Spanish Government Scored
as Churches, Convents Burn
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
MADRI.—Denunciation of the in
activity of the government in the face
of continued burnings of churches
and convents in Spain is contained in
an editorial published by El Debate,
Catholic newspaper.
The editorial, entitled “Incendiarism
Continues to Hold Sway,” says:
“Now convents and churches are
burned. The mob unpunished seems
to be acting according to an organized
plan and system. About a month ago
the incendiaries had their general
headquarters in Galicia. There were
days when they set fire to as many as
half a dozen churches in the vicinity
of Ferrol. Today they seem to have
moved their headquarters into Viz
caya. With brazenness and treachery
heretofore unknown they have dared
even to set fire to the Basilica of Our
Lady of Begona, which in a certain
sense is the mother-house of worship
in the Bilbao district
“What in the meantime has public
authority been doing? What have the
hypocritical defenders of art to say?
What are those men doing who only
a few days ago rent their garments
when a palm was cut down in the
atrio of a church that had been de
clared a public monument, Or who in
the defense of art seek to transfer the
churches and their contents to gov
ernment control and would not even
permit any change in the choir in the
Granada Cathedral?
“We have now had two years of un
remitting arson and incendiarism be
ginning with May 11, 1931, when
churches and convents in Madrid
were set on fire. There has been no
let-up. The statistics are monstrous.
More than 200 churches and convents
have been destroyed or damaged. Im
mense has been the loss of works of
art, paintings, scultpures. Meantime
the government has taken no precau
tion other than that of confiscating
the properties of the church under
the pretext that she was not conserv
ing them sufficiently; prohibiting the
alineation or exportation of these and
by recent law imposing kind of so
cialization on the whole art treasure
of the church and now the States
seems to have taken . possession of
these treasure which the church has
so well conserved over centuries, for
no better reason than to stand by
indifferent while they are being
burned by the mob. In all this de
struction of magnificent temples; of
pictures which are signed master,
pieces, or statutes which are the work
of the most famous sculptors, what
could be more shameful for a gov
ernment than their destruction, un
less it is the subjection to a slow
death of that which is best in our his
tory.”

death of her husband.

Holy See Called “Bridge
oi International Peace”
Urges More Missions
Among U. S. Negroes
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
CLEVELAND.—A program of action
for the negroes of the United States
was outlined by Most Rev. John T.
McNicholas, O. P., Archbishop of Cin
cinnati, addressing the convention of
the National Catholic International
Federation.
“It is true,” said the Archbishop,
“that almost heroic efforts have been
made by certain small groups in the
United States, in a missionary way, to
convert the negro; yet considering the
negro group as a whole, taking into
account the entire missionary work
that has been done in our country
by consecrated men and women, we
must frankly admit that the negro
has been neglected. God grant we
may now make amend for that neg
lect!
“I have no hesitation In saying that
the most extraordinary opportunity is
offered us for conversions in the Unit
ed States among our. colored people.
The negro will present no problem in
the United States if he be won to the
Catholic Faith.
“To no group in America will the
beauty of the Church’s liturgy ap
peal more powerfully than to our col
ored people, once they understand its
meaning.” .
Miss Anna D. Gamble Says
Catholics Only Express
Peace Ideas to World
(BY N. C. W. C. NEWS SERVICE)
WASHINGTON.—The Holy See is
the great “international Bridge of
Peace” by which peace movements
throughout the world can be linked
in a universal and concerted unity,
declared Miss Anna Dill Gamble, N.
C. W. C. representative on the N. C.
W. C. Joint Peace Committee, a
member of the executive committee
of the Catholic Association for Inter
national Peace and chairman of the
association's Latin American Com
mittee, in an interview with the JN.
C. W. C. News Service, here, recently.
Declaring that the Sovereign Pon
tiff is the one agency in the world
who can make the peace movement
soundly international, Miss Gamble
pointed out that the universality of
the Catholic Church makes the Vi
car of Christ a natural center to
which the world must look for inspi
ration and perspective in applying
the principles of Christian charity to
the settlement of international mis
understandings.
PEACE STUDY
NEEDED
Miss Gamble recently returned from
a speaking tour of the United States
sponsored bv the National Council of
Catholic Women, and, in relating her
observations of the thought of the
masses regarding the question of. and
movements for. peace, she declared
that even Catholics in the United
States have much to learn about the
important position their Church can
maintain in international peace ef
forts. A view of what Catholics in
other parts of the world are doing in
this direction, she said, serves to em
phasize the great opportunity pre
sented to the Catholic Church for
leadership in a world-wide campaign
for peace.
