A GOOD OLD-FASHIONED
REVIVAL NOW NEEDED


REVIVAL NOW NEEDED
WHAT AMERICA again badly
needs is responsibility to a Christian
Cod
That statement was made to me
q year ago by Daniel Schuyler,
prominent Chicago attorney.
"a good, old-fashioned revival.
with all America on its knees at the
mourners bench, would come nearer
to putting this nation back on an
even keel than any political dogma,
he continued. ''It would squelch the
growing class consciousness. 1t
would stop the mad craze for wealth
and position. It would cause each of
us to think Of his fellow man in
terms of Christian charity. It would
restore our belief in the cardinal
virtues. Yes, we need more than
anything else good, old-fashioned
revival"
l know Daniel Schuyler very well.
He is not what I would call a re-
igious man, and / am not sure that
he is a member Of any church. He
is student Of government and or
dered society, and was thinking Of
that "good, old-fashioned revival"
from the standpoint of its effect on
our relation to government. He saw
in religion, in a feeling of respon-
sibility to a Christian God, vital
part in our philosophy of govern
ment.
was reminded of that statement
by Daniel Schuyler q few days ago
when w. o. Hart, editor of the
Orange (Calif.) Daily News, said to
me:
"The American people should
again get back to that sublime faith
in a Supreme Being which was the
guiding beacon of our forefathers.
We need to feel a responsibility to
Creator in order that we may have
a feeling Of responsibility to our
government and to our fellow men.
Such a condition would save the
civilization we know. We need to
make sacrifices, but to do that, we
need an aroused spirituality"
Both men, one in Chicago and
the other in California, were seeing
the subject from a governmental
viewpoint. Both see in a .good, old
fashioned revival a means Of saw
ing American civilization as we
have known it.
If you will analyze the statements
of these two individuals, you will
find they represent an ideal philos-
ophy Of government.
THE PEACE RUMORS may all
be German propaganda, but Hitler
would not be averse to negotiated
peace while he can dictate the
terms. He would undoubtedly be
satisfied if allowed to keep what he
has, with few colonies thrown in
for good measure.

NOBODY:
Satisfied

The passage by the house mill
tary affairs nmittee of report
condemning a long list of persons
and agencies as having bungled the
national defense showed a puzzled
public that apparently nobody was
satisfied with the way our prepara-
tons were being managed.
The house committee attacked the
administration, the defense advisory
commission, the army, the navy,
OPM, the maritime commission and
the state department and Secretary
Ickes.
The President, it said, had been
too prone, when new problems
arose, just to name another board,
with the result that endless compli-
cations and confusion had arisen to
slow progress.
And barking back to the President
himself, it was recalled that he, too,
had declared himself far from
pleased with the way things were
going, just day or two before the
house committee reported.
william Knudsen, head Of OPM,
reported defense production lag
ging; Leon Henderson, price con-
troll man, was pegging the prices of
tires and tubes and threatening in
other directions; the maritime COM
mission was displeased with the ship
owners and Secretary Ickes was
having a hard time with the ma
tons oil men. ~
Defense plant heads, seeking
places for their workers to live near
their work, were falling out with the
federal housing men, and It was
hard to find anybody that was
pleased with anything in the defense
set-up-giving the press and speak
ers who were opposed to the New
Deal handling of the whole show
plenty Of material for their attacks
on its policies.

Nye, a veteran of twenty years in the United States Senate, is one of the most influential members of that body, and is regarded as one of its outstanding orators. He has consistently championed legislation designed to alleviate the plight of he underprivileged, and was recently characterized by Rev. James M, Gillis, editor of the Catholic World" as "a great American, 6 man to whose memory monument may some day be erected"
 Nye served as chairman of the Teapot Dome Investigating Commit tee, the group whose activities were largely responsible for uncovering evidence in the unsavory affair that shocked the nation almost two de- ades ago. In his capacity as chair man of the Munitions Investigating committee at the conclusion of the last war, the Senator from North Dakota gained an insight into war motives that prompted him to write the present neutrality act. Another contribution made by Senator Nye was the Restriction of War Profits bill.
 Together with Senator D. Worth Clark, Nye is at present engaged in Investigating the dissemination of war propaganda in the motion pie ture industry. He has always been an implacable foe of communism, and has repeatedly lent support to the Dies committee.

traordinary man.
 "One does not ask him anymore where he sleeps. Everyone knows, however, that his bed Is never touched, nor has he 8 couch, nor even an easy chair. He has been seen resting at night at the foot of the altar. He keeps long vigils either in the church or at the bed- side of dying patient. Before five o'clock in the morning he is always at his prie-dieu in the church. He is always active and cheerful" RAYMOND GRAM
 SWINGS REPORT
 To MT. Swings report that "the Russian Primate conducted high Mass in the Moscow Cathedral which was attended by 12,000 worshippers while thousands more gathered out side, the Russian correspondent of the London Catholic Herald states that from personal knowledge he is able to affirm that since the demo- lition of the only really large Cathe- dral, that of Christ the Saviour in Moscow. there is no church in the city which could contain 12,000 wor- shippers or even 2,000 worshippers. Thus the report is but piece of propaganda intended for earnest but naive Christians in England and America"
 But the campaign continues, more recently in the United States but for some time now in England, to foster the view that there is no real persecution of religion in the Soviet, or the more diluted view that if there ever was such persecution all traces of it are being washed away in semi-religious war-revival.
 There is no doubt that the Rus- sian people have in surprising pro- portion kept their religion in spite of the persecution. This proportion Is estimated as high as two-thirds of those in the country and one third of the city residents. But while we may hope for change of government policy we have little grounds for that hope. The same correspondent of the Catholic Her aid recalls the statement of Soviet official he interviewed last August. "As you know, the official stated, i've regard religion as at best a su- perstition and at worst as an instru- ment for doping the toiling masses whilst the priviledged class exploits them"
 Thus the new Champions of Christianity.

