"No, Air. Ambassador, it is not for your faults that you Spanish Christians are so bitterly hated. You are hated rather for your virtues, especiallyyour love for the Redeemer of mankind," said Dr. W. T. Walsh, worldknown author and historian, in a notable addressin New York.

The 1944 Literary Award of the Gal• levy of Living Catholic Authors was presented to Dr. William Thomas Walsh at it reception in his honour at \lanhattanville College of the Sacred Heart here on Saturday, October 28. The presentation was made by the Rev. Francis X. Talbot, S.J., retiring president of the Board of Governors.

At the same time, Juan Francisco de Cardenas,Spanish Ambassador to •the United States, formally presented to Dr. Walsh the Cross of Commander of the order of Alfonso X, known as the Alfonso El Sabio Award, the high• est culturaland scientific honour granted by the Spanish Government.

Dr. Walsh, professor of English at Manhattanville, is also- author of "Isabella of Spain;' "Characters of the Inquisition;" and "Philip II;' as well as anovel, "Out of the Whirl. wind," and several plays.

In accepting the Spanish Govern• merit'saward,Dr. Walsh said that the honour, obviously not political but literary, coming as it did after the pub• lication of his work on St. Teresa, indicated "the great love of your warmhearted'people for her."

He spoke of the admonitions of "cer. twin friends;" who reminded him that Spain is"very much hated;" and that any gesture of friendship toward that nation wasbound to be unpopular.Addressing the,Ambassador, he said:

"We hear agreat deal nowadays about the importance of our twinning the friendship of our neighbour republics of Ibero-America;" Dr. Walsh continued. "Thus far, Iam afraid, our progress has not been conspicuous ;

the Jews Clearly Understood Christ's Claim to Be God

-If He Were Less His Doctrines Would Be Open to Doubt'

Do the Scriptures Denythe Immortalityofthe Soul?

"Vah, Thou that destroyest the temple of God and in three days doss rebuild it; save thy own self: if thou be the Son of God,come down from the cross." (Matt. 27, 40.)

These words were hurled at Jesus Christ as He hung dying on the Cross of His Crucifixion:they were part of the closing scene of His long tussle with the Jews,both leaders and peo• ple. They had seen His works and heard His teaching;many of them had become His disciples; of these some had followed Him to the end, others had turned away and "walked no morewith Him." (John 5,87.) Most of the Jews,including nearly all their leaders,had been hostile to Him all along;they had questioned Him, hecided Him,relruked Him; some• times they had paid testimony to His wisdom with unwilling lips; in the emd they bad brought Him to His death. But one thing is clear: thay understood His claims;they realised that Jesus claimed to be the promised Messias. With their Old Testament background it was impossible for them not to understand. It is beside this point that their conception of the role of the Messias differed widely from His exposition of that role;their con• ception.was formed against a background strongly tinged with nationalism. The point is that they understood Christ when He applied to Himself the Messianic titles and the prophecies made about the promised Ater Sias. They understood,also, that Jesus claimed to be God, to be equal to Jahveh, the God of their Fathers, the one True God. When Pilate,at the trial of Jesus, said that he found in Him no cause of condemnation,they answer-

ed: "We have alaw: and according to that"law He ought to die,because He made Himself the Son of God."(John 19, 7.)

The people of His own time, then, understood the claimsof Jesus. They knew that He claimed to be the Mes• sias and TrueGod.

Can Christ'sclaim be justified? If it can His doctrine is of Divine origin, is Divine Revelation. It would have been adifferent thing if He had not claimed to beGod. Had Hedefinite• ly restricted His claim," says a pre. sent-day Catholic author,"to an authority less than absolute,we might have reverenced Him as avoice sent from God,yet suspected that,through human weakness,some of His promises were exaggerated. If He took rank as aMan,asthegreatest of theworld's mystics, His revelations would have beenopen tothesamedoubt as the re• velations of the mystics themselves."

(R. A. Knox,"The Belief of Catho• lics:) But He did not restrict His claim;He claimed absolute authorSty.

Now, if this claim cannot be justified, Jesus was either an impostor or the victim of an hallucination. In either case what purpose does it serve to extol Him-in the manner of some people-as aprophetor agreat teacher?

If His claim can be justified He has aperemptoryclaimon the complete allegiance of all mankind. There is no use saying that religious belief and religious practice are private matters, matters of choice for the individual. There is no use dilating on the alleged failure of Christianity demanding a more comprehensive Christian doc• trine, speaking scathingly-as so many

do, including alocal newspaper col• umnist recently-of what is called"organised religion." Do the men who speak and write in this sway face up themselves to the first essential ques• Lion? Is Jesus Christ God? Let a man become convinced that Jesus Christ is God and that man is no longer free to accept or reject--or modify-the teaching of Jesus.

The problem rests. Jesus claimed to be God. IfHeis, Christianitymust be true. But can His claim be justified? That question we must leave until another day.

"W. It.;" Qwalia:

Q.: Ihave been alistener to your sew don for some time,and would like you to prove by Scripture the following: That oak has asoul separate from thebody.Gm 2,7, reads: "Andthe Lord Clod formed snan of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became aliving soul."

A.: Icould not prove,nor would I attempt to prove,from Scripture, or anywhere else, that man has a soul separate from the body. In man body and soul are not separate. It is the teaching of the Church that together they form one complete,living, intellectual being,which we call man. And if anyone wanted scriptural proof ofthisteaching,Iwould bring forward, among others,the very passage you quote from Gen. 2, 7. That the body and soul of man are separable and that when they separ• ate the body decomposes and is said to be dead,while the soul lives on immortal, are other questions entirely, some of which you touchon now.

Q.: Is it true that the soul lives on in either Sell, Heaven or Purgatory (except the 144,000 of Rev. 7, 4), when the following Scriptures deny it: Pa. 22,29; Esk.18, 4; John O, 28; Ecclesiastes 9, b, and 9, 10; Pa. 110, 17; Is. 53. 127

A.: Why do you make an exception of the 144,000 mentioned in Rev. 7, 4? Not one of the passages you quote makes that exception,so why then do you make it? You make the exception because in Rev. 7, 4, it is stated plainly that 144,000 at least live on after death. In other words, your interpretation df the passages you quote is modified by another,aplain statement of Sacred Scripture.

TELEPHONE: B3S11.

now joined

Now, in the Bible there are many very plain statements that the soul lives on after man's death;i.e., after the death of the body.

Take,for example.Wisd. 3,1, which says,"But the souls of the just are in the hands of God; -

and the torment of death shall not touch them". And Ecclesiastes 12, 7, "And the dust re(prn into its earth,fromwhenceit was and the spiritreturn toGod who gave it." Matt. 10, 28, says, "And be not dfraid of them which kill thebody, but arenotable to kill the soul; but rather fear ye him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

Saint Paul also has something to say. In Romans 2, 6.7, he speaks of God. "who will renderito every man aemrding to his works; to them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory

and honour and incorruption,eternal life." In Hebr.9, 27, be say&: it is appointed unto man once to die,and after death cometh judgment."

In yourletter,you quoted Rev. 7, 4, makingaflexceptionof the 144,00(1whe were sealed of every tribe of Israel. But why did you notread on to Rev. 7, 9.10,immediately following, and make an exception also df the great multitude mentioned there,'lwhich no man could number,out of every nation,and of all tribes and peoples and tongues? This is aflagrant example of quoting Scripture out of its con. text.

