Whenwetakeasurveyofthesocial conditionofthecivilisedworld,what dowefind?Wefindthatthemasses ofthepeoplearemakingajustremandforanadequateshareinthepropertywhichtheyhelpedorarehelpingtocreate.Undoubtedlyinmore placesthanoneextravagantandalarmingclaimsaremade;radicalismisin theair;but,nevertheless,theserene voiceofimpartialjusticeisalsoloud intheair,anddeterminednottobe silencedagain.Itseems,therefore, beyondquestionthatthenationshave theirmomentouschoicebetweenanarchyandjustice;andjusticeinthe concreteisnothingbutthetruesocial teachingwhichcertainlyisfoundin Christianity.Anditisahopefulomen that,inmanycountries,amongthem beingtheUnitedStatesofAmerica, thetrendofsaneeconomicopinioiis towardsChristiantraditionandChristiandoctrine.Andnowonder,for Christianitystands,andhaseverstood, inthevanofallgenuineprogress,and leadsthesocialmovementoftheday. Christianityopensitscompassionate heartaffectionatelytotheworkers' appealforjustice.LikeitsDivine FounderandMaster,ithaspityonthe people.What,then,isprimarilyandessentiallytheworkers'justdemand?Itis afairwage.Anddecidedlynoone -rmorethangenuineChristiansheartily approveseveryjustandreasonable methodwhichwillenablethelabourer tosecurethisinalienableright.But bothreasonandexperiencepointout onlyonesurewaytoattainthisendnamely,wiselegalmeasures.Wecannotreasonablyhopefortheconversion ofadominantclassofselfishcapitalists;norcanweputourtrustinthe methodofsocialrevolutionistswho wouldannihiliateauthorityandplunge theworldintoahopelessanarchy.If youtakehumannatureatitsbestyou findbyexperiencethatitcannotbe trustedveryfar,wheregainandprofit areinview.Andallfair-mindedemployersareamongthefirsttothoroughlyrealisethedifficultytheyencounterincarryingouttheirlofty Christianideals,andthoseoftheir friendswhen,ashappensgenerally, theyareforcedtocompetewithunscrupulousrivalsuncurbedbylaw.

Accordingly,thereisnohopetoobtain forallworkersatalltimesadecent livingwageexceptbymeansofproper legislation.NowwefindinChristian. ityatraditionofwiselegislation.The Christianguildsdrewupminuteand far-reachingregulationsforsuchlegislation.TheStatesanctionedthem,and guildofficialswereempoweredtosummarilypunishalloffenders.Atthat timetherewaslittledifferencebetween theremunerationofemployerandemployed,andinfixingthewagescale thebenefitoftheconsumerwasnever overlooked.Theaimwasnottosecurethehighestwageswhichthe unionorguildcouldimpose,buttoadjudicateuponthefairestwagesforall. However,bothemployeeandemployerhadonestringentrule-noworkno pay.Norcouldanyemployedderiveprofitswithoutactuallyengaging inthesameoccupationofhissingle tradeAnd-significanttonotetheserulesowedtheirorigintotheemployersthemselves.Now,ofcourse legislationsuitabletoourdaycannot beidenticalwiththeonejustdescribed,exceptinthespiritoffairplayall round.Buttherequisitelegislation forto-dayhasbeenclearlymade known.Theprincipleofalivingwage hasbeenlaiddownbymostcompetent authorities.Theconclusionisobvious.Itwillnotbesufficientlybrought hometothemassesuntilitispractical_ lyappliedtothechangingconditions ofplaceandtime.Whatallthetrue friendsoflabourhavetodoistounite solidlyuponaminimumwagelegislation.Everyworkerhasanatural andinalienablerighttoalivingwage, arighttakingprecedenceoverevery otherconsideration,excepting,of course,therightoftheemployerto livehimselfandhisfamilyinreasonableandmoderate.comfort,according tohisconditioninlife.Also,;nthe :nterestsofbothemployerandemployed,thecontinuanceofthewelfare oftheparticularindustryitselfmust beconsideded.Beyondthis,profits areoutofthequestion,untiltheliving wagehasbeenpaidtotheemployees. Andthisdemand-markitwell-isone ofjustice,andnotofcharity.Yet beforethisterriblewar,accordingto pre-warstatisticsoriginatingfromsocialworkersandeconomists,wefind thattheadultmalelabourersofthe UnitedStatesforinstancewerenotreceivingalivingwage.Andbecause onlyimpossibilitycouldexcusetheemployerfrompayingalivingwage,and becausemillionsofdollarswerebeing garneredinprofits.itfollowsthatthere existedaconditionofsocialinjustice loudlyclamouringforStateinterferenceandcorrection.