METAL CONCERN
 VITALLY NEEDED
General Rutherford Gives Interesting Testimony
 to Congressman Smith
Special to The Democrat,

Washington, D. C., oct. l4.-Ques- tioning by Congressman J. Joseph Smith of Waterbury yesterday brought from Brigadier- General Harry K. Rutherford, executive of- ficer to UnderSecretary of War the staetment that the expanding de- fense program will make 1t neces- sary to utilize "all metal manufac- turing concerns" in the country This would affect many plants in Connecticut, particularly in Water bury and the Naugatuck Valley.
 General Rutherford was a witness as a subcommittee of the House Committee on Military Affairs held hearing on the desirability of spreading defense contracts as much as possible. He warned against "overemphasis" on the scattering of contracts and the placing of sub- contracts, claiming 1t would be 'short-Sighted and might be dis astrous".
 The most important need at the rnomentiis is to produce vital defense materials as quickly as possible, said General Rutherford. With this in view, he stated, the disadvantages as well as the advantages of sub- contracts must be realized.
 Asked Congressman Smith:
 Do you think our munitions pro- duction will reach a point where all metal manufacturing concerns will be needed? Do you think the volume or production will be such that there will be @ place for all these metal manufacturing con- cerns?"
 T very definitely belieev so," Gen. Rutherford replied.
 Meantime the War Department was announcing that munitions are now being turned out on mass production basis.

 He further protested against the repeated conflscation of Inonasteries and convents. "T.he inmates, blame. less men and women, members of honorable German families, some of whose relatives are fighting for Germany as soldiers, are being rob- bed of their homes and their pro- perties and being thrown into the streets and banished from their home provinces"
 PERHAPS A CONCENTRATION CAMP
 The Bishop fearlessly states that he fully appreciates that because he speaks the truth he too may be car- ried off to a concentration camp, and adds, that because then he could llVs pEOtcSbp IC WA4l uSG 4sA0 PAVScAst liberty to publicly protest.

 The present instance is another of the many instances when Church. men ln Germany have stood cour- ageously and without fear, to pro- test She many offenses of the Ger man State. The heroism of Bishop von Galen will live in history. With out fear of consequences he has re. fused to compromise his obligation toward the spiritual welfare of his people.

 MIR. ALBERT ETNsTEIN ADMTREs
 Long ccntemptuous of the Church MT. Einstein has found that the gods he worshipped had feet of clay and could not stand in the hour of con- flict. The Messenger Of East St. Louis printed the following confess sion.
 Being a lover of freedom, when the revolution came to Germany, l looked to the universities to, defend it, knowing that they had always hoasted of their devotion to the cause of truth; but no, the univer- sities were immediately silenced. Then, I looked to the great editors of the newspapers whose flaming editorials in days gone by had pro- claimed their love of freedom; but they, like the universities were si- fenced in 6 few short weeks. Only the church. stood squarely across the path of Hitler'g campaign for expressing truth. I never had any special interest in the church before, but now feel a great admiration and affection because the church alone has had the courage and per- sistence to stand for intellectual truth and moral freedom. l am forced to confess that what I once despised, now praise unreserved- lyp
 Tn the past this admiration, new to Mir. Einstein, has led greater scoffers than he down the well-trod- den path to Truth.
 THE DODGERS HAVEN'T
 GOT THE STUFF
 So read the leading headline in the Notre Dame Religious Bulletin Q week before the World Series. But the story continued as follows: "1t's in the cards that there will be dodg- CTS of the Mission. They haven't got the stuff-to face their souls or God. So instead of blaming themselves they will dodge the Mis- sion, and as an alibi will use all sorts of execuses."
 Not a new, but a too frequent spe" cies of dodgers who are ever ready to sideStep their responsibilities to themselves and to God.
 THE SAINT AMONG
 THE LEPERS
 To leaye all behind and to choose to live among the cast-offs of society in the leper colony at Moiokai, and eventually to die as one of them, this in worldly eyes is the extreme of foolishness.\ But @ great love of Christ has many times moved mems hearts not only to willingness but to a desire for such noble sacrifice.
 Four priests of the Hawaiian Is- lands have petltioned to be the suc- cessor of the present successor of the great Father Damien. The pas- tor of the leper colony for the past nineteen years has been the French priest Father Peter d'Orgeval. Dec- orated six times for bravery during the last war, Father Peter resigned the pastorate of Q parish in Paris to volunteer for work among the lepers.
