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.

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.” Savannah Council in Mission Motorcade Sponsors Visit to Chapel at St. Simon’s Island (Special to The Bulletin) SAVANNAH, Ga.—Savannah Coun cil, Knights of Columbus, sponsored a motorcade of members and their friends to St. Simon’s Island near Brunswick where the Marist Fathers, the Rev.
