“Addressing the members of the
Associated Press on ‘Law and Law
lessness,’ which he termed ‘the
dominant issue before the Ameri
can people’ ” Bishop Hafey said,
“the president of the United States
on April 22, said: ‘More than nine
thousand human beings are law
lessly killed every year in the
United States. In many of our
great cities murder can apparently
be committed with impuhity. Even
in such premediated crimes as em
bezzlement of fogery our nation
stands no comparison with stable
nations. No part of the country,
rural or urban, is immune. Life
and property are relatively more
unsafe than in any other civilized
country in the world.’ Latfir in his
address, the President added:
‘Finally, I wish to again reiterate
that the problem of law enforce
ment is not alone a function or
business of government. If law can
be upheld only by enforcement of
ficers, then our scheme of govern
ment is at an end.’
“Since the founding of our re
public, no president has uttered a
more depressing recitation of glar
ing facts, and no man has more
clearly enunciated a principle of
government which is in accord with
Catholic philosophy and the genius
of democracy:—if law can be up
held only by enforcement officers
then our scheme of government is
at an end.
“Holy writ confirms, the state
ment: ‘Except the Lord keep the
city, he watcheth in vain that
keepeth it.’ When religious society
is rejected by the great majority
as it is in the United States the
civil society or political state is
doomed to disintegration and the
stability of the family becomes the
prey of licentiousness and free
love. Sensuality saps the life blood
of individual morality and virile
character.

“If our president had deemed it
wise to tell the citizems of the
United States that the divorce
court is shattering an average of
one hundred and seventy thousana
of homes in America each year;
that according to the federal cen- I
sus over sixty millions of our
population have no religious af
filiation; that it is estimated from
recent' investigations that only
about 25 per cept of Protestants
regularly attend religious services,
and that religious society in Ameri
ca is thus in great part confined to
the twenty millions of Catholics
who do believe in and practice their
faith, he would have explained why
‘life and property are relatively
more unsafe than in any other
civilized country in the world.’
“Not tyranny or ruthless murder
by enforcement officers will bring
healthy morality, peace and se-*
curity to American life, but the
leavening of the citizenship of our
country with the sense of responsi

laws of a God of nations as well as ■

meeting was a demonstration at St.

which holds at most 5,000. The other
10.000 waited- outside. Archbishop
Downey went out to them. He raised
his hand, and all the 10,000 knelt down
on the sidewalk and in the roadway in
a hushed silence to receive his bless
ing.
There was an impressive scene at
a meeting of 5,000 children in the
same hall. Following an address
Archbishop Downey, Father Joseph
McAuley called on them to stand and
make a united profession of faith.
Then, while they were still standing,
he said: “Now say what you woiilrt

“God bless the Pope!” The children
responded with all the strength or
their voices. Then they shouted for a
blessing on King George, and finally
