New York.—How the Catholic
press of the United States is sup
plied with the news of the world
was described to the radio audience
tonight during the N. C. W. C. Study
Club Hour program broadcast from
Station WLWL. the Paulist Fathers
Station here. The speaker said in
part:
“The budget of 34,000 words of
news sent to ils seventy-seven sub
scribing papers last week by the
News Service of Catholic papers whs
a Chronicle of Catholic events and
activities in practically every part
of Ihe world. It was a chronicle
such as Catholic readers could find
in no secular .journal. This news of
the Catholic world was gathered and
written by capable journalists on
Ihe spot it was edited in Washing-
Ion bv experts. It was an authen-
tft-, accurate and dependable ac
count of the week’s Catholic events
and affairs at home and abroad. In
this budget there was news from
London, England; Paris, France,
Louvain and Brussels, Belgium; Ma
drid, Spain: Vienna, Austria, Kau
nas. Lithuania; Prague, Czecho-Slo,
vakia; Jerusalem, Palestine, aiJcl
Guantanamo, Cuba. Regular corre
spondents in all of these places and
others, includng Italy, Mexico, Chi
na and the Philipines are every
week keeping American Catholics
informed of (he struggles and suc
cesses, the difficulties and defeats of
their fellows in many different
lands. In their turn, the corre
spondents in the United Stales are
reporting American Catholic life for
the benefit of Europeans and Aus
tralians. For Ihe News Service that
serves Catholic papers in Ibis coun
try has subsecribcrs in Ireland, Eng
land, Italy and Australia.
“No reader of the secular press of
the United Stales or Canada can re
ly on their reports of Catholic
events and activities. This does not
mean that American newspapers are
unfriendly or unfair in their alti
tude toward Hie Catholic*church. II
means only that in respect to the
news they publish from many Euro
pean and most Latin-American coun
tries Ihe newspapers of the United
Stales must depend on their dis
patches on men and agencies that
and unscrupulous in their methods
of dealing with Catholic subjects.
And there is another difficulty which
th secular editor—no matter what
his good wiTl is bound to encounter
in collecting and publishing news of

the Catholic church. Of all the news
that is printed Catholic news is per
haps the most technical. Even a rou
tine item may—-and often docs—in
volve a point of Catholic doctrine
or discipline. And Catholic doctrine
and discipline may be completely
misstated by the addition, the omis
sion. or the misuse of a single word.
It requires a knowledge of Catholic
teaching and practice to give a
j trustworthy account of things Cath-
i olic. The reporters and correspond-
lents of Ihe specular papers of the
United States as a rule have no such
j background. Whatever, then, may
|he their desire to be fair and faith-
: ful in (heir reporting of Catholic
news they lack the knowledge that
jis necessary to Ihe understanding
and performance of their task. A
Catholic news service for a Catholic
press and its Catholic readers is
• therefore as necessary and salutary
! as Catholic teachers in Catholic in-
! situations for Catholic youth.”
I After referring to and outlining the
I principal news stories carried by the
X C. W. C. News Service the preced
ing week, the speaker continued:
i. ‘Along with the budget of news
which the Catholic papers received
last week there was sent a monthly
editorial sheet. This is something
more Ilian its name indicates. In
j addition to editorials on timely sub-
jeets by competent writers there is a
! selection of special articles. There
I appeared on the editorial sheet also
ja wonderful story of the little babes
Of the lepers of Molokai. This told
of the way in which these children,
i themselves free from the horried dis
ease, arc taken as infants from their
i leprous parents and cared for by
: Catholic nuns. While in the care of
1 ihe Sisters these little ones are
tarined in religion and taught t‘o
I read and write and perform useful
tasks. ' Only once in two years do
I they see (heir fathers and mothers.
Then they are taken from their own
island, of KiJihi to the island of Mo-
'lukui. which we picture as the most
| dread spot on earth. Here the chil
dren sing and art little play s for
■tljeir parents, who known their own
by nuans of numbers which the tots
wear for identification. This story
is an epic of Christian charity and
heroism on the part of the nuns. If
! you haven t read it, you have de
prived yourself of information and
inspiration. Sketchy as this resume
! of the week’s Catholic news has
| been it has served, 1 1 rust,*1 o im
press on you the worth of your
Catholic paper.”
Dublin—Tihe number of American
visitors to Ireland this year will be
greater than for last summer by all
indications. Tire statistics regarding
American travelers in Europe in 1924
quite lately made available, show
what a huge economic asset 4hey
Were to Ihe old world. It is calculat
ed that they spent. $000,000,000. Over
300.000 persons left the Slates on
holiday Irips and in London alone
they disbursed about $100,000,000.
The number of Amercian lourists
goes up every year. From the begin
ning of 1925 up to the close of the
summer about 120,000 bad made a
stay in England. The proportion
coming lo Ireland grows larger each
time, and an' appreciable percentage
consists of Catholic clergy. Irish
hotels and motor-coaching firms are
already preparing for another big
season.
An indull, something granted by
favor, is a license or permiscion
granted by the Pope, whether to a
corporation or to an individual, au
thorizing something lo be done
which the common law of the
Church does not sanction. A famil
iar instance is I hat of the. Lenten
indulls, by which the Pope author
izes the bishops, according to the
circumstances of different countries,
to dispense more or less with Ihe
rigor of the canons as to the quad
ragesimal fast.

fitting garment reaching to the heels,
which is the distictive- dress of
clerics, originally was a dress com
mon to the laymen. Its use was
continued by the clergy, however, af
ter the laymen, under the influ
ence of Northern peoples, began to
wear shorter clothes. The cassock
of the simple priest is black; that
of the bishop and other prelates,
purple; that of cardinals, red, that
i of the Pope, white.
