History Propaganda.

The faulty of nations in resting
their destiny upon solely material as
sets is apparent to him who views,
the wrecks of empires strewn along
the path of the conquerors. The Irish
nation is yet a living nation because
during the long, dark centuries of sub
version it learned to distinguish be-
tween what is transitory and what is
immutable.
No military might has yet succeeded
in silencing the feelings and opinions
of the Irish nation. For the nation"
of Ireland is scattered throughout the
wide earth, and its influence is ex-
erted wherever democracy finds ex.
preston in popular institutions.
With loftiness of principle and a
sureness Of instinct without parallel
in human annals the Irish clung to
their religion. Their attachment to
eternal principles of nationality may
be clearly traced to their passionate
fidelity to Catholicism. For, during
the prosecutions of generations over
whelmed in material defeat, in the
shrine of the national religion were
sheltered all those imperishable spirit
ual dreams upon which the very con-
stitution of ultimate victory was
nourished through the years Of famine
and the centuries Of barrenness.
1t was the church which carried
along the memory of the martyrs who
suffered for the faith, of the armies
marshalled in defense Of religion and
of the deeds wrought by a devoted
people in defense OF political rights
violated by denial Of religious free
dom.
Thus, alone of all nations and races
in the world, the religion of Ireland
has thus far in it's keeping the his

the venerable servant of God, Oliver

Due regard being had of the nature

great and extraordinary utility to the
people, as the Roman Pontiffs freely

Hence it is that all the faithful
throughout Ireland cannot prepare for
the celebration of the coming solemn

James A. Farrell, President of the
United States Steel Corporation,
Becomes Director Of Operations
Of U. S. Shipping Board.

When James A. Farrell, President
of the United States Steel Corpora
tion, was selected for the position of
Director of Operations of the shipping
board, the steel industry felt a man
had been chosen who is eminently
fitted to handle a job involving a
knowledge of shipping. Through his
development of the foreign trade of
the Steel Corporation he has acquired
information and experience which will
be of great benefit in increasing the
Governments capacity for transport
ing men and supplies to the European
war front.
Born in 1868.
Born at New Haven, on February
is, 1868, Mr.. Farrell started his steel
career in a wire mill while he was
yet in his teens. While his work in
the shops was considered satisfactory
he gained an early reputation as a
salesman with the Pittsburgh Wire
Company. Soon after this concern
was taken over by the American
Steel and Wire Company, Mr.. Farrell
was made general sales manager. He
filled this position with such success
that when the company decided to en-
ter the foreign field he was offered
and accepted the post of foreign
sales agent.
When the Steel Corporation alb
sorbed the American Steel and Wire
Company he continued in the same
capacity, and finally upon the organi
zation of the United States Stee
Products Company he was made its
head, from which position he jumped
to the presidency Of the Steel Cor
poration.

A good attendance at the fifteenth
annual meeting of the Catholic Educa-
tional Association which will be held
in San Francisco on July 1925 is now
assured by the announcement that the
Government has authorized the rail-
roads to grant the usual summer tour
ist round trip rates from all points
East to the Pacific Coast. This rate
will be good from June Goth to Oct.
31st, and will carry stop-over prtvi-
leges at all important points. The
rate will be only moderate advance
over that prevailing in other years.
The round trip rate from Chicago via
direct lines will be about $87, plus war
tax and incidentals, and the rate from
other points will be proportfonate.
From inquiries received at the Office
of the Association, the attendance will
probably be much larger than was an
ticipated. The members who expect
to take the trip are advised to consult
local ticket agents at once, and these
agents will give them complete infor-
nation on all details. Many of the
Bishops of the country have signified
their intention of sending official rep
resentatfves to the meeting, and sev-
eral special conferences Of representa-
tives of the Provincials and Religious
Communities of Women will be held
under the direction of Archbishop
Hanna.
The Catholic people of San Fran
cisco, who have done SO much for
Catholic education, are determined,
under the leadership of Archbishop
Hanna, to make the fifteenth annual
meeting of the Catholic Educational
Association a notable success. A pro-
gram of unusual merit has been ar
ranged, and the exercises will con-
clude with a grand public meeting in
the large City Auditorium which has
capacity of seating ten thousand peo-
pie. The meeting will pay tribute to
the splendid patriotism and loyalty
shown by the large number of boys of
our Catholic colleges and parish
schools who are now in the military
service.

