CHURCH FIGHTS REDS
FOR ALL CHRISTIANS
It Is Battling Also for All
Believing in Supreme Being,
Says Charleston News and
Courier Editorial
(Special to the Bulletin)
CHARLESTON, S. C.-The battle
the Catholic Church is waging against
Communism “is the battle of all
Christian Churches, indeed of the
Jews and other n o n-C h r i s t i a n
Churches acknowledging a Supreme
Being,” the Charleston News and
Courier asserts editorially, and it dis
misses as “manifestly a contention of
absurdity” the criticism by so-called
“liberal” magazines of the Church’s
attitude toward communistic govern
ments.
“The Christian Church,” says the
News and Courier, “however it re
frain from the sword, however it
’turn the other cheek’, cannot, with
out stultifying itself, without denying
its Lord as St. Peter in his sinfulness
denied Him, eonfess respect for com
munistic government—not until com
munism at least shall abjure its mil
itancy against Christianity.”

J. A. VON DOHLEN SPEAKS
ON EUROPEAN SITUATION
Russia is responsible for the situa
tion in Spain and is the outstanding
menace of the world, J. A. Von Doh-
len, president of the J. A. Von Dohlen
Steamship Co., just back from a trip
to Northern Europe, told the Charles
ton Rotary Club at a recent meeting
Mr. Von Dohlen quoted informed Eu
ropean opinion to the effect that Rus
sia intends to dominate Europe and
the world, but there are strong gov
ernments in Europe which do not pro
pose to allow her to do so.
FATHER WOLFE SPEAKS
TO KIWANIS CLUB
The Rev. Henry Wolfe, pastor of
Sacred Heart Church, in an address
before the Kiwanis Club, asserted that
the problem of the home and parent
al discipline is the main one facing
America today. Parents today will
not stay home, and are not setting the
right example, Father Wolfe said. He
deplored the presence of so many
married women in the business world
who are not there through necessity
and urged their return to the home.
The world needs not a New Deal so
much as a return to the principles of
Christ, he said.

of Notre Dame where he was en
