ployed as trucker for the Torring-
ton company. 1t was Mrs. Kanicki

ments of her family's financial con-
ditlon to Supt. of Charities Ed

This newly found self-confl-

Real struggle for that form Of
Democracy which Is now being
challenged by the totalitarian state
did not begin until some four CEN
turtles ago.
Discovery Of q direct overseas
route to America in 1892, of one
to the Indies in 1893, completely
changed the economic structure Of
Europe. These findings destroyed
the feudal system which had been
based upon agriculture and intro
duced the use Of capitalism.
It is true that a money economy
had already been known in the Ital-
ian city republics of the 18th CEN
fury, especially in Florence where
the Medicis had established the
first big international banking
house. But in the Low Countries,
where the small independent
peasant landowner had never
been as completely absorbed by
the feudal lords as In the rest of
Europe, there was an ideal breed
ing ground for a small-scale sort
of capitalism.
These countries, while essen
tally CHRISTIAN, had become
more and more resentful Of be-
ing ruled by hierarchy which
to them was Of foreign origin
and which, being foreign, failed
to understand the temperament
and the prejudices Of q race
alien to themselves.
There followed that widespread
attempt at reform of the Church
from within. Rather to the sur
prise of those who had started it,
this ended in a definite separation
from Rome and the establishment

trays its origin by its name-that

AS long as the Spaniards and the
Portuguese, with the approval Of the

owners Of all the newly discovered
territories in Africa, Asia and AM

obliged to respect the wishes of their
spiritual master.
