GERMAN CATHOLICS
APPEAL TO PUBLIC
Pastoral Letter to Ask Rights to
Free Worship Within Nation
Be Saved.

BY the Associated Fress.
BRESLAU. Germany, November 2l.
German Catholicism appealed to-
day to the people to save the rights to
free worship within the nation.
Johannes Cardinal Bertram, dean
of German Catholic church officials,
issued a pastoral letter to be read
from pulpits in East and West Central
Germany tomorrow, asking:
After all our sufferings Of the last
20 years, are the souls of our German
people. too, to be outraged? Are our
people to be so torn asunder that one
part, like our forbears. will worship
Jesus Christ as its God and Savior
while the other part despises Christ
and oppresses his adherents?
"All attempts through written petit
tions to relieve the faithful from the
pressure to which their consciences
are being subjected have failed. The
hour now has come to turn to the
public"
The cardinal charged that in many
places efforts are icing made to dis
credit with children the faith Of their
fathers, and thereby sever them from
Jesus and the church; consequently.
and also inwardly, from their par
ents."

IS HELD ALTERED.
Principles of Individual e.
fort Seen Abandoned for
Security Under Law.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, November 20.-Dr. Virgil
Jordan. president of the National In
dustrial Conference Board, in an ad-
dress prepared for the twelfth New
England Conference, asserted today
the recent election showed the Ameri-
can people have abandoned the prin-
ciples Of individual effort in favor of
security under a central government.
DR.. Jordan said 1t had been apparent
for many years profound change
has been taking place in the character
of the American people" and that the
recent national election gave final
and decisive confirmation of this
change"
individual Effort "Repudiated."
The American people. he said, have
definitely repudiated the principles of
individual effort and personal respon-
sibility for security which character
lied the American experiment during
the past century and half.
There is no reason to believe" he
said, that this basic transformation
in the essential spirit Of people can
not successfully embody itself grad
ually in a new way Of life and labor
under an economic and political or
ganization which will provide stable,
uniformly rationed maximum Of Sc
curity and a minimum standard Of
living"
The specific functions Of business
management," DR.. Jordan said, WILL
naturally be greatly altered and man
agement will ultimately become mere
ly an instrumentality Of the state"
Look to State for Prosperity.
"The American people now look to
the state for their prosperity and Sc
curity," he said I'm public psychol-
ogy business has already become mere
ly an adjunct for an all-poyerful, all
wise and all benevolent master gov
ernment."
Jordan said the changes demanded
that business management "oecome
vastly more effective in the utilization
of labor and the conservation Of cap
ital for increased productivity and the
development Of new processes and
products"
"The new America" DR.. Jordan
said, wants security and stability at
any price and to meet that demand
the closest cooperation within indus
try is indispensable If it is to perform
the service no wrequired Of it.

DIRICIB[E SUBSIDY
PLANS CONSIDERED
American Trans. Atlantic
Service Soon May Be
in Operation.
Ev the Associated Press.

American dirigibles soon will be
carrying passengers and freight across
the Atlantic, with the aid Of Gov
ernment subsidies, If plans now COM
ing to a head here are finally ap-
proved.
Representatives Of the Commerce
Department. the Navy and private
business will meet Tuesday to formu-
late recommendations for such sub
sidized service.
The meeting will make a report to
the new Maritime Commission, which,
in turn, will submit its findings to
Congress.
Called by ]. Monroe johnson, as
sistant to Secretary Roper in charge
of the Commerce Departments trans
portation activities, the meeting will
be attended by Comdr. Charles E. Ros-
endahl. who has been prominently
identified with the Navy's lighter
than-air activities; Comdr. Garland
Fulton, another Navy expert: Robert
G. Ebert of New York and Samuel
P. Wetherill of Philadelphia, both
members Of the Business Advisory
Council, and Gill Rob Wilson Of
Trenton, N. j.. an aviation authority.
To Study Subsidy Plans.
johnson said the conferees would
study subsidy plans which would
place American operators Of trans
Atlantic service "on a parity" with
operators in other countries.
He said some subsidy system closely
resembling that provided for the Mer-
chant Marine might be worked out.
The latter provides direct construc-
ton and operating subsidies, based
upon differences between American
and foreign costs.
The Business Advisory Council, a
group of business men who advise
with the Commerce Department. sug-
gested a subsidized dirigible program
several months ago, and Secretary
Roper approved.
Two Dirigibles for Service.
Under the councils plans two
dirigibles would be operated by Amer
leans on regular transatlantic flights.
Their schedules would be co-ordinated
with those of Germany or some other
country to provide frequent sailings
in both directions.
The council expressed the view
that American dirigibles would pro-
mote foreign commerce and would be
valuable in war time.
Rear Admiral A. B. Cook, chief
of the Navy Bureau Of Aeronautics,
recently recommended a new dirigible
construction program. The Navy's
dirigible operations were suspended in
definitely after the Akron and Macon
disasters in 1888 and 1885.
