son, the father of the newborn girl:
you unfortunate creature, what
have you done to arouse the anger of
the gods that they should send you
girl instead of boy Would that
your accursed wife had never entered
my home! What shall we do with this
creature, which has suddenly covered
my honorable house with such shame
and disgrace" From all sides sim
liar reproaches are dinned into the
ears of the unlucky man. But in the
zenana it is even worse. Here a per-
feet uproar and the greatest confu-
sion reigns. Every woman in the
house gives free range to her tongue,
pouring forth with heather licentious-
ness all imaginable abusive language
upon the unhappy mother and her
child. (Nowalski de Lilia.) The
proud warrior caste of the Radshpu-
tens celebrate the birth of boy with
music and the distribution of sweets.
1t, however, a girl Is born, the father
declares with an icy mien: Nothing
is born" at which his friends amidst
expressions of sympathy and regret
leave the house. This perception may
be partly explained by the great ex-
penses arising later on to the. family
at, the marriage of the daughter,
partly also, that only a son may rem
der services at the. sacrifice cere-
monies for the deceased father, but
above all, in the belief of the trans
migration of souls. The birth of a
girl is considered a punishment for the
sins of the parents, as also for the
sins committed by the soul of the re-
spective girl, in former life here
upon earth.

'UTOPIA"
OF PUBLICATION OF
FAMOUS WORK BY BLESSED
THOMAS MORE.

This year occurs the fourth centen-
airy of the publication of the most
generally known work of Blessed
Thomas More, the Utopia" Original
ly written in Latin, it was probably
published in January, 1917, and was
not translated till 1851.
1t is one of the ironies of history
that this work, which breathes the
love of peace and of the people,
should have first seen the light in the
city of Louv~ N. A correspondent
having further noted the fact that the
first part of the book was composed
by More in London and the second
in Antwerp, points to the interna-
tional character of the circumstances
of it's production. "The book" he
says, was written in an exultant
age, delightfully."- self-conscious in it's
sense of having left the Wars of the
Roses behind, and yet perfectly alive
to the horrors of social disorder
which followed in the train, first, of
the upheaval of civil war; and, sec
opdly, of the stagnant abuses Gre
ated by the old feudal system of the
Middle Ages. The Utopia in very
real sense is War-product, both in
it's protest against civil wars and
against foreign wars (waged for ex-
tension of territory, though not it
may be noted, against all wars). 1t
is the first appeal to principles which
are essentially those of peaceful in
ternationalism in the Renaissance"
It's associations with Belgium are
of especial interest at a time like the
present, when an effort is being
made to collect books which may
serve as a nucleus for the reconsti-
tuition Of the destroyed library of
Louvain. Concerning these associa-
tons, the correspondent says:
Sir Thomas More learned much
from Belgium. Amongst the men as
sociated with the first edition of the
Utopia are Jerome Buslarden, who
founded the College of the Three
Languages at Louvain; Erasmus,
who undertook it's direction in 1917;
John Paludanus, of Louvain, with
whom Erasmus lived for some time
in that city; Gerardus Noviomagus,
also Of Louvain, who took part in
the editorial work of the Utopia
Lastly, there is the Louvain printer
himself, Thicrry Marten, who at one
time for a month received into his
Louvain house the great Erasmus, i'll
of the plague. Not only did Marten
same year, 1917, he published Eras-
mus 'Bellum, the most incisive of
all Renaissance treatises against
war;"

