BY REV. DR.
R U MB LEms., The Minority's Duty
Business Man, City:
"Taxation is based on the principle that the State must be regarded as a unity, and that it is the duty of each section to yield obedience to the will of the whole." To that general statement I reply by asking these reverend gentlemen whether they accept State authority as absolutely supreme, or whether only witntrt c ertain defined limits? Again I would ask them whether the compulsory submission of a minority section to majority rule dispenses the majority from due consideration of the rights of minorities. For example, in the Irish Free State, Protestants are in a minority. They have their own Pro testant primary schools. They have to pay, just as Catholics, towards general revenue for primary education in Ireland. But, for every child they educate, they receive back the full (.! juivalent of the taxes they pay. ow would these Protestant clergymen hold that, because Catholics are in the majority in the Irish Free State, they would be justified in confiscating the taxes of Protestants, and refusing any assistance in the education of their children unless they sent those children to schools Catholics happened to approve. Finally, these Protestant leaders tell us that each section in the State owes obedience to the will of the whole. But is the will of these Protestant clergymen the will of the State? If they say that the present existing order is the will of the State, cannot the State, after due consideration, change its it does, or gives will? And If any hint in the f uture that it might want to do so will the protestant leaders apply their own principles and yield quiet and willing obedience to the will of the whole ). Is Justice Violated? "Unless it can be shown that a State imposition is immoral, or has failed to fulfil its purpose, resistance, al or in effect, whether actuought not to be Urged as a ground for special co nsideration." By using o f course, the word "immoral" these reverend gentlemen intend no morality in the reference to Imsense of sexual evils, as most people understand the word "immoral " They intend a justice. violation of the virtue of that the Now we Catholics claim imposition of taxes on all forState a general purpose without c allowing all to benefit who ontribute towards fund is a the general W e claim violation of justice.

It is perfectly clear that the fear of Communism or, at least, an alleged fear of violent Leftism prompted the determination of President Vargas on November 10. It is extremely difficult to say to what extent Communism was actually present in the unrest and disorder that have characterized Brazil For the past three years. However. whether Communism was a real or a hypothetical danger, is not the fundamental issue at all. The question of vast import is whether the government set up as a reaction to this danger represents Fascism or not. When the accusation is launched against the new order as Fascist. the implication is mark that there are no two solutions to a given political conflict except Communism or Fascism. This interpretation of the absolute dualism of has . been political institutions rejected by Brazil. where insistence is made that the w ar against to a mere Communism has led modification of the existing republican institutions, with no attempt to import the Fascist model. The evidences that disprove the Fascist character of the recent movement are not difficult to oumerate. First of all, the prongation of for another the presidential term six r.ectly from the years come diexecutive. President Vargas cut across party lines, disrupted the presidential campaign and personally proclaimed the 0,iNiNe-n regime. continuation of his In " new state of other words. affairs in Brazil S i not the work of a party, of a 1movement or even of an ideoogy, b.ut petuation simply a personal perin power.

the one openly Fascist organization existent in the republic: the Integralists. If the new state were as Fascist as it has been depicted, it would seem reasonable that the well knit and powerful Integralist party under Salgado, would be the instrument of that change and would now occupy a position similar to. the National Socialist organization in Germany and the Fascist party in Italy. Exactly the contrary has taken place. The Integralists have been shorn oi much prestige, and forced to abandon their political activity. Moreover, the basic conditions that produced Fascism in Europe do not exist in Brazil. Without attempting more than a summary, it would seem that there are generally a number of circumstances that are found wherever Fascism has triumphed. There is the growth and development of an ideology, represented in a party organization. The shirted groups in Italy and Germany are examples of this evolution. In both cases, a strong. highly organized and effective party movement preceded the actual taking over of In Europe the Government. this process has been favoured by a deep-routed national tradition. ancient hatreds and collective aspirations, on which Fascism has played with consummate skill. In America this condition is lacking. New nationalities, unexplcited resources and scattered populations do not produce the cohesion necessary for the full flowering of this particular political phenomenon. In Brazil Vargas was not the Duce of any party. In addition, both in Italy and Germany, FasciSm was the product of desperation. The humiliation of the Reich and the crushing burden of the peace gave strength to the Nazi claims. The chaos of postwar Italy was obviously fertile soil for the doctrine of force and authority. The circumstances do not exist in Brazil or in any other Hispanic-American country. Tempor-
tional bases preserved, the actual functioning of government has been sti ikingly different. Even in those countries where Leftist tactics have been developed in Mexico, Ecuador and Chili, this fact does not imply Even Leftism in Communism. the New World has suffered changes and modifications that make it scarcely recognisable in contrast with its European counterpart. Even in Mexico Communism of the orthodox sort is not the rule. South of Mexico are to be found states in the true dictatorship fashion. In Guatemala.

