CATHOLIC CHURCH NOTES

Mass July 16, Holyoke and Kerrick.
Outside of the Catholic church
there are many who do not really be-
lieve in He'll, nor Heaven, nor final
judgment, nor even in death. Clear
cold calculating reason tells them tina.
death is inevitable, but many health
full people do not believe here and now
that they will die. They do not feel
like dying, and therefore death is not
reality for them no more than is
judgment and He'll. And their re-
ligious training often drugs and lulls
them into a dangerous self-complacen-
cy and feeling" of being saved"
They believe that Christ will pitch
fork" them into Heaven, without Civ
ing up their pet vices, if only they
"bawl' to Him now and again for a
''cover-up." Physicians do not ''cover
up" bodily diseases. And Christ warns
these people that mot every one who
say to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the
Kingdom of Heaven" etc. The Catholic
church helps people to think straight
by facing facts; and helps people to
do 'the will of the Father" the ten
Commandments not by mere natural
and occasional emotiOnalism, but by
the supernatural help of Christ's Sac
raments, in which God helps people
to help themselves, and helps those
only who help themselves.

machinery to those who do the real work of society in
stead of to those who, through their ownership Of the
means of production, live largely without either toiling or
spinning by the clever devices of dividend checks and
interest coupons.
But we should not be surprised at Secretary Chapin's
lack of both industrial craftsmanship and social vision.
He belongs to that socially questionable group who believe
that the only purpose of industry is to make maximum
profits for those who own the industrial machinery and
saddle the masses and their children for countless genera
lions with billions of dollars of mortgages in the form of
stocks and bonds which are perpetual and issued for the
sole purpose of claiming the workers, without possibility
of escape, to the profit-making machine.
In contradiction to Chaplin and his associates, the Amer
lean Federation of Labor holds that the major purpose of
industry should be to the common good of all the people,
and that the welfare Of those who do the useful work is a
primary charge that must be fully met before the interests
of other less useful groups are considered.
Montana labor news., 1933-01-12
UNEMPLOYMENT AND CRIME

An increasingly larger number of authorities hold the
conviction that so-called "crime" resorted to by the unem-
ployed to secure food and other n%ecessaries of life for
themselves and their dependents is not in the category of
ordinary law violation and should receive clemency when
ever it occurs.
Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio rail
road, gave emphatic expression to this belief a number of
months ago When, IN a vigorous criticism OF the existing
system of production, he declared that if unable to secure
work he would steal rather than starve.
Mr.. Wizards statement was not seriously condemned
except by a few reactionary legalists. It reflected the
view that when, either by positive action or refusal to act,
society imposes economic conditions by which working
men and women are deprived Of the right to work, and
consequently of the right to live decently, society must
deal leniently with those violations of law which are the
normal results of its own delinquency.
This conviction is expressed in a broad way by Will J.
French, director of industrial relations of California, in a
discussion of the necessity and resentment of poorly nOur-
ished unemployed considered as a contributing factor to
the cause of crime. He said:
"Allo over the world it is found that the crime wave
goes up when unemployment is prevalent. This is
natural. Hungry men, women and children become
desperate. Men will steal rather than watch their
children go hungry.
"The man who strives, day in and day out, to find
work, and who realizes the seeming futility of the
search as he sees countless thousands engaged in a
like quest, would not be human if he did not feel him
self giving way under the strain. More often he suf-
fers acutely as he sees his wife and little ones lack
the essentials.
'The loss of the child's laughter is a tragedy that
stands out in our present-day situation. The fact that
daddy is without employment and is sorrowful him
self impresses itself upon the juvenile mind.
Dissatisfaction with the existing order is reflected
in overt acts or in a social sullenness that is d etrimen-
tai to the w~ell-being of a nation. That this is true is
shown by the downward trend of the crime curve
when work is obtainable and the fundamental needs
of human beings are supplied"
Work for the millions of the unemployed is the only
remedy for much of the increase in crime. Moreover, it
is a form of justice that should be Immediately given.
The way to provide this work is to reduce the length
of the work week to thirty hours as a starter, without
reduction in either the weekly or monthly earnings of those
who already have jobs.
The t~hirty-hour week is Labor's remedy for the unem-
%ployment crisis and the only thing that will start business
prosperity. There should be no delay in applying it to
every industry and calling.
