Archbishop Spellman Cites Danger in
Bill to Finance Tax-Supported Schools
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
NEW YORK.—Should the bill
now before Congress proposing
an appropriation of 5300,000,000
to finance tax-supported schools
be passed the result would be
“disastrous to private education
in this country and eventually dis
astrous' to the country itself,” the
Most Rev. Francis J. Spellman,
Archbishop of New York, declared
in addressing the fifth annual re
union banquet of the Alumni As
sociation of the Catholic Univer
sity of America here.
Catholics, His Excellency said,
oppose the bill because it would
federalize education and because
it is discriminatory against chil
dren who attend private schools.
After complimenting the Alumni
Association for its service to the
Catholic University of America,
which he termed the crowning
glory of the Catholic educational
system in the United States, and
felicitating President Andrew P.
Maloney and the officials of the
Association on the success of the
reunion, the forum and the din
ner, His Excellency spoke in
praise of the work done by the
late Bishop Corrigan which is be
ing so well carried on by the Rt.
Rev. Msgr. Patrick J. McCormick,
Acting Rector of the University.
“I am sure we are all deeply
grateful to Senator O’Mahoney, of
Wyoming, for his very important
address,” the Archbishop said.
“Certainly what he said and the
way in which he said it was most
impressive and thought-provoking.
“He described the economic and
political tendencies in our coun
try. He described various steps
in the onward march toward cen
tralization in government, and
pointed out some of the dangers.
“I should like to supplement
the Senator’s remarks by calling
attention to one phase of this ten
dency that is also inimical to our
country’s welfare. There is a bill
now before Congress, No. 1313,
and while I am not superstitious,
this bill with the double thirteen
number is definitely ominous. If
this bill should pass, it would be
disastrous to private education in
this country, and eventually dis
astrous to the country itself.
“The bill proposes to give a
large sum of money, three hun
dred million dollars, to finance
tax-supported schools.
“To this bill we are opposed in
principle because it would feder
alize education, and we also are
opposed to it as discriminatory
against children who attend pri
vate schools that have been built
and are maintained by the sacri
fices, the struggles and the mar
tyrdom of generations of Ameri-
ica-loving and God-loving people,
who incidentally are also taxpay
ers supporting the public schools.
“All children are America’s
children. The health and welfare
of children in private schools
and their education should be of
just as much concern to the Fed
eral Government as the health,
welfare and education of children
in tax-supported schools.”
