CATHOLICS ARE PLEASED AT PLAN
 FOR WAR DRIVE.
Commend Return to One Drive for All War Activi-
 ties and Welfare Work

Following the announcement of a return to the original plan for one common drive for all the war welfare organizations in the country Bishop Peter J. Muldoon, Bishop Joseph Schrembs, Bishop Patrick J. Hayes and Bishop William T.. Russell, com posing the Administrative Commit tee of the National Catholic War Council, issued to-day the following statement:
 "The announcement of the return to the original plan of one common drive for war work funds for all the relat- ed war activities is heartily welcom- ed by the National Catholic War Council. We have from the begin ming hoped for a common drive be- cause it enables us all to stand on the common platform of American citizenship and brings out clearly that the aim of all these organizations is one and the same, recreational aid to the men in the service.
 Questions of religious differences have no place in such a service which should be extended to all soldiers and sailors without regard to creed or color; nor in drive for funds to which all citizens of any and every de- nomination contribute. The harmo- nious action in support of the Govern ment fer recreation work for our sol diers, which the common drive sym bolizes, deserves and has ever receiv- ed our heartiest cooperation.
 Tt offers an unequalled opportun- ity for all American citizens to work together in the common cause now so urgent and so dear to us. Every act of ours has been directed towards building up this patriotic cooperation the attainment of which is even more important than financial success.
 All of the organizations concerned have come to an anicable agreement as to budgets and distribution with the approval of the Government. Thus happily united in single-hearted devo- ton to our country, one common ap- peal will reach from one end of America to the other and find a re- sponse in every true American heart.
 That the President, the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Navy, the Chairman of the Commissions on Training Camp Activities, have brought about this broad union of all welfare war workers without division or discrimination, only confirms the | great respect which we have held for their wide vision and broadninded- ness. The National Catholic War Council which includes every varie- 1 ty of war work done by Catholics, was organized that it might offer the en- | tire services of the Catholic body in cooperation with all other citizens to the support of the Government in the | winning of the war. In this com mon drive for war funds we will fol- 1 low the lead of the Government with unqualified approval and enthusiasm. and we take this earliest possible op- portunity to urge the into bring to the | notice of our Catholic people the common drive and to urge them to 1 support in the most whole-hearted 1 manner his great union drive"