to the number of his children, he will
perhaps respond to you: ALAS,
have only four foolish girls" But
this is only the modest expression of
the Chinese, who are always anxious
to lower and depreciate everything
pertaining to themselves. The father,
in reality, by his four foolish girls
means his boys, whilst the girls are
not considered at all. Mohammedans
in Syria act in a similar manner.
In consequence of this disregard to-
ward the female sex a girl is consid-
cred an unwelcome gift even at it's
very birth In China the birth of a
girl is regarded as great calamity.
Likewise in the Mohammedan coun-
tries, where the neighbors sympa-
thetically say: 'The grief at the
birth of girl endures until death. F"
But the disappointment reaches it's
height in India. +. At the birth of a
child in the more wealthy families the
relatives and friends are gathered to-
gether with music band to celebrate
the birth of a boy, which is expected
with all certainty and prophesied by
the heather fortune tellers. If the
mother is fortunate enough to give
birth to a son, her condition will be
greatly improved thereby; and this
even to a greater extent in China,
where she, as she advances in age,
enjoys a certain degree of respect at
least on the part of her children. But
SO much worse for the mother in In
dia, should she disappoint the expecta-
tions of her husband. Suddenly
heart-rending lamentations resound
within the zenana (woman's apart
ments) and presently the mother-in-
law, rushing out into the courtyard,
cries in despair: Alas, what a mis-
fortune, girl, girl" Like thun-
derbolt this intelligence strikes the
assemblage; the music and converse
ton cease, all joy and mirth have
disappeared. Soon the courtyard and
verandas are empty, and only a few
intimate friends remain to express
their sympathy to the father at this
great calamity. Now the old chief of
the house furiously calls out to his

CARDINAL GIBBONS RECALLS
STRUGGLE OF LABOR FOR
RECOGNITION OF HOLY SEE
CHURCH HAD BEEN VAINLY
PRE- ED TO NDE M NJ
KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

Writing in the April Dublin Review;
Cardinal Gibbons says: The next
great event in which it pleased AL
mighty God to give me a part was
the triumphant struggle of the Labor
organizations to be recognized as
lawful by the Holy See. Ever since
the Reformation the relations of
Capital and Labor had become more
and more contrary to the principles of
the Gospel. l have said somewhere
else that in the sixteenth century
practically all Englishmen owned
their own homes; and now that sup.
port and buttress is wanting to all
but about one-tenth of the population
And what is true of real property is
equally true of the means of produc-
ton. Machinery had gradually low
cred the workman to the status al
most of slave; and it was believed
in the seventies and eighties of the
last century that the rights of
Capital were so sacred that no aid
could be given to the people in assert
ing their rights without the danger
of bringing about the Red Revolution.
The excess of Capitalists on one
hand had brought about equal ex-
cesses of Socialism on the other
excuses which would be likewise
destructive of human liberty and hui
man happiness. For the Socialist
State is nothing and can be nothing
else than universal slavery, and it is
for this reason that the Church has
strenuously opposed it. She has ever
been the protector of free institu-
tons; and as she changed the abso-
lutte monarchies of the old Roman
Empire, and indeed the later mon
arches of the Middle Ages, as she

A GREAT LABOR CRISIS

changed the Roman Insula generally
with its horde of slaves into the
medieval town, SO now would she
enfranchise the working classes, not
handing them over, bound hand and
foot, into the clutches of uncon-
trolled Capital, and far less sacrific-
ing them to the servile state of the
Socialist.
THESE principles are now taken for
granted. Everybody knows where the
Catholic Church stands But it was
not so in 1880. I had myself just re-
ceived the Cardinals hat when the
question OF the attitude Of the
Church towards the Knights of La
Dor, which was the principal Trades
union Of those times, came up for
decision; and l can never forget the
anxiety and distress of mind of those
days. If the Knights of Labor were
not condemned by the Church, then
the Church ran the risk of combin.
ing against herself every element of
wealth and power; and at a time
when the Pope, having lost his
Temporal Sovereignty, was a prisoner
IN his own palace But if the
Church did not protect the working.
men she would have been false to her
whole history; and this the Church
can never be. My great friend and
colleague, who fought with me shout
der to shoulder for the rights of the
Christian Plebs, has long since gone
to his reward; but | cannot speak of
this subject without recalling the in
domitable courage and perseverance
of Cardinal Manning. This great Car
dlnal shall ever dwell in the hearts
or Englshmen as a companion figure
to that other great ecclesiastic who
fought for the liberty of the people
SO long ago, Cardinal Langton. What
marvellous thing it is to think that
after three hundred years of oppres-
sion the Catholic Church in England
should have been able to give to the
English people so soon after the re-
storation of her Hierarchy such a
striking reminder of her glorious past.
