Unexpected Opposition
Puts Measure Over
Until Next Week
Passage Is Expected
With Notifications
One Amendment Accepted T;
Senator Hardwick, Demo-
crat, Flatly Opposes 1t

WASHINGTON, March Q Unex-
pected opposition to the Administration
measure to establish war finance cor
poration arose to-day in the Senate,
thwarting leaders plans for its passage
tonight and forcing the bill over until
next week.
Final enactment of the measure, pos
sibly with material modification, was
not believed by leaders to be endan-
eered. The opposition developed rap
idly, and centred chiefly on the pro-
posal for licensing by capital issues
committee" of security issues of $780,
600 and more.
virtually no progress was made on
the bill to-day. Only one minor amend
ment was disposed of, and that-ex-
tending the provision for direct loans
was accepted by Senator Simmons of
North Carolina, in charge of the bill,
when members of the Banking Com
mlttee and others insisted that farmers
and small business men, as we'll as cap
ltalistS and large corporations, should
be allowed to receive direct advances
from the corporation.
Opposed by Democrat
Senator Hardwick, of Georgia. Dem
ocrat, to-day came out in open and Wig
orous opposition to the legislation. He
declared it was unnecessary. and would
confer enormous powers over American
industry to few men in charge of the
proposed corporation. The measure,
he asserted. would create machinery
similar to the Aldrich- Vreeland cen
trail bank" plan, but with vastly more
arbitrary power
Although several Senators had indi-
Gated opposition to the bill but had
agreed to support it as war measure,
Senator Hardwick's was the first ad-
dress IN flat opposition. Disapproval
OF the securities licensing plan was
expressed by some Senators, who be-
iieve the present voluntary committee.
cooperating with the Treasury Depart
ment, would answer the purpose. while
Senator Smith, Of Michigan, Repub
llcan, opposed comforting upon the
Secretary of the Treasury the enor-
nous powers which, he said, the bill
authorized. He suggested that the
fcderal Reserve act be amended so as
TO place these powers in the hands of
the twelve Reserve banks.
senator Simmons stanchly defended
the measure and declared that the

quately cope with financing needs of

making of war and police under the

Lincoln Protested Going to Theater
on Good Friday.
(From America.)

To the Editor, of America:
Since there has been some malig.
nant destinations upon Lincoln's atti.
tude to Catholics, and a recent issue
Of America" has fttingly reprehende ed
them, surely the repetition of an In
cident of tinooln's last Good Friday
will be welcomed to your readers, even
though the relation of the incident
may be found in, theti "Ave Maria" of
February a.. aLincoln's phrase, "many
of our best people, is doubtless ref.
erence, to his Catholic ,fellow-citizens.
This bit Of history IS given by Major
J. B. Merwin. of Middlefield, Conn.,,
and he confirmed the story for the -edi-
tor of the cave Maria" il, these words:
II knew Lincoln from 1852 on to the
day of his assassination. On that day
l dined with him. After the Cabinet
meeting, Lincoln locked the doors and
ordered our dinner brought up. We
ate dinner, and he read over the paper
he had written on using the colored
troops for digging the Panama Canal.
One door was not locked. Mrs. Lincoln
came in and said: Abe, the Ford's
Theater people have rendered us box
for this eve, and have accepted it.
The Grants are going with us, and
do not want you to make any other
engagement Mr.. Lincoln said in his
pathetic, pleading, plaintive way:
why, Mary, 1 don't think we ought
to go to the theater tonight. You know
it is Good Friday a sacred day to
many of our best people, She replied
that she did not know or think of that,
and added: 4 have accepted the invi-
tation, and the Grants are going with
us. It will be announced in the eve
ming papers, Then the good man spoke
up again, more pleading and plaintive:
I do not think we ought to go to the
theater tonight; Good Friday is re-
ligious day with great many of our
best people, She replied: we are
going, and I want you to dismiss this
man and make no other engagement :"
This touching protest of the great
man against a bit of social conduct
which might offend his Catholic fell
low-citizens deserves place among

others like it all along the pathways
of his notable life, from his early

gested for every diocese to assist local
authorities in preserving decent camp
environments, caring for soldiers on
furlough and providing amusements
for them within the camps.
AT separate meeting the Archbish-
ops deplored the failure of some of
the state legislatures in passing prohi-
bition laws to exempt the expectation
and use of wine for sacramental pur-
poses. The Archbishops said that one
of the results Of this failure has been
to place the Catholic Church in the
seeming attitude of hostility to the

the BLESSED
MOTHER OF GOD
This Sublime Title Embraces All Her
Other Prerogatives and Attributes.

(By Rev. Gerald McMinn, o. F. N.Y.
Of all the titles which the faith and
love of Mary's children of all times
have bestowed upon our Heavenly
Queen, the highest, the greatest, the
most dear to Her Immaculate Heart,
the one appellation which embraces
all her other grand prerogatives is
the sublime title of Mother of God"
"In this privileged title," says St.
Bernadine of Sienna, 1--WE discover the
origin and source of all the Others
When we address Mary as the Mother
of our Lord we honor and praise her
as did the Angel Gabriel on that
eventful Lady's Day over nineteen
hundred years ago, as did her saint
ly cousin Elizabeth, the mother of st.
John the Baptist; as did the tender
Babe Of Bethlehem, when reclining in
her maternal embrace. His infant lips
for the first time formed and breathed
that name, so dear to all maternal
ears-the sweet, all-embracing name
of "Mother!"
Mother!-Next to the sacred name
Of God the sweetest word to be found
In the vocabulary of any human Ian.
guage; that consecrated name which
our very hearts begin to pulsate be-
fore our lips can articulate a sound !;
that name whose memory follows us
through all the changing phases of
life's eddying stream, lingering in our
hearts like the setting rays of a per-
feet summers day. 3.
And it is by this title that God, the
Creator Of heaven and earth, God the
Eternal, the Infinite, the All-Wise;
God, in comparison with whom man
is as nothing, deigns to address one
of His creatures. Can this be possible
we wonderingly exclaim? Yes, it is
not only possible, but it is actually
true. Mary was creature, it is true;
but we must remember that from all
eternity she was destined to become
the Mother of Him Who is in the
heavens and from all eternity is the
Fathers only Son; and it is for this
reason that Mary alone amidst all
creation, stands solitary in her gran
deur; unapproachable in the order of
grace and not to be judged by the
standards whereby we are accustomed
to Judge other creatures. Others have
enjoyed privileges which entitle them
to our respect and veneration, but
with none of these must Mary be COM
pared.
Isaias was Gods chosen prophet to
the people of the Old Dispensation;
st. Peter and his companions, togeth-
er with their successors, are the chos-
en- Apostles of Jesus Christ; Mary
Magdalen was His sorrowing peni-
tent; all true believers are His chos-
en- disciples; in the glory of the heav-
emily mansions fit to and fro Gods
own Angels.
To all these-prophet, apostle. peni-
tent, disciple, angel-has God shown
some special mark of His prediction.
But this mark Of His goodness. this
great grace He has vouc6safed to ex-
tend to them, is one that has been be-
slowed and divided among many.
Apart and alone and above them all
there stands one-Mary, the Lily Of
