Calles Return Is Unopposed
Mexico City, Sept. 25. .—
President Lazardo Cardenas,
deprecating rumors of revolu-
tionary plots, said in a state-
ment today that the govern-
ment would make no effort
to prevent the return to Mex
ico of Gen. Plutarco Elias
Calles.
Cardenas said former Presi

Clerics* View Asked By FDR
Washington, D. C., Sept.
25. — On the eve of his de-
parture on a trip to the Pa-
cific, President Roosevelt has
sought the counsel and guid-
ance of a number of clergy-
men throughout the country
on the administration’s pol-
icies.
He has asked them to ad-
vise him about conditions ^ in
their respective communities
and to “tell me where you
feel our government can bet-
ter serve our people.”
This unprecedented action
was disclosed today not by
ing fact in the lives of some
90 Indian boys and girls and
the eight Sisters of St. Fran-
cis, who cook, bake, wash,
and mend for them and teach
their nine classes.
A new school is news these
days; and St. George’s was
not built with government
money. Contrary to a mis-
conception held by some, the
government or state does not
contribute one cent to the
school that cares for and edu
cates these descendants of
those first Americans who
once owned all “our country.”

Q. — Does the Bible say
that some sins are mortal and
others venial?
A. — Yes, it designates
some sins that exclude the
sinners from the Kingdom of
Heaven, as in Galat. 5, 19
and in I. Cor. 6, 9. Then in
Prov. 24, 16 we read, “The
just man falls seven times
and rises again”. If a man
commits a mortal sin, he is
no longer called a just man.
Read St. James 3, 2.
Q. — Must a person be-
long to the Leaetie In order
to gain the Indulgences grant
cd for wearing the Sacred
Heart badge?
A. — Yes.
Q. — Is there a St. Regis?
A. — St. John Francis Re-
gis, born in Languedoc,
France, Jan. 31, 1597; be-
came Jesuit; ordained in
1630; gave heroic care to the
sick during a plague; found- ‘
ed confraternities of the Bles
sed Sacrament; gave mis-
sions, particularly to the
poor unlettered farming peo-
ple of Languedoc and Auver-
gne, and died during one of
.them, Dec. 30, 1640. Canon-
ized in 1737. His feast ig on

What An Indictment
Expectant Mothers Are
Forced To Work
(By: Lindsey Parrott)
Moscow.—Despite the pled-
ges tjf Soviet law, expectant
mothers are being forced to
work in the fields up to the
day of their confinement and
are placed at heavy labor im
mediately on their release
from the maternity ward.
Such is the complaint mad^
from the Second State Ex-
perimental farm near Ros-
tov—supposedly one of the
modfel institutions of its kind
in the Soviet Union.
The official organ of the
commissariat of agriculture,
the daily newspaper, Molot,
revealed three separate cases
of the sort at the farm. So
far. however, no attempt has
been made to ascertain the
extent of such violations on
other state and collective
farms and in city factories.

