NATHAN OPPOSED
BY HOLY NAME.
Hudson Federation Protests
Against Italian Kings Choice
for Exposition Delegate.

Especial to the Evening Start
JERSEY CITY, May 9.-The Hud-
son County Federation of the Holy
Name Society, has adopted resolu
tons protesting against the designa-
ton by King Victor Emmanuel, Oh
Italy, of Ernesto Nathan as the rep
renestative of the Italian government
at the Panama-Pacific Exposition.
The protest is made on the ground
tnat Nathan, in his public and private
life, has given evidence of hatred and
'tbigotry toward all things Catholic.
The resolutions are as follows:
Whereas. The Panama Pacific
Universal Exposition, now under way
has for it's purpose the celebration
of the completion of the Panama
Canal. as a. monument to the hu-
manitarian forces of the world,
which, combined with those of the
United states, have accomplished
what q few decades ago was q practi-
cal impossibility.
Whereas, Tt is pre- eminently
proper that the official festivities cell
ehrating the opening of the canal be
so planned that all nations and peo-
pies may participate and display
ahereat their choicest products to
demonstrate. the moral, mental and
material condition of the world in
59l5-400 years after the discovery of
The Pacific ocean by Balboa.
Whereas, Congress. with the APP
Joroval of the President of the United
states, selected a universal EXPOSE
ton at San Francisco, as the best
J medium for accomplishing these pur-
: poses, so that the Panama canal and
the Panama Pacific Universal Expo
| Eition are linked together. the for
mer as tangible and a lasting mon
:. unent, the latter as a meeting place
GTrl, l. e > l,
change thought, form connections for
F, trade development and compete in
friendly rivalry for the highest hon
ors in commercial industrial and ed
Ucational achievement.
Whereas. the people of the earth
look upon the dividing of the land by
the Panama canal TO be a closer
uniting of the world.
Whereas. in the discovery, e1-
floration and DEVELOPMENT of these
United States, Catholics have largely
participated, and arc, as ever, In
. terested in peaceful trade develop
lnent and the commercial. industrial
and educational achievement, partic-
lllarly of this nation.
Whereas, any action unfriendly on
the part of another nation toward the
Catholics of the United States, az
well as of the rest Of the world, may
tend to detract from the genera
worlds good to be desired and had
from such an immense undertaking.
Z rs The Panama Pacific Universal Eg-
position promises to be,
Whereas, His Majesty, King En-
manuel of Italy, has designated as
the Italian representative to the Pan
Rnla-P Pacific Universal Exposition,
Erncsto n lthan, who has in his pub
lie and private life earped the con-
domination OF the Catholics of tlle
world by The outward display of his
hatred for all things Catholic and
christian,
Whereas said Ernesto Nathan's
presence atthis forthcoming exposi-
I tion, representing a Catholic nation,
8 fiust be distasteful, not only to the
lCatholics of Italy and the United
SStates, but TO all the christians of the
yorld, because of his prolonged athe-
fat cal and blasphemous utterancea
ems actions in the past therefore be it
resolved, BY the Hudson County
FeJera ton Of the Holy Name Society.
IL regular meeting assembled, and
representing thirty thousand Catholic
men. that an expression of protest be
for warded to his majesty. King
Eninuel of Italy. and to the American
commissioners of the Panama Pacific
Universal Exposition. resenting the
seeming insult to the Catholics of the
world, and particularly Catholics of
1tc V and the United states, IN the
comforting of such an honor upon a
man such as Ernesto Nathan has
proven to De in his public career by
his continued display of absolute big
otry and hatred for all Christian
ideals; and be 1t
Resolved, That we earnestly plead
! for the withdrawal of Nathans name
as the representative Of the italian
nation, urging such action upon his
majesty, King Emmanuel to the end
that harmony and good feeling may
be the keynote for the ultimate Sue
cess of the exposition and the con-
tiuued commercial and industrial de-
E velopment of the world; and be it
further
Resolved, That copies of these res
s olutions be forwarded to his majesty.
\ King Emmanuel of Italy, to the Presi-
dent of these United States. Hon.
Z Woodrow Wilson. and to the Ameri-
can commissioners of the Panama
Pacific Universal Exposition.
