1T is scarcely necessary for us to
tell you how wicked are the regula-
tons and laws invoked against the
catholic citizens of Mexico which have
been sanctioned by officials hostile to
the church and which by their enforce
ment long have oppressed you.
you are fully aware that these laws
are far from being reasonable laws,
nor are they useful and necessary for
the common good as assuredly all
laws should be. On the contrary, they
do not seem to merit even the name
Of laws.
"Our predecessor, Benedict XIV, of
happy memory, accorded you deserved
praise because you rightly, and
moved by your religious beliefs, took
exception to these laws by solemnly
protesting against them, which action
OF Pope Benedict we by this our let
ter. do not only ratify but make our
very own.
Indeed, we are moved all the more
insistently to utter this public protest
and condemnation of such laws see-
ing that, day after day, the warfare
against the catholic religion is being
waged more bitterly by the rulers of
the republic, so that assuredly what
soever lies within our power to aid
the people of Mexico toward the estab-
lishment of peace, even that now be-
comes both inffective and useless, all
of which will result to the great detri-
ment of our beloved country.
who is there that does not know
that our apostolic delegate whom you
two years ago received with such
marks of appreciation and joy, was
expelled from Mexico City as if he
were a common enemy of the repub-
lie? This act not only betrayed lack
of a sense of justice and breach of
good faith, but was likewise a most
grieVous insult both to us, to the HER
archy and the whole people of Mex
leo.

RY ROBERT MINoR

WE reprint here letter written By
" a Negro to the Negotiating cap
italist newspaper, the Chicago Trib
une, dated April 9 and appearing in
that paper on April 10. That the let
ter was held for a day or two and
carefully considered and reconsidered
by the editors before publication, is a
thought which arises from a reading
of its contents:
THE VERDICT IN KENTUCKY
Chicago, April al would like to
know what is Americas sense Of
justice. Your paper put It we'll.
Kentucky had a true test Of its
own law" And 1t has failed. But
who is surprised? Nobody. | don't
know of any place in the world
where there is as much immunity
for any one as there is for an Amer
lean white man. That white brute
that attacked that child in Kentucky
is adjudged insane, and so is every
white criminal.
o, sure, we don't need a law to
prevent lynching; the army was
called out to give judge the OPP
portunity to do the Iynching. But
when Negro child was most brutal
ly attacked we were told the attack
er was the son of rich parents. His
father, no doubt, and his forefathers
have abused Negroes so much until
he cannot help it. Well, of all the
pitiless animals, think the Amer
lean white man is the greatest.
Three times have pledged to sup
port the American constitution and
the laws of the state. Many a day
have pledged my allegiance, but
when ! see the abuse of my people
! wonder if can live UP to that
pledge. If God still answers prayer,
! will pray that the next human dog
in Kentucky clothed in white skin
will rape white woman, so we can
see if he is also insane. ! hope that
this will occur at once.
George w. Lawrence.
This letter is social document. 1t
is one of many small indications of
big social current that is now moving
almost silently but swiftly and with
corrosive effect under the soil of this
capitalist society. A Negro, apparently
worker, writes his individual opinion
about one of the proudest efforts of
capitalist society to cover up its sys-
tenn of terror-supported exploitation
with reform" which this Negro
