since his assignment to that see in
1916.
The Archbishop's lecture also
demanded more food and housing
for the working classes. Without
homes there can be no families,
consequently no religion, morals,
nor country,"s he declared.
Workers need wholesome, abun-
dant and nourishing bread, he
said. The fancy breads now sold to
the rich should be eliminated and
exports limited Ito what we can
sell with honor" he added. Fur
thermore, we should condemn to
corporal penalties those who
fatten themselves at the expense
of the people"
Archbishop 0laeehea stated that
both the government and the
church had made strong efforts
to create suitable housing for the
people. But much remains to be
done, he said. Lowcost housing
must be made available which will
not consume more than one-fifth of
the laborer's wage, he stated.

Spanish PreIate Describes
Condition of Working Class

MADRID - CNC) = Some Span
ish workers today consider them
selves Slaves" who are not bought
and sold as of old but rented"
by management.
This statement of the Spanish
workers case was given by Arch
bishop Marcelino 0laechea Loizaga
of Valencia during a lecture at the
"Patronal Social Institute" in Va
lencia. The lecture has now been
printed in EccleSid here, the organ
of Spanish Catholic Action
Archbishop Olaechea stated that
his report on the feelings of labor
was based upon findings obtained
by well educated and good workers
who searched Into the hearts of
workers"
"Valencian workers are not po-
litical either in heart or mind" the
Archbishop said. They lack conf
dence in trade unions, and consider
them to be basically political
agents of management. | am not
referring to apprentices or young
workers.
"The workers want a change,
without knowing what. Like a sick
person tossing around, they consid-
er management and the wealthy a
hindrance to them. They view the
army and the Church as support
ers of these. They are against them
in the following order: manage
ment, the wealthy, the Church
which they do not respect-and
the army, which they fear.
Workers feel that the minimum
salary is starvation wage and con-
Sequently unjust. Without taking
into account either the civil war or
World War ii, they consider their
plight the result of greed by man
agement and of luxury and lavish
ness by the wealthy.
Because of the deductions from
their wages, the workers do not
appreciate the social benefits, al
though they take advantage of
them. These are family subsidies,
strike, accident, old age. sickness
and death insurances. They feel
that if in addition to their present
salary they were given another
wage, equalIing the amount taken
out by taxes, then they would have
fair salary"
The Archbishop said the workers
do not believe in God, and consider
priests "idlers in the service of
management, the wealthy and the
government" Despite their jesting
at the chastity Of priests and ridi-
culing monks, the Archbishop said,
"it is not uncommon for workers
to speak we'll of certain priests and
of the charity of other priests"
Many workers "steal from their
firms whatever they conveniently
can, as though they we're obtaining
secret compensation" Archbishop
0laechea declared Their main con-
Germ is not to get caught, he add
ed.
More than wage iniustiees, the
Archbishop declared, the workers
"hate the arrogance of manage,
ment and its despotic behavior"