Iam afraid it would weary listeners ifIwent through acomplete list of all the Scripture passages that state plainly that the soul lives on after separa• tion from the body in death. Some speak clearly of heaven and hell, and one or two,with a little reasoning, speak clearly enough df purgatory.The more obscurely worded quotations you have made from the Bible then, must be

understood in the lig•t of these clearer passages. And if you take each one of your quotations andexamine it you will find:

(a) Not one of your texts refer,•

to the death of the soul in the sense of its ceasing to exist.

(b) Either they refer to the loss by mortal sin df the soul's right to the supernatural life of heaven or they simply refer to the death of the body: in other words the separation of *out and body. f I

(c) One passage you quote,namely, John 5, 28, seems to affirm the existence of life after death rather than deny it. It reads, "Marvel not at this, for the hour is coming in which all that are in the graveshall hear his voice." How or why those words deny ,

life after death is beyond my limited understanding.

Q.: How can it be proved that God had made provision for afterdsath when at Gen.2, 17, is stated: "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat ofit, for In

the day that thou satest thereof thou abaft surely die."

A,: This quotation from Gen. 2, 17, neither affirms nor denies life after death. It merely states that death as we know it is apenalty that will be inflicted on one who eats of the treeof the knowledge of good and evil. From the texts of Scripture given in answet to the previous question,Ithink it must be clear that God had made provision for after-death.

Q.: What would have happened had they not eaten of the tree of knowledge?

A.: Evidently,from Gen.2, 17, they would not have experienced death as . we know it.

Q.: If the soul lives on, why aMarreetionofthedead?

A.: On the day of general judgment, Scripture says,"the Son of Man shall -nme, in the glory of his Father with His angels:and then shall he render unto every man according to his deeds."(Matt.18. 27.) If that is to be done justly,then the bodiesof men must be reunited with their souls._For those bodies once were so united with their souls that they formed one complete person -who practised virtue or who sinned,and therefore the body

also is deserving of rerward or punishment together with the soul.

Youask: Whatwouldtherebe toresurrect? There would be the body to resurrect.

Q. -

question Godpromisethatthelastenemy tobedestroyedis death.(I,Cor. 18, 38?)

A.: God does not promise that the last enemy to be destroyed is death. InI.Cor.15,20, St.Paulmerelystates that the last enemy,or the latest enemy, that Christ has conquered is death. The argument df Chap. 15 up toverse28,isthis'Christrosefromthe dead. And if Christ rose from the dead,then,we cannot say that the deaddonotrise,forifthedeaddonot rise,then Christ is not risen,and our faith isinvain. ButChristhas truly risen from the dead:and as death came through Adam, so resurrection has come through Christ. The last enemy to be brought to naught is death.

By the way, if you have read I. Cor„ chap.15, Iam rather surprised at your asking questions about life afterdeath and the resurrection ofthe dead. Afterall the wholechapterpre. supposes the one and deals with the other. Texts of Scripture should not be quoted out of their context. If you kept this rule you would not ask 'why God makes apromise in asentencedfSt.Paul'srwhichdoesnoteven mention God.

Here are the questions:

Q.: Why do you call the Roman Church the Catholic Church, when everybody knows it ifnot the UNL VEBSAL Church?

A.: This is attempting to base an argument merely on the dictionary meaning of the word "Catholic." Catholic means universal; the Roman Church does not number all Christianswithin itsfold; therefore the Roman Church is not Catholic. Seem. ingly,avery good argument. Actu. ally all it proves is that the "Roman" Church is not "Catholic"in the sense 'of containing all Christians within its fold. It does not touch on the reason why the "Roman"Church claims to be called Catholic. It does not touch on the question as to whether or not all Christians should bewithin that fold.

M1158 Telephones— L1450

In other words,yourargument inits simplest form—as a syllogism--could be putin thesewords: -

Catholic means Universal.

The "Roman" Church is not Universal. Therefore the "Roman"Church is not Catholic.

Since by "universal" you mean "made up of all Christians"all you prove is that the "Romany

" Church does not contain all Christians within its fold. Which is evident—and which no onedisputes.

The reasonwhy the"Roman" Church claims the title of Catholic is this: Christ founded one True Church; He means ALL MEN to belong to that Church; therefore that Church is Catholic—in Christ'splan—of its very nature;the "Roman"Church is the True Church of Christ; therefore it is essential to the name Catholic You may notagreewith thisargument,but you cannot deny itslogicity.

Moreover,in fact the "Roman' Church is the only Christian ChurcbM which has ever made auniversal ap. peal to all mankind, which still numbers men ofall nations within its fold. (Itseemstome—andhereIgiveaper. sonalopinion—thatit is difficulttosee that the Church was ever universal in the sense in which you use the word: becauseChurch Historytells astoryof heresy almost from the beginning—a story of people who broke away from the "Roman" Church.) Thatdid not make them members of the True Church—they were not considered as part of the "Catholic" Church—even in your sense. If you wish to hold that all the Christian churches form partof ONE universal Church, that is your concern. You may not recognise the clai;ns of the "Roman" Church to be the one True Church of Christ,and therefore to be the only Churchwith arightofuniversalappeal to mankind. But you cannot dis. prove that claim merely by an argument from the ordinary meaning of aword.

Q.: WouldtheChurchof Rome have any objection to calling itself the RamanCathoHoChurch?Ifso,why?

A.: What the"Churchof Rome" objects to in the use Of this title is the invisible hyphen between the words ",Roman"and "Catholic"—or if you like, the Accent on the Roman. In other words,theChurch objectstothe Implicationthatthe"ChurchofRome" is one branch of the "Catholic" Church.

Q.: Your branch cannot e]aim nniver• sallty a you number roughly 130 millions of the earth's Poptdstim, andof that number 140millions are fluterate,

A.: The "branch" theory and your statement about universality were dealt with in the answer just given. In regard to numbers. The Catholi c

considered as onebody could not be called Catholic,because your reason• ing is based on world population and proportion. Why Q

thtero is AR sngiana w• enly auow• f

a Chesrch.of Iingland monarch at the head 4 the nation? Why not a RomanCatholic? Yonsayyourre8 gion is from Christ Sim. self.

A.: If you know about English history you know aswell asIdo why a "Roman" Catholic cannot be King of England. But do you,in all seriousness'mean to adduce thatas aproof that the "Roman"Catholic Church is not"descendedfrom Christ," whatever the value'of the arguments for and against,the fact that acountry with anatablishedChurchexcludesamemberofanotherChurchfromtheThrone doesnotproveeitherofthem to beor nottobetheChurchofChrist.

Zn• closedisaooPyofIsBaptismal Cwtificate where the priest dgas himself an R,O. priest. 'Sow can you be an AAustralian Catholic priest? (Enclosed acopy of acertificate of [Baptism.)

A.: This is pure piffle. If you insiston callingmea"Roman"Catholic, being an Australian as I am, you

should logically call me an Australian "Roman"Catholic. Even according to your theory of titles,"Roman" has nothing to do with nationality..Does amanhave to be English tosay he is amember of the Church of England? Or are there,no Australian Anglodatholics?

In the second place your own evidence betrays you. You will notice that at the top of your Certificate of Baptism the following heading:'Reg. istration Act" 19,Vic., No. 34(Schedule C). At thebottom: "Denomina tion." Itis therefore an officialdocu. ment. The official title oftheChurch in this country is"Roman Catholic," Forinstance,when aCatholic man enlistsinthe Army he gives his religion as"Roman Catholic."