Coughlin Breaks His Silence
Father
. .In the following article in "Social Justice," Father Coughlin, on his return to the microphone, comments on the agitation which his brief withdrawal from broadcasting occasioned. Mr. WALTER BAERTSCHI, the president of the Social Justice Publishing Corporation, has asked me to take over the responsibility of editorial counsel, or a dviser for this weekly newspaper.
This invitation I have accepted, with the approval of my superior. Although I, a Catholic priest, was formerly president of the corporation, and a frequent contributor to the pages of this news journal, nevertheless I appreciate that at least one half its readers are Protestants, who love Pius XI. and his inspired Encyclicals, touching upon the reconstruction of the social order.

Communist Attack on Catholic Action Accused of Pro-Fascist Policies National Secretariat Refutes Charge The following rebuttal of an attack launched by the Communist Party of Victoria has been received from the Australian National Secretariat of Catholic Action, which has its headquarters at 368 Collins-street, Melbourne. The Secretariat was formed as a result of the decision of of Australia and New Zealnd last September, that Hierarchy the to lay the foundations of Catholic Action on a come had time the
national basis. Thus was fulfilled the wish of the Holy Father for a movement to enlist the laity in the apostolic work of
the Church.
T HE Communist Party has not delayed in making its expected attack on the A.N.S.C.A. And, to anyone who still attributes to that body the virtue of originality in its methods, the article pub:: fished in the "Workers Voice, dated January, 1938, must have c aused intense disappointment. No Originality. There was nothing new in the a ttack. The general gist of the article was given in the sub-head, which ran — 'Pro-Fascist Policies.- That is typical of the Communist .approach towards every manifestation of Catholic activity. Before the National Secretariat had actually started on its work, before it had one concrete achievement to its credit or discredit, the implications of which could be judged by friend and foe alike, it was condemned for acting on -pro-Fascist policies." This anxiety to condemn rather than to judge is typical of the attitude of the Communist Party towards Catholic Action. The usual canards concerning Vatican support for the policies of Italy, Germany and Japan were dovetailed together once more. How the Vatican can support the policies of a Fascism whose theories with respect to education and the supremacy of the State over the Church make the maintenance of the Concordat a matter of extreme diplomatic finesse passes the comprehension of anyone save the most extreme Communist fanatic, whose visual concentration on the Red flag has made him colour-blind. How Catholic. Action can be classified as the tool of a Nazism which is ruthlessly destroying every form of Catholic Action in Germany will only be understood mind steep in an inebriatedby a mysticism. And, as for pro-Japanese Policies. at a time when the Japanese invasion of China has left a trail of ruined Catholic missions in its wake, and has directly resulted in the murder of the president of Chinese Catholic Action Lo -Pa-Hong—why the matter becomes laughable. Puzzle of Catholic Action. If the truth be known. Catholic Action is the major puzzle Which faces the Communist Party t hroughout have caused the .world. It must less nights. Dimitrov many sleepA nd the reason is this. Since .)e the United Front became the classical yolicy of orthodox Com,inunism towards the masses. the mmunist policy towards the Catholic causing a Church has aimed at split between the Hier-
archy and clergy on the one side, and the Catholic masses on the other. Prior to the Seventh World Congress of the Comintern, this policy did not exist. The Communist Party `based its action directly on the idea of Marx that Catholicism was only a survival of mediaeval feudalism—a survival whose days were drawing rapidly to a close. If this analysis were correct, there was no necessity to employ tactics of any nature in the fight against Catholicism. Religion would soon be dead. anyway. So every Communist publication, prior to Dimitrov's enunciation of the doctrine of the United Front. is filled with wholesale and scurrilous attacks. including cartoons and blasphemous pictures on the entire Catholic body, in which Hierarchy, clergy, middle class and workers are included. lock, stock. and barrel Mancian Analysis Falls. Dimitrov and his apostles were clever enough to see that once more the Marxian analysis failed: that the Church. which in the -Syllabus of Errors.- had denounced the abuses of industrial capitalism before the publication
