"QUADRAGESIMO ANNO." The recent E ncyclical of our Holy Father, Pius the Elevent.h, on lab::n' conditions, was as timely as it was apt. It UI)holds a conviction that has been growing ' m ('at holies all over the world for a long time,-namely, that our present Pontiff-with all due resllect to his predecessors-is by far, the most scholarly man who has held the keys of Peter in recent years. In the manner of that other -great advocate of the cause of labor, Leo the Thirteent h, he I)Ortrays with a striking vividness the retmgJ'ession to an almost medieval feudai system that is practically inevitable if y,-e continue to tread our IHesent economic paths. The Holy Father str esses particularly the need for jus.ice in social and industrial relationships. This is not a IICW n(Jte. in Papal Letters; in fact, it is merely an e1aburatIOn :md development of the theme of Leo the Thirt.eenth. Leo defined the "just wap,·e" in the light of Christian teaching as that return from labor which is 8utficienj 10 keep the laborer a nd his family in decent comfort. In t.he late Encyclical "Quadragesimo Anno" it is fn r the r dcvelolled. Fathers of families must receive enoug-h cOl1ltJensation to do a,,-ay with all necessity for " -j,,es and children to engage in public labor, says the Vica r of Christ. Modern critics who smile indulg-ently at this pl'OnOUIlcel;lent, \\"ill if they read further in the Papal letter come anos!> a statement that should cause their smiles to vanish. The Holy Father says : " .. . _ Social justice demands that reforms be imm ediately introduced that will ;rnarantee eyery adult workman just such a ,,-a ge." HerE' indeed. are words of startling significance. Im plicit in them is the I,eynote of an entirely new industrial sYStem. \"ith a ne\\- social justice as its basis.
