SYLVESTER & SONS “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. SLAYERS OF PRIESTS EXECUTED IN CHINA (By N. C. W. C. News Service.)
