Catholic Opposition
to Lynching Lauded
In Report of Southern Inter
racial Commission
(Continued from Page One)
number of lynchings, but they will
contribute to the final end of ‘lynch-
'ing only as they help build a public
opinion that will outlaw it.
The religious component, by de
nominations, of each community
where a lynching has taken place,
is noted by the author. These nota
tions show that in every case save
one, the church-going population was
overwhelmingly Frotestant; where
the Catholics were at all listed, their
number is negligible, in one com
munity being given as 12, in another
14 and in another 351 out of 7,000. In
many of the communities also, there
were large numbers not members of
any church.
In the one case where there was a
considerable Catholic population it is
noted that the Catholics took no part
in the lynching. This was the case
of a negro accused on an attempted
assault upon a white woman in the
vicinity of Braxos and Robertson
Counties. Texas. The author says:
“Though nearly half of the people
of Branzos and Robertson counties are
Catholics, the men who hunted dow'
Roan were not of this group. They
were all Frotestants or of Protestant
families. If the family involved had
been Catholic, the situation might
have been different; it was generally
reported, however, by Protestants of
Bryan that the Catholics are not in
clined to lynch.’’
Over four-fifths of the victims of
lynchings were negroes, less than
one-sixth of whom were accused of
rape, the writer points out, and prac
tically all of the lynchings were native
whites.
A chart is given showing a rela
tionship between the value of cotton
and the number of lynchings. “It
■will be noted,” the author says, “that
as a rule whenever the per acre
value of cotton is above its trend
the number of lynchings is below its
trend. In other words, periods of
relative prosperity bring reduction in
lynching and periods of depression
cause an increase.”
BISHOP SHEIL, Auxiliary Bishop
of Chicago, pitched a fifteen inning

olic Youth Organization recently.

the construction of a road from Ejutla
to the Puerto Angel. This project
would have given employment to a
very large number of men, and to
employers in industry, and would
have opened opportunities for farm
ing an dtrade. But it has been shown
that this new line could not be profit
able unless new contracts are made
with the railway unions. They re
jected every proposal submitted to
them. Any one can see in this an ab
sence of all sense of common interest,
not only in the welfare of the com
panies themselves which give them
employment, but even of the nation
as a whole.
“Everywhere we see local initiative
disappearing and the towns are look
ing more and more to the state. The
present condition of the nation is sad
indeed for labor.
“The time has come when we
should work out in great detail' a
six-year plan for the term of the next
president. This plan should be based
on careful calculations, on exact
statistics, on experience. We should
not undertake anything not within
the limitations of our national income
or other realities. i
"I know that more radical plans can
be proposed. To make social experi
ments at the cost of the hunger of
the multitudes is a crime. Any one
who proposes an unpractical plan is
insincere. He knows that he is a liar.
He believes that later he will find it
easy to betray his platform and ignore
the promises he has made. Certainly
he is mistaken. He will find it im
possible to get out of the trap he set
for himself.- The masses will net
forgive him and in the end will de
stroy him.”
