New York, July REV. Father
Ducey is authority for the state

a decree absolving poor people and

ru1nor that such decree was in ex-
sstence has been in circulation for
,ome time. and Father Ducey says
ihe document will be forwarded to
the bishops of the United States, and
has been promulgated IN the west.
Speaking of the decree Father Ducey
said:

country have felt for years that the
burden of denial placed on the con-
science of the struggling and work

almost martyrdom- L have not seen

months ago, from a most trustworthy
Roman Catholic correspondent. 1t has
seemed to me for years that legislation
IN favor of Gods hard working poor
was most necessary. What hard
chip TO ask of men and women whose
fare is always meagre, doubtful, and
that are certainly practicing denial
that robs them of their strength and
units them for the proper discharge
of their duties and labor. when the