Poo r Man's Path to'Peace

Patience and

Prayer the Auxiliaries of

Human Efforts Unavailing Without a Supernatural Inner Principle...

Where the Popes

By THOMAS J. GRADY.

Let me not seem to say that David should not have had a stone, that Chrysostom should not have had a pulpit, or that Aquinas should not have had apen. Imean only to say that they went forth in the name of the Lord.

Peace--The Fruit of Justice.

Peace is not easily enjoyed by a man, by anation, by the world. It comes after aperiod of patience cbaracterised by prudent renunciation. In striving for peace one must first do what is most terrible for one who strives: he must wait. He must not, however, wait passively. He must struggle and suffer struggle, not blindly, but deliberately, according to definite principles and towards adefinite end. The sinner in the Hands of Grace and under a wise director struggles against old habits and old desires until at length he is granted victory over them. The victory is not peace; but the victory changes the sinner into ajust man; and the fruit of justice is peace.

The world to-day iswaiting, ardent. ly anticipating—but what? Not al. ways peace! With anguished expectancy the world is waiting for Johnny to come home, for vindication, for steaks, tires, gas or simply to be left alone. These things are not peace. The world is struggling, making terrible renunciations in -

life and happi• ness and comfort. But not all of its suffering is in the Hands ofGrace and under the care ofawisedirector. By violence alone the world cannot achieve peace. According to its very nature, violence is anegative force, expending itself indestruction. Atbest, it can liberate positive forces. Allied victory around the world can liberate such positive forces.

Place Their Hopes

of learned remedies that they imagine that there is nothing nvhich they can do't'o help. Whereas they can contribute one really essential effort to the cause for peace—their prayers.

Surely they are alone; they are unimportant; they are in cold reality "lowly." But it is an old story that God bath scattered the proud in the conceitof theirheart

... and bath ex. alted the lowly. He bath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he has sent empty away." Faith isarealitywhichinvestslowlinessv(ith special power, with full power to at, cept the precept of Paul: "I urge, therefore, first of all, thatsupplication, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving bemadefor all men; forkingsand for all in high positions, thatwe may lead aquiet and peaceful life in all piety and worthy behaviour."

ThePopesShow the Way.

During the first World War Pope Benedict XV. raised alonely voice to instruct the world. To his instruction he added again and again the plea for prayers to the Immaculate Virgin Mary. On December 24, 1915, he added to the Litany of Loreto the title of"Queen ofPeace." Will Mary, who is Queen not of wars and slaugh. ter, but of the kingdom of peace, disappoint the prayersand trustof faithful children? . Faith and history alike point us to the one succour, to the omnipotence of prayer, to the Mediatrix, to Mary.

He referred to prayer and penance as"the only refuge for Our own heart and for every humanheart

... the one effective means ,

for obtaining from Godthe peace for which wesigh:'

and enduring peace, it isalwayspossible for men to implore God's inter. cession. Between God and men, the Lord has placed as Mediatrix our most sweet Mother Mary. In October of 1942 he personally consecrated the whole world to the Immaculate Virgin. He begged her to "procureforusthosegraces whichpropare, establish and assure the peace." He was "confident that iwe shall receive mercy

... not through our own inadequate merits, but solely through the great goodness of the Maternal Heart."

Unlike the world, he does not trust in power; rather he trusts in inno. cence: He says, in"Quamvis Plane":

If, calling to mind our sinfulness we feel ourselves to be unworthy ofher Maternal affection, let us lead our children in ever increasing numbers toher sacred shrines

... those little ones withinnocent souls andlips un-

Justice

stained, who in their limpid eyes seem to mirror and reflect something of the splendour of heaven. Hereis acrusading call toparentsand to teachers. "How could she fail to hear them (our prayers) if with the prayers of the angels in Heaven there should be intertwined those of ebildren whomone may call angelsof this earth?" ("Quandoquidem in Guberanda").

The world isin great need; and you can help: the mother at home should work, the man intheoffice should fill outhisforms, the scholarshould study. the soldier should fire hisgud; but all alike should pray. The Queen of the World and theQueen of Peace is kind and gracious. Queen of Cana;Queen of Easter Morning, Queen of Lepanto, she can help the world, ifonly we ask. You are poor?—one of unimplemented needs? Then, to you most of all will she stoop. You, above all, should pray.

The leaders of the Allied nations are, of course, conscious that victory in arms is not peace. But if we re• call the Treaty of Versailles and its makers, if we recall the way expedi. ency has sometimes swayed the victorious leaders of this war, we may prudently question rwbether they understand what peace is—the fruit of justice. They may not want strict justice; they may not wish to go out of their way to help an enemy or a small nation. If so,theywill have no lasting peace. These leaders, and those for whom they stand, need two ,hinge—true direction and grace. True direction they can receive from the Vatican. Andmay there be manv to interpret and propagate that dire4 tionI But most of all, these leaders need grace, becausewithout grace they may refuse the direction. And the point Iwish to make is this: apower. ful instrument for winning grace, a powerful instrument for controlling 'the minds of ourleaders, is within the use of every citizen, even the mean. est. That instrument is prayer, especially prayer to the Blessed Virgin.

Prayer--The Path to Peace.

Since the beginning of the present war, Pope Pius XII. hasbeen achampion of rights, afather to the homeless and afflicted, an agent of mercy. He has left nothing undone which might lessen the horrors of war or wrap upitswounds. But in the very beginning he begged for the use of more than human means. In the same document in which he gave the broad outlineof his planforpeace ("InQuesto Giorno Di Santa"), he empbasised the fact that the "inner principle" of peace is supernatural:

Of this justice, which alone can create and preserve peace, We and wwith Us all who bear Our voice, know where to find the supreme model, the inner principle, and the sure promise.... Let us go over to Bethlehem. There we shall find lyingin the cradle Him Who isborn "theSun of Justice,Christour God," and at His side the Virgin Mother who is the "Mirror of justice" and the "Queen of Peace" with the holy Protector, Saint Joseph, "the just man."

For the attainment of the supernatural gift of world peace be wanted to use all possible purely natural means, but be did not want to stop with them:

If . We have left nothing undone that human power could do andhuman counsels couldsuggest to avert this accumulation of evils. We nonetheless place all Our hope in Him Who alone is all-powerful.. We desire, therefore, that all should interweave their prayers with Ours, that the MercifulGodbyHis power. ful command mayhasten the end of the -

are mute in their gr 4

In the sense that it is realistic and not foolish, prayer is not the instrument of achild. In another sense, however, it is, Pius XII. has recommended it especially to children; and it is the instrument of the humble of heart. The scholar or organiser may become very busy in the cause of peace; be may think that he is heping to achieve peace, forgetting that peace isnot achieved: "Mypeace Igive unto Volt."

12 and anxiety or are unconsciously selin praying only for the solution of their own personal problems. They feel so small in the face of interna. tional tragedy andchaos or in the face

calamitous storm. And since, as Saint Bernard says,"It is the Wi!lofGod that weshouldobtain all "through Mary" all should have recourse to her ("Superiore Anno').

