Results of Study of Southern
Commission on Interracial
Cooperation Announced
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
ATLANTA—Statistics showing that
3,724 persons were lynched in this
country from 1889 through 1930 and
that of the thousands of lynchers and
on-lookers few were punished are
contained in “The Tragedy of Lynch
ing” by Arthur Raper, a book
published by the University of North
Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, N. C.,
comprising the results of a study car
ried on by the Southern Commission
on the Study of Lynching, a group
which was organized by the Commis
sion on Interracial Co-operation, with
headquarters here.
Only 49 persons were kill'd for
participation in lynchings in 1930, in
which 21 persons were killed, the
book says, and only four of these
have been sentenced.
The author finds that the better
elements of the community and the
stronger churches and better news
papers generally oppose lynching
publicly and effectively. He cites
many examples of this, but points out
that the ultimate deterrent must come
from a still more effectual marshal
ing of the forces of civilization and
enlightened public opinion.
“It need not be urged,” he con
cludes, “that laws at least are of
little avail unless supported by public
opinion. The various expedients sug
gested above may help to prevent the
formation of mobs and reduce the

lence.

Readers of The Bulletin
are requested to cooperate
with the Catholic Press of
the nation by protesting to
their local stations and to
the Federal Radio Commis
sion at Washington, D. C.,
misrepresentations they
hear in the “Watchtower”
programs of “Judge” Ruth
erford, and to advise The
Bulletin of such misrepre
sentations and of the pro
tests that are made. The
Rutherford broadcasts, in
sulting to Catholics and
Protestants as well as to
other religious-minded peo
ple, have been protested
from one end of the nation
to the other, but instead of
endeavoring to conform the
broadcasts to the rules of
the Federal Radio Commis
sion, Rutherford’s attitude
appears to be one of de
fiance. ’

WASHINGTON HONORS
BOLIVAR'S MEMORY
On 150th Anniversary of
Liberator’s Death
(By N. C. W. C. News Services)
WASHINGTON, D. C — Exercises
commemorating the one hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of the birth of Si
mon Bolivar, South American patriot
and liberator, were held at the Pan-
American Union Building here July

The N. C. W. C. was represented

Dr. J. Varela, Minister of Uruguay
and acting chairman of the Governing
Board of the Pan-American Union,
presided over the exercises and placed
a wreath before a marble bust of Bo
livar in the Hall of Patriots. Mes
sages were read from the Presidents
of six Latin-American countries that
trace their independence to the
achievements of Bolivar, namely, Bo-
Iiva, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama,
Peru and Venezuela. Dr. Juan Fran
cisco de Cardenas, Ambassador of
Spain to the United States also ad
dressed the gathering, and read a mes
sage from the President of the Span
ish Republic lauding the deeds of Bo
livar.
One of the features of the day’s
celebration was the sending of flow
ers from Mount Vernon, the home o£
General Washington, to Venezuela.
Among these flowers were hydrangea
blooms taken from a bush planted by
Lafayette, who was commissioned by
the Washington family in 1826 to de
liver a medallion of Washington to
Bolivar.

GALLES PESSIMISTIC
OVER OUTGROWTH OF
MEXICAN REVOLUTION
Former President Tells In
terviewer He Is “Everything
But Satisfied’’ With What
It Has Accomplished
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
MEXICO CITY—An interview with
former President Plutarco Elias
Calles, in which the General is repre
sented as disillusioned regarding the
Mexican Revolution and expresses
pessimistic views concerning its fu
ture, is published in El Universal,
The interview is written by Ezequiel
Padilla, member of the Mexican Con
gress and former president of that
body, who was special prosecutor of
Jose de Leon, youth convicted and
executed in the assassination of
President-Elect Alvaro Obregon.
Padilla in his interview, recalls the
first message of President Calles to
the Congress to which Padilla replied
as President of the Congress in Sep
tember, 1925.
Calles, with what Padilla calls a
bitter gesture, replies:
“Eight years after that message I
am everything but satisfied with
what has been accomplished. I be-
live that we have seen our strongest
and most constructive proposals de
feated and postponed. In the first
place we lack the necessary human
material. The men whose business
it was to carry out this enormous
enterprise have failed. The farm
schools themselves, which on no pre
text should have been allowed to be
anything but successful, were a dis
aster up to the time of their trans
fer to the Department of Public Edu
cation. The reason is that the men
placed in charge of such elevated
functions had no love for the enter
prise, no ability to understand it, no
sufficient disinterestedness to manage
it. In the second place we have lack
ed a coherent plan of action. We
have labored Without any co-ordina
tion.”
Discussing the agrarian problem.
General Calles points out the advant
ages of large scale operation over
small scale operation according to
Padilla, but he reports Calles as
adding:
“Land distribution has been pledged
solemnly by the Revolution, it de
stroys peonage, and once family prop-
erty\is achieved it becomes an im
portant factor of agricultural organ
izations. It is therefore urgent that
we conclude it as soon as possible.
The government has not had time to
solve this problem, but it merits all
our attention, and we should under
take it without political violence,
under a plan of administration in
which the interest of the landholder
will be served, giving him the
security that comes from land owner
ship.”
In answer to questions concerning
labor Calles is quoted as saying:
“Our workingmen will have to
learn from experience. If we under
take to unite them before they have
had that experience our efforts will
be useless. In this way they will
quickly learn the lessons they need
most to learn, namely that nothing
can be accomplished except through
united action.
“A short time ago the director of
the National Railways made a survey
in the State of Oaxaca preparatory to
(Continued on Page Two)
Ukraine,” Dr. Ammende said. “Cath -
olics, Orthodox, Protestants, Jews,
Russians, Ukrainians and Germans,
in short members of all religious com
munities and national groups, are per

possession of authentic reparts which
