urged upon Roman Catholics "de- tachment from worldly goods and application of Christian charity, es- pecially justice. Justice above all, which should induce employers of labor and the wealthy to recognize the inalienable right of the workman to a salary sufficient for himself and his family, and to, safeguard even in his labor his lasting dignity as man and a child of good."' f
 No Aims for Workers
 At another point in this encyclical on communism he said:
 "The wage earner is not to re- ceive as aims what is due in justice and let none attempt by triding charitable donations to exempt him. self from the great duties imposed by justice"
 Peace and prosperity would return to Mexico, the encyclical was rep- resented to say, if clergy and peo- pie tried to render even more in- tense and effective the Christian way of life" It appeals to Cath olics of Mexico to give religious, moral and financial assistance, 1t was said, accompanied by social and Christian propaganda to the more needy classes. "In this man. ner," the encyclical was reported to say, Mexican Catholics would make a great contribution to the welfare of their country"
 Religious. Economic Aid
 Religious and economic aid to irl- dustrial and land workers would aid the church in reaching their souls, the encyclical said.
 It was noted at once that in the first of his series of three ency- clicals, against communism, the Pope spoke to employers on their duty to the people who work for them.
 Written while many persons thought him almost helplessly i'll. and following his encyclicals on communism and on church condi- tons in Germany, today's encycli- cal was made public while the Pope was conserving his strength for his first public appearance tomorrow since he became gravely i'll early last December.
 He is to attend Easter mass and bless the multitude from the central loggia of St. Peters.
 Saddened at Mexico Issued in summary form by the Vatican secretariat, pending the full Italian and Spanish text estimated at 10000 words, the encyclical said that the Pope's heart was greatly saddened by the conditions "af- flicting the church in Mexico
 An efficaciouS means of restoring church life in Mexico, the Pope said, was CD sonctification of clergy; @ collaboration of the laity in the apostolic work of the hierarchy.
 Mexicans were asked to "set aside personal differences in order that they may understand the necessity of forming but one body and one spirit"
 Craven Problem
 It was known that the pope re- garded the situation of the Roman Catholic church in Mexico, where some states do not permit public worship, as one of his gravest problems.
 His encyclical today, however, as disclosed in summary form, was an appeal to Catholics to better their conditions rather than a forcefui criticism of the conditions, as was the case in his encyclicals on com- munism and Germany.
 The encyclical was expressed to members of the Mexican hierarchy.
 The pope expressed his satisfac- ton at the affection the hierarchy. the clergy and Mexican Catholics generally had shown "in circum- stances in which open profession of faith can require really heroic con- duct"
 He highly praised American bish- ops ol the church ''who have come to the aid Of their brothers cf the Mexican hierarchy by providing for creation of seminary for Mexican students in the United States"
