming we are assured of representation, for we have at least two w ho are world class in Miss Dorothy Green and Percy Oliver. It undoubtedly will be the greatest athletic gathering ever held in the Southern Empire and the outstanding feature of Australia's 150th. Anniversary celebrations. Representatives from seventeeh countries will meet in track and fieln athletics, swimming, cycling, boxing, w restling and rowing, and some of the most famous athletes in the world wih c ompete. The N.S.W. Government has financially sponsored the Gaines to the extent of £10,000, and according to its athletic representation each competing country will receive monetary assistance to defray the transport expenses of its team. The holding of the first Empire Games were held in 1911, and they were known as "The Festival of Empire." The Cup that the successful country will receive is a massive silver one, 2ft. _ Oin. high and weighing 340ozs. The second Games were held in C anada in 1930 and Great Britain won, as it did when they were held in London in 1934, The Games are being looked forward to by athletes and supporters of athletics all over the world, and they will be opened with all the pomp of the Olympia Sports.

Storm Centre of Europe EADERS of the English Press did not at first take seriously the news that Portugal had withdrawn her diplomatic representatives from Czechoslovakia. The two countries were small and far apart; they could hardly go to war with one another. Within a day the dispute had been converted by the Press into a childish quarrel over machine-guns, in which many was using Portugal to discredit Czechoslovakia. In fact, the dispute went to the root of the political uncertainties of post-war Europe and was intimately connected with the Spanish war. It must be remembered that Czechoslovakia was literally the creation of the Peace Treaties, not quite the old Bohemia, a Republic enshrining the Protestant memories of John Huss, an elongated fragment of the destroyed AustroHungarian Empire. It is a country always extolled in the press as peaceful, democratic and progressive under the enlightened rule of two patriotic scholars, Masaryk and Benes. Facts About Czechoslovakia. The events of the past two years, however, make it necessary to mention less rosy facts about Czechoslovakia. Its democratic character is associated with something else than the natural orderliness of the people; democratic slogans have a meaning of their own when they emanate from Masonic sources, and the rulers of Czechoslovakia stand high in the Councils of the Grand Orient. Add that the country runs from a central Europe in the form of a bridge or avenue towards the frontiers of Soviet Russia, forming an avenue of invasion either into Russia or into Germany. Add again that Czechoslovakia, after years as a chief opponent of a restored Catholic Austria, formed the European link of the Franco-Soviet Pact contriveil by French Masonic politicians and Communists of much the same kidney. With the revival of Germany, the position of Czechoslovakia became bne of the dangerous question-marks of Europe. Germany, knowing against whom them Franco-Soviet Pact was directed, had no friendship for Czechosloyakia, and a large German minority incorporated in the new country became a bone of contention very soon. Portugal. But what has Portugal to do with this? A great deal. For Portugal stands ?pre-eminently in Europe as the anti-Masonic State. She attributes her recent troubled history of the past thirty years to the intrigues of the Masons—of this there is no doubt. Her Catholic genius, Salazar, has restored his country during the past ten years. following a military rising directed against Masonic politicians, and all forms of the cult are now forbidden, if not suppressed. But Salazar, in the process, has made deadly enemies for himself and for his country. He sees in Spain—and the Spanish Nationalists see—the danger appearing upon Christian traditions in the Iberian peninsula. Franco has acknowledged his debt to Salazar in the construction of the new State. If
Why Portugal Broke With Czechoslovakia
Secret International Groups. Where the dispute broadens out into something really dangerous is that Czechoslovakia represents a whole group of powers and secret international groups concerned to advance Communism in Europe, while Portugal represents the authoritarian States which have determined to destroy Communism. Germany, most dogmatic and least responsible of these countries, stands at Czechoslovakia's doorstep.

Jesus warned them not to waste the precious hours in such outward shows of friendliness: these His Evangelists were not commissioned to take part in worldly f eastings, but rather to recall men in repentance, to heal the sick, to prepare the ways of the Lord; and to publish far and wide the Kingdom* of God. If any city r efused to harbour them, He bade them go into the public squares. and tell the city: rebellious " Against you we shake off even the dust of your town which has c leaved to our feet.

SYNOPSIS. Dr. Charles Sutherland, London, general practitioner, is thrice disturbed by a dream in which a drowning woman calls for his aid. Being neither superstitious nor subject to nervous fancies, he diagnoses the symptoms as brain-fag, and decides on a holiday—to Ireland. En route he encounters Miss Eileen Craig, deeply distressed through her father's death and even more grievously by the arrest of her lover charged with his murder. Miss Craig bears a the startling resemblance to vision that had come to Dr. Sutherland in sleep, and on a sudden impulse he takes up lodging at Mylrea, some few miles from Craig Castle.