But,tocometothepoint,whatisa livingwage?LeoXIII.-anadequate authority-definesit:"Asufficientremunerationtosupportthewage-earnerinreasonableandfrugalcomfort."

Andforthemaleadultworker,accordingtothespiritofthePope'simmortalEncyclical,itisawage"sufficient toenablehimtomaintainhimself,his wife.andhischildreninreasonable comfort."Forthegrownupwoman itisawagebywhichshecanreasonablyanddecentlysupportherselfaway fromhome.Furtherthanthisminimumwagethelabourershouldbeable whenallexpenseshavebeenpaidfor familyandpersonalmaintenance,"to putbysomesmallsavingsandthus secureasmallincome."Becauseboth heandhisfamilymustbeprovided againstthedayofdeath,ofsickness, andofunemployment.

And,beitnotedmostcarefully,the immoralprinciplesjuststigmatised arethestrongestargumentoftheneed ofalegalminimumwage.Itisalso neededtoprotectChristian-mindedemployersintheircompetitionwithcriminalprofiteers.

LordWimborneandtheCoalitionCabinet ASCATHINGINDICTMENT.

ThefollowingisanamplifiedreportofLordWimborne'sspeechinthe LordsontheIrishsituation,inJune last.Theex-Viceroysaidthatinthe presentgraveconditionofnationalde fence,whenunitywasimperative,it wouldnotberighttodoanythingto embarrasstheGovernmentinthepro- secutionofthewar.Itwasonlyin sofarastheIrishquestionwas,asit hadbeenrepeatedlydeclaredtobe,a vitalwarissuethatcommentsandsug- gestionswerejustified.Heintended tomakenoreferencetoanypersonal matter,andhewouldoffernoexplana- tionofthecircumstancesinwhichhisconnectionwiththeGovernmentofIre- landwasterminated.

Amidtheconfusionofevents,one factwhichstoodoutwasthechangein thepersonneloftheIrishExecutive. Thatchangewasnotconfinedtothe officesoftheLordLieutenantandthe ChiefSecretary;itincludedtheLordChancellor,theLordChiefJustice,the CommanderoftheForces,andotherfunctionariesgreatandsmalldownto thepostsofcolonelsandprivatesecre- taries.

KnewNothingofPlot. Asfarascouldbeseen,thesechanges hadremovedfromtheIrishGovern- mentall,ornearlyall,whosympathis- edwithIrishnationality,orwhopro- fessedtheCatholicfaith.Thechange hadbeensosweepinganddramatic thatonemightwellask,"Whatdoesit portend?"

InpartialexplanationtheGovern- menthadallegedthaexistenceofa Germanplot,butitseemedstrange that,inviewofthemeansofob- taininginformationwhichrecently existedinIreland,neitherhe,nor, asfarashewasaware,anymem- beroftheIrishExecutivehadbeen awareoftheexistenceofthatplot untilitwasdiscoveredbytheBrit ishGovernment.

Ofcourse,heknewthattheextreme sectionofSinnFeinerswaswillingto availitselfofGermanoranyotheras- sistancetoachievethattowhichitbe- lieveditselftobeentitledinthereali- sationoftheirnationalaspiration.Ger- many,doubtless,hadagentsinIre- land,andmighthavesupplemented SinnFeinresourceswithmoney;Germansubmarineswerescoutingaround theIrishcoast,andtherewererumours ofattemptsonthepartofGermanyto landarmsandmeninEngland.

