CLEVELAND, August 18.-Business
sessions of the Catholic Students
Mission Crusade Tenth National Con-
vention got under way here today with
delegates buoyed by keynote call to
battle in the forces of religion against
communism.
The keynote was sounded in an ad-
dress by Bishop Joseph Schremhs of
Cleveland in public meeting last
night in which he declared: The pur-
pose and central idea of communism
Is world revolution. The purpose and
central idea of Christianity is world
conversion"
Bishop Schrembs said Communists
keep their followers world-minded by
thinking, singing, shouting and fight
ing in terms of the world.
Shall we, as Catholics, who have a
definite commandment to bring all
nations and all peoples of the whole
world into the one fold, the whole
church, the Catholic church, do less
than our enemies?" he asked
He paid particular tribute to Alfred
E. Smith, "Who was the unanimous
choice of his party for the office of
President of the United States, and
who was defeated only by the foul
and disreputable methods of religious
bigotry."
He also praised President Roosevelt,
declaring that the program of social
reconstruction published by the seven
bishops of the Administrative Com
mittee Of the National Catholic We'll
fare Conference during the war is
actually being carried out "by our far
seeing and courageous President,
Franklin Delano Roosevelt"
Approximately 1000 delegates had
been registered for the convention
last night, and more than 5000 were
expected to be registered today.