tory of the race.
In the cradle land this is still
truth evident in the events occurring
before our eyes. But in the lands be.
yond the seas, which hold the ma
jOrity of the race, this is no longer
wholly a fact. While in every land
where our people are numerous the
sentiments of Irish patriotism are
shared by multitudes of the ministers
of our religion, yet the church is no
longer the only vehicle for the pro-
pagation of Irish principles of pa
triotism nor of the truths of Irish
history.
The Locked Door.
With the church was once deposited
all the art, the science, the literature
and the history of our race. Its altars
were not only the sanctuaries of a
nations soul, but its edifices held the
few remaining legacies of our ancient
literature and it's schools nurtured
knowledge of a national power which
had passed away and kept alive the
hope of greater glory which was to
come.
Can the church do in modern times,
in the lands beyond the sea, what it
did in Ireland for so many centuries ?
Are modern conditions of life favor
able for the education OF our children
in Irish history? Are the means avail
able for dissemination of such senti-
ments and such truths as are impera,
tive if our children are to be proud,
and not ashamed, of their origin?
We think that all three questions
can be answered atlirmatively
Through the parochial schools the
church can teach Irish history. Mod.

With view to encouraging the
Irish agriculturist, by bringing home
to him the part he is playing, and can
still further play, in food production,
and with the object of making better
known in Great Britain the place Ire.
land is taking as supplier of food for
the British population and the Allied
armies, the Department of Agriculture
and Technical Instruction for Ireland
have issued a statement which gives
some remarkable facts and figures.
Ireland's production of food, includ-
ing especially her supply of food to
Great Britain, has for several years
past, the statement says, been growing
until the supply from Ireland has be-
come the most important in point of
quantity, character and proximity, ar
irving in Great Britain from any coun-
try in the world. Since the war that
supply has been fully maintained. By
1913 Ireland's supply to Great Britain
had reached point where it was only
exceeded by that of one other country
in the world, the United States. Since
the war the supply coming from the
United States has abnormally in
creased, and the Irish supply, though
not in this proportion, has gone on
increasing.
In 1912 Argentina held first place as
regards values of food and drink
stuffs imported into and retained for
consumption in Great Britain, her fig
ures being 35,O0O.O00 to 10000, 900
pounds each of Ireland and the United
States, but whereas the figures re-
mained at $1,000, 900 for Argentina in
1913, those for Ireland and the United
States in that year were $4,000 900 and
39, 900, 900 respectively. In 1914 the
United States total was 42,000,000.
with 1reland's 100000 and Argen-
tinas 27,OOO,OO0; in 1915 the United
States figures had jumped to $4,000, 900,
and Ireland's and Argentina's to 49,,
OOe, 900 each, with Canada now fourth
with 27,00O, 600; while in 1916 the re-.

ing the five years (inclusive), New
Zealand had doubled her figures from
5000, 900 in 1912 to 1S,OOO,000 in 1916.
The values for 1917 are not avail
able.

densed milk and forage) it is shown
that only in pig products, dairy prod
ucts and poultry is there a decrease,
and all those are directly affected by
the reduction of the import into Ire
land of feeding stuffs from abroad.
Yet, Notwithstanding the reduction of
imported feeding stuffs, Ireland has
supplied quantities of oats to the army
and for oatmeal and seed purposes in
Great Britain. Indeed, the increase in
forage expectation to Great Britain
from 1928 to 1867 inclusive was
no less than so per cent.
To meet the new position of the
food supply in 1917 the Department of
Agriculture and Technical instruction
for Ireland, following the appeal of
the Prime Minister and the Food Con.
troller, asked the Irish agriculturists
to put forth special effort Of war
food production by breaking up an
extensive new area of land. The re-
sponse of the farmers was spontane.
GUS, and within the space Of three
months a total new area of $4,000
acres was broken up and put under
food crops. A new food production
campaign has been opened in 1918, and
it is the estimate of the Department
that the extra war food production of
1917 will be far exceeded. In conclu.
sion, the statement points out that

The feeling produced in Ireland bv

is reflected in the Sim Fein victory in
the Parliamentary election in East
Cavan. When the contest opened
there was every likelihood of the Ma.

Now the impregnable Ulster barrier is
