Cardinal Logue said tonight that he
hoped 70 visit President Roosevelt in
Washington. In an interview Cardinal
Logue, speaking OF the divorce ques-
ton, said;
TALKS ON DIVORCE
Z have watched and studied the d.
vorce problem here with a good deal
Of interest and the time has come for
all religious bodies TO unite upon this
subject II has been a great pleasure
TO me to note that the ministers OF ali
sects are united IN preaching against

igion. The welfare Of the state de-
Tnands that something should be done
In this country to check the evil

means the degradation OF the race
The reason for this is very evident, the
welfare OF the family being the founda-
tion OF the race.

number OF times by your president It
appears that the families here are not
as large as they should be. There is
no excuse for this, for this is not a
poor country. This matter OF small
families is directly opposed to the wei
fare and glory Of your country
APPROVES PRESIDENT
Your president has said these
things and Is popular among US In Ire
land and IN other countries for that
reason He does not confine himself
70 politics. but attends to the moral
matters OF the nation. He is man OF
good, sterling, honest principles"
Cardinal Logue declared that social
ism was making great advances in
England and that he believed socialism
could be remedied by Christianity in
relieving the poor. The cardinal said
4 know that there are systems en-
ployed n some OF the great factories
and manufacturing centers OF Europe
which. conducted by the rich owners
and manufacturers. make for the well
fare Of employees through education
and other means. That is Christian
socialism. Il can be done without in
terfering with the material advantages
OF the employees.
But there is another kind Of So
cialism and that kind is against re-
Hgion. When IL comes in all other So
cialism goes out I really think that
there are some men with great wealth
who are trying TO do their best with 1t"