HowtoGetIreland'sHelp. Tothatextenthebelievedtherewas aplot,butsuchrumourshadbeenin circulationsincethebeginningofthe war.If,then,thepositioninIreland wasmuchasithadbeensincethewar began,whatwastheBritishpolicy? ThemainpolicywashowtogetIre- land'shelpinthewar.Howdidthey proposetotapIrishman-power,of whichitwassaidtherewassomuch need.Whenhewasinofficehere- peatedlyurgedthedesirabilityofa settlement,notonlyforthesakeof harmonyandreconciliationbetweenthemandtheIrishpeople,butalsoas anessentialpreliminarytonationalser- vice.ButtheinclusionofIrelandin theMan-PowerActshowedhowlittle theopinionofthelateExecutivewas observed.Conscription,sofarasone couldjudge,wasnowseentobea physicalimppssibility.Mensoob- tainedwouldbeworsethanuseless. LandforSoldiers. Anappealwasnotmadefor50,000 volunteers,butitwasdifficulttosee whythatfigurehadbeentaken,becauseitdidnotrepresentanythinglike anequitablecontributionfromIreland tothecommoncause.Thisappealwascoupledwithapromiseoflandfor thosewhocameforward,declaredLordWimborne,but125,000recruitshadal- readyjoinedthecolours.Werethey to frombesubjectedtodifferentconditions thosenowpromised?Andwithregardtotheland,itwasonlyinthe grasslandsofLeinster,andperhaps Roscommon,thatanylandexisted whichwasnothypothecatedtothe peasantry. Besidesmilitaryservice,whatever formittook,whetherbyforceorca- jolery,theyhadbeenledtoexpectthe introductionofaHomeRuleBill.As analternativetohisproposalsHomeRuleandconscriptionweretobein- troducedsimultaneously;theywereto proceedsidebyside,independentbut vaguelyrelated.Thatwasatenable policy-perhapstheonlyonewhichaf- fordedapossiblesolutionofacompli- catedsituation.Itwasadifficultand delicatepolicy,butitwasproclaimed tobeimpartial.Whathasbecomeof thatpolicy?

WhatistheIrishPolicy?

IfthepolicyofHomeRulewasin doubt,itwouldhavebeenmorepru- dentnottohaveraisedconscriptionat all.BythatinjudiciousacttheGov-

ernmenthadgreatlyincreasedtheir difficulty.TheyhadunitedallIreland againstthemselves.

If wouldtheydroppedHomeRulethey betrayIreland,andifthey gaveupconscriptionafterhaving madeitanessentialpartofthe raisingoftheage-limit,theywould goperilouslynearbetrayingEng- land.

Iftheyweretoretracetheirstepsit mustbeinthedirectionofthespirit whichcalledintoexistencetheIrish Convention.Thatbodysucceededin affirmingthatIrelandcouldbeunited, anditcouldonlybeunitedonthe basisofpoliticalandreligiousequality. ThatpolicywasacceptedbytheNationalistsinthemain.Ifithadbeen allowed pealedtoprevailitwouldhaveapto80percent.oftheSinnFeiners.TheconditionofIrelandwas worsethaniteverwas.

Inviewofthesefactstheyhada righttoknowwhattheGovernment policywas,andhowtheyproposedto achieveit.Hecouldonlyconceive thattheymighthavetwopolicies-a policyofconciliation,whichhecertainlyfavoured,orapolicyofcoercion. Buttheymusthavesomepolicy.Yet whateverpolicytheyhad,theymust haveaconsistentpolicy,andcarryit outtotheend,andnothaltbetween thetwo.

BURSTINGTHEBUBBLE.

QuotingthetextofLordWimborne's assertionintheHouseofLordsthat theGovernmenthadremovedfrom theIrishGovernmentnearlyallwho professedsympathywiththecauseof Irishnationalityandmostofthosewho professtheCatholicfaith,andthat neitherhenoranymemberofthelateIrishExecutivewasawareoftheallegedSinnFeinplot,Mr.A.G.Gar- diner,intheLondon"DailyNews," says:-"Toappreciatethesignificanceof LordWimborne'sstatementitisnecessarytorememberthatLordWimborne untilamonthorsoagowasLordLieutenantofIreland.

Dowling'sArrival. RecapitulatingthestoryoftheGovernment'spolicywithregardtoIreland fromthetimeofthesettingupofthe IrishConvention,Mr.Gardinersays:- "OnThursdaythelongandincredible farceissuedinLordCurzon'sannounce. mentthatbothconscriptionandHome Ruleweredead-theHomeRuleActis ontheStatuteBook,butthatbythe. way-andthereasonadvancedbyLord CurzonfornotproceedingwithHome RulewasthatinMaytheWarCabinet becameawareofaSinnFeinplotwith Germany.

