In the Realm of
Justice and Right

The PoIitico.oipIomatte Importance Of
The Papacy-Exemplar Of lnterna-
ttonal Court Given by Rome-Popes
the Arbiters Of Nations During the
Middle Ages-Tribunai Set Up BY
League Of Nations Would Have the
Example Of the Pope's to Follow.
Men Of learning, lovers of peace,
have long been seeking to create an
institution which would be superior
to the sovereign States, not so much
in political power or authority as in
the realm of justice and right. If two
quarreling individuals we have been
told time and time again, must be con-
tent to lay their cause before court
whose judgment they are bound to
accept, two Nations, two States should
also find it possible to submit their
controversies to some tribunal. We
have long been familiar with such ar
guments and with efforts. directed to-
wards creating an institution which
would embody the wishes of those
earnestly seeking after relief from the
evil they strive to overcome; such
wishes have been expressed long be-
fore the World War. Whether we
designate the institution aimed at an
International Court. an International
Court of Arbitration, Court of Ma
tions or a League of Nations Court
is of no consequences; the important
consideration is the basic idea, and
all friends of peace are of one mind
concerning that.
The Popes as Arbiters.
What is now being attempted, what
now looms up like Fata Morgana
deceivingly near at hand has been
realized centuries ago: the nations of
occidental Europe had such. an insti-
tuition in the Middle Ages in the Pap
acy. And If at present really effec-
tive International court is being
spoken of as the greatest and loftiest
and most beneficent social institution,
then these same characterizations ap-
ply with equal force to the laborY of
the Papacy in the interest Of peace
and the well-being Of the nations.

Christmas day in the year 800 crowned

Plain People Of England Are Ashamed
Of Attempts to Crush Republic Ar
ticie In Labor Paper Shows.

A recent issue of the London Daily
Herald proves that the plain people
of England are ashamed of the brutal
treatment of Ireland, under British
rule. One of the questions asked in
the British House of Commons also
bears out this fact The Attorney
General was asked whether his at
tention had been called to the fact
that hand grenades have been served
out to Irish policemen, who are being
instructed how to use them against
unarmed crowds
An article in a recent issue Of the
London Daily Herald, entitled
."F'rench's Tragic Irish Failure" comes
from that papers special correspond
ent in Dublin and declares that "bri-
berry and terror" are the sole policy of
Lord French in Ireland. The article
states:
ireland is on the brink. While
there is still time it is essential that
the desperate condition of affairs
should be made known in England.
Lord French and his chief secre-
tary, Mr.. Ian Macpherson (the gentle.
man who acted as apologist for the
broken promises of the War office
during the latter part Of the War;,
have long since lost all control Of
the Irish population. 1t is charitable
to believe that they have lost con-
troll over their STATS. They have GER
tainly lost all self-control.
Take Last semblance Of Freedom.
1T is the bare fact that from now
onward even the semblance of free.
dom is to be taken from the Irish
people. Habeas corpus disappeared
long ago, owing to the operations of
defense of the realm act. Now comes
the well.informed report that trial by
Jury is to be suppressed.

The feverish, riotous life that is

a great chance for the motion pic

The Message of
Father Ma6ennis

Privilege to Be in the Fight.
1t has been my privilege to have
been in the turmoil of fight for the
land of my birth. 1t is my privilege
to possess the love that is gifted to
one who has striven to do his best in
holy cause. Hence what wonder
If at this New Years time the mind
travels back to friends and places sa-
cred to the memories of the days that
were and alas! shall never be again.
Who dares blame me If l wish the old
warriors new life, If pray that the
present soldiers may gain new vigor
in the coming years? If must needs
stand aside who will blame me II l
raise my heart to the God Of battles
and pray his tenderest care on those
who still stand where once stood,
who are better able to do and dare
than ever I was? If from the quiet
cell of the monk, a few feeble words
go forth borne on the wings Of love.
what true friend of the cause will
shut his ears to the feeble sounds or
mock their feeble echoes? Times
would be changed, hearts would be
changed, aye, and even the cause It,
self should be changed II the men and
women whom have known in the past
do not listen for few moments and
weigh the words, at least, for the love
Of him who utters them.
There is no place in the world where
one can see such an objective lesson in
the power of unity as in the city Of
Rome. Here are the headquarters Of
the one church. Against this church
are hurled all the powers Of earth and
hell. Princes conspire against it..
kings plot against it, emperors issue
edicts against it, and ali this has been
going on for centuries. Serene and

ical offenses. A fine testimony, truly,
to Mr.. Macpherson's regime!
Much is made OF the deplorable
attacks-happily very few in number
which have been made on the lives
of policemen and soldiers. But there
is an extraordinary silence as to the
provocation under which these at

potism that is being maintained IN
Ireland.

demand for the most expensive cuts

Although the price of hogs in Chicago
fell off so per cent, there was no de-
crease in the retail price obtained for
hogs in New England because Of the

there was a tremendous demand for 81

BY Very Rev. Peter e. Magennis.
Superior General of the Carmelite Or.
der and President of the Friends
of Irish Freedom.
Rome, January 1, 1920.-At festive
times the mind wanders back to old
times and to old places as If in search
of friends that we're truest and places
that were dearest. Friends of the
present need not blame US, places that
are now ours need not grow jealous
for, all considered, it may be only an
instinct. The New Year is not only a
time for festive rejoicings but it bids
us think Of periods past and periods
to begin, Of an old life, past life, and
a new life, life that is beginning.
Those with whom we have battled in
the past; those at whose side we have
stood at critical times; those whose
battle is our battle, at such times as
this we wish them new force, new
courage. as it were, q new life.
Few causes have begotten more fer
vent friendships than the cause Of Ire
land. Because the material success
Of the cause has been, thus far, by no
means encouraging, the good God
seems to have lavished on the spiritual
side q far more than counterbalancing
compensation. Men and women who
have fought, honestly and straightfor-
wardly, in the sacred cause of Ireland
have been blessed with great big en-.
during love for all who have loved
as they dared. This love 10, indeed,
sacred and spiritual.