in bed propped up by pillows, too weak to talk, and suffering from a hacking cough. On my second visit, however, the day previous to my departure for the fair, he had suddenly gained strength, and was seated in his study surrounded by the emblems of his faith. I had taken the opportunity of examining him throughlv, and I had found, not a little to my alarm, that the cold conse. quent on his exposure had touched his lungs, and that he was in a condition of low fever. I had ordered him to bed at once, and he had promised to obey me. On leaving him I had felt more perplexed than ever: for when I had touched again on the subject of the murder I saw the look of agony distort his face, and he almost commanded me to be silent. But when I spoke of his brother's approaching trial he rose from his seat and solemnly made the sign of the cross. "God help me to keep my • faith!" he said, raising his eyes to heaven. Then, reaching his trembling hand towards me, he implored me, with feverish eagerness, to continue my search for the murderer, and to save his brother's life. I was thinking of all these things when Andy drove rapidly towards Kilsyth. It was a cheerless winter day. The bogs on every side of us looked black and sullen beneath a lowering sky, but, despite the inclemency of the weather. everybody seemed astir; indeed, it seemed to me that the whole of the population of Mylrea was streaming towards the fair. From the earliest hours of the morning I had heard them passing my bedroom window, rending the air with their shouts and cries as they drove their unwilling cattle along the road: and still the stream was flowing on—the girls and old women—some of them in mule carts, others on foot driving before them their donkeys loaded with poultry, butter and eggs, and eager to realise in open market the rent which would soon become due. They looked at us as we drove past, some of the pretty girls giving us a bright' smile and a "Good day. your hon. our," while a few of the men scowled and made nd sign: but for each and all of them Andy had a bright word, gs he laughingly cracked his whip to send the stragglers out of his road. Meantime the dogs. at a word from me, were ranging the open moor. Now and again the setter would find a snipe not far from the road, and wait patiently while I descended to cross over to him and take the shot. I picked up a bird or two in this way, and the greyhound put up t wo hares, one of which-, after a smart chase, he managed to secure. Once a great flock of wild geese passed, fluttering and screaming close over the car, and alighted on the hog close to the roadside.

When, early in the day, \Tye reached Kilsyth, the fair was at its height: The narrow streets were full of mire; during the night much rain had fallen, and the tramping of cattle through the mud had done the rest. We made for the .best inn of whiclthe town boasted, and put up the horse; then. leaving Andy to attend to his own affairs, I strolled off to amuse myself as best I could till it should be time to return .home. After wandering for some time about the narrow streets I reached the quarter which was dignified by the name of the market place. Here I found concentrated all the life of the fair. Cattle were lowing, sheep bleating, pigs squealing, and above the nois-e- of all this the shouts of the farmers and dealers rent the air. Altogether it was a pandemonium let loose; for most of the ragged kerns had taken enough whisky to make them forget for the time being the misery which was their daily companion. I was pushing my way through the motley throng when a hand clasped me on the shoulder, a friendly voice sounded in my ear, and turning I beheld Father John Croly, the parish priest. It was evident that he had come thither on foot, for his trousers were rolled up and his boots w ere clotted with mud. From the somewhat wandering light in his black eyes I judged he had had more than a nodding acquaintance with the whisky bottle, but his rubicund face was beaming with good humour, and he appeared to be very glad to see me. "You've saved my poor boy, doctor." said he, "and I thank ye. Will you come and have a shnifter ?" I accepted his invitation, and we strolled together towards the inn. When we reached it we found the place besieged, the rooms full and flowing over, and a goodly crowd gathering before the door. The moment the priest made his appearance he was welcomed by one and all : even the drunkenest and most ragged of the merrymakers conjured up a smile and a "good day" for his reverence, and for the first time I understood why, though Father John was not averse to applying his stick to the back of a refractory parishioner, he was so popular among his people. He was hail-fellow-well-met with all and sundry, and he placed on an equal footing with himself the most poverty-stricken of his flock. In one of the rooms of the inn sat an agent waiting for his wretched tenants to come and pay their rent. There were many there who could not or would not pay. and had it not been for the mediation of Father John they would have been turned out to starve by the roadside; but the priest spoke kip for them, even while he gave them a little abuse, and with a "God Almighty bless your reverence." they went on their way rejoicing." VVe had had our "shnifter" (the local term for a glass of raw spirits), and were about to leave the inn when there entered the room a person whom the priest w elcomed with a curious smile. He was a coarse-featured, redfaced man, short and thick set; he wore a grey riding coat and b reeches, both of which were lib-

It obviates the necessity of the throne for the BlessedSacrament in ordinary cases of Exposition. Q. What is the antipendium? A . The antipendium is a movable and preferably hanging altarfrontal which is made of some rich fabric, and which extends along the whole front of the altar from the table to the predella. It may be ornamented with vertical stripes and have in the centre a cross or other sacred emblem. Its colour varies with the colour of the Office of the day. If the front of the altar be already highly ornamented the antipendium may be dispensed with.

With 200 working; members, these -priests have attempted to get into labour strife wherever it was thickest. Their activities had been featured on the front pages of the "Pittsburgh Catholic," and recently that official organ printed the Alliance's appeal for funds:— "The (Labour) movement is a It sound and healthy thing. could be made the first step toward an integrated.

The outrage has not been reported to the police, but it is understood that enquiries are being made with a view to discovering the author.

N Sunday, 12th. inst., His Grace the Archbishop of Sydney, Most Rev. M. Kelly, D.D., laid the foundation-stone of a memorial tower given by Countess Freehill, whose generous benefactions to Catholic institutions in Australia are almost without parallel. The tower will include a memorial chapel to Archbishop Sheehan, and an altar to the late- Very Rev. Dr. O'Reilly, a former Rector of the College. Completion of the College was

What they call "the dynamite of Catholic teaching" and submt as an alter. native to Communism, is contained in the encyclicals of Popes Leo XIII. and Pius XI, the most timely point being that both Sovereign Pontiffs agreed that workers have not only the right but the duty to organise in unions. Monsignor O'Toole has announced his resignatiom and his appointment to the Catholic University in Washington, whence he will continue to direct ,the Radical Alliance and, presumably. help finance it as he has done from the start.