of the Communist manifesto, was not dying, but rallying more and more of the masses to its banner. The growing might of the J.O.C. in France and Belgium; the power of the International of Christian Trade Unions , representing no less than 30,000,000 European Catholic Workers; the rallying of millions of men, non-Catholic as well as Catholic behind Fr. Coughlin in America; the newfound determination of Australian Catholic unionists to fight the Communist aggression against the industrial movement — all these things proved conclusively that the postulate of the decay of Catholicism . among the masses was untrue. The Church simply refused to lie down and die. With typical Communist determination, and with the semi-realist politics which are the mark of the Communist Party in internal affairs, the new "split-ring" tactic was introduced. It is this tactic which at present is the motive force of Australian Communism. It is to be noted that it is not the tactic which is being pursued by the French Communist Party. The more intense development and the more positive and revolutionary policies of the movement of the Catholic masses in France. have led Marcel Thorez and the French Communists to adopt an even more advanced policy towards Catholicism in an attempt to ensnare Catholic workers — a policy which requires further discussion. "Splitting: Tactics. However, where Australia is concerned, the policy of the Communist Party in relation to Catholic workers is that of the pamphlet. "An Appeal to Catholics." from the pen of Sharkey. editor of the "Workers' Weekly." The Hierarchy and clergy are in corrupt alliance with Fascism throughout the world. Catholic Action. through its connection with the Hierarchy, is the instrument of Fascist policies. The article in the "Workers' Voice."
It was in 1900. twenty years before the first Fascist movement was or. that Pius X. made his first pronouncement on Catholic Action.
with its attack on the Secretariat, fits in perfectly with the offici4l line of the Communist Party of Australia. If this analysis is true, how, then, can the Communists explain, for instance, the continued attacks which the German Hierarchy has launched against Nazism, and the condemnation by the Chinese Hierarchy of the Japanese invasion as a policy of barbarous aggression? The answer is quickly found, and it appears weekly in the "International Press Correspondence," the unifying publication which acts as a source of information for all Communist papers throughout the world. "The Catholic masses," so runs the official Communist theory, are becoming increasingly hostile to the allegedly pro-Fascist policies of the Hierarchy. The Hierarchy, sensing this feeling is being forced to make concessions, to it. in the way of anti-Nazi pronouncements on the part of the German Bishops. and anti-Japanese pronouncements on the part of their Chinese colleagues." It is an ingenious theory, spoilt only by its complete dependence on the postulate of a secret alliance between the clergy and Fascism, which it is to the interests of both parties to conceal. The postulate breaks down when Nazi authorities in Germany imprison. maltreat and even kill Catholic priests and destroy Catholic organisations. Very few people would be willing to believe that camouflage is being carried on to that extent. One might as well suggest that Our Lord conspired with Pilate to bring about His own death so as to make Christianity popular among the Jews. French Communism Goes One Further. A s has been remarked previously. the French Communist Party has more or less abandoned this "splitting- tactic in favour of the tactic of the "open hand.- Finding that the former methods were making no headway at all with the Catholic workers of France. that the Catholic trade unions continued to grow apace. that in address after address members of the French Hierarchy and clergy, led notably by Cardinal Verdier. Cardinal Lienart. and Mgr. (now Cardinal) Gerlier. appealed continuously for social justice. Thorez. the Communist leader, carried the old tactics one step further. -If you are out for social justice." declared Thorez in effect to the Hierarchy. "if you are opponents to totalitarian Fascism, join in a United Front with the Communist Party. and together we will fight 'for the one. and against the other.•' "Open Hand" v. "Clenched Fist" This was the programme of the -open hand.- Against its fruition stood the impassable statement of Lenin: - Marxism is Material ism.- and the statement of Marx. "Religion is the opium of the people." Even this did not seem too great a barrier to the diplomacy of Thorez. He requested r epresentatives of all the Catholic papers of France to meet him in a conference in which he undertook to prove that collaboration between Catholicism and Communism was possible. With attempted ingenuity he gave a completely new interest to the Communist doctrine of dialectical materialism. We were supposed to believe that dialectical materialism does not mean what it has generally

