FEARS FOR AUSTRIA
II CATHOLIC PARTY RESIGNS
CHAOS MAY ENSUE

Resignation of the present Austrian
government formed by Catholics,
should it result from the present crisis,
would be the signal for complete dis
organization and train of extraordi-
nary events that would effect all Gen.
trail Europe.
The Catholics of Austria find them
selves in difficult position, which
may be made even more difficult by
developments now in progress. The
Catholics are the strongest party in
Parliament, but with their eighty-two
mandates they nevertheless lack ma
jority in the legislature. Notwith-
standing that, they have been called
to govern, not only because they were
victorious in the last election, but also
because the other two parties in Par
liament-the Socialists and the Ger
man Nationalists-are incapable of
erecting a united government.

Needed Americanization

McSweeney, of Boston, former his

American History Misrepresented.
There is great general conspir:
acy among historians to obscure the
real facts of American history" said
Mr.. McSweeney. What America needs
most is the Americanization of the
self-appointed AmericaniZers."
Supreme Master Reddin will name
this work at meeting of the supreme

those said to be eligible to the appoint
ment are Charles S. Mccarthy DR..

In addition to preparing the history
'to be written by eminent men OF
diverse racial extraction and religious
denominations" the Knights of Colum-

publication work in connection with
the movement.
While this work is being done, a
cycle of some "a pamphlets prepared
from original sources and dealing with
critical points in American history
will be circulated among schools, col
leges, universities, legislatures and
newspapers. In this work the 100000
members of the order in the United
States, acting through some 2,200 coun
ellis, will have part.
"No matter what it costs us or how
long it takes" said Mr.. Reddin, 'the
Knights of Columbus are determined
to enroll the best historians to pre-

Thus far only twenty-seven Of the
forty-eight States have placed statues
in the Capitol. The law authorizing
this form of memorial to the distin.
guished citizens of the several com
monwealths was passed in 1864. Al.
though only little over half the
States are represented in the Statuary
Hall collection, the Hall already is
crowded. If more States demand rep
resentation a larger room will be re.

(By N. G. w. c. News service.)


Public sentiment in Louisiana fav-
ors the honoring of the late Chief
Justice Edward Douglas White as one
of it's illustrious sons by placing a
statue of him in Statuary Hall, in the
Capitol at Washington. Senator Rams
dell approves the proposal, and it
doubtless will be formally submitted
to the State Legislature when it con-
venes for the next session, May 8,
1922.
Louisiana has never availed herself
of the privilege of placing statues OF
any of her statesmen, heroes or other
benefactors in the national hall of
fame. Under the law each State is
entitled to be represented by the sta
tues of two persons 'who have been
citizens thereof, and illustrious for
their historic renown or for distin-
guished civic or military service .
The death of Chief Justice White has
revived the discussion of the subject
and it seems certain to result in the
selection of two repres entative Louis
ianians for this permanent public rec
ognition.
Fourth Catholic So Honored.
If Louisiana decides to place sta
tue of Chief Justice White in the Capi
tol he will be the fourth Catholic to
whom such memorial has been &C
corded. The first of these statues tc
be erected was that of Gen. James
