Bishops and the Catholic Press (From the Recent Statement of the Bishop^of the United States) "The Catholic pres6 during the years of depression has giv en proof of its many virtues. Its editors have borne patiently and cheerfully financial anxiety and embarrassment. Out of love for the Church and in the hope of showing in this dark hour the sanity of the Catholic po sition anl the value of Catholic principles, they have willingly made heroic sacrifices. "With the beginning of bet ter economic conditions it is to be hoped that a Catholic paper will find its way to every Cath olic home and be read by every member of the family. Catholic reading is necessary for Cath olic life. The average Catholic is brought In daily contact with much that is calculated to per vert Catholic life and to weak en, or even to destroy, Catholic principles. The Catholic press and Catholic publications will help to counteract the danger ous Influences to which our people are exposed, owing to the atmosphere of worldliness, irrellgioa, and indlfferentism by which they ate surrounded.” NEWS BRIEFS From The N.

Broadcast Points Out Parallels Be tween National Recovery Act and Papal Encyclicals (By N. C. W. C. News Service) AUGUSTA.—Parallels between the National Industrial Recovery Act and the Encyclicals of Pope Leo XIII and Pope Pius XI were traced by the Rev. Harold J. Barr, assistant pastor of St. Mary’s Church, in an address broadcast over Station WRDW. Fath er Barr's address was delivered in the weekly program sponsored by the Patrick Walsh Council of the K. of C., of which he is chaplain, in coopera tion with the local N. R. A. commit tee. "There is no group of citizens more confident of the success of the N. R. A. or more enthusiastic about its pos sibilities than we Catholics." Father Ball said, "for there is none more convinced of the soundness of the principles upon which it is based." “I have been asked;" Father Barr said, “to speak on the National In- ductrial Recovery Act. Since this act approaches a solution of the problem offered forty years ago by Leo XIII it is with joy that I speak of it, for with the passage of this act, this country faces a new social order and we Catholics have a duty to see to it that this new social order approach es the standard of social justice." In pointing out parallels between the N. R. A. and the Papal Encycli cals, Father Barr said: “The Catholic Church has always insisted that in the words of Pope Pius XI ‘the wage paid to the work ingman must be sufficient for the support of himself and his family'. The President in the N. R. A. insists on a living wage through the start ing point of a minimum age. “Reforms must be introduced to guarantee it, .are the wise word of the Encyclical expounded by the Popes.

Ga—Savannah Coun cil, Knights of Columbus, sponsored a motorcade to Ludowici. where the Marist Fathers of Brunswick have a mission; J. O. Maegioni was chair man of the committee of arrange ments. This is the second of the made to the St. Simon's* Island on the coast. ing it by such reforms as shorter hours thus creating jobs for those who have none, and secondly by in sisting on higher wages. “ 'The wise measure of public au thority must assist it.’ says the En cyclical. The whole N. R. A. flows from the authority of the govern ment and the people from whom the government gets its authority. "When the Bishops maintain the justice of the living wage and the equity of the high wage.” Father Barr continued, "they take the position as sumed by the N. R. A. and its ex pounders when they say there can be no return of prosperity to the nation until our peode have jobs at living wages, and the only way to insure prosperity is to increase the purchasing power of the people.” "Catholic economists, the Catholic clergy. Catholic Bishcos and the Popes have not been the only ones who have advocated these princi ples and policies,” Father Barr add ed. "There have been plenty of oth ers. conscious also of the great fundamental truth of the dignity of many and of the fact that industry and commerce were made for man and not man for industry and com merce. But these are sufficient to show in what perfect accord the stip ulations of the National Recovery Act are with the attitude of our citizens who are Catholics and how natural it is for Catholics to give it their heart felt approval and enthusiastic assist ance." -1 Alabama Missionaries for Now Posts Leave LOUIS C.

Augustan’s Catholic Book 400 Years Old Defense of Church Printed in 1567 Still in Fine State of Preservation AUGUSTA, Ga. — Hugh Kindi- ley of this city has in his possession one of the oldest books in the slate. “A Counterblast to M. Homes Vaync Blast Against M. Fekenham", a work of apologetics written by Thomas Stapleton and published in Louvain in 1567.

John A Dolfy of Syracuse Lauds It for Vision and Courage SYRACUSE. — President Roosevelt is pointing the way to a future' of sound and profitable business, and he believes that the American people have intelligence enough to sec this and to adopt the present measures as a permanent economic policy, the Most Rev. John A. Duffy. Bishop of Syracuse, is quoted as saying in a copyrighted interview printed m The Syracuse Herald. "There must be a period put by law—a stopping point fixed—beyond which greed and avarice cannot go, and President Roosevelt has had not only the vision to see this, but the courage to translate his vision into action." Bishop Duffy is further quoted as saying. -»"In doing this, he has put into ef fect the principle announced by Pope Leo Xlll. 40-odd years ago. that gov- unment has not only the right but tW tluty to assist in the formation cf economic units. President Roose velt has done a Class A job. 'Die ex* periment. thus far. is beautiful.” “Greed, the ultimate cause of eco nomic distress, because it is a morul failing, brings religions and morality into the economic picture,” the Bishop added. "Religion is not a mere department of life. Religion L* an eternal spirit breathing over the temporal world. Religion recognizes that greed and avarice are appetites which man cannot control without Divine assistance. "The success of the mest hopeful plan ever proposed for economic ad justment calls for the revival of the knowledge and the practice of Chris tian faith and morals. The real Amer ican patriot these days will be found cn his knees before God, asking for the strength to bottle greed in his own heart. In the attainment of social justice the individual is im portant. Mass Action is individual action multiplied. When one hun dred anti twenty million Americans realize that God and religion cannot be divorced without disaster from economic life. America will take one necessary step forward towards en during prosperity." Bishop Duffy lauded the part labor groups have played, saying that “they have made success of the president’s plan their common cause.” The Bish op also said that "in America we have all that is needed to lead the world through the present crUris." “America has proved her capacity to do this," he added. Then, saying that both the public and parochial schools have been big factors in Americanization. Bishop Duffy continued: Americans look upon the parochial school as a sort of challenge to the public school svstem. This is a grave error. Back of the parochial school is. of course, the Church, but Jesus Christ and His Church are not alien thing!*. God is not an alien in Amer ica. The parochial school.':, in every respect other than their religious backgrounds, have the same, identi cal aims and objectives as the public schools. They are just as truly Amer ican in all respects. And they have been necessary to the realization of Americanism by countless immi grants."