AtSt.Mary'sHall,Sale(Vic.),recently,hisLordshipDr,Phelansaid:Warisbeingmadeonusonaccount ofourfaith,andinjusticetoourselves weareboundtoarminself-defence; andincharitytothebigmajorityof ourProtestantfellows-citizens,weare boundtorevealthemotivesunderlyingtheactionsoftheOrange-ProtestantFederation.FromwhatIknowof theoverwhelmingproportionofour non-Catholicneighbours,Iamfirmly convincedthattheywouldnottouch anyorganisationorbodythathadfor itspurposeandmissionthepersecutionoftheCatholicsandthehounding frompublicpositionsofCatholicrepresentatives.(Applause).Andthat isthemissionoftheProtestantFederation.Atthepresentmomenttwoprominentcitizens,oneinBairnsdaleand oneinWarragul,bothAustralians, bothmenofstainlesscharacter,are beingopposedinseekingareturnto theirpositionsonthelocalcouncils solelybecausetheyareCatholics. (Shame!)Nochargeofdisloyaltyis evenhintedat.TheWarragulrepresentativewasconsideredworthyofthe positionlastyearofpresident-in-chief ofthegreatAustralianbody,the A.N.A.Heisanardentconscriptionist,andtookanactivepartinthetwo campaignsforthatobject.WhenpassingthroughWarragulrecentlyIwas toldthatMr.Davine'sopponentssay: "WecannothitDr.Mannixdirectly, butwewillhithimthroughhisfollowers."Andthesamedaggerisbeing usedinBairnsdaletostabMr.Murphy. (Shame!) ThatdaggeristheOrangedagger, which,uptothetimeofCatholic Emancipation,wasusedtomurderand plundertheCatholicsofIreland,and sincethattimehasbeenemployedin drivingthemfromplaceandpower.

Inproofofthefirstpartofthat statement,IshallquoteaNorthof IrelandProtestanthistorian,John Mitcha'uncleofthepresentChiefJusticeofVictoria.Mitcheliswritingof theyear1808,andsays:-"Itiscertainlynotanagreeablepartofourduty tonarrateanddwellupontheOrange outrages. ButthehistoryofIrelandwouldbealmostablankwithout thevillainiesofOrangepersecution, andthecomplicityoftheGovernmentinthosevillainies."Andhereisa sampleoftheatrocitiesrecordedby Mitchel:-"AtMountrath,theannual returnoftheOrangefestivalinJuly, 1808,hadbeendisgracedbythemost atrociousmurderoftheRev.Father Duane,theCatholicpriestofthatparish:and.itwasfollowedupthesucceedingyearbythenolessbarbarous murderofaCatholicofthenameof Kavanagh,intowhosehousethearmedyeomenrushed,andbarbarously fracturedhisskull,inpresenceofhis wifeandfourinfantchildren.Onthe firstdayofthesameJuly,atBailieborough,intheCountyCavan,theOrange armedyeomenwentinabodytothe houseoftheparishpriest,atwhom theyfiredseveralshots,andlefthim fordead.Theythenwreckedthe chapel,andwoundedandinsulted everyCatholictheymet."

CardinalBourneandAnti-PapalCalumnies

CardinalBournerecentlyattendeda meetingoftheWestminsterFederation attheHaverstockHillBranch(London),andgaveanimportantaddress onthePopeandthePress.Inthe courseofhisremarkshisEminence said:-"Ithinkthatthemainwork thattheFederationasawholeandthe individualbrancheshavetodoatthe presentmomentistokeepaneyeon thepublicpress.Thereisawildness ofmisstatementonnearlyeveryCatholicsubjectgoingonatpresentwhichis simplydeplorable.Idonotthinkit isdeliberate;Iascribeitlargelytothe factthat-newspapereditorsareoverworkedthroughreducedstaffs,andthat theydonotallowthemselvessufficient timetoverifytheirstatements.Of course,Catholicsaresuretosuffermore thanotherpeople;firstofallbecause thereismarvellousinterestintheCatholicChurchonthepartofourfellow. countrymen,whethertheyapproveor disapproveofus,andanythingthatreferstotheCatholicChurchisrapidly caughtupandthenewspapersproceed tocommentuponit.Thenthereis undoubtedlyalwaysalatentprejudice againsttheCatholicChurch,sothatan editorknows,ifhehappenstoinsert anythinginhispapertothediscredit oftheHolySee,thatheissuretomeet withasympatheticaudienceinagood manyquartersamonghisreaders.And inmattersconnectedwiththeCatholic Churchwhicharequiteelementaryso farasweareconcerned,thereisadeplorableignorance.Ashorttimeago therewasanevidentattempttogetup aNewNo-Poperyagitation.Itlasted twodays.Therehasbeengoingonin differentpartsofthecountryacampaignofmisrepresentation-first,absolutelyfalsestatementsaboutCatholic matters;secondly,incompletestatementswhichhavecreatedquiteafalse opinion;and,thirdly,therehasbeen materialsuppressionofessentialfacts. Icanonlygiveanexampleofeachof thesemethods,andthenyoucanunderstandtheworkIshouldliketheWestminsterCatholicFederationtodoin dealingwiththegreatcentralLondon press,andwiththelocalpapersbyeach ofitsdistrictbranches,thatthese thingsmaybewatchedandchecked andstopped."HisEminencetheninstancedthestatementmakeinaSundayjournalbyawell-knownwriter, whosaidthatallthemembersofthe SacredCollegeofCardinals,withthe exceptionofCardinalMercier,wereproGerman."That,"saidtheCardinal, "wasadownrightlie-anoutrageous calumny;buttothatverydayno apologyhasbeenmadeforthestatement."Continuing,hisEminencesaid, ''Ishouldliketodwelluponthatsubjectforamomentortwo,becauseIdo notthinkthatthepeopleofthecountryhaveeverrealisedwhattheconditionofthingswasinItalyandinRome atthebeginningofthewar.Thatconditionofthingswasduetotheastute andcarefulpreparationofourenemies, andthewantofcare,thesupinenessof ourownauthorities.IwasinRome attheConclaveinSeptember,1914. EverysinglepaperinItalyatthattime wasunderthecontroloftheGermans, everybusinessorganisationwasunder

