We do not favor the recognition
of Russia. This country that calls
itself Christian; that stands for
the home, the Bible, the church
and society should not recognize
the one empire in the world that
has made degredation and deter
ioration their national program,
has burned Bibles, dynamited the
churches, repudiated all its debts,
defied diabolical decay of decen
cy, officially tabooed God; made
marriage less than nothing, tak
en every two-year-old babe away
from its parents to destroy all
family life and done everything
else the devil asked it. We may
get some trade by recognizing
Russia, but a terrible price will
be the result.—Greensboro Her
ald-Journal, James C. Williams,
editor.
The suggestion that the Soviet gov
ernment be recognized for business
reasons is outrageous and revolting.
Of all the nations of the earth, it is
the least deserving of respect and
sympathy.
In his palmiest days of murder,
rapine and destruction, the bloody
Turk has never written such a record
of utter horror and depravity as the
present Russian government has to
its credit.
The rule of the Romanoffs was
gentle and humane compared to the
wild orgy of mis-government, shame
and chaos organized and fostered by
the stinking Stalin regime.—The

The Knights of Columbus
Cardinal Gibbons once referred to the Knights of
Columbus as “the right arm of the Church.” Bishops
have called them “the flower of American manh&od” and
“the cream of tfie Catholic laity” of the United States.
Hie officers of the Knights of Columbus are the leaders
of the men so designated, and if the rank and file de
serve such commendation, what shall we say of the
leaders?
There is no body of men on whom the Catholic
Press depends more than on the Knights of Columbus.
The Catholic Laymen’s Association of Georgia was
started and The Bulletin made possible by men who
were for the most part leaders in the Knights of Colum
bus. It has been quite common to have all the officers
and most of the members of Georgia Councils members
of the Laymen’s Association. But all Catholics in the
Southeast and particularly all members of the Knights
of Columbus, and most of all the officers of their Coun
cils ought to be interested in the Catholic Press, which
our Holy Father has called “My Voice.”
The Bulletin is the only Catholic newspaper in
the Southeast. How many councils will have their offi
cers one hundred per cent, on The Bulletin subscription
v list, the custom in Georgia? Their response is most im
portant to The Bulletin. If it cannot get their sup
port, the prospect of interesting those not so interested
in things Catholic as Knights of Columbus officers should
he will not be encouraging.

Doctrine of State’s Ex
clusive Right to Education
of the Young Challenged
In an address, delivered in St.
Mary's Church at the opening Mass
of the convention, the Most Rev.
John Mark Gannon, Bishop of Erie,
called upon the organization to re
spond to the leadership of President
Roosevelt. The Most Rev. Francis J,
Tief Bishop of Concordia, was the
celebrant.
‘Presiden Roosevelt," said Bishop
Gannon, “is a leader who, I believe,
is thoroughly acquainted with the
principles laid down by our Holy
Father in his many Encyclicals and, I
believe, he is attempting to follow
these principles in that which we call
the ‘new deal.’ The ‘new deal’ is
the practical operation of these prin
ciples. It is he hope between the
old order of adhemce to naturalism
and the new order of a return to su
pernaturalism.”

BERLIN.—Standing in a united
front against any interference from
te State with the freedom of the
Catholic youth organization of their
country, and vigorously upholding
the Catholic principle that it is not
permissible for the State to claim for
itself the exclusive right of directing
and educating the younger genera
tion, the German Hierarchy has just
published a resolution embodying
these views which was unanimously
adopted at the recent Episcopal Con
ference in Fulda with three Cardinals
and 18 Archbishops and Bishops at
tending in person.
With a setting of the colorful ritual
of the Church Miss Mary C. Duffy,
supreme regent of the C. D. of A, re

tifico, conferred upon her by His
Holiness Pope Pius XI. The investi
ture took place in St. Marys Church,

In presenting the medal to Miss
Duffy, Bishop Hafey said: “The medal
Pro Ecclesia et Pontifico is bestowed
by our Holy father upon Miss Mary
C. Duffy, a woman who by her life
and activities was consecrated to
Catholic action, the work so dear to
the heart of our Holy Father.
The sessions were attended by 505
delegates representing 2,000 ordinate

BERLIN CATHOLIC PAPER QUITS
SUPPORT OF THE CENTRE PARTY
Germania, leading Catholic news
paper of the German capital, which
for 62 ears has upheld the traditions
of t he Center Party, will adopt a
fundamental change in its editorial
policy July 1, when the present edi
tors resign and Emil Ritter, a close
friend and adviser of Cice-Chancellor
Franz von Fapen, becomes editor-in-
chief. Colonel von Papen and his
friends control the majority of the
shares of the paper and have now de
cided to loosen all its connections
with the Center. The paper will now
be, as t he owners put it, “conserva
tively Catholic.”
The other Catholic daily of Berlin,
Maerkische Volkszeitung, which is
published by the Germania Publish
ing Company is expected to suffer no
change in its editorial policy, at least
for the time being, which m.eans that
it will continue to be orientated by
Center Party principles.

many “conflicts and controversies.”
Chancellor Hitler, the Dean said,