How can the Communist Party explain the development of Catholic Social Action in France in the 1870's, under the guidance of Albert De Mun and De La Tour Du Pin? If Catholic Action is no more than the ecclesiastical foundation of Fascism, how can the Corn_ munist Party explain the fact that it was in 1900, twenty years before the first Fascist movement was organised, that Pius X. made his first pronouncement on Catholic Action. The organisation of Catholic Action in America—the National Catholic Welfare Conference — was founded in September, 1919. A t this time there was no Fascist movement in existence in any part of the world, and Mussolini himself was a bitter opponent of the Church and far more of a Communist than a Fascist. Italian Fascism did not come to power until 1922. German Nazism did not come to power until 1 933, and among its first actions was the smashing of those organisations which were part of Catholk Action strictly so called. In France. on the testimony of the Director of the International Labour Office, the Catholic trade unions in particular. and the Catholic Action organisation in general. are among the most powerful advocates of working-class solidarity and progress.

HE increasing approval of State charity in A ustralia is alarming. At first regarded as a alternative to last w orse evils, it is now looked upon as an essential activity of the State and a stable institution of society. Politicians, party leaders and newspapers vie with each other in putting up new schemes for extending the r ange of State charity to the citiThe idea seems to be zens. State has inexhaustible the that draw upon and that to ealth w nothing but good can result from an extension of State aid. Not only in Australia has this e vil developed, but also in Great Britain, and in his recent Pastoral Letter for Advent, we find Cardinal Hinsley committed to a statement of principle that is as applicable to Australia as Britain. His Eminence says: "No State can claim to be c onstructed rationally or morally when one section of the community has to be heavily taxed to provide another, at the cost of its natural dignity and independence. xvith a sort of parasitic existence and a measure of bodily and mental welfare."
State Charity
In Australia so much of Federal and State revenue is raised by indirect taxation, by taxation that can be passed on to the masses that it is reasonable to say that most of the cost of government social services results in a slashing of real wages and of working class living standards. The manufacturer, the merchant, the distributor. include taxes as part of their costs and pass them on to the consumers, the rural and urban wage earners. Taxation is a terrible levy upon the w age earners and forces large numbers of them to go without the necessities of life. At an enquiry last year in Sydney, into the price of milk, the chairman accepted as evidence a statement that "15 to 20 per cent. of people in industrial suburbs in Sydney took a half-pint of milk a day for the whole family, and that the majority took only a Pint." Commenting on this evidence, Dr. Stephens, Senior Physician at the Children's Hospital, said: "I believe that the quantity is totally inadequate and would tend to build a "C" class population." Not only are the wage-earners sacrificed to enable the politicians and bureaucrats to gain prestige through a lavish distribution of State charity, but this charity is itself a vital factor in b eading off any movement towards social justice. The fact is Only too obvious that many unemployed men cease to interest themselves in the cause of unemployment once the dole or sustenance is sufficiently high to k eep them in food, tobacco and clothes. We have to be blind not to know that in Australia there is nothing like the dole and sustenance for taking the fighting spirit out of men.

Without calling it a religion, a c onsiderable portion of the rising generation is being saturated with a philosophy of life that makes material well-being and comfort the aim and objective of life.

Catholicism in England Today
I
T is impossible to consider the position of the Catholic Church (or anything else, for that matter) in a given country at a given relating time without or consciously impressions, y our given another to nconsciously, u time; you must have a standard of comparison. In this article, therefore, I am taking as my conscious standard of comparison England as it was twenty y ears ago; it was then that I myself made my submission to the Church, and began (every c onvert will applaud that word "began") to take an intelligent interest in what it was and what it was doing. W hat was the political position of Catholics in Englatia twenty The Church, in years ago? those days got a good press in the newspapers of the left, and a bad press in the newspapers of the right. Pick up the "News Chronicle," then the "Daily News," and you could be sure of finding the claims of the Church, and the interests of the Church. sympathetically dealt with in that traditional organ of Nonconformity. Pick up the "Morning Post," and you would find the Pope and all his works subjected to a daily anathema. It is interesting to s e how all that lia changed in twenty years. At home, the creation of the Irish Free State has solved a multitude of problems for us. Meanwhile, questions of f oreign policy have driven a deep wedge between the great bulk of Catholic opinion in England and the politics of the left. At the time when I was converted, you expected to have a row if you met a Conservative at dinner; now, you expect to have a row if you meet a Labour man. And it hardly needs to be pointed out that the great mass of the Catholic population in England is, even now, a working-claGs population. There is a real conflict of loyalties, and our ranks are losing by it. Twenty years ago, a young Catholic with a thirst for ideals found an outlet f or his enthusiasms in Irish nationalism. To-day, he is tempted to enrol himself anicnc, clic Communists. The end of the Spanish war, if it c',Ines might make a difference; but at present the outlook here is depressing. T he Intellectual

