l. There is a big strike of the
bakers in progress at Guadala-
IL lara, in the state of JaliSco. The
unions demands have not yet
been met and as a result hardly any
bakeshops are working, though some eX-
pect to open operations shortly with
non-union bakers. The police have
guaranteed protection to these free
bakers, but whether they will be able
to insure this immunity is a matter of
doubt, as the strikers have already de-
stroyed some bakeries, and. whether
they want to or not, the authorities
must concede certain strength and
importance to the bakeshop employees as

Hold World
Has Been De- Christianized.
Ell Nuevo Diario, Caracas--Is this a
Christian civilization or is there no
more than an appearance of Christian
ity, wherein the real spirit of the times
is fundamentally opposed to the code of
conduct and sentiments of the soul
which dominate the pages of the New
Testament? This question cannot be
long discussed without discovering that
the modern world is tortured by many
uncertainties and preoccupations that
older generations. never knew.
There are groups that say the world
has been de-Christianized and that this
falling away from the precepts and ex-
ampleS of the fathers is the cause of
all the disasters that have visited our
time. Others think that the time has
come to replace the lofty teachings and
standards Of Christianity with an ethi-
cal system more attainable by human
ity They say that the cause of modern
disturbances has been the impossibility
of realizing the lofty heights set
for the goal of the human race. The
ascent of these glorious sleeps has been
too slow and labored, but can there be
achieved by mind and matter what has
never yet been reached by the soul and
faith? What do we think of these con-
flicting doctrines?

We shall see, however, that the nine
tenth century, III spite of its wars and
rumorS OF wars and in spite of all that
was not good and just i'll it, was, never
theleSs, the most Christian of all the
centuries.
