CHURCH, PRESS
URGED TO WAR.
ON PROPAGANDA.
Connolly Cooperation
Plea IndorSed
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN

BY JAMES II. hlLOALLEN
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 10 QN.S)
Better cooperation between the
Catholic church and the press Of
America was subject that today
engaged the serious attention Of
prominent delegates to the eighth
National EuchariStic Congress.
His excellency, Most Rev. John
Mark Cannon, Bishop Of Erie, Pa,
expressed himself in whole-hearted
accord with the suggestion that
the relation between the church
and the secular press be put on a
better basis to combat the inroadS
Of propaganda that is sweeping
the world.
CONNOLLY SPEAKS
The issue was raised in an ad-
dress by Joseph v. Connolly, presl-
dent of International News Serv-
Ice. and general manager OF the
Heart newspapers, who advocated
establishment of better press rela-
tions on the part Of the Catholic
Church in dealing with the press.
He declared the church should
make it's information more readily
accessible to the press of America,
which he termed the fairest press
In the world"
Connolly also urged an unre-
lenting battle against all forms OF
intolerance, expressing the opinion
tnat Catholic forces throughout
the world should join in crusade
against all forms of 'isms" in q
defense of all those who suffer,
"JeWs and Christian alike"
FIGHT FOR LIBERTIES
Bishop Cannon expressed him.
self in hearty accord with the sug-
sestion that the church do its
part in combating propaganda
tnat is sweeping this and other
countries.
I'VE Catholics are being
beaten all over the world on
this matter" Bishop Cannon
asserted. The priests and
bishops are the last trench in
certain countries in the fight
against suppression of human
liberties. When that trench
goes, the people will have sur
rendered all their personal lib
erty."
Connolly advocated that the
Catholic Church set up a news
bureau that would provide prompt
and accurate information to the
American press on each and every
story of significance to the gen
eral public. In this regard Bishop
Cannon said:
In the United States we beg
that you, the secular press, join
the Christian press to stop the
enemies imported into America
from foreign lands. Give us that
cooperation and we will begin
to restore the democracy Of
America which our forefatherS
handed down to U.S.

But from other it learned he here under

work of Nazi organizations in this country.
This borne out by the fact that there close bond
of friendship between Hitler and Wiedemann and the
Fuehrer has called Wedemann to do many secret mis-
son for him. The friendship dates back the days when
Hitler was a corporal in the World War and Wedemann
his company commander.

munist told the Dies un-American
activities committee today.
The witness, Clyde Morrow, Of
Detroit, said that the Communists
conducted an experimental" sit
down strike at the Hudson Motor
Car Company in 1884 through the
medium Of "stoppage" maneuvers
which shut down units or depart
ments Of the plant for one hour
at time. The first actual sit.

at the Midland Steel Company

He quoted from a purported re-
port made by william Weinstone,

gan Communist party, made to Q
Communist meeting March 10.
1887, claiming full credit for the

the Weinstone report as asserting
that where Sit-down strikes were
called in Michigan cities not hav.
ing a Communist party nucleus,
that they had failed to achieve
victory.
Weinstone, he said, told q Com,
munist gathering that this was
true in Bay City, Saginaw and
Pontiac.
Originated Here
"'With the profound graft
tude Of the Communist party
the seeds of the Sit-down strike
were sown in South Bend, Ind,'"
Morrow read from the report.
"'Some say it was originated in
France, some say Moscow, but
actually it was here in Amer"
lea.
Other quotations termed the
new strike tactic as the only ef.
fectlve way to beat the bourgeois
exploiters," and as the most ad.
vanced technique for party nuclei
yet developed" At another point
the report said that the sit-down
strike technique had not been EN-
ployed before because the polit1.
cal times were not right"
Morrow displayed his card as
evidence that he had been o mem.
ber of the Communist party since

He said that he had formerly

OFFER CONDITIONAL

The offer, however, will be made
conditional upon Germany's will,
lngnesS to enter a general Euro
pean peace pact.
If Hitler demands the outright
return of all Germans former
colonies, the British will seize upon
the very argument that the Ger
man chancellor used so effectively
in connection with the Sudeten
GermanS-the right of peoples tC
self-determination.
Capital advantages will be made
of this argument to oppose vigor
ouSly any demand for the full
restoration Of the pre-war German
colonies.
Hitler's attention will be draw
to the protests now pouring II
from southwest Africa and Tan
ganika against cesSion to Ger
many. The British government
If necessary, will offer to hold 6
plebiscite under internationa
supervision in those areas to con
vince Hitler the people do moi
want to join the Reich.
The British are, however, willing
to consider the possibility of re
storing Togoland and part Of the
CameroonS to Germany under Ger
tain conditions and providing
there are ample safeguards for q
certain amount of home rule
among the inhabitants.
LAST RESORT
This offer of a "token" restcra
ton will be made only as a last
resort to save Hitler's face al
home if he goes so far in demand
ing outright return Of all colonie;
that it will be difficult for him tt
retract.
The idea Of joint exploitation
of important raw-material produc.
ing colonial possessions by the
five powers will be suggested first
Such exploitation would be carried
out under supervision Of an inter

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Choice of Treatment

Please tell me, if you had small hernia that barred you from getting a position you might otherwise have, would you be operated on or take the injection treatment? co. R.)
 Answer-I'd have the injection treatment, for the reason a surgeon gave me when I found him under going the injection treatment: q can't afford to take time off to stay in a hospital" Injection or ambul- ant treatment of hernia requires as great or greater skill and care on the part of the doctor as does a radical operation for hernia.
 Wart
 Can you suggest anything to re- move wart from my hand? (Mrs. c. A. McD.)
 AnsWer-Sometimes, a good many readers assure me, wart disap- pears if you rub a drop of castor oil on it every day for a week or two. Most satisfactory treatment is fulguration-sparking with high fre- quency current, the wart being first moistened with liquor potassae. Sometimes the familiar corn remedy disposeS of warts as well as it does of cornS and .calluseS-paint wart, corn or callus daily with solution of 30 grains of salicylic acid in one- half ounce of flexible collodion.
