Patriotism of Catholics
Have Catholics ever failed the Uni.
ted States by any test of patriotic
demands?
NO.
The record shows from the very
beginning Of this nation that Cath
olics have always done not only their
duty in war and peace, but that they
have often done more than their
duty, and often in numbers far more
than their proportion in the total
population would indicate. On the
other hand, no single authentic in
stance has ever been cited where
Catholics have failed in the demands
Of patriotism.
It must be remembered that up
to the very date of the adoption of
the Federal Constitution there had
been in all the Colonies statutes dis
criminatory against Catholics; con-
sequently there were very few of
them in the American Colonies at
the time Of the Revolution. Yet
those who were here seem to have
done their duty to the last man.
The Carroll family of Carrollton,
Maryland, one of whom was a signer
Of the Declaration, gave not only of
their services to the state, but gen.
erously Of their ample means to sus-
tain the Colonial army. Thomas
Fitzsimmons of Philadelphia, a
Catholic, was the largest individual
subscriber to the Revolutionary
loans. Four other Catholic Phila-
delphians, Shea, Delaney. and the
Smith Brothers, gave $4,000 for
food and clothing for Washington's
troops to Robert Morris. The

MANY AG|TATED
IN PLEAS FOR
JOBLESS
By B. G. FORBEs

Never before has this column
received such an outpouring Of let
tiers from workers of all classes.
Bolshevism has died down, but
widespread dissatisfaction has
been created among workers by-
first, the dismissal Of employees
during ! the last nine months be-
cause OF slackened business.
Second, the refusal Of many com.
panies to engage any man over
40, or women, even younger. Third.
the employment OF married
women at a time when many mar
ried men are unable to get jobs.
How to meet the existing gitua-
ton should be seriously pondered
by all responsible employers.
Let US catch q glimpse into the
workings of the minds Of various
type Of workers.
Women 3 Menace
Hermann Zetshold. Elizabeth, N.
j., writes:
ut seems obvious to me
that, generally speaking, married
women should last be considered
for employment in any capacity
whatever. In these days Of stress.
married women In gainful occu-.
patton are a menace to social
equity. The simple fact Is. that
our economic structure rests
upon single standard Of income.
In the degree that women. espe-
cially married women. are per.
mitted to invade the general
world Of work. in that degree
shall we disIocate II not de-
n1oralize our commonwealth.
If we should sanction double
incomes. or married incomes. if
you will. at the price OF general
social misery and economic un-
wholesomeness and unhappiness.
then please count me out"
Family Man First
This pathetic letter from d wis
consin woman speaks for itself:
II am married woman for IL
years. / have been working for
the last two years because my
husband could not get steady EN-.
ploynent. and there Ii a daughter

II do know there are women

only too glad to give my work
UP to some one else that needs
It. ] think there are q good
many sad families; the man looks
and looksf for work and drifts
away. ] got a letter from my
husband some time ago. He
wrote, Anna, have you ever been
in the city without money and
hungry? Well, that's the way
! am now
MY idea II. give the man with

husband got q job and we could
get the little family together

NEW YORK, May 1.PoIitica
and finance win b fused &c Wash
ington today when, according
to reports, Chairman Norbeci, 0k
the COMMITTEES on Banking and
Currency, viii report to the Senate
on Senator La FOlIette's resolution
to check brokers' loans.
II adopted, the resolution viii
accomplish little except putting on
record that the members Or
the upper house Of Congress are
not In sympathy with current
speculative activities In Wall
Street. That may or may
not 10 important, but, IL brokers'
loans get high enough to attract
the attention of Congress, that fact
ii itself IS & barometer that some.
thing significant has occurred.
DiscOurages Expansion
The resolution would ask the
Federal Reserve Board 20 Fad.
n1onish all Federal Reserve banks
to take steps against permitting
any further expansion Of loans
Tor speculative purpcses. The
Federal Reserve authorities, ag
WAS the case earlier in the year
beat the gun and prCceeded il1
advance or political Instructions.
iii authorizing the second series
81 rate increases this year by five
0f the regional banks. the Federal
Reserve Board has recently tndi-
Gated very plainly where &c
stands on the brokers loan situa-
tion. Through rate changes and
through the heavy sale Of Cow
eminent obligations, the Federal
Reserve authorities have already
acted. The Senate resolution at
best can only strengthen the posi-
ton OF the board by further TO-
cussing public attention on the
fact that the now of credit into
speculative channels has been alb
normally rapid In recent months,
and that brokers loans now stand
It q new high record.
Measure Objectionable
The resolution, though perhaps
sound In calling attention to ex-
cessive use of credit Tor gpecu-
Iative purposes, Is objectiOnab

resents an attempt on the part
Of CONGRESS to delegate powers to
