and we may not refuse our love to any man."
 Totalitarian regimes made ap- parent concessions to women, mot out of respect for their dignity but as an attempt to foster the eco- homie and military power of the state by getting their votes" he said, pointing out that a wom- ans motherly instinct warns her against those evils of social and political order which threaten her family, but it does not give her an understanding of the United Ma tions organization or the Papal peace program He urged all Cath olic women, seeking their rightful place as leaders in the battle for Christian world, to form discus sion clubs, and follow the peace plans worked out by the leaders of the Catholic Church.
 Bishop Lucey denied the non sensical" charges that the church is entering the field of politics
 Christian principles must con- trol human acts in every depart ment of life, however" he pointed out, land politics is no exception. The Catholic church is the inter preter of natural and divine law and therefore the forms of con- duct which she proclaims for pub lie and private life must be ob- served in all human relations"
 Most Rev. Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, archbishop of Laodicea and apostolic delegate to the United States, following the celebration Of the Mass, told the delegates:
 Tt is from God that you have your exalted dignity as women, wives and mothers" he said. 'To you belong the inalienable rights of the spiritual training of your children and of their education. Exercise these rights with great care, defend them in public and private, for they come to you from nature and from God

Ne7C World Responsibility Of Women, Delegates Told

The responsibilities of American women in rebuilding the world on a foundation of Christian peace and brotherhood were emphasized yesterday by Catholic leaders at sessions of the twenty-third bi- ennial convention of the National Council of Catholic Women in Kansas City, Mo. More than 900 Catholic women are present.
 Miss Lucy Bowes, of Waterville Street, chairman of the local coun- cil, and Miss Catherine Maloney, a member of the executive board, are among Connecticut delegates at tending the convention, which will terminate tonight.
 Before a capacity crowd of dele gates applauding loudly, the Most Rev. Robert E. Lucey, archbishop Of San Antonio, Texas, stated the church's position very bluntly with regard to Soviet Russia, and charged that the representative of Russia are devious, inSolent and abusive, using words that have no meaning.
 Working for Justice
 The nations of the west, for all the weakness and blundering of their statesmen, are making earnest efforts to write peace treaties which will be instruments of justice and tranquility instead of hatred and conflict" he declared. But the gov ernment of Russia, atheistic, com munistic and imperialistic, stands in the way"
 Their representatives number Russia among the democracies Of the world as though the citizen slaves of that tyrannical govern ment enjoyed even a minimum of human rights. They condemn fas- cism with monotonous insistency, but if that much-abused word sig nifies a totalitarian regime which rules its subjects by force and des- potism that Fascist government is in Moscow.
 They accuse the West of i'm 1erialism and their own armies oc- upy friendly countries against the vill of the people.
 For years they have condemned ouppet governments and the whole world knows that the unspeakable tyrants of Eastern and Southeast ern Europe are puppets of the xremlin.
 Tn the face of all this is there ny wonder that public opinion is ometimes divided, baffled and con- lsed?"
 IsolatiOnism Wrong Road
 Striking hard at isolationism, 3ishop Lucey declared mo decent American, certainly no Christian man or woman would cite the prob lems of America itself as an ex- cuse for letting Europe stew in it's own juice. Catholic people should be internationalists by instinct and conviction. We know that all men of the world are children of God
