scraps of paper, and we condemned We saw them trample under foot every canon of international law and we voiced our disapproval We saw others guarantee self lf-determination and independence to subject nations; but these guarantees were fulfilled only when the subject race was under the yoke of an enemy power. Justice was what we had looked forward to: yet the petitions and appeals of a race that has grovelled in abject misery and groaned beneath a tyrant's lash for centuries have been let go un- needed Again we censured the moral code which could allow such incon- sistencies; yet our own America is not without blemish.
 What Is characterization?
 ''If to Americanize the foreigner means to educate him in schools from which we have excluded religion, let there be no Americanization. We profess great zeal for the mental ele- vation of these people and we evince equally great contempt for their spir- ltual welfare. If to Amercanize means to introduce the foreigner into the divorce court, which has de- stroyed more homes and more fami- lies than any radical organization can possibly destroy, then, in Gods name, let there be no Am ericanization. If to Americanize means to make the foreigner familiar with the various methods of birth control, so that he may not be burdened with a large family, let there be no -Americaniza- tlon. Finally, if to Americanize means to teach the foreigner that the obli- gatlon of Sunday worship is purely arbitrary, let there be no American 1zatlon. We already have an over abundance of empty churches; let not the number be greater. America is a land in whose schools there is no re- ltglon; whose tribunals have set aside the Divine command: What God has joined together let no man put asunder," and she mum mbers among her citizens over sixty millions who attend no church, who profess no creed.
 Relief Is in Church.
 My dear brethren, in mans turn ing from God the explanation of un- rest is to be found The best Amer jeans are they who have and practice a religion, whatever it may be. and among them the good Catholic stands foremost We seldom hear this stated, but it is a positive face And that institution which has done more than any other to make better citizens, which is the greatest con- servative force in America today, is the Catholic Church, and few there are who acknowledge this fact To- day, as in centuries past, in our own country, as in every other, she stays the hand of the reckless and teaches respect for authority. She looks for no praise, she expects no commenda- ton; but when men rack their brains and journey to far-off lands to seek the explanation of everything evil, she points out to them the source of ,ail trouble. You Catholic men and women should know this; you should be able to answer 1ntelligently these questions which seemingly have baf- . fled all those who have sought their 1 solution. Tell them that without God l everything is impossible; that there is need in America today, not of Ameri- caniZation, but of religion; that we
