 College Friday

Boston, Nov. 24--(Up)-Early goals of his cardlnalatc attained, William Cardinal O'Connell, dean of the Catholic hierarchy in Amer. ica, has pledged himself to work for tho spiritual care of the blind.

 Speaks of Project
 "This project-the care of the blind in . spiritual way--is already occupying the time of some ib0 men and women In all walks of life. doctors, lawyers and merchants. I hope to extend 1t throughout the diocese. There, persons agree to devote c day or days of the week to the blind. They will go into their homes, take them for . drive, take them to church. to confession and to holy communion" Recalling re- aiization of the ideals he set up when he first became Q prince of tho church. Cardinal O'Connell placed first the coordination of all charitable organizations in the dio- ceso and the unification of the dio- cese. Tho growth of religious tol- erance was hailed by the cardinal.

is the attitude of the Protestant North. Southern Irishmen of all parties would dearly like to see the disappearance of the inconven. tent, economically unnatural frontier that carves this tiny island into two separate states. "End partition" Is 8 popular cry with all political parties in the Free State. But the North, at present, will have nothing of it. Protestant Ulster is more dead set than ever against casting In It's lot with Catholic Dublin. Ulstermen, 1t is apparent, would be prepared to resist by force of arms, just as they were in 1914, any attempt to bring them into an all.Ireland state gov- erned from Dublin.
 Even the Free State government admits the faint hopes of ending partition in the near future. Thom- as Derring, Minister of Education, in a recent speech at Blarney Go. Cork, said:
 q can see no royal road to end partition, which is 8 problem whose solution requires patience and un- derstanding, but we are going ahead with our own policy in the Free State."
 Emmity Not Lessened
 North and South admit they need each other If Ireland is ever to be an economically balanced country. The Free State needs to sell It's agricultural produce to the North. Ulster needs to sell It's manufactures to the Free State. But centuries of unknown in most other countries, bitter racial and religious prejudice, prevent @ union of the two discord- ant sections.
 No one knows better than Presi- dent de Valera himself the present. ly insurmountable obstacles to the declaration of an all-Ireland Re. public. rrishmen of all political complexions agree that the presi- dent os as sincere as ever he was in his desire to see such Q republic brought about.
 But 1t seems that more than four years in office have taught de Valera that Ireland cannot en- tirely do without Great Britain. He sees that despite 8 bitter trade war Ireland still has Q turn her face toward Britain as the natural outlet for agricultural produce. In the first six months of this year the total export trade of the Irish Free