The Position Analysed
Dangers. Our civilisation, our culture, are in great part those of our neighbours; we gossip with the people who live in the same street. And what makes the situation worse is that in the North our industries have shrunk in importance, and there is a general tendency for labour to move further South, where it is more wanted. Mixed marriages, too, have done a great deal to weaken the security of the Catholic home. There is reason to fear that, in some measure at least, we shall be carried away by our surroundings and grow more worldly than we were. Already we are beginning to breed a race of halfCatholics—people who rank as Catholics for purposes of registration, but are often very ill instructed, through being sent to Protestant schools, and sometimes have grown up to eighteen or nineteen without making their first confessions and first Communions.
Mgr. Ronald Knox, one of the best known priests and ablest writers in England at the present time, has recently c elebrated the twentieth anniversary of his conversion to the Catholic Faith. The occasion has led him to review the intervening years. In the present article, which he wrote for "The Ransomer," he looks at the position of the Catholic Church now in comparison with what it was when he first became a Catholic, and he states his views very frankly. day, the burden of defending, not were; nearly all of them return merely Catholicism but Christian- an annual deficit. ity itself, in the world of letters Meanwhile, a quite new factor is being more and more left to has come into the situation.

To-day, if anybody question arises whether it is described the war of ideas in con- necessary to look forward any temporary England as a war be- longer to the conversion of Engtween a Catholic and a Commun- land; whether Catholics cannot ist culture, I don't think he be content to populate England would be set down as a mere by keeping up a normal birthfanatic. And yet we Catholics rate, while the non-Catholics die number only some two and a half out. In a hundred years' time, million in England, and the the experts tell us, the population Communists, I fancy, much less. You would expect that we would be getting some thanks What have we to set against for this from that large part of that? The most hopeful feature the population which dislikes in the situation is the growth, the extremist fads of the modern during these twenty years ,of our world as much as we do. The resources—of our facilities, I curious thing is that we don't.

CLONTARF II.
Health, Happiness and Achievement at A Resourceful Community Clontarf (By H. P.)
Clontarf Orphanage, with its s cores of healthy, happy youngsters, its clean and wholesome buildings, its broad cultivated acres, its delightful natural surroundings, and its general atmosphere of undisciplined freedom and practicality bring a multitude of thoughts crowding to the visitor's mind. Reflectively your mind is carried back to the time—it is not so very long ago—when a harsh and unyielding tyranny bred unspeakable cruelties for children, permitted and encouraged their exploitation in countless ways. Old Order Changeth. But these inhumanities have to be suffered no longer. A chance in Life awaits the lowliest born. The Christian Brothers, through the medium of such institutions as Clontarf, are able to intercede and by their devoted service salvage innocent souls from the wreckage of someone else's wilful or unavoidable creation. Clontarf breathes inspiration into the souls of its inmates as well as supplying the foundation It has of a dutiful citizenship. done this for not less than 5.000 boys since its inauguration in And its devoted workers 1901. have been repaid many- times over by the knowledge that it has moulded them into men who proved equal to the highest demands of citizenship.

Clontarf paved the way for many who have found lucrative professional appointments; other have established themselves a satisfying livelihood in secondary and primary industries. Bond of Loyalty. To-day, within the boundaries of Clontarf. are 150 alert and resourceful youngsters bent on enhancing the institution's splendid record. One glance at any one of them suffices to impress the visitor with their thorough contentment with their lot. Between each and every one of them and Clontarf itself is a bond of loyalty and between boys and staff there is a brotherhood which kindness and mutual admiration have forged into an insoluble link. Not content with past achievements, Clontarf has set its hand to more ambitious undertakings. It has tackled these with a courage and resource that, without visual evidence of the results, would be unbelievable. Well on the way to completion are the new school-rooms and vocational craft rooms, which represent the most important expansion of the facilities and appointments of Clontarf in its history.

