■ This warning was given by Mri ;R. P. Walsh, ieditor of the ["Catholic Worker” and well-known socl,al reformer,' In a lecture ;to the Cllthepfe Catholic Social Study Club last Sunday.'


,The Chairman, Mr, T.i Dobson, Intro- ' '


duced Mr. Walsh as Catholic Social Guild manager of the “Cat as the founder of thfe fa: Hospitality” In Wlgah—the first of its kind in! this country. [- He was a man of ideas and Ideals, said Mr, Dobson, and h^e

Who,; looking at the • present Goyerriment, would suspect [the dlffer- enclps between Eden and Chamberlain, betjveen Chamberlain and Cljurchlll of a few; months ago ? Mr. Walsh thought that England; was still the strongest natjon of Europe, but a iong war ivyas bound to weaken her. I t was to Eng­ land’s credit that she had tried; to lead Euyppe albng' the lines of respect h r freedom of feonsclence.

present struggle could escape a share of; the blame, said Mr. 'Walsh. Even! Poland —the hation we w'erfe pledged to restore —had'ibeen .as aggressive as dermUny! when she had the -ichance. She had


.seizedWllna land pai;t of Russia’s terri­ tory, and sheihad tried to take a part of- Czechoslovakia at the! time of the Munich Agreeipent.. The Polish government [had


persecuted its i minorities and had eyen tried tb suppress the ]lJnlate Catholicsj In spite of the efforts of the Vatican. | ■ |


, altered very considerably if Russia chose to Intfervene.'! There was the question of Russia’s atheism to consider. The politi­ cal side of Communism was not the con­ cern'of the Church; she would co-operate ■with any form of government so long as religious freedom -was assured. But


Russia remained sojnethlng of an enig­ ma.' I The course , of the war could be


that religion: was. being stamped out In that part of Poland which had recently come under Russian rule.


perseG m oN . [ Germany was as gfeat a persecutor of


the. Church! Bu^sia. The German persecution ,was much more subtle,; but Mr. 'Walsh thought; that It would be even! more effective in thej long run. Russia’s direct! attack on religion seemed to have failed; but Germahy’s seemed to be 'succeeding. ,

played her part In trying t^ crush the German nation. Britain had'refused to I grant concessions to [democr itlc govfermnents In Germany arid had tOus helped to prepare the way ftjr Hitlerism. Britain had iffeiled to uphold her prin­ ciples iwhen, jHanchurla w ^ attacked, then she suddenly became [very mbral when Abyssinia was invaded.
