Mser. Ryan Praises

Christian Ideals
Compares voided n. R. A
With 'GuiId Stote'
Visioned by Catholics
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, April GA
Catholic prelate-economist said to-
day the Roosevelt administration
had laid some foundations for an
ideal Christian state envisaged In
recent pronouncement of group
of archbishops and bishops.
The Rt. Rev. Msgr. John A. Ryan
of Washington elaborated the theme
in an interview and in a speech
before the regional Catholic con-
ference on industrial problems. He
compared the NJ r. A., killed in 1885
by the Supreme Court. and the
guild state" suggested by the pre-
lates heading the National Catholic
Welfare Conference, whose social
action department he directs.
"They are at least close enough
so that a comparison could show
what the guild plan is," he said.
IN. r. A. was not perfect. 1t was
weak particularly in that it failed
to provide enough participation by
labor in the preparation Of the
codes. although labor could be heard
in the matter Of specific regula-
tions."
The bishops proposed organization
of industry into functional groups
in which planning and regulation
would be by equal representation Of
capital, labor and the public, with
the Government lending its author
ity. but not directly controlling busi-
ness.
"The essential requirement is that
the functional groups or guilds
should have authority to plan our
economy" Msgr. Ryan explained.
He warned against confusion Of
the guild plan either with the me-
dieval guilds of craftsmen, or the
Italian corporate state, in which, he
said, "The Fascist authorities run
the Unions. They are not free to
exert their influence in planning .
Because employers have "a natu-
raj advantage in organization" he
said. the first practical step in
achieving the guild state should be
organizing unorganized workers.
Msgr. Ryan defended New Deal
spending, the Wage-Hour and Wag-
ner Acts and the Justice Depart
ment's antitrust activities, saying
the only solution Of unemployment
was distributing more of the return
from business to wage earners and
farmers, less to capital.

LONDON, April 9.-Tollowing Is
the text Of Prime Minister Cham
berlain's statement to the House Of
Commons today on the German In
vasion Of Denmark and Norway:
The House viii be aware that Ger
many has today invaded Denmark
and Norway. Ever since the be-
ginning Of the present war they
have attempted to dominate Scan
dinavia and to control both the po-
itical and economic policies of the
Scandinavian states.
That pressure on those states has
been steadily increasing and. as is
now well known, she claims to ex-
ercise the right to dictate policy as
she did towards Finland during the
Finnish Soviet War.
Recalls Warning
He Gave In March.
The House will recall that in the
statement I made at the end of that
war on the 18th Of March I used
the following words:
What is the result to Scan.
dinavia? The security of Finland
has gone, but has the security of
Norway and Sweden been preserved? !?
On the contrary, the danger has
been brought closer to those two
countries until today it stands on
their doorstep"
After expressing sympathy with
those states to whom said the issue
OF the war could not be a matter of
indifference, I concluded:
Nothing can or will save them
but the determination to defend
themselves and to join with others
who are ready to aid them in their
defense"
Some of my listeners may have
thought these words exaggerated,
but now we see the fulfillment to
the letter of the prophecy they con-
tanned. Since that date the situa-
ton has further developed, as was
pointed out in a statement issued by
his majesty's government today.
The German government have
claimed and exercised the right to
destroy neutral, and particularly
Scandinavian, shipping on the seas
around this country by all means in
their power. But, at the same time,
they have insisted on the strict OBJ
servance of the rules Ct neutrality
when this would provide some ad-
vantage to them, as 1t did in Nor
wegian waters.
The allies then decided that they
could not recognize indefinitely this
state Of affairs, and having given
notice to the Norwegian government
that they reserved the right to take
such measures as might be neces-
sary to redress the balance thus
weighted against themselves, they
laid mineflelds in Norwegian waters
so as to prevent the unhindered
passage Of German trafilc through
them, while in no way interfering
with normal Norwegian trade.

It remains to say that his majes-
