Catholic Thought And Opinion
Ry REV. JOSEPH 5. DoNNELLY

tlona trying today Co win tho ssln- port og Che Holy See Co their stand, Yesterday they were telling tfe Holy Father to mind his own business, Tho implous planners of twenty-five years ago wanted no spiritual Au. thority interfering ln thelr prated defense Of Chrlstendogn,
 The Treaty Of London enacted se- cretly on April 20, lDiB declared in Article iB. France, ureAt Britain and Russia shall support such op. position as Italy may make to any proposal in the direction of intro- duclng representatives of the Holy Sec in any peace negotiations or regulations for the settlement of questions raised by the present war" And In Article 1e they added in seeming shame, 'The present ar- rangement shall be held secret" So the door was locked and barred Co any spiritual authority and we know that though wo won the war we lost the peace.
 ALWAYS PUTTING IN"
 Twenty-Five years ago when these self-styled champions of the Chrls- tan ideals of justice liberty, civili- gation and democracy had won their chance to rebuild the world they inc sisted that Gods world was to be rebuild by men without the help of God. Tn lei7 when the peace pros posals of Benedict XIV were pub- llshed, Ambassador Jusserand called on President Wilson at the White House to comment favorably upon them only to receive the impatient reply Catholics were shocked to hear Monsignor Sheen quote 1t yer. batim on e Catholic Hour broadcast last year-"Why does he want to butt in2"
 Poor noble Benedlctl It seems he was always "buting in"--like His Master. The voice was another ery- ing In the wilderness, crying for charity and justice and respect for the law of God, but like the voice of the Baptist 1t twas soon silenced. However, the Church, as always, has lived to see the world acknowledge It's error and In the person of Win. ston Churchill admit that If the pro- posals had been adopted the pres- ent tragedy would have been avoid- cd.
 DIVIDING THE sP0ILS
 When the same proposals were in- corporated into wilson's famous Fourteen Points MT, Clemenceau, the Father Of Victory" who also objected to the Pope'S "butting in, tossed Mir. Wilson's Points Into the waste basket Of Versailles Hall of Mirrors, hatred and vengeance had their day--aIld the boys sat down to dole out the spoils. Until that hour every treaty enacted in Europe since the dawn of Christianity had begun with the words, "In the name of the Most High and Undivided Trinity" this one which was to make the world safe for Christian democracy began with the words Tn the name of the High Contracting Parties"
 But man proposes and God diSs poses" and man without God sired from the war to end all wars the worse period of conflict in history. A tragedy indeedl But not too great . tragedy if from it men have learned. We wonder If they have, Perhaps we'll have another chance to rebuild the world. When that time comes we shall know. Tn the meantime VIC must work and pray.

Rev. {. N. DOnnelIy

Rev. ,. F. DonnelIy it would indI. cate approval by tho Vatican of the present policies of the Japanese government.
 Archbishop .spellman preaching in st, ratriei's Cathedral in New York, declared that such an inter~ pretatlon of acceptance Of relations with Japan by the Vatican is false and unfair. A neutral State must accept on ambassador from any na- ton that chooses to send one and such acceptance does not involve the recognition of the justice or the injustice of that nations cause in war. The acceptance by the Holy Soc of 6 diplomatic mission from Japan certainly does not mean the approval of the policies of Japan, and fair mind cannot arrive at such conclusions fin the face Of the many and fearlessly expressed con- dGmnatlonS of aggression and the suppression of human rights of Plus KIT. Qulte to the contrary the announcement by tho Vatican that the Apostolic Delegate to tho Philippines will remain in Manila is an explicit refusal by Rome to recognize the right of Japan in che Philippines. ON WHOSE SIDE
 IS THE POPE?
 When his efforts for peace were blasted by war, Plus XII in this war, as Benedict XIV in the last enlisted all the facilities of the Church to aid the unfortunate victims of the war. With divine guidance he has kept to c path of strict neutrality. He is the spiritual father of Chris tendon. His children arc in oil the lands that have gone to war. Tn war the duty of the Vicar of the Prince of Peace is to work and pray for the settlement of the disputes that have led men to war and to suffering humanity in every way possible,
 Because of it's diplomatic contacts with tho nations involved the Vati- can has already been able to be Of service to oil, And perhaps the most convincing proof of this ben- eyolent attitude is found in the fact that relations with NaA Germany have been maintained by the Vati- can in spite of the fact that in the past few years the Church has suf- fored more in lands controlled by the Nazis than in any place in the world.