Inotice in the week-end press that the Prime Minister'sdaughter (Mrs. J. W. Cole) haspublishedabookofverse, the proceeds of(which will go to the W.A. branch of the Australian Red Cross. Some excerpts.

from the book were quoted, and while Ididn't find them very interesting as literature, a quotation (from "An Agnostic" struck me on account of its philosophical absurdities. Thepoem is not,ofcourse, necessa

rily autobiographical. The excerpt in question goes:

"I am an Agnostic

Why

Because Ido not know

Whether or no

There is aGod

Yet Iwill grant

There are many things Godly

In this world of ours. Yet Icannotreconcile

The Creator of such good with Another

The Creator of the world

The Creator of diseases of babies

Deformed. The useless misery of War,

The oppression of the poor."

Iam vulgar enough to believe that this kind ostuff could have been just as unintelligibly rendered in prose

bus: "Iam an Agnostic because I don'tknow whetheror noto believe in God. Iwill, moreover, make the admission that many things in the world are like this god-idea, that is I'm not at all sure of their existence. For all that. I'm reasonably certain that some babies exist who are deformd, that whatwe call'war' has acertainreality in the way of misery, and that the poor seemed to be'fairly concrete, although depressed. If there is aGod it is regrettable that He should have created these things. Of course, the good things of life are also alleged to have been made by Him, but I'm not sure if He exists under this aspect." Ofcourse, the trickin putting this sort of muddy emotionalism across is to be free with the capital letters.

"I am an Agnostic" looks scientific, while"Ianianagnostic" looksobscene.

Similarly:"WecannothaveArthamstrung with Logic" is quite impressive, making one think of Matisse and John Stuart Mill, but if you leave out the capital letters the whole thing might refer merely to carpenters and theologians.

As an approach to the problem of pain and evil one cannot conscientiously recommend Mrs. Cole's verse. Afterall, hard cases made bad law and if one really wants to complicate the problem, Ithink that tetanus in horses is infinitely more inexplicable than hydrocephalus in children. For the general solution of theproblem of pain for Christians proceed not so much from philosophy as from the Passion and Death of Christ. All pain is explicable in the death of God. Even deformed or idiot children may be baptised, and thus achieve supremely the purpose of their creation, which is the VisionofGod.

Papal Academy Plans Extension

Outbreak of the war prevented the disclosure of alarge-scale plan of activity worked out by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. Details of. be plans have not been made public, but it is known that they were on avery large scale, and that they would have proved "very interesting" to all the scientists of the world.

long History.

misery in the simple belief that they were fighting in ajust cause, that somehow right was more important than pain, and even than life, It is strange to see Mrs. Cole writing of war's "useless misery."

The oppression of the poor is an even clearer case. Why Mrs. Cole is so anxious to fasten the responsibility for the miseries of industrialism on to aGod of Whose existence she is not at all sure, is alittle baffling. It is, however, but one of adozen such inconsistencies, as, for example, where the book is dedicated to the wives, mothers and sisters"who have pray. ed," and where the author depicts the mates df a`soldier killed in action making thanksgiving to the Creator. It is all very mixed up indeed, and reminds me of the prayer of one of the early agnostics,"O, my God (if there is aGod), save my soul(if Ihave a soul). Amen."

According to Thomas B. Morgan, in anew book about theVatican, "The Listening Post," the Holy See has an unrivalled system of communicaions inbothpeaceandwar.

"Its resources in transmitting and receiving surpass the great Press agencies and newspapers," he says, and Morgan should know for hewas assigned to the Vatican by great American agencies for 20 years.

Even in wartime, he says, the Holy See is receiving news df what transpires everywhere. For instance, in spite of the enormous obstacles. reports of the terror in Poland "reach Vatican Hall swith scheduled regularity."

Requests from Bishops in Poland for dispensations to enable the people to practise their religion in exceptional circumstances reach the Vatican safely, and written permission is received in Poland. How isitdone?

Morgan gives one explanation.

Heroic Nun.

"News came to me." he writes,"that in the See of Y—, the Bishop made out areport in detail for the Holy Father. It seemed impossible to ob. tain its delivery. It would have been foolhardy to have entrusted it to any. one to cross the German frontier, and then the Italian Irontier."

The Bishop called in anun noted for her mental alertness and tact. He gave her the report.

The nun, who spoke German perfectly, crossed into Germany after a most scrupulous examination of her modestbaggage.

"On she rode by slow trains from town to town. She reached the Italian frontier. Again there was the rigid surveillance. She spoke only German. Againshe passed. She was in Italy. Slowly the last stretch of the long trail was finished. She was received in audience."-

It was not the Gestapo's fault that no one hadfound thereportwhich the nun delivered to His Holiness. She took it with her—but in her head. She had memorised it word'for word, all 3,000words of it.

The nun returned to Poland carrying "he word of dispensation for the faithful and the exhortation to courage for the dayof Polish redemption." Organised Service.

When Pope Pius XI., by his Motu Proprio of October 3S, 1936 founded the Pontifical Academy of Sciences"in order to promote the study and the progress of the physical, mathematical and natural sciencesand theirhistory," he.was in fact reconstituting an organisation which was the first of its kind actually antedating the Academies of Paris, London, St. Petersburg and Berlin.

Recordsgoing backto1603 tellof the "Academiae Lynceorum." founded by cases of heroism there is athoroughly organised, superblydisciplinedand efficiently operated underground from Poland to the Holy See.

"Itis not that the Nazi overlords do not know of it. They know that it exists but it is elusive to their Gestapo, which has spared neither murder nor torments to break up this puzzling network of grapevines which steadilypours an accountofthe sufferinganddespair to Rome," Vatican and the Press.

Some antiCatholics have an impression that the Vatican makes tremendous efforts to get Catholic news and propaganda into the secularPress. Per]taps they are confused by the name oftheRomanCongregationwhichdeals with the missions—the S. Congrega. tion of the Faith.

They should readtheevidenceof the non-Catholic author of"The Listening Post" His experiences woud show that anewspaper man covering the Vatican has an unusually difficult job.

Moreover, he shows that the Roman Curiamade no distinctions on account ofreligion.

"On the part of the Holy See, there had never been one slight sliver of discrimination against any of us because of heterodoxy. None of the Vatican officials raised that, question, whether he were asimple priest or an eminentissimo Cardinal.

"In many conversations with Cardinal Gasparri, in more than 12 audiences'with Pius XII, when be was Secretary of State, my religion never came up. We were all treated as'the Press.' Wewere neveraskedtostress anything orplay anything down.Judgment on all news was entirely in our hands."

12 ATWELL ARCADE, TREMANTLE

poll= B101;00ERE, Iregret having to refer tothe Luxor 'theatre again, but as reports indicate that the current show is remarkable chiefly for its filth, it has occurred to me to wonder why the. authorities allow children to attend. Now, whatever may be said in defence of-such shows for an adult mixed audience-end it is afact that if one performed in the street many of the antics one sees on the stage,one would be arrested for indecent behaviour, nor do I know when even strip-tease became authoritatively recognised as amorally acceptable form of entertainment— theeffect on the adolescentmind must be harmful at least to a degree. It passes my comprehension, then, why theauthoritiesallowanypersons,other than suchadults as would go, into the Luxor atall.

"THE MOOCHER"

"THE RATS or TOBRUE."

Because thenameofTobrukwillsear itself into Australian history and because Australian produced films are a rarity,Charles Chauvel's production at the Ambasadors is well worth seeing. By the time this appears in print. the show will have only two more days to run, but like many other pictures re• viewed on this page, it should shortly find its way to suburban and country theatres, and hence afew words will notbe out of place.

