quest. the Senate Labor Commit
tee yesterday approved a bill to
provide $3.50 900, 900 a year in Fed

control, and these are the only
schools that are free, tax-supported
schools. The greatest number of
our children attend these schools.
1t Is quite possible that private
schools, whether they are denom-
national schools - Catholic, Epis-
copalian, Presbyterian, Methodist,
or whatever-or whether they are
purely academic, may make great
contribution to the public school
systems, both on the lower levels
and on the higher levels.
They will be somewhat freer to
develop new methods and to try
experiments, and they will serve as
yardsticks in the competitive area
of creating better methods Of
imparting knowledge.
This, however, is the very reason
why they should not receive Federal
funds; in fact, no tax funds of any
kind.
The separation Of church and
state is extremely important to
any of us who hold to the original
traditions of our Nation. To change
these traditions by changing our
traditional attitude toward public
education would be harmful, think,
to our whole attitude of tolerance in
the religious area.
If we look at situations which
have arisen in the past in Europe
and other world areas, I think we
will see the reasons why 1t Is wise
to hold to our early traditions.

Cardinals Letter to Mrs. Roosevelt
BY the Assoeiafed Press

NEW YORK, July 23.-The
tert OF Cardinal Spellman's let
ter to Mrs. Roosepelt tolloDs:
Dear Mrs. Roosevelt:
When, on June 23d in your
column MY DAY, you aligned
yourself with the author and other
proponents of the Barden bill and
condemned me for defending Catho-
lie children against those who
would deny them their constitu-
tional rights of equality with other
American children, you could have
acted only from misinformation,
ignorance or prejudice, not from
knowing and understanding.
1t is apparent that you did not
take the time to read my address
delivered at Fordham University;
and, in your column of July 18th,
you admitted that you did not
even carefully read and acquaint
yourself with the facts of the
Barden bill-the now famous. in
famous bill that would unjustly
discriminate against minority
groups of Americas children.
Unlike you, Mrs. Roosevelt, I
did not make a public statement
until l had studied every phrase
of the Barden bill; nor did I take
issue with a man because his faith
differed from mine. We differed,
CongressmaSl Barden and I, over
the unimpeachable issue Of equal
benefits and equal rights for all
Americas children.
web of Prejudice"
I had intended ignoring your
personal attack, but, as the days
passed and In two subsequent col
umns you continued your anti
Catholic campaign, I became con-
vinced that 1t was in the interest
of all Americans and the cause
of justice itself that your mis-
statements should be challenged
in every quarter of our country
where they have already spun and
spread thir web Of prejudice. I
have received hundreds Of mes
sages from persons of all faiths
demanding that I answer you. I
am, therefore, not free to ignore you.
You say you are against reli-
gious control Of schools which are
paid for by taxpayers money.
That is exactly what I. too op-
pose. But I am also opposed to
any bill that includes children
who attend parochial schools for
the purpose of receiving funds
from the Federal Government
while 1t excludes these same chill
dren from the distribution and
benefits of the funds allocated.
I believe that If the Federal
Government provides a bottle of
milk to each child in a public
school it should provide milk for
all school children. I believe that
If Federal funds are used to trans
port children to public schools they
should be used to transport paro-
chial school children. I believe If
through the use of Federal funds
the children who attend public
schools are immunized from con-
tagious diseases that all children
should be protected from these
diseases.
Cites High Court Ruling.
Taxation without representation
is tyranny" was the cry that reused
and rallied our pioneer Americans
to fight for justice. Taxation with
out participation should rouse to-
days Americans to equal ardor to
protest an injustice that would de-

No Public Response
To Cardinal Planned
By Mrs. Roosevelt
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, July %. Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt will not re-
ply publicly to a statement by
Francis Cardinal Spellman criti-
cizing her for opposing Federal
aid to Catholic schools.
Malvina Thompson, secretary of
President Roosevelt's widow, said
last night Mrs. Roosevelt would
make mo comment whatsoever
on the cardinals statement.
The New York archbishop, in a
letter to Mrs. Roosevelt which he
made public yesterday, attacked
Mrs. Roosevelt for opposing Fed
eral funds for parochial and pri-
vate schools in her daily news
paper column.
Whatever you say in the fu-
ture," Cardinal Spellman wrote,
''your record of anti-Catholicism
stands for all to sea record
which you yourself wrote on the
pages Of history which cannot be
recalled-documents of discrim-
ination unworthy of an American
mother"
Mrs. Roosevelt's secretary said
she would answer the cardinals
letter, but would not make her
reply public.
In her column of June %. in
which she expressed opposition to
the use of Federal aid funds for
non-public schools. Mrs. Roosevelt
wrote:
"The separation of church and
state is extremely important to
any of us who hold to the orig
inal traditions of our Nation. To
change these traditions by chang
ing our traditional attitude toward
public education would be harm
full, I think, to our whole attitude
of tolerance in the religious area" ="
The organization, Protestants
and Other Americans United for
Separation of Church and State,
jumped into the dispute with a
statement that Federal funds for
parochial schools would violate the
first constitutional amendment by
discrimination in favor of par
ticular religious group"
THE friends of Federal aid to
public education" the group said,
will be defeating their own pur-
pose If they decide that the only
way they can obtain Federal aid
is to pay the ransom demanded
by the Roman Catholic HER
archy."

even some newspapers which nor

not overenthusiastic about it.
The Conservative Daily Mail

it lacks the fire and inspiration

Mr.. Churchill declared that
workers who had been most anxious
for naturalization now are dis
illusioned with the results. They
will find, he said, they have traded
private enterprise for an all

once it is thoroughly established
can beat the worker down to the

more privations are inevitable un-

Welfare Services Backed.
Mr.. Churchill declared a Con-

is to let fall"
THE theory of socialism Is con-
