Holy Pontiff Gives
 His Famous Address
(continued from Page 1)

"Thus will be achieved that up- lifting of tho proletariat which Pope Leo XIII so ardently desired. The differences in social conditions of the human family which have been wisely decreed by the Creator must not and cannot ever be abolished but on the other hand the condition of the proletariat cannot forever be the normal condition to the bulk or mankind"
 In the above passage, the Pope made 1t clear that the reducing of aIf mankind to a common level, as sought in Soviet Russia, is opposed by the church.
 The Pope's address was read In the courtyard of St Damascus, be- side the medallion on which the name of the new encyclical is en- grayed alongside that of the Rerum Novarum. The new encyclical IS called "Quadresimo Anno," deriving fts name from the first two words of the text.
 The encyclical begins by recalling how necessary and opportune was the publication of the Rerum No- varum 40 years ago. The Pope said he desired to communicate & summary in advance of the new docament to his faithful sons gath cred around their common father.
 Referring to the growth, of work ingmen's organizations, the encych- cal says that such associations, by putting into practice the principles laid down by Leo XIII and con- 1irmed by his successors, have mer- itnA well of civilization and contri- bil{ed to true social prosperity. The Pope described the Rerum Novarum encyclical as the Magma Carta of all catholic activities in. the social sphere.
 The new encyclical indicates 1t is the full right and solemn duty or the head of the church to intervene in social problems where they Tall within the scope of the moral ana evangelical law. Discussing the re- lations of capital and labor, 1t re. iterates that neither have the right to demand for themselves alone all the profits of the mutual collabora- tion and recalled the words of Leo XIII. "capital cannot do without la bor nor labor without capital"
 .'It is essential" the Pope told his hearers, .:that the proletariat be enabled gradually to obtain some of the advantages enjoyed by the pro- prfetors. In the present order this can only be accomplished by & just wage. Wages, therefore, must be such as to satisfy the legitimate re- uuirements of the honest workman, not only for his person but for his family, and enable him to improve his condition within the limits above dsscribed all opposition classes must cease and harmonious col liberation must be established be- tween trade groups.
 ssWork is not any kind of saleable commodity but one wherein the hu- man dignity of the workingman must always be respected. The vari- ous trades, industries and occupa- tons all work together towards the common good and human society will be more cordially united and harmoniously organized, the more faithfully all of them practice their own professions and follow their bridled competition has been suc- ceeded by an exaggerated concern tration in the hands of 8 few of the whole economic power, not only of a single nation but of the entire world. Thus the concentration of this power degenerates into tyrranical despot- ism.
 "Ths only efficacious remedy for disorder is & return to the sane principles of social philosophy and their prudent application to capital and labor and the relations between the two.
 ''Socialism, too, which has boasted it was supplying a radical remedy for this same evil, has undergone a, profound modification since the days of Leo XIII. It has split into two divisions, the first of which draws all logical consequences, even the most extreme, from the principles of socialism and has taken the name of communism. It Is we'll known that its teachings can in mo- wise be reconciled with the doctrine of the church.
 "The other, which continues to be known as socialism, has frequently and notably mitigated its program. Tn many points it has approached now more or less so close to Catho- nc social principles that some are asking themselves whether now the division is not one merely of name."
 The Pope. however. said that this socialism, provided it really remains socialism even in a mitigated form, and even though in many points its teachings in themselves are con- formable to justice and are admit ted by the church, has nevertheless fundamental concepts of human so- ciety so different from the true concept given us by the gospel that any agreement in doctrine remains always absolutely impossible.
 s.It is not possible, tethe Pope pro- nounced. ito be Simultaneously a good Catholic and true socialist
 The pope exhorted those "de- ceived by false hopes who sweiied the ranks of Socialism" to return to the church immediately and enroll themselves in the groups who ac- cording to the principles enunciated by Lan XIII. are striving with every nerve to establish human society on a sound basis of justice and charity.
 The pope then suggested rem. E . .H~- ~-- --->~~-A >--Aa~- sx~ .~iA tha
