 Speaking on "'The Mystical Body, tho brilliant professor Of philosophy at the Catholic Univer. sity in Washington, D. O., said: (september, le36.)
 "En the future there will Do only two great capitals In the world, Moscow and Rome; only two temples, the Kremlin and SC. Peters; only two sanctuary lamps, the red flag and tho red sentinel oe the Altarj only two tabernaclos, thc Red Square and the Eucharist; only two hosts, the rottcd body of Lenln and EmmanueII only two hymns, the Internatlonale and the "pRnis Angelicus"; but there will bo only one victory, for # Christ wins, we win; and if Christ .... An, but Christ can't lose" MT. Smith
 Do tho red batting duPont Leaguers Mir. Smith declared: (January, i03e).
 "NQw, in conclusion, lot me rive thls solemn wafning: There can be only ono capital Washs ington or Moscow.
 "There can be only one at. mosphere of government the CleaE, pure, fresh alF of free America, or the foul breath of eommunistlc Russia. There can be only one flag, the stars and stripes or tho flag of the god. less Union of soviets. There can be only one national an. them, The Star-Bpangled BRn- ner,' or the 'Internatlonale.'
 "There can be only one victor. Ie the Constltutlon wins, we win.
 But if the Constltutlon--stop, stop there--the Constitution can't lose.
 "The fact is, it has already won, but the news has not reached certain ears."
 Enough said.
 
 The Effect Desired
 It must Do apparent to any thinking person that tho reason Mir. Smith was delegated to fire tho duPont Liberty League's caili- paign balls is not because of tho deadly effect of the missiles, but because of tho finger releasing them. The importance of the speech depended not on its con. tent, which Sen. Robinson pulver. iged in his radio rejoiner, but on the indubitable personal appeal of the speaker to the great mass of tho American electorate. There k no denying the fact that, until his first blast ct tho Democratic administration, MT. Smith was a1 idol of myriads of people. He had rolled up the largest popular vote ever given a presidential candi- date, excepting the man who de- feated him, for four principal rea- sons. Ills record as sponsor Of welfare legislation when he was governor of New York gave him Q Lincolnesque background and in- dicated that he had the interest Of the underprivileged and exploited ct heart; his use of the language of everyday human beings and his deliberate contempt for gram mar and pronunciation built up the illusion of e man who hated every kind of snobhery and sham; he was the prime advocate of the poor laboring man who wanted his glass of beer returned; and he had been made the target of ia natical religious bigotry. There fore, reasoned the duPont Liberty Leaguers, the millions who had looked up to him for guidance be- cause of the possession of these qualifications would automatically be influenced by his attack on the New Deal and vote against its greatest exponent ct next Novem- ber's election. It will be @ great trick if MT. Smith does 1t. doubt that he can. For with some excep- tions he has reduced his influence to the vanishing point.