The film has evoked criticism from Army circles because of various inaccuracies but few would expect even a Hollywoodfilmtogive anaccuratePic. tore of the life of an Americanmarine, Certainly there are some oversights which it is difficult to understand, though many of them wouldpass over the heads of those who did notknow, for example, there there was no Queensland battalion atTobruk. But others are inevitable. Because the area inside the Tobruk perimeter looked more like the Nullabor Plains than aSydneybeach,onewould scarcelyexpectMr, Chauvel to transfer his outfit to Central Australia. Iunderstand he had quite enough trouble with the Government before he had completed the presentfilm.

Nor will the film be popular with those who are spoon-fed with Hollywood glamour, and for this the pro• ducer is to be commended. The women in the story—the girl on the cattle-station, the nurse at Tobruk— are all more or less incidental to the story, which is rather astory of mateship in the accepted Australian tradi. tion. As such the film falls short of being either agood documentary film orascreen epic.

(ccasionally in the film incidents are overplayed. As afriend remarked because something happens, that does not make it any the more cred• ible. On the other hand, the comedy —with George Wallace and thebombhappy Scottie,whose nameescapes me wereup to thestandardofanyscreen entertainment. The casting throughout was satisfactory. Summing up, it may be said to be afilm that should hold the interest df many Australians.

is completelyfoolish toimaginethatwe can regain alost culture simply by putting the clock back—or thatin the strictestsensewecan"regain"aculture at all. Whateverwe meanby culture we should certainly agree that itprim• arily involves the acceptance and development of aliving tradition. We cannot live alone. We cannot ignore what the other fellow is doing. The strongest criticism that can be made of the Therry Society'spresentation in the Assembly Hall is that it failed to take into account the peculiar requirements of culture in amodern society. To be precise. nobody any longer wants to look at"wishy-washy" plays about spinsters who fly into a flutter when they smell aman in the place. Ifthat sortofthingistobedoneatall it must be done extremely rwell—as it iwas in"Pride and Prejudice." The important thing to notice about Greer Garson'srole in thisfilm was that she presented acomplete contrast to the othergirls in the story. Shewas selfpossessed,self-reliant, she dominated the scene. She was in fact amodern girl in aVictorian setting,and that was largely what gave the show its strength and direction, Humour was the keynote of"Pride and Prejudice," asnodoubtitwasofthe screenversion of "Quality Street;" with Katharine HepburnasPhoebeThrossell. Thecoo. ment the comedy drops in astory of this sort the performance becomes unbearable. The emphasis must not be on the notion that the Misses Thros. sell are "very dear and very human;" but on the amusing contrast between the tremulous Susan and the daring and tomboyish (andbeautiful) Phoebe.

That aSociety of only twelve months' standing and with.no experience should attempt an outmoded and difficult play like "Quality Street" passes comprehension. All the ingenuity of Hollywoodwouldbe needed to make this story live with amodern audience. Had any responsible mem• bers of the Therry Society gone along to the IndependentPlayers' production of"Quality Street" in the sameAssembly Hall only acouple of months ago, they would surely have cancelled their own arrangements immediately. It Was then manifest, in spite of the excellentworkdonebylfiss Marie Beeck, as Phoebe. that"Quality Street" wasa trap foryoungplayers. Itwouldhave been muchwiseriftheTherriesattheir first public outing had confined themselves to something simple which they could handle. The first essential of aplay isthatitmust "go over,"andto ensure that aplay goes over with a bang,itis necessary tohaveyouraudi. ence in mind when choosing the play, for the audience is apart of the play everybitasmuch as the actors.

It is an oft-repeated platitude that there is sufficient dramatic interest in Australian life and history to make some great Australian films. It is to be hoped that Australian producers, as Mr. Chauvel has done so far, will concentrate on making films on satisfactory Australian themes, and imitate only the best features of imported films. Then we may develop cinema entertainment as distinctive of the Australian culture as the French and Russian films are of theirs.

"THE MOOCHER."

THERRYS=ICTYPRODUOITON. "QUALITYSTREET."

The Therry Society's production of "Quality Street" over the week-end did nothing to strengthen hopes that here at last in Perth was acultural scorn from which might grow an oak-tree. It

it would have been someconsolation if the performance had lived up to the promise of the gushing,sentimental and extravagantlyworded programme: but it would have been infinitely preferable if the programme had just said whatithad tosay and no more. There isacertain dignitytobeobserved with programmes; theyare not the place for superfluous gossip norforpious wishes. If the Themes are hoping for public support,as their public advertisement would indicate and their raison d'etre would imply,theywouldbe well advised to consider making their bill of fare more conventional and therefore less irritating. This goes, too, for the periodic perorations from the proscenium.

To all butshe very blind it mustbe obvious thateachgeneration leaves an imperishable imprint on society. At every stage of existence thought and action combine to bring about modifi• cations in the design forliving. When we speak of"the spirit of an age;" rove know that we are talking about some• thing quite intangible but nevertheless real; and the best proof we have of the reality of'the slow change in the national temper lies in the unmistak. able changes taking place in the nae tional literature,for literature is areflection of life.

Contemporary literature, international as well as national,reveals that the modernmind isin aquesting, restless state. It suffers sadly from the lack of a unifying philosophy. Its mood ishighlysceptical,extremelysensitive. In thecircumstances df to-day whoever mouldindoctrinate must first learn crowd psychology. We can trace the prevailing mood back to the influence ofthe French Symbolists towards the end of the last century—and notably to Charles Baudelaire, whose principal work ("Les Fleurs Du Mal") caused asensation. Came the Great War with its aftermath of misery and disillusionment, and in 1922 T. S. Eliot summedupthesituationin"TheWaste Land." Subsequentliterature has followed much the same bent.

To ignore the modern temper is to behave like the ostrich. Recognition does not imply acceptance, but rather aproper understandingof the problem and acourageous facing up to its 80111tion. The right way to go about cultural development is to set about itrrproving, not replacing. We have to work.on the material that is around us,becausewhatwehavenowisapart cf aliving tradition; we have to"penetrate our milieu," we have to prune and graft,butwecannot-

uproot.

The validity of this viewpoint has beenemphasisedoverthelastfewyears by the widespread success of the film, "Soya' Town," of the book, "The Song of Bernadette;" of the play, "Father Malachy's Miracle." We see evidence of the right approach, too, in the de. cision of some American nuns to form their own swing band. Indeed, it is an achievement of great merit and an example to the world if we can succeed in being modern while remaining moral. It is the most conclusive ans• werpossibletothesneersof those who would brand us as mere reactionaries with our hearts andminds in thepast.

If anyone requires to be convinced of the uselessness of anything short of afull-blooded attack on the modern world, he need look no further than among the faces of those who attend entertainments prepared on the "nice" model. Where bordom is not evident it isony replaced byparental pride or partisanencouragement. It isgreatly

It would be painful and profitless to go into details concerning the Therry production,but afew aspects call for special comment. Firstly, Phoebe and Susan should have changed places. It was evident from the start that the one had more savoir-faire than the other, and it should have been remem• bered by the producer that J. M. Barrie wrote this play (in 1902)for one person,and one person only—Phoebe Throssel (orginally played by Miss Maude Adams). Secondly, since so much was made of "Phoebe of the Ringlets'" itshould have been seen to that theringletswereworthlooking at.