Spies Active for
Over Two Years

N7AR against the United States
wv did not start with the Jap
anese attack on Pearl Harbor. 1t
had been in active progress for over
two years.
Our internal enemies-agents of
Japan, Germany, and Italy had
been increasingly active. So charges
the report of B. Edwin Sackett,
former special agent in charge of
the New York division of the
F.BI., whose detailed report of
smashing the Nazi spy ring ap-
pears in the March issue of Co.'S
mopolitan magazine.
Sackett describes in his article
the roundup of the largest group
of espionage agents in American
history, 33 in all, who were trapped
by thorough-going, meticulous
work of the F.B.I. With them
worked William G. Sebold, a Ger
man-born, naturalized American
citizen who was trapped by the
Gestapo on a visit to his homeland.
The German secret service enlisted
the services of the one-time air.
craft mechanic to obtain detailed
plans of American defenses. But
they were foiled.
Once he was back in New York,
Sebold told his story to the F.BI.,
and their collaboration resulted in
the startling expose last June.
Sackett relates how Sebold was
given detailed instructions when he
left Germany. Included were plans
for a short-wave set direct to Ger
many, names of secret agents to
contact in New York. These in
structions Sebold carried out, but
with the full knowledge of the
F.B.I.
Sebold, Sackett says, met the Sc
cret agents, talked with them and
gave them spurious information.
But each meeting was recorded by
F.B.I. motion picture cameras, clev-
erly concealed. Further counter
espionage efforts included constant
surveillance of dozens of people;
secret codes; invisible inks, micro
photographs the size of pinhead.
And after over year and half's
work, the agents were trapped.
The case was airtight. The jury
found all the defendants guilty. The
largest espionage ring in Amer
ica's modern history was finally
liquidated - the American way =
through a fair trial before a jury
instead Of death before = firing

Helene Rubinsfein-
A Lady of Legend

ONE of the fundamentals of
" Helena Rubinstein's character
is her common sense. Much has
been written about this high priest
ess of American beauty, and her
interpreters are fond of picturing
her as a financial wizard with an
uncanny talent for shifting profits.
Such is not the case, states Eliz-
abeth Dunn in the March issue of
Cosmopolitan magazine. Helena
Rubinstein, she writes, has more
horse sense in the right frontal
lobe of her brain than most people
have in their whole heads. She has
salons in twelve or fourteen cities;
her creams, lotions, and other prep
arations are sold on shop counters
the world over-the result of over
forty years of hard work.

A MARCH DAY

The blow on Thursday, amount
ing to a blizzard in some places,
was not so severe here as else
where only breaking off few
limbs. The cloud seemed to break
before it reached us, the heavier
part, that containing the heavy
thunder, rolling off to the south of
us, to unite in greater energy
further on down the Peninsula. A
noticeable feature was, immediate
ly preceding the big blow, several
hundred buzzards, whether driven
by the supper current flying with
all speed to a place of safety. 1t
was a typical March day. The
morning was bright and spring
like. BY noon the wind had begun
to rise. Shortly after two o'clock
a thunder sqquall appeared in the
west; it swept down upon us with
heavy wind and rain but the rain
soon turned to snow and hail and
by night bright sunset lighted up
the heavens. During the night
the cold winds came and Friday
morning found people shivering
with cold, and thermometer 20 de-
grees. Another light snow on Sum-
day was followed Monday by
weather almost as cold.
