“The problem of the founders of
our government was intricate and
difficult. The chief object in those
days was to mold those liberty-lov
ing people who had come from the
four winds of the world to plain
homespun Americanism.
“Surely after that experience, we
are not at tiiis late day to attempt
to mold this new great American
race, sprung from all the nations of
the world, into an Anglo-Saxon ideal.
Even English statesmen have real
ized only recently the impossibility
of making nations, which they re
gard as subject, nforin to their
ideal. Those of yolt who are of
Irish blood need no additional com
mentarv upon the truth of that fact.
“If there be an clement in this
country now disdainful of what the
significance of Patriot’s Day means
who mask under an attempt at in

minimize the achievements of the
forefathers of New England, may it
he our solemn duty and mission to
so withstand their effort and raise
our children that that type of flunk-
yism and toadyism will never de

the charlatans, the quicks. Real
scientists, like real theologians, are
retiring, humble, devout, quiet, re
spectful, testing their theories for a
considerable period before putting
them forward as incontestable
truths. Such, for instance, is Ma

“But the propagandist, whether
he he seientis or thologian, is of
quite a different stamp. He is usual

He is noisy, proud, swaggering, ir
religious, scoffing, iutollerant, rush
ing into print, constantly putting
forward unsound and unvired views
Such, for instance, is Mr. H. G.
Wells, already quoted, who also was
a visitor to this country last year,
and who for some reason not yet ex
plained suddenly left this country.
Between the real scientists and the
quack scientist, between the haughty
Wells and the humble Madame Curie,
there is a gulf so wide that it can

London—Although Premier Lloyd
George is a Welsh Baptist of the
stricter sort he seems, on the whole,
to have had a strong private friend
ship" for Catholics, and a Catholic
can generally be discovered floating
around somewhere in tile prime min
ister's entourage.
During the recent famous period
of political convalescence down at
Criccieth there was a small house
party at Mr. Lloyd George’s private
residence, among the members being
some famous English musicians who
got up a sacred concert for the pre
mier’s behalf. The concert was to
have been given in the local Angli
can church, bui the divine in charge
would not hear to it, and so the per
formance was given in a non-epis-
copal conventicle. But what emerg
ed from this incident was that the
accompaniment was conducted by
Dr. Terry, the musical director of
Westminster Cathedral, who is a
close friend of the premier.
One of the close friends of the
prime minister is His Eminence Car
dinal Gasquet, who is a frequent
caller at Downing Street when in
England. Mr. Lloyd George is cred
ited with being an admirer of the
cardinal’s many writings, aud it has
been said that there is not a book
written by Cardinal Gasquet that
the premier has uot read with at
tention.
It was to Cardinal Gasquet, too,
that Premier Lloyd George is report
ed to have made his remark that
the Welsh people had never really
assimilated the Protestant Refermo-
tion; a statement that is well borne
out by the way the Catholic revival
lias seized hold of the Welsh people
since the restoration of the Catho
lie hierarchy in the principality.
His Telegram to Cardiff.
There is something, too, to be gain
ed of the prime minister’s attitude
towards the Catholic church iu the
famous telegram he sent to Car
diff, on the occasion of the en-
thrownment of Monsignor Mostyn as
Archbishop of the Metropolitan
of Wales. After comment
ing on the fact that it was
a Dative son of Wales that had been
promoted by the Holy See to this
high ecclesiastical dignity, the prime
minister went on to point out tiiat
the attempts to secure a Welsh Met-
ropolitauship, which had been cou-
-ducted at Rome in the 12th century
by the famous Gerald and Welshman
had been conceded by Rome in the
20th century.
Nor does the premier seem averse
to have a Catholic in close attention
upon himself. The most successful
of all his private seertaries, Mr.
Philip Kerr, who as political private
secretary to the British prime min
ister has been very closely associat
ed with his chief in important in
ternational political events since
1918, is a Catholic and an old pupil
of the Oratorian Fathers at their
famous school founded by Cardinal
Newman at Birmingham.

years ago in. parliament when the
present premier, who was then an
ordinary member of the cabinet,
came out very strongly if not on
the side of the Catholics, at least i
opposition tc. a certain section of
the Anglicans.
The occasion was when tire bill
for the disestablishment of the An-
glician church in Wales was before
the house, and one of the members
of the Cecil family was heard to
speak of such matters as sacrilege
and the spoliation of the church.
At once Lloyd George leaped to
his feet, and with scorn in his every
word asked how the House of Cecil
came to acquire its vast possessions
—for it is a well known fact of his
tory that the Marquesses of Salis
bury waxed fat on the plunder of
the abbeys and monasteries under
Henry VIII. and-his daughter Eliza
beth. Thus were the tables turned
on the holders of church lands who
spoke of ecclesiastical spoliation.
Acts Favored Catholics.
On the whole Premier Lloyd
George is not regarded with disfavor
by Catholics in these islands. In
the face of a strong and organized
Protestant opposition, both in and
out of parliament, he refused tz
abolish the British legation to the
Holy See lo please a handful of sec
taries.
Nor can it be forgotten that it was
under the premiership of Mr. Lloyd
George that the Catholic community
in the Island of Malta secured self-
government, and that special diree-
MASSACHUETTS CHURCH
A BOfilDED WAREHOUSE!
Gloucester, Mass:—The Church c£
Our Lady of Good Voyage, of which
the Rev. Francis V. De Bern is pas
tor, has been designated a bonded
warehouse of the United States in
order that a new set of bells might
he kept there rather than in the
federal customs house, pending a de
cision as to whether or not a duty
of from thirty to forty per cent
shall he levied on them.
The earillion, valued at $15,000,
was ordered from England and re
ceived here some time ago. Cus
toms officials decided they were
dutiable, whereupon the congrega
tion, which is composed chiefly of
Portuguese, was placed in a dilem
ma as to where to procure the
money.
Customs officials discovered that
a private individual or corporation
might be designated as a bonded
warehouse of the United States and
the necessary formality was gone
through to designate the church as
such. The congregation has given
a bond of $15,000, and the bells
have been brought to Gloucester
where they will be hung as soon as
a new tower is constructed.