(BOY, cont. from page 1)
“Catholic Action of the South,” official organ of the
Archdiocese cf New Orleans .and the diocese of Lafayette
and Natchez, editorially under the captain, “Figs From
Thistles.” makes a severe indictment. "What oft was
thought but ne’er so well expressed” might aptly sum-
marize the editorial. We take the privilege of quoting the
editorial in its entirety;
“Mr. Brisbane said that 20.000,000 Catholics of the
United State? have been counted, but let this poor soft-
shell Baptist tell the 20,000,000 that, while they have been
counted, they dc not count. I am afraid that the reason
is that so many of their alleged leaders are better poli-
ticians than they are Catholics, and that some of them
are just a little too diplomatic.”
“Thus writes a Baptist woman to The Commonweal
in commenting on ‘Our Diplomacy and Mexico.’ She has
placed her finger on the sorp spot find deftly diagnosed
our case. That has beer our trouble, ‘alleged leaders’ who
are better politicians than Catholics or in other words,
a sad lack of genuine leadership.
“Our need has been, is and will be real leaders and
until we do have true leadership we 20.000,000 will never
carry any more weight than a fly’s hoof. Our position will
be as it has too sadly been in the past, a more or less
quiescent, rebuffed, .conciliatory and submissive minority,
fearful to ‘answer back.’ taking the kicks and brickbats
with bowed heads.
“What leaders have the Catholics of our country
produced ? Among the clergy, yes. Cardinal Gibbons, Arch-
bishop Carroll, Archbishop Hughes, Bishop England, Fa-
ther York, to cite a few. What outstanding Catholic lay
leaders and spokesmen have we produced? Can we cite
one to measure anywhere near to Windhorst or Ozonam
of O’Connell or O’Connor? An armless man can count
all of ours on his fingers!
“Too often, those who have been considered leaders
kept tvro eyes wide open on political possibilities and shut
them to the opportunity to obtain rights or justice for
their brethern. They hesitate not to stoop to opportunism
for the benefit of self or party at the sacrifice of the
principles of Faith.
“We have had too many men, disgracefully ashamed
of their religion, who sneak away and leave the Faith to
the women, too many Catholic men of the rear-of-the-
church variety, too many once-in-a-while Catholic men,
too many wishy-washy Catholic men who perspiringly
duck church activities and organizations, too many unin-
formed Catholic men. so-called, in short, too many men
who tag themselves Catholic, but haven’t got the courage
to live up to and profess their Faith.'Can we expect lead-
ership, aggressiveness and action to emerge from such
Catholic jellyfish or amoebas? We might as well look for
figs among thistles.
Any wonder that! the 20,000,000 Catholics have been
counted, but don’t count?"
According to our latest reports, the editor of Cath-
olic Action is still living and very much alive, even in
Louisiana. They certainly have freedom of thought down

Texas’ minister, W. H. Wharton, saw that Congress
was cautious in handling the recognition question before
the coming presidential campaign, although Jackson seem-
ed to favor it, and after receiving S. F. Austin’s appeal,
he wrote in February to Col. Howard, chairman of the
committee on foreign relations that “if the United States
does not now accept the proposition, it may be forever
lost to her”.
But in, the midst of this uncertainty came a sad
event. The writer of the above mentioned appeal had fin-
ally, Dec. 27, 1836, succumbed under the burdens of la-
bor, privattioiis and adversities, at the age of only 43.
This letter in the interest of Texas was the last instru-
ment Secretary of State, Stephen F. Austin wrote, in Col-
umbia, the temporary capital, in a cold room. This priva-
tion in less than a week brought on pneumonia. In his
passing mind, half an hour before his death, he inagined
Mr. Archer telling him that Texas was recognized. For
15 years, since his starting as an empressario, his pne
and most occupying concern of his unselfish, patriotic
mind was — Texas and her people.
In reognition of his labors, because there was scarcely
any happy event in Texas that had no connection with
Austin’s efforts, Houston caused all civil and military
officers to wear crepe on their right arm for 30 days,
23 guns to be fired (one for each county) at intervals of
five minutes, and colors hung in black, for 30 days, and
had Secretary of War, W. S. Fisher, to write “The Father
of Texas is no more - - - - General Stephen F. Austin, sec-
retary of State, expired this day at half-past twelve o’-
clock, at Columbia”. He recognized Austin’s “undeviating
moral rectitude - - - his untiring zeal and invaluable ser-
vices”.1
The remains were escorted by all members of the

Why the Major Didn’t Suit
By IRVIN S. COBB
f"\N a voyage of one of the Cunard liners from New York to Liverpool
a Major H. Reynolds of London was registered on the passenger
list The purser, running over the names, assigned to the same state-
room as fellow travelers, this Major Reynolds and a husky stockman
from the Panhandle of Texas.
A little later the cattleman, ignoring the purser, hunted up the
skipper.
“Look here, cap,” he demanded, “what kind of a joker is this here
head clerk of yours? I can’t travel in the same stateroom with that
there Major Reynolds. I can’t and I won’t! So far as that goea,
neither one of us likes the idea.”
“What complaint have you?” asked the skipper. “Do you object
to an army officer for a traveling companion ?”
“Not generally,” stated the Texan—“only this happens to be the
Salvation Army. That there major’s other name is Henrietta!”