Lent:

Purpose of. Penance

On Ash Wednseday the distribution of the ashes officially ushers in the Season of Lent, which in itself is apreparation for the Christian Pasch, which commemorates the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Our Saviour. In the early Church, Lent was the time of preparation for baptism and also the special occasion for public sinners to prepare for absolution. The idea of this spirit ofpreparation to shake off the shackles of sin is the keynote to the understanding ofthe Lenten liturgy. This departure,from sin and union with Christ was first effected in our baptism when, in the language of St. Paul, we were buried together with Him by baptism unto death, that we might arise with Him and walk in newness of life. And. again, it is effected cacti time we do penance for sin and are restored to grace. Lent, then. is atime of retreat for the whole Christian world, atime-for us (as for the Catechumens and

public sinners) of prayer, fasting and recollection asfaras our dutiespermit.

eThe penitential practices of fast and abstinence daring the Lenten Season are designed to train the ,out to virtue and holiness of life by destroying sin, the one mortal disease of the soul, by impelling it to repentance and to the use of th ose means o

f forgiveness which Christ has entrusted to His Church. Mortification even anticipates sin by dealing with temptation to sin, against which it strengthens the soul by inducing it to accept hardships, however severe, rather than yield to the temptation. Hence, mortification, though from one standpoint alaw of death, according to its derivation, is ultimately and fundamentally alaw of life, elevating and not destroying nature. St. Paul had this in mind when he wrote to the Romans: "Ifyou live according to the flesh you shall die: and if, by the Spirit, you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live." Mortification is, then, to be practised in the best interests of the soul, for by destroying the diseases of the soul it restores and invigorates its true life.

EXHIBITIONTO C.B.H.S. STUDENT

In addition to the curative ainis of mortification, penance is alsoemployedas apersonalexpiation in unionwithChrist'sAtonement for our sins, and this is very pleasing to God. It explains, moreover, the severe austerity of many of the Saints. The discipline,however, of the soul and the internal mortification ofpride and self-love are

in fact the essential end of all external penance. which isefficacious only so faras it springsfromthisinternal penance, and serves to promote it. So the Church prays on Ash Wednesday with the words of Joel the Prophet: "Rend your hearts and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God." Accordingly the Church has mitigated from time to time the severity of the Lenten fast to serve the best interests of the souls of her children. But She has not, and cannot, relax Her demand for the inner change of heart, that putting off of the "old man" which is the purpose of Lent in preparation for the true rejoicing at Easter and for the reception of the Easter Sacrament. Let us then strive to make of Lentapersonal success while praying that God might create aclean heart and renew aright spirit within us.

Why Will the Body be Reunited to the Soul After the General Judgment?

What aGlorified Body Will Be Like

HowtheMysteriesofFaithShallbeMadePlain

'By11GR. R.A. KNOX.

We are talking about hell as well as heaven, when we say we believeinthe resurrection oY the body. Why it is thatthelostsoulsin hellhave tohave theirbodies restored to them after the General Judgement, is not immediately obvious. All you can say is that if you're going to have a faith you have got to believe what it tells you, o the uncomfortable parts as well as the comfortable ones. But another difficultyarises:How willitbe possiblefor my body to rejoin my soul? That isn't reallyas difficult adifficulty as it sounds. Yourbody is aliving thing, whichgoeson changing all thetime,as living thingsdo. Ithink the'scientific people tell its that every year every part of one's body is made up of different pieces of stuff, compared with lastyear. The samebody, thoughnot made up of the same bits of skin; it isn't going to be difficult for us, then, to getback the samebody in the next world.

And there's athird question thatobviously suggests itself about heaven. If peoplecan get on quite comfortably without their bodies till the General Judgement, why can't they get on quite comfortably without their bodies after the General Judgement? The answer to that, Ithink, is that body and soul were made for one another, and therdfore both of them are in an unnatural statewhen you divide them, and demand to be reunited. It isn't that the soul is unhappy without the body; it can express itself otherwise, in heaven. But the body, which has been our companion all through our earthly pilgrimage, must not be permanently left out in the cold; that wouldn't be right. It, too, has its passport to eternity.

Not that, in heaven, our bodies will be in thesame state as here. St.Pau) tells us that our heavenly body won't be any more like our earthly body than the harvest which you cut in the summer islike the miserable little wizenedseeds,which you sowed inthelate autumn. Our bodies, in heaven, will be etherialised; they will have none of the disabilities which they had on earth. Our bodies, in heaven, the theologians tell us, will offer no resistance to the touch, won't be solid; we won't have the kind of body which takes time in moving from place to place., We shan't have bodily needs, either, which we have to satisfy; by eating and drinking, for example.

Some things the theologians tell us about heaven are just guess-work, and don't pretend to be more than guess. work. WhatIthinkyoucansaywith perfect confidence, although as faras I know it isn't laid down officially anywhere, is that we shall know one another,andthatpartofourhappinessin, heaven will bedue to finding ourselves reunitedwiththose we love. Weshall be united, too, with the Saints who prayed for uswhile wewere onearth; we shall be united by alove we never dreamt of to our Lord Himself.

And at the same time, when we get to heaven—if we get to heaven—we shall realise that the Credo was true, insteadofjustgoingon believingitwas true. We shall be conscious of God as our Father; we shall recognise that everythingwhich happened an earth was part of an almighty design. We shall find it quite mlural that there should be three Per%ons in the God• head. and that the second Person should be both God and Man: God's

only Son, our Lord, the visible object, now, of our worship, thanking us for all the little services we did for him. We shall have no difficulty in seeing that our Blessed Lady became His Mother, and yet remained a Virgin. And although pain and suffering will then be only adistant memory of the past, no part any longer of our daily experience, we shall be able to look into and understand the sufferings which Our Lord underwent when, He was crucified by Pontius Pilate, all those billions andbillionsofyears ago; we shall understand those sufferings and take, from them, the measure

of His love. We shall look down into the twilight tworld of Limbo, where once the patriarchswere; quite empty, now, onlyarecordofthe past; andthe strange old people we used to see in stained-glass windows will be real people to us then-, brought to light when Our Lord descended into hell. The Resurrection will not merely be something that seems quite natural; we shall be conscious Of it at every instant as the very condition of our being; for we, too, shall have become part of that Risen Life which Our Lord brought back with Him from the tomb. We shall see Him, ascended, sitting at the right handofHisFather, thank Himforthemercifuljudgements fie passed on us, living and dead. He shall feel the presence of the Holy Spirit within us: we shall know the Church for Christ's glorious Bride; we shall be in conscious communion with all theSaints; our sins,instead of looking black,will berose-hued, like clouds at sunset, with the grace of final forgiveness. We shall be risen, soul and body; soul and body pulsing at every moment with the energies of an everlasting life.

Lieut. Michael Casey, of the Royal Army Medical Service, sends aprayer "composed by the wife of one of the drivers of his field ambulance," aPte. O'Donoughue, of Skibbereen. "We have adopted it as our own," he says,"and have itpostedover the driver's seat in all our ambulances. Ihope it may appeal tomany whodrive:

,"Grant me asteady hand and watchful eye, That no man shallbe hurtwhen Ipass by;

Thou gayest life, and pray no act of mine May take away or mar that gift of Thine. Shelter those, dear Lord, who bear me companyFrom theevilsoffireand allcalamity: Nor let us miss through love of speed Thy beautiful world, so thus Imay With joy and courtesy,go my way:'

One of the strangest prayers on recordhas come from thelipsofaNegro pastor. He said, before delivering his morning sermon:

"OLewd,giveThyservantthismorning the eyes of an eagle and the wisdom of the owl, connect his soul with the Gospel telephone in the central skies,'luminate his brow with the sun of Heaven, pizenhismindwithlovefor de people, turpentine his imagination, grease hislips with'possum oil, loosen his tongue with the sledge hammer of Thy power, 'lectricity his brain wid de lightnin' of de word, put 'petual mo• tionin hisarms,fillhimplum fullofde dynamite of Dy glory,'noint him all over wid de kerosene oil of Dy salvation and sothim on fire.... Amen."

