seemed destined to grip this nation would be goddess one, the theory that the end of man is not the sal vation of his soul, but the end of man is man.
 Catholic Opinion
 A mighty bulwark. of Catholic opinion must be erected against such an occurrence, he said. Now is the time to rally against such forces as have ceased to believe in God and he earnestly stated that in his opinion there was general dis belief in God in the United States.
 Fascism, the speaker pointed out, Is nothing but political belief, and consequently not to be feared as a foe of the Catholic religion. But communism, Father Parsons. averred is religion and a religion in which there is no God and in which the underlying theory is that voiced above-the end of man is man. Against such a materialistic philos- ophy the forces of the Catholic church must be united.
 During the dinner music was fur nished by the Women's String En- semble under the direction of Mrs. Robert F. Birt.
 Two groups of songs were later heard on the program, Joseph H. i Lezotte and Marcel Doucette being the soloists. Professor F. F. Harmon, who arranged the musical enter tainment, was the accompanist.

LITIGATION SUITS
 ARE WITHDRAWN

Two suits in litigation since 1929 were withdrawn from the superior court docket today. In the actions, Arella Ramon Marcil sought $20,00O and Dora Marcil asked $5,00O for in- juries sustained in an accident on Thomaston avenue Oct. 24, 1929. Bot Insults were against the A. H. Merriman Go.
 Like two companion cases which were. withdrawn from the court of common pleas yesterday, the suits went to the state supreme court of errors and back again. A jury yer dict for $5,000 was given Arella Ra- mon Marcil in 1882, but the verdict was set aside.
 Both cases were awaiting new trials in superior court when they were settled today.

welcome of Sheridan council to the invited guests and patrons and pre- sented the toastmaster of the eve ming, James w. FitzPatrick. ,,
 MT. FitzPatrick paid glowing tribute to the late Cornelius Ma loney, father of the present grand knight, referring not merely to his office as first grand knight of Sheri- dan council, but his character and reputation as newspaper publisher. He recalled the days when he and MT. Maloney sang in the Sacred Heart church choir.
 Mayors Greeting
 Mayor Frank Hayes in welcoming the guests to Waterbury paid high honor to the Knights of Columbus in the birthplace of the national founder of the order, Rev. Michael J. McGivney. He praised the K. of c. highly for its work as Catholic organization.
 Owing to the recent death of his father, State Deputy William J. Shea of Manchester did not attend the banquet.
 Respects were paid to Judge Frank P. McEvoy of this city, the first Catholic judge to be named to the superior court of Connecticut. Owing to the fact that he is engaged in court sessions at the present time Judge McEvoy through the toast master begged to be excused from speaking.
 In introducing Father Parsons, MT. FitzPatrick, who is warm per- sonal friend of his. paid great trib- ute to the periodical, America, of which Father Parsons is at present editor. He eulogized Fathers Wynne and Tierney, who preceded him in the editors seat. He expressed the opinion that Father Parsons was undoubtedly more cognizant of what is behind the news of today than any man that he knew.
 Chaotic Conditions Father Parsons in his remarks called attention to chaotic condi- tionS in this country relative to pub lie opinion and thereupon pro- ceeded to show logically how a sim liar state of affairs in other nations had been strengthened out in simple | fashion.
 In Italy it was discipline, the speaker stated. Benito Mussolini gave the Italian people what a ma jority of them had been aimlessly seeking-plenty of government. In Germany, Adolf Hitler pronounced the word that united the discordant groups. It was autonomy.
 Tn Spain, Father Parsons pointed out. a grave situation with some leader bound to emerge soon to ut ter the magic word that would bind all or mostly all the people together. Spain will return to Catholicity, Father Parsons opined, but if she didn't he pointed out grave conse- quences in the offing. In France. too, he believed that a serious state of affairs would eventually come to pass.
 Tn our own country, where we commonl yspeak of two or three po- i litical parties at the most Father Parsons declared there were seven or eight or more political groups. Every geographical division of the United States he showed to be a political entity unto itself.
 He dreaded the day. he said. when all these several groups are united by somo one person. if the magic word uttered is what he feels it's going to Dc. And Father Parsons did not hesitate to point out that the theory or principle which