is amazing. The buildings are a monument to their adaptability and indefatigable enthusiasm and energy. There is vefy little of the work for which they will not be able to take the whole credit. The wonder of it all is emphasised when one remembers that a great deal of the material that has gone towards construction of the buildings is secondhand and, in many instances, not designed for the purposes to which it has been applied. Brother Keaney and his staff have had to cudgel their brains to make the accomplishment of the building programme possible A subsequent article will convey to readers an idea of the concentrated ingenuity that had to go hand in hand with the rigid economy that limited resources made formidable Many necessary. obstacles have had to be tackled, but the work moves on to triumphant fulfilment.

Where cash donations are not made direct through the media available, gifts of suitable material will be no less acceptable. Tools of trade may be mentioned as an example. The public attention is also di rected to the call for practical support sounded by the Clontarf Orphanage Appeal Committee, which aims at selling at least 50,000 bricks at ls. each to defray expenditure involved in the provision of the new buildings and appointments.

PERTH, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1938.
Congress at Newcastle
first Missionary Congress in Australia was splendidly inTHEaugurated on Wednesday in Newcastle, New South Wales. It
is an event of first-rate importance in the history of the Church in Australia, that this land, itself of missionary status, should organise such a Congress. Further it is indicative that Australian Catholics are becoming conscious not only of their obligations to the missions in general but to their domestic missions (so to speak) in particular. In recent years we have been faced with the anomaly of a growing interest . in - foreign" missions among our own people, while our own missions have been almost exclusively conducted, in our continent but without our support, by - foreign" missionaries. After all, there is an -order of charity" which means that charity begins at home. The former Apostolic Delegate and his present Excellency, Dr. Panico, have contributed in no small share in awakening Catholic consciousness to its duties towards the aborigines, by their personal interest and exhortation. The Newcastle Congress has, however, been organised chiefly as a spiritual manifesto against the growing forces of Communism. To some this might not seem an appropriate aim for a Missionary Congress. But actually it is singularly Apposite. For Communism has really attempted to rival the Catholicity of the Church by a new universalism—the universalism of materialism, with its concomitant features of class war, hatred and violence. Against all this the missionary endeavour of the Church stands out in stark and violent contrast. Her aim in purely spiritual—the carrying of the Gospel to the utmost ends of the earth. Social effects of the most excellent kinds flow inevitably from the Gospel teaching but always these are indirect and secondary, sometimes seemingly accidental. Against violence and class hatred the Church sets forth the illuminating and abiding principles of the justice and charity of Christ. And nowhere has this spirit, which is fundamental to all well-ordered society, been so admirably and heroically displayed as in the Catholic mission fields. The missionary life of the Catholic Church is the most complete and final answer to the Communist philosophy of life. It proves that the Christian life can be lived in the most adverse social environment, though it in no way seeks to perpetuate it. No one can forget, for instance. the Reductions of Paraguay. It further proves how culture and civilisation arise and flourish from purely spiritual not material and economic. forces. It has been alleged that the missioner has followed the soldier and the trader. Nothing can be more false. In almost every instance it is the soldier and the trader who has come later to destroy the work of the missionary. It is infinitely more true of Communism that it comes with industrialism and war. The Communist agitator gives the people only catch-words and promises and lives in the metropolis. The Catholic missionary gives them spiritual certainties, eternal hope. material assistance and he lives and dies with his people as one of them. There is a clash between two world forces, but the issue is certain because one of these forces is not of this world and will not pass with it. c#4,41,141NOWVINIPM.,~00.04.P".