Considerable pride was felt by those responsible for the L.C.Y. when, on Sunday. January 28,the day of their annual Communion,sixty-five young lads marched in and took their places in St.Joseph'sChurch,atthe9oclockMass.

This annual event is an inspiring sight and must remind parents and friendsof the silentspiritualwork that goes hand in hand with all the other activities of the League.

AfterMass the ladsadjourned to St. Joseph'sHall, when a sumptuous breakfast was provided. In ahappy, informal atmosphere members seated themselves at daintily arranged table+ and were wafted uponby anumberof young ladies of the pariah. To these ladies we tender the grateful thanks ofthe L.C.Y,

Franco Invites Americans to Come and See Spainfor Themselves

*Appeal to Press

for Fair Play

Alleged Obligations to Axis Untrue Exiles May Return But.Not Professional' Agitators

Arequest for "fair play"in giving the truthabout Spain to the American public and an invitation to"all Am. ericans to come and see for themsel. ves" what is happening in that coun. try, were expressed by Generalissimo Franco in an interview with two United Press correspondents. A. L. Bradford and Ralph Forte,on Novem. ber 3, in the Prado Palace in Madrid. The journalistsemphasised that the interview was "exclusive"and given on the understanding that the American people were "honourable men" who were willing to hear both sides of an issue.

Inhis account of the interview,brief 'excerpts from which appeared in the Australian daily press,Mr. Bradiford quotedGeneral Franco as denying that Spainhadeverbeen Nazi or Fascist or allied secretly or otherwise,with the Axis Powers,and as asserting that Spain could not ally herself with any country that was not guided by the principles of Catholicism. The Spanish leader added there was no ob. 'stacle to collaboration,howeven, with the Allies or with Russia as long as there was no interference in Spain's internal affairs.

Regarding the presence of the Span. ishBlue Division on the Russian front, General Franco told the United Press correspondents:

"This involved no idea of conquest nor passion,against any antiCommunistic purpose in accord with the tradi. lion of foreign legions. When the Spanish Government learned that the presence off these volunteers might af. fectour relations with theAllied countries, with which we maintained friendly relations with the Allied countries, with whichtw-emaintained friendly relations,it took the necessary steps to order those volunteers to return to SPAIN."

Thousands of Exiles Returned.

Spain,General Franco said, had now Nentered aperiod of pacification and hundreds of thousands of Spanish exiles already had returned home, "A civil war," he said,"is difficult to settle. It inevitably.leaves in its wake, among other evils,the existence of emigrant groups in other countries. Theunhappylot of thosewho are forced to abandon their homes always

moves the sympathies of those who harbour them.

"On the other hand,it is impossible in amajority of cases to take these exiles at their word. The distances involved, the lack of accurate infor. mationfrom home,the natural bitterness of those who have lost the fight, and their passion—all these things usually prevent them from being fair in their judgments. .

"It is dangerous,therefore, to believe what such exiles say when they speak of those who govern in the country wherein the fortunes of politics have prevented them from living. But hundreds Of thousands of Spain's sons who left their country after the civil war have now returned home. Distinguished personalities who were exiled from Spain during the civil war already occupy important posts here in various fields and especially in intellectual activities.

"Forgetting the bitterness of the struggle,we often have extended an invitation to return home to those de. siring

to live here,and Irepeat that those whohaveaccepted ourinvitation are innumerable. It is to be hoped that others will return to continue amongususeful andproductive work.

Bars Professional Agitators.

"Naturally, pro

fessional and permanent agitators who defy the authority of the Mate and seek by violence to undermine that authority—these, so long as they do not mend their ways, will not be allowed to return,

"No country in thetworld faced with such

activities would follow any other course. Spain lives and .works in peace, anddoes notfear.butwelcomes , that the world will confirm this fact. We are not afraid the truth, but we fear the'malicious minds' of which St. Paul spoke."

In evidence df his statement that Spainwas notallied with AxisPowers, General Franco said:

"When,in July, 1940,the German armies occupied France and reached the Spanish border and France was totally disarmed,instead of seizing upon these circumstances to attack France from behind,which our tradi. tional chivalry would never have permitted,Spain,on thecontrary,adopted afriendly attitude towards thatneighbour.

'In that moment only one European Power remained at war with the Axis nations and the United States had not entered the conflict. If the accusations concerning our alleged obligations with the Axis had been true, this was the incomparable moment to have taken up arms against the Allied coalition, where, in France, it had ceased to fight, leaving her territory easy prey to occupation by aforeign army.

Invitation toAmericans.

Speaking of Spain's internal situation, General Franco said:

"I invite all Americans to come and see for themselves with their own eyes and contemplate what goes on in our country. They will appreciate, especially, our insistence on maintaining order without which progress is impossible.

Due to certain peculiarities of the Fpanish temperament,political institutions that produce excellent results in other countries lead here to the exact contrary. Forms cif govern-

ment that appear moderate even when directed by'men ofmoderation,here in Spain onlyserve tounleashactsofviolence that immediately destroy these very same menand institutions. Hence the necessity for reinforcing the authority of the Government."

General Franco said he hoped to improve the news system in Spain, characterising the present rules as "not very severe."

This system willbe rapidly improved;' he said,"in view of the intentions of the Spanish Government and the authority of the principal foreign newsagenciesnowestablishedin Spain.

"Every country has always imposed certain responsibilities upon those who, from its territory,inform the rest of the world. Spaincould not be anexception to this rule,even though observing aminimum of tolerance."

He said the time for restoration of the monarchy had not yet come, but indicated that it might after the war.

"It must be amonarchy," he said, "which,recovering the essence of our tradition,will constitute an eminently social reformist monarchy very different from that which recently presided over our decadence."

ForeignMinister's(Address.

Speaking recently at his former university,the Jesuit University at Bilbao, on the occasion of the opening of the scholastic year, the Spanish Foreign Minister,Jose Lequerica, said that unity,respect for personal values

and deference to the eternal values of Christian civilisation were the basis of Spanish internal and external policy, states the "Catholic Herald," London. ."In aworld dominated by violence;" he said,"Spain wishes to abide by the rules of international courtesy, human. ity and reciprocal justice between peolee.

Not in vain are the Spaniards forerunners and even creators of interne. tional law.We shall notdeviate from thelinepersonified byGeneral Franco, of resolutely defending the eternal values of aChristian civilisation, without which neitherafutureworldpeace between the nations nor the maintenance of civilised order within them is conceivable.

As in its most powerful days, the Spanish State tends towards unity. the supreme formula for keeping men unitedin asupreme single power, side bysidewith respectdor personalvalues reflected in abundant tolerance."

