ministrations to the sick and injur
ed.
She was declared by the late
Mayor Tom L. Johnson to have
been Cleveland’s foremost citizen.
The tribute came from the then
mayor who was asked by a newspa

cardinals in ermine, patriarchs in
white patriarchial bonnets, stewards
and spangled Swiss guards. Impres
sively, the procession passed
through the portico into the basili
ca, and there the entrance of the
Pope was greeted by cheers from
30 000 throats.
The Pope sat in the throne chair
and the Sistine chapel choir sang.
Then the Pope arose, stepped down,
and mixed the mortar which was
used in sealing the door. He re
turned and sang the “Te Ileum,” his
voice ringing out firm and strong,
and the crowd answered like one
man.
As the door, bearing a cross,
swung into position, the church
hells again rang out, and the famous
chorus sang again.
The Aftermath of Locarno--What?
Every lover of peace—and what
Christian is not?—rejoices at any
sincere effort to reduce the possi-
bilties of war and bloodshed. There
would seem to he no reason wliy
men should not live together in
peace and harmony as brothers, in
stead of stirring up those racial
hatreds which lie all too close to
the surface in human nature. The
dally papers have been filled with
accounts of the treaties which the

seven great powers have recently
concluded at Locarno, and natural
ly, all hope they will prove a long
step forward. However, these arc
only initial efforts and before true
peace can be stablilised in Europe
or in the world, much more remains
to be done. Indeed, the statesmen
gathered at Locarno recognise this
fact and already thcr e is talk of a
new treaty which shall include Rus
sia in its scope. This is fraught
with the greatest significance.
Everyone knows that the policy
of the present Russian government
is anti-religious. One needs only
to read the Soviet laws concerning
religion for proof. The rest of the
world, however, is not disposed to
accept into the family of nations
one which, even if it grants reli
gion no favours, does not at least,
permit its people the free exercise
of their beliefs. Russia, doubtless,
will learn this and in order to lake
her place—great and honourable as
it should be—will make concessions
in this particular.
Except as individuals Catholics are
not concerned with polities, or with
the exact terms of treaties, but as
members of the Catholic Church we
are concerned with helping the Ho
ly Father in his God-appoinled task
of bringing all men unto the One
Fold under the One Shepherd. We
know how he longs to see the great
Russian people once more within the
True Church. We know how he has
h.-yled as “providential” the Catlio’^.'
Union, a society for the reunion
with Holy Church of the separated
brethren of Russia and the Near
East. This society, which has just
opened its North American head
quarters at 50 Union Square, New
York, lias been organised in Eu
rope for about two years and lias
enlisted the sympathy and support
of many members of the Sacred
College and other prominent prelates
on both sides of the Atlantic. It
is engaged in the work of helping
His Holiness to found and maintain
a special seminary in Rome for
the education of Russian priests who
shall go back to their own land as
apostles of reunion.