There was a good attendance at Holy Communion at 7 o'clock Mass and again at evening devotions, which were conducted by the Spiritual Director, Rev. Father Kennedy. After devotions an adjournment was made to the Hall, to listen to a very informative lecture by Dr. Daly Smith on the Spanish War, The speaker traced the story of the conflict from its inception to the present moment, and suggested possible future movements of the parties An interesting map to the conflictillustrated the lecture and gave the audience a better comprehension of the strategic points so often mentioned in At the conclusion of the the press. the thanked lecture, Mr. Boylen speaker on behalf of members for his instructive and illuminating address, and hoped Dr. Smith would in his next lecture deal with the subject of the Servile State. about which he is so well informed. Rev. Father Kennedy seconded the vote of thanks, complimented Dr. Smith on his lecture, and suggested that at a future opportunity he might- devote two lectures to such a comprehensive subject as the Servile State. A well known Kalgoorlie parishioner in the person of Mr. Samuel Fisher. passed to his eternal reward in St John of God's Hospital on Friday, February 4. Mr. Fisher met with an accicient at his work the previous week, and though little was thought of it at Requiem Mass first, it proved fatal. for the repose of his soul was celebrat ed in St. Mary's on Saturday, February 5. The funeral was largely attended by the friends of deceased and by members of the Municipal and Roads Rev. Father Board Workers' Union. Kennedy officiated at the graveside.

MARTYR'S STATUE MAY REPLACE BLOWN-UP ONE OF MONARCH. Dublin Memorial to Dr. O'Hurley Suggestd. A suggestion has been made by some Dublin Catholics that a statue of the martyred Archbishop of Cashel should be erected in St. Stephen's Green--on the pedestal from which the King George IV. monument was blown some time ago. It is held that it is time the capital of a Catholic country honoured the memory of Dr. Dermot O'Hurley, who was executed for his Faith near the site of the proposed monument in June, 1584. Other Irish monuments of religious interest being planned or executed include: a statue of' Christ the King at Dun Laoghaire ; a statue of Blessed Oliver Plunket, to be erected as soon as possible after his hoped-for canonisation; and a statue of Dublin's holy working-man, Matt Talbot. A huge monument to St. Patrick is being erected in Northern Ireland.

Beaconsfield in Preparations seem to be well hand for the gymkana in Richmond Park on March 9. I really do not know much about it. I tried to gain admittance to the meetings but was politely but firmly refused. In vain I argued that I was entitled to admission to represent the press. My reasoning fell on deaf ears. I regard the refusal of the committee a personal as well as a professional insult. The chairman of the committee is Mr. W. Farrell, and the secretary is Mr. Kevin Kelly.. Other members are Messrs.

The tremendous power wielded by the money monopolists of the world ,is often sufficient to deter men in public positions from taking any active steps to remove the present in •itoti "debt system" of r ,lance, order that it may be te.placed by a system of financial justice more in keeping with the spirit Christianity. Instead of tackling the real problem--the financial system such men often attack Iron every other angle ;which is tan. tamount to arguing which is the right ointment to smear on certain skin eruptions, although it mav be quite evident that ointments are useless, that the vital necessity is a good tonic to purify the bloodstream.

God has been marvellously lavish to her and she has grown up thinking she herself is responsible for all that is bewitching about her. Man has used his brain, his talent, and his affection in putting upon her natural loveliness the polish that enhances and does not detract from its value. and she flaunts her God-endowed hatbour and man-built bridge and commands everyone who sees them to pay homage to her as their mistress and queen. Yet who could visit Sydr..,y and not love what Louise Mack describes as— "All the curving little bays, The hot, dust-ridden, narrow streets, The ianguid torquoise of the sky, The gardens flowing to the wave. . . .

So far the most remarkable part about this 1938 Specialty seems to be that everyone seems to be waiting for the other fellow to make a start, and that is altogether out of gear, for everyone should start off simultaneousv. Therefore, now that I have said "Ready, Go," do your mean to tell me. my Cornerites, that you don't intend to go at all? If so, I will leave orders for a shroud to be made of all the raffle books I've ordered (and they cost me £4 2s 2d, too). and I'll be f ilmied in them along with my amp pointed hopes. This raffle which is the best bargain You have ever got for a mere 3d. is NOW ON. The winner will have power to go into Harris Searle and Sandovers and pick out a magnificent "Rainbow" bicycle according to the dictates of heart and common sense. So come along now and make sure you get your ticket. Tickets in hooks of 20 tickets to the book, or singles. may be obtained from Pellegrini's Ltd.. "Record" Office. Dr A .B., and the raffle will be drawn at the Church Offices. Victoria Square on Our Lady's Birthday.
THE CARDBOARD BRIGADEThis noble Brigade, now in the 7th. year of its existence, is still in working order, but, alas,' owing to too many holidays and too much plum purHinz at Xmas time, it cannot be said that the Brigade is going as strong as little Johnny Walker, so all those who have been remarkable for distinguished service during the last seven years are reminded that it is now time for diem to walk back to headquarters in order to set out on the hike after the Good looks are not essential, neither reed intending volunteers go to the dentist and have all their teeth out, nor to the doctor for a certificate ct health.