Germancontrol;everybusinesscircularthatwassentoutwasfilledwith Germannews.CardinalBourne,in referringtothecriticismwhichhad beenlevelledattheBritishGovernmentforpermittingthePrinceof WalestovisitthePope,dealtwitha statementwhichhadappearedin"John Bull"withregardthereto,especiallyin thereceptionofthePrincebytheBritishEnvoytotheVatican.This,CardinalBournesaid,showedthesupreme ignoranceofthepaperinquestionin notknowingthatthePopewasrecognisedbytheEuropeanPowersasa SovereignState.Thepositionofhis Holinesswasextra-nationalandsupernational,andthespeakerquotedthe LawofGuaranteestoshowthatthe PopeisnotthesubjectoftheKingof ItalyandthathisresidenceinRomeis inviolable.Proceedingtodealwith theCorpusChristiincident,aboutwhich therehadbeensomuchnewspaperdiscussion,CardinalBournesaidthaton thefeastofCorpusChristiin1916a partyofAlliedairmen-notBritishbombedKarlsruheduringtheprocession,and120peoplewerekilledand146 wounded,mostlywomenandchildren. Thatwasafactasfarascouldbeascertained.TheGermansnaturallyput theirowninterpretationonthisaffair. Whathebelievedtobethecauseof thisattackwasthatahospitalhad beenbombedbywayofreprisal,and theFrenchverynaturallybombeda Germantown.Then,ontheSaturday beforeWhitSunday,forthefirsttime, Colognewasbombed.Anotherpoint raisedbythenewspaperswasthatthe PopemadenorequesttotheGermans nottobombtheFrenchontheoccasionofthesamefeast.Thatagain wasuntrue.Thetelegramthatthe HolyFathersentwas:"HisHolinessis persuadedthatallthebelligerentswill havespecialregardtothesolemnities ofthatday."InFrance,CorpusChristi waskept,notonThursday,butonthe Sunday,butthatcircumstancewasnot mentionedintheallusionsthathad beenmade.HisEminencealsoreferredtothefactthatthearrangement forthetransferenceofallsoldiersin captivitysufferingfromillnesstoSwitzerlandwasbroughtaboutbythePope, butthatnomentionofithadbeen madebytheBritishpress,although theBritishGovernment,throughthe BritishMinistertotheVatican,had acknowledgedit.TheCardinalwent ontodealwithasuppressionoffacts bytheItalianGovernmentregarding thePrinceofWales'svisittothePope. Hemightsaythatthevisitwaspaid withthefullresponsibilityoftheBritisGovernmentbehindit,andEnglish andAlliedCatholicswereverymuch gratifiedthereby.ThePopewasprofoundlytouchedbythevisit,andone wouldhavethoughtthatthenews wouldhavebeenspreadbroadcast,but forsomeinexplicablereasontheItalian Censorwouldonlyallowthemostmeagredetailstoappear,andevenrefused aCatholicpaperpermissiontousea largeheadline,somuchsothatforeign correspondentsindignantlysentoneof theirnumberoverthefrontiertoSwitzerland,andthusitwasthatthenews wasconveyedtotheworld.Incon-
