Cardinal Issues
Plea for Negroes
More Funds Needed to Carry on
Mission Work Among Negroes and
Indians. Says Cardinal Gibbons.

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 2S-Cardinal
Gibbons has issued strong appeal
for Catholic Negro and Indian Mis-
slons. The appeal is issued on behalf
OF the Catholic Board Of Negro and
Indian Missions, Of which he, Cardi-
nal Farley, of New York and Arch
bishop Prendergast, Of PHILADELPHIA,
are members.
The appeal follows in part: "In maxi
iAg to you our appeal this year we call
your attention to several important
points First, that the work Of evan
gelizing the Negro and the Indian,
owing to your past generosity, is
growing; that there are now engaged
in it greater number of workers,
and that more work is being accom-
pllsheu. The body Of secular priests
and the number OF religious workers
Eamong the Negroes are greater than
ever before. Secondly. that with the
increase Of the workers and the work
there is necessity for means to carry
on the work.
Again, there arc now in our midst

standard Of statemdanship and regard

The designation of Justice Pitney
is all the more welcome because it

his undesirable record on the "iin
