C. W. C. News Srcvicc.) 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.

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. 246 Indians Confirmed By Bishop Gercke In Arizona (By .
