that as a result of war iime conditions

very little construction work done. This

many Of us, resulted in a shortage OF

professional or business man can tell you

AMERICAN HISTORY

The study of American history and
traditions is urged by the Rev. DR..

the Catholic University, as certain to
have wholesome influence towards
restoring the old-time chivalry to-
wards wemanhood which was so char

poverty stricken consitionsof the coun-
try. A pastoral letter issued by the
Cardinal orders collections held in all
the churches in the diocese for the
benefit Of the monasteries and other
religious institutions. The letter states
that it is realized that everyone is in
need at this time, but points out that
even though nearly everyone is pow
cry stricken, still some means must
be found to fulfill the obligations of
Christian charity and care for those
whose distress is greater.
The Bishop of Munster has made
a specific appeal to the farmers of his
diocese to sell their potatoes directly
to the poor and not to the dealers,
even though the latter may be willing
to pay higher prices. Part of the
Bishops letter reads: Poverty is in
creasing from day to day There are
many suffering and starving. 1t is the
duty of everyone to help. / know that
many farmers will help and forego
some of their profits for the relief of
the poor. Be charitable to the poor
and you will have Gods blessing for
it. You will not grow poor giving
aims. God will repay you seven times

His Grace Issues
Clarifying Statement

and school conditions, Catholics in
this country maintain that without the
school there will be no Church. For
this reason they have made their
sacrifices, and are prepared to make
more, in order to save their children
from the dangers of materialism and
OF irreligion. They may be right or
they may be wrong in this contention;
that is beside the mark They have
acted within the law and in the spirit
OF our nations fundamental principles
and historic precedents.
Therefore, because of the Injustice,
wrought upon their fellow-Catholics in
Oregon and because of the menace
which this triumph Of bigotry en-
bodies for the Catholic parochial
school system throughout the land
they find themselves compelled to
take every legitimate means to resist
this iniauitous amendment and to show
that, as it is violatiye of the funda-
mental liberties of citizenship. it is OF
no effect. 1t is a contest in which all
Catholics and all lovers of liberty, ir-
respective OF creed, are deeply inter
ested. 1t is a fight for freedom of con-
science which we have not sought,
the need for which we did not dream
of till this issue of majority tyranny
was raised. But we do not delude our
selves into thinking that it is going
to be an easy matter to obtain victory.
We know who our opponents are, how
intense in their hatred, how resource
tul in their attack and with what un-
limited funds they carry ON their
campaigns against US. Yet we are
without anxiety for the result, for we
have faith in the fair-mindedness of
our fellow-citizens and we have faith
in the validity of the principles of our
government, which guarantee us lib
erty. and we have faith i'm the Justice
with which our courts have uniform
ly interpreted these principles for the
century and a half of our nations ex-
istence."

CLERGY HELP GERMAN
PRIESTS.

The plight of the Catholic clergy in
Germany has aroused the charity of
the clergy in Holland and steps are
now being taken for the relief Of the
German priests. At a recent confer
ence Of the clergy of the Dutch diocese
of Limbourgh it was decided to ask
the people of Holland to contribute
for the financial support of the Ger
man priests. @
1t was pointed out at this confer
ence that 1870 out OF the 1890 priests
in the Archdiocese of Cologne alone
are in the direst need of aid, many
of them living in conditions of abso-
lutte poverty and many more only a
little removed from the danger Of
starvation. Relations between the
Dutch and German clergy have always
been friendly and ih former years the
German priests were accustomed to
send stipends to the priests of Holland
who at that time were less fayorably
situated from a. financial point of view
than were the priests in Germany.
Cardinal Schultz, and the Bishop OF
Munster have taken steps to alleviate

ton is considered to be direct blow
at the fundamental unity of the Chris

dent of the Council, Miss Agnes
Regan, national secretary, yesterday
explained Catholic Women's opposition
to the proposed amendment, in an ad-
dress before the convention of the Ma

But in this bill there is a much.
more serious menace. 1t is a vital
blow at that institution upon which
the very foundations of society rest,
upon which the preservation of our
national institution depends-thez

mildest term applied to those men and
women who still feel that the family

that in its integrity it symbolizes onE
earth the relationship between the
Creator and His creatures. AS the:
unit through which in the long ages:
of civilization, our national life, our
theories of government have develop. i
ed, we can but feel that every new
attack upon the institution of mar
riage, upon which the home rests, is.
in the final analysis as serious an at
tack on our governmental institutions
as are the revolutionary theories of
those who today threaten the over
throw of all government"
Even the public presentation of
many of the arguments put forward
by proponents of the bill are having
harmful effect Miss Regan declared, Z
because THE persistent emphasis on
the idea that The majority of women
who marry are deprived of all rights.
that they are the victims Of selfish
and domineerfng men,. that their. chill
dren look upon them as weaklings, is
bringing about a very serious attitude
on the part of our young people to-
wards marriage"
1.-THE Catholic Church. she con-.
tinued, teaches that marriage is a
divine institution, permanent in char
acter, that this relationship is entered
into voluntarily, that. the men and
women so united assume certain duties
and responsibilities to themselves
and to future generations which, they
may not shirk. The whole idea of
marriage involves not only self-ex-
preston but self-denial The family

unit when two people may choose
domicile, residence, and name?"
In statement earlier in the week
in New York, Mrs. Gavin had an
nounced the opposition of the Nation
al Council of Catholic Women to the
Equal Rights" bill for the reasons
alluded to in Miss Regan's address.
Mrs. Gavin declared her belief that
'such legislation would have a decid.
ed tendency to jeopardize mothers
pensions" and that "a wife's legal
claim to support by her husband would
be in danger il such blanket legisla-
tion were passed.

THE SITUATION IN OREGON.
(N. C. w. g, News Service J


Archbishop Bowling of st. Paul,
Chairman of the Educational Depart
ment of the National Catholic Welfare
Council, today issued the following
statement commenting upon the adop-
tion in Oregon of the constitutional
amendment fer compulsory attendance
in the public school of all children be-
tween the ages of eight and sixteen
years.
The Oregon amendment making all
private instruction of children in the
elementary grades illegal is aimed
primarily at Catholic parochial schools
as the bitter campaign in it's behalf
.abundantly demonstrated. 1t is, how
ever, an attack on the fundamental
liberties Of every citizen and should
he recognized as such, for the same
intolerant spirit which prompted it is
found in many other places than Ore.
gon.
This law denies the right of the:
parent to provide adequate and suit:
able instruction for his children in the
schools of his choice 1t sanctions by
implication the Soviet claim to invade
the home and substitute communal for
parental care. There is no argument
against communism if this law is con-
stitutional. 1t denies the right of the
individual to engage in the profession
of teaching in any but a state school,
thus suppressing wholesome competi-
ton in field which without compe-
-ution and criticism will become at
last sterile and may become the seed
plot of 1nischievous political propa-
ganda. Moreover, it is an infringe
ment of the liberty of conscience that
has been the boast of our country,

Constitution and by all our state con-
stitutions, for while. many hold that
religious instruction may be adequate
