MANUEL GRANA ) Cable, N. C. W. C. News Service) MADRID. — Manuel Azana, who heads the new Left-Republican Government of Spain, will have as collaborators in his cabinet eight members of his own party. Martinez Barrio’s Radicals, who separated from the Lerroux Radicals, have three posts. Neither the Socialists nor the Catalonian Leftists figure in the government. Martinez Barrio is to be the president of the Cortes. The government is granting imme diate amnesty to all political and so cial prisoners. At present, the line of conduct to be followed by the retiring Premier, Manuel Portela Valladares, and his Center Deputies is not known. The C. E. D. A. Gil Robles’ party, will have by far the largest minority group in the Cortes. Gil Robles is withdrawing for a few days’ rest, leaving the active direction of the party to Jimenez Fernandez, former Minister of Agriculture. Martial law has been declared in four provinces, and the strike in Saragossa is under control. Some Bishop-Elect of the Diocese of Nashville MOST REV. WM. L. ADRIAN BISHOP, JOHN MOODY AT G. L. A, METING Annual Meeting of Savannah Branch There About March 23 to Be Notable Event The Most Rev. Gerald P. O’Hara, D. D., J. U. D., Bishop of Savannah, and John Moody, K. M., of New, York noted economist and author, will address the annual meeting of the Savannah branch of the Catho lic Laymen’s Association of Georgia in March; the details of the meeting have not been completed but Mon day, March 23, is the tentative date and the Catholic Association Build ing the place at which the meeting will be held. The arrangements are being completed by Judge James P. Houlihan, local president. It will be Bishop O’Hara’s first Laymen's Association meeting and will be held after His Excellency’s return from Philadelphia, where he will be on the Feast of St. Joseph, March 19, for the consecration of his successor, Bishop Lamb. Mr. Moody is one of the most dis tinguished Catholic laymert in the United States, an economist of in ternational reputation, and one of the leading financial authorities and authors of the day. Mr. Moody’s conversion to the Catholic Church a few years ago was followed by his notable work, “The Long Road Home’,’ one of the most widely circulated religious books of the time. A year ago Oc tober Mr. Moody came to Georgia to address the nineteenth annual convention of the Catholic Lay men’s Association at Augusta, and the address he delivered at that time has been reprinted in pamphlet (Continued on Back Page) attempts have been made to burn churches, but on the whole the gov ernment is maintaining order and the normal life of the country is be ing resumed. Significance is attached to the fact that Their Eminences Federico Car dinal Tedeschini, Papal Nuncio to Spain, and Isidro Cardinal Goma y Tomas,, Archbishop of Toledo and Primate of Spain, and the Most Rev. Leopoldo Eijo, Bishop of Madrid, were honor guests at a breakfast given by President Alcala Zamora on the eve of the election. But even with the Leftists having a slight majority in the Cortes, the country has. been forwarned and will not accept “the dictatorship of the proletariat”. Revolution is not likely. What is most probable is an “ungovernable” parliament, a condition to which Spain is inured and, so fae, has given no signs of remedying. With the election over, each party, most likely, will proceed to follow its own dictates, and a coalition of Rightists and Centrists in the Cortes can keep matters un der control. REV. WM. L.

Francisco Orozco Jimenez, Archbishop of Guadalajara, died February 18 at the age of 71 and at the close of an eventful life which included several periods of exile from his native land and years spent in hiding in the mountains of Jalis co as a result of Mexican govern ment persecution of the Church. His life was a standing refutation of many of the Government’s pres ent day slanders against the Church. He established scores of schools and led in the advancement of education in Mexico. Instead of amassing wealth, he spent a large personal fortune in charity and general ser vice to the people. As a civic figure, he promoted the good in modern facilities, even devoting his private funds to public works and installing electric lights in one town. Born in the city of Zamora, State of Michigan November 19, 1846, Francisco Orozco was the son of pius and illustratious parents, Don Jose Maria Orozco and Dona Maria Ana Jimenez. Both were of Mexican birth, as were his parental grand parents, Don Juan de Orozco and (Continued on Page Nine Revolution in Spain Unlikely Study of Voting Indicates Holy Father Completes 14 Years of Pontificate Montana Priest Is Consecrated Bishop BISHOP GILMORE MS6R.

His Mighty Achievements Have Made Him Greatest Figure of the Age (BY N. C. W. C. NEWS SERVICE) The fact that His Holiness Pope Pius IX is entering upon the 15th year of his Pontificate serves to re call that the 14 years of his reign have stamped him as the greatest fig ure of his time. Ruling the Church during a period which, year for year, has been as mo mentous, as trying, as colorful and as portentous as any in the world’s history, Pope Pius XI has distin guished his occupancy of the Chair of Peter in many ways. His settle ment of the 60-year-old “Roman Question” alone would make his place in history secure. Generation upon generation will revere him as the Pope of Catholic Action. His in scription of an unprecedented num ber of names on the calendar of Saints is a monument more lasting than granite. His zeal for the spread of the Gospel already has won him the title “Pope of the Missions". His widespread extension of the diplo matic relations of the Holy See de mands universal respect. His deep and practical interest in the promo tion of true science, his moderniza tion of the ancient Vatican, and the fact that he is the first Pontiff whose voice has been carried throughout the world by radio are hallmarks of his eminent position among the Popes. □ □ ! DESPITE DIREFUL EVENTS 1 □ □ That Pope Pius XI has accomplish ed so much is cause for wonder. That he has accomplished all these things amid such trying circumstances is truly amazing. A world already spent in the most dreadful war in history has writhed and struggled in the morass of the most desperate economic plight it has ever known. Governments have come and gone, revolutionary doctrines have been raised up and spread abroad. Wars and threats of wars have continued to stalk the globe. Cries of despair have been Heard on every hand. The Church itself has been the subject of vicious and unrelenting persecution in a number of lands. The figure of Pope Pius XI has shown brightly above it all—serene and fatherly. Crowned Pope on February 12, 1922, Pius XI issued his first Encyclical Ubi Arcano Dei on December 23 of that year, proclaiming “The Peace of Christ in the Reign of Christ” as the program of his Pontificate. Among the score or more of En cyclicals that have followed have been: Maximan gravissimamque of Jan 18, 1924, putting the final seal on the religious pacification of France; Quas primas of December 11, 1925, in which the Feast of Christ the King was in stituted; Rerum Ecclesiae of February 28. 1926, giving new directions for Catholic Mission activity; Iniquis af- flictisquc of November 18. 1926, deal ing with the sad conditions facing the Church in Mexico; Mortalium an- imos of January 6, 1928, recalling the doctrine of real Unity of the Church in the face of the errors of pan- Christianism; Miserentissimus Re- demptor of May 8, 1928, calling the faithful to the duty of reparation to wards Our Lord; Rerum Orientalium of September 8, 1928, inviting Cath- (Continued on Page Thirteen) Mass at Washington Marks Anniversary of Coronation (By N.

Bishop Peterson, in his sermon, de scribed the significance and history of the ceremony connected with the coronation of the Sovereign Pontiffs. He declared that “our own beloved Pius XI’’ has proclaimed the “peace of Christ in the kingdom of Christ.” “Harassed by the ravages of irrelig- ion in lands once fertile to Christ," he added, the present Pope continues to seek peace, “with a comforting ac cent of hope.” The Rt.