He snatched his 19 year old daughter Pat from her private secretaryship to take her as his own secretary. They were mostly on the beaten tracks oi world travel among ordinary everyday people. That is the peculiar claim of the book. It is a frank and intimately friendly record of a world of real people going about their business in liners and in trains; and the author presents an animated newsreel of life in the Mediterranean, in Egypt, India, Ceylon, Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands. America and on the Atlantic. (LT) RECENT ADDITIONS. "Round the World With Tom Clarke" by Tom Clarke. "A Murder In Sydney" by Leonard Mann.

Canonisation of the Blessed Salvatore (La Horta, a Spanish born Francisan lay brother, and Blessed Andrew Bobola, Polish Jesuit martyr, is expected about Easter time. At the reading of the decree Tuto in the cause of Blessed Salvatore, the Holy Father expressed the hope that the canonisation might inspire a special c onfidence in the spanish nation and that it would come happily through its present great trials. Italy, too, he said, might draw particular benefits from the canonisation of Blesscl Salvatore ,ince in the last years of his life and after his death he has singularly favoured her with the examples of his virtues and with many miracles. The decree of the S. Congregation of Rites closed with his invocation: "May God grant that the new glory which through this worthy son may shortly, as it appears, be redundant for the Spanish people, be propitious for his noble land lacerated and bathed in much innocent blood. May it finally reach true peace and preserve intact the precious treasure of Catholic Faith."

A. LITURGICAL CATECHISM
Q. What is the purificator. A. The purificator is a piece of pure white linen, from twelve to eighteen inches long and nine or ten inches wide. . It is used for cleansing the chalice and wiping the lips and fingers of the Communion priest after the of the Mass. 0. How is it folded? A. The purificator is folded in three layers, so that when placed on the chalice beneath the paten its width is about three inches. Q. May a lay person touch the purificator? A. Once the purificator has been used in the Holy Sacrifice it may be touched only by the clerics or authorised persons. Q. Does the same rule hold for the corporal and pall? A. The corporal and pall. once they have been used in the Holy Sacrifice, should not be touched by a lay person—that right being reserved to clerics and other authorized persons. Q. What procedure is- observed before the corporal, pall and purificator may be sent to the laundry? A. A first washing must be given them by a cleric .in Major Orders and, as the Pontifical states, this is one of the d ies proper to a sub-deacon; moreover. the water used in the first w ashing must be thrown into the s acrarium, or, failing that, into the fire.

FINDING OF DOCUMENT MAY HASTEN C ANONISATION OF ROYAL BEATA. Blessed Agnes of Bohemia, Daughter of King Przemysl. The discovery of an imporant document may give a new stimulus to the canonisation cause of Blessed Agnes of Bohemia, who died on March 2, 1282, and was beatified by Pope Pius IX in 1874. Blessed Agnes was the daughter of the Czech King Przemysl, a follower of St. Francis of Assisi in holy poverty, founder and first Abbess of the Convent of Sisters of St. Clara. During the many wars and destructions of Prague, Blessed Agne's grave was lost. In the library of the Prague University a document has been found in the covers of an old volume. It mentions that Blessed Agnes was buried behind the altar of the "Minorites" Church of St. James. The document was discovered accidentally by Prof. Varecka. For hundreds of years Catholic women have offered prayers that Blessed Agne's body may be found, for such a discovery will expedite the canonisation. Cardinal Kaspar. Archbishop of Prague, after being notified of the discovery, promised to name a commission to investigate the matter according to ecclesiastical prescriptions and begin further investigations in St. James's Church. ARCHDUKE FERDINAND'S DAUGHTER OPENS NUN'S CONVENT IN BOHEMIA. A convent of the new order ot the Sisters of the Holy Eucharist has been opened at Grosspriesen by the Countess Anna Chotek. daughter of Archduke Ferdinand. whose assassination the at Sarajevo precipitated World War. The 30 sisters are all members of the aristocracy, and their convent will be the centre of charities in Northern Bohemia. The nun's regular habit is lip-ht blue, but on Sundays and holidays they wear white.