The Goomalling Memorial Hall was filled to capacity on Saturday, December 9, when the annual concert of the Presentation Convent School pupils was staged. The programme opened with a chorus, "Australian Rally," prior to which an appropriate welcom. ing speech was well delivered by a small pupil. Aduet "En Route," was expertly rendered,Ifollowed by apoem and song, "Little Boy Blue.' Then an action song, "He Wants to be a Pilot,' gave apatriotic touch, "Wood. en Dolls," by the small girls, was f6llowedby theJunior Boys' Drill,"The Swineherd" was aplayette well carried out, while "John Brown's Farm," another playette, provided one of the brighter spots. Adance number, the Eight-Hand Reel," proved popuuar. The well-known, "IDon't Want to Play in Your Yard," has seldom been better. Well displayed drill by the senior girls was followed by apercussionbanditem ofIrish Airs. Amusi• cal recitation,"Silence," by the senior girls gained the warm applause of the audience. "Brown Sparrow's Nest" was an appealing playette enacted by the small children. "O'er the Hill, O'er the Dale," atwo-part song, was excellently rendered by the senior girls. "I'm aLittle Teapot," by the small boys, and "Six Brown Boxer Hats," bythe senior boys,werewellreceived items. Asong by the senior girls,"The Last Rose of Summer," was followedby the seniorboys'drill,aparticularly good display, concluding with pyramid formations. The pianoforte duet,"Iris." wasloudly applauded. A dialogue,"Vera Goes Shopping," was well done. "Irish Colleens;" song and dance, made astrong appeal, as did the song and tableau, "The Gift." A humorous recitation,"The Ups and DownsofLife." was wellrecited. The concert concluded with F

ATHLETICS,

An (Appeal for Parents' Rapport.

Athletics, of course, do not appeal to everyone but areminder that iri a fewweeks time the L.C.Y. lads willbe competing in the State championships might give some parents and friends sufficient enthusiasmto lend their support

and encouragement to those lads who have so consistentlybeen competing for their club. The boys like to know the "grown ups" are watching theirefforts. Andthe publicgenerally should be giving them every' encour. agement.

Much could be said on the signific. ance of athletics in their effect on the individual, the group and the whole nation, but space is limited.

Suffice to say, however, that more support and prominence should be shown in ourdaily papers towards the clubsand theAssociationin endeavouring to uplift the standard of athletics in this State.

TheapathyoftheW.A. publicin this respectis quite typical.

The following lines are appropriate:

"To clear from humaneyes the dust, To melt from human hearts the crust. To cleave from human wills the rust."

At the present time we need enthusiasm and support for our Austra. lian youth. Be convinced that the end as well as the beginning of our nation's fitness isbased on the mental. physical and spiritual well-being our youth.

Saturday's Results.

In the athletics conducted 1+y the Sports Association At. Lecdervillc on Saturday afternoon, the L.C.Y. lads were instrumental in carrying oil the honours once again. The closeness(A the scores between the L.C.Y. awl YM.C.A. throughout the day added it new zest tothe efforts of thelads.

Some new recordswere made by the L.C.Y. boys, and some races were outstanding in the manner and spirit in which the boys strove for the coveted first place. In this respect the best race of the day was run by J. Parker, of Fremantle, in the under 14 relay.

Having at least 30 yards to make up after the take over at the 220 mark, this boy fought with remarkable spirit, and gradually lessened the gap and won by aUew inches, certainly alionhearted effort. Anotherexcellent race was run by Brian Williams, in the 220 under 15. From aslow first twenty vards, Brian had agood bit to make up, and it looked as if the race was lost, but Brian gradually wore his opponents down and just pipped them at the tape. These examples show a great fighting spirit, and this was no less evident in the other lads.

In instituting this annual function, the Legion has taken its members another ricp forward in their spiritual development, forit is impossiblenotto merit great benefits from thehours of meditation and instruction. There was anotable increase on even last year's good attendan -

e, which illustrates how the Legion is working out according to both Divine and human plans: it has called old and young from all ranks, and compelled avigorous response to its appeal for the work of the Lay Apostolate.

Unsolicited comment has come from ,schools and other sources, tbit since the formation of the Legion in Western Australia, together with other organisations of akindred nature, there hasbeenaremarkable improvement in religious interest and activity among yocng people during after-scbool years, thereby stemming the drift towards materialism which was causing great alarm ashorttime ago.

We cannot over-estimate our in. debtedness to the Sisters of Loreto, who are supplying ahappysolution to theoverdue needof aRetreatHousein this country. They have for many years placed their convent at the disnoml of all who wish to use it during holiday periods. and have given such energetic preparatinn to the catering for retreatants. Osborne is ideal for this purpose; it has the atmosphere of remoteness and the spaciousness necessary to scatter acrowd.

Rev. Father T. Conway, O.M.I., was once again the Director of the Retreat , and his series of Lectures -

werecalculated to drive home the definite duties of every Legionary and the fullest meaningof the LegionofMary. There was aunanimous appreciated of the thorough grip which Father Conway has on every cog of the Legion ma-chine, and he made one and all feel very proud of being amember of this modern movement in the Church.

SPAIN

(Continuedfrom Front Cover.)

Rio Grande there are some 90,000000 Catholics, nearly athird of all the -,Catholics in the world. There is already evident among them aresurg• ence of CatHblic fervour in reaction to the tireless activity of Communists, who use even the orthodox Russian Church asastalking horse; and Ihope and believe that once thorougbly aroused, they will sweep aside, as the Spaniards did, all the rubbish of Marxist atheism.. .

"Now, most of these 90000000 Ca• tholics love Spain. Having nolonger any political difference with Spain, they look to her as thi head of an invisibe but none the less unified empire of sentiment, whose language, customs, traditions and, above all, religion they intimately share. It is futile and puerile to hope to become their friends by baiting and insulting their mother country. If rwe are to reach the hearts of the Spanish Americans, we must love and understand Spain, the true Spain, the Catholic Spain. And if we Catholics of the United States fail to lead the way in this, we shall have aheavy account to square before history and before God."

Protestants in Spain

Wehavehadoccasiontoremarkupon the anti-Spanish sectarian propaganda which has been circulated locally, particularly allegations that Protestants in Spain are being persecuted. These al• legations have now been brought furthertolightbytheWorld'sEvangelical Alliance, which has circulated charges among members of the House of Com• monsand the Foreign Office. According to these charges Protestant evangelists and pastors have been put to death, nearly all Protestant places of worship closed, Protestant versions of the Bible burned, and Protestant mis. sionaries forced to leave the country. Further, it is alleged that children of Protestant parents are compelled to learn the Catholic catechismand "wor. ship imagesof the Virgin Mary," and thatattendanceatMassinmanyplaces is compulsory to propure employment. We are pleased thatpublicity has been given in official quarters to this rig, marole, for we may expect that cog• nisance willbe taken ofit and astatement from the Spanish authorites madeinconsequence. The stuffabout worshipping images, and forced learn• ingof the catechism and attendance at Mass is enough to give the game away to any but the most ignorant bigot. However, since this ,

piffle is solemnly believed by some people, it is well to have it thrashed out in the most pub. lic manner. We may hope, sooner or later, to get at the truth of these "facts." We would not be surprised to learn that certain fanatical Protest. ant "missionaries." who make them• selves apublic nuisance, such as the "Witnessesof Jehovah," whohavebeen banned as an illegal organisation in Protestant Australia and proceeded against in the Protestant United States, have met with similar disap• proval in Spain. But we do not be. lieve that genuine, law-abiding Pro• testants have been discriminated again• st as such. Action of this sort would be againstCatholicprinciples and practice Catholic Eire is a good and familiar example, where freedom of religion is not only guaranteed in the Constitution, but where Protestant leaders constantly go out of their way to pay spontaneous tribute tothe fairness of Government and people towards non-Catholics in the country.
