NEW YORK, N. Y. CHICAGO D'BOSTON ' Los ANGELES - SAN FRANCIsCo 1ember, Associated Collegiate Press, 1938-39 office a positive danger for the collective whole." If the above sounds like an echo of the In- quisition listen to this: "It is said by some, in- cluding well-intentioned Catholics, that the opinions of others must be tolerated and re- spected. We emphatically reject this assertion, not as religious men, but because of our scientific outlook." And this: "Catholic religious education will be obligatory in all grades and in both official and private Spanish education. There can be no exceptions to this principle." If this is not abhorrent to Catholics in Ameri- ca, they should consider the following statement by Premartin, which indicates that the Rebel's devotion to the Catholic Church is based not upon a religious feeling, but upon the cynical belief that the Fascist State can use the Church for its own ends. "The second very important advantage, which every Catholic believer must appreciate, is the magnificent proselytism, as much internal as external, which will result from the declara- tion of Catholicism as the religion of the State. The people believe what they see as the first step to believing what they do not see. When they see the authorities worshipping God in the Catholic faith, when they see the armed forces presenting arms at the holiest of sacraments, when they see the splendor of Spanish Catholic worship, enriched by the public and showy inter- vention of the civil and military authorities, they will believe that That, to which external religious ceremonies are offered, is the Truth."

The Church Of The State ... I N ANOTHER COLUMN we print a letter discussing the attitude of the Spanish Republic from 1931 to 1933 toward the Catholic Church. The charges implied by the construction of the letter are many and all de- serve consideration. Fundamentally, however, the letter suggests that in the author's mind lies the' conclusion that from the standpoint of a mem- ber of the Catholic Church, a victory o the Franco forces in Spain isdesirable. It is important to remember that one cannot remain neutral in the Spanish Civil War. In regard to American policy one either supports the maintenance of the embargo against Spain or opposes it. There is no doubt that the em- bargo as now operative allows the shipment of war materials to Franco via Italy and Germany and cuts off similar supplies from the legitimate government of Spain. To favor the status quo means to actively aid Franco-to argue that the embargo should be dropped is to favor the Loyal- ists. There is no middle path. Ernest Sutherland Bates, in the article to which the letter replies, said: "what liberal Protestants insist upon knowing is whether some of our professedly liberal Catholic friends . . . give more, than lip-service to the American principle of the separation of Church and State (which is an accepted principle in the Loyalist Spain Republic). The unpleasant suspicion will not down that some of them-by no means all -support it only as a strategic measure when they are in a minority and that they really mean by "religious liberty" liberty for no one but Catholics." An official publication of the Rebel govern- ment, What Is "The New Spirit" . . ., written by Jose Premartin, a member of the Burgos min- istry, presents some interesting material on the intentions of the Franco government. It is perti- nent to ask Catholics who actively or passively support the Insurgents in Spain whether they are suited by this program in regard to religion. We quote from Premartin: "We have said before, that we in Spainhad the right to be more papist than the Pope; in the same way we can be more Fascist than Fascism itself . . Fascism is a religious concep- tion,' Mussolini has written. Spanish Fascism will be, then, the religion of Religion." "We must be absolutely intolerant of ideolo- gies and opinions contrary to the Catholic religion, and their propaganda must be absolute- ly and decisively banished in all its forms, be it political, philosophical or proselytizixig for false religions." "If we want to be real Fascists, we must sup- port ourselves on our fundamental national ideol- ogy which is Catholic." "The Catholic religion must be declared the official religion of the State." ."No proselytism, public or private, will be allowed in favor of other religions." "No public worship of any other religion will be permitted." "All the laws of the Church and its jurisdiction as they are expressed in the existing canonical code, will be recognized as includedorganically in the juridical statute of the Spanish State." ". ..the Spanish State will include annually A Reply To Mr. Bates To the Editor: In the Feb. 26 issue of, the Daily there ap- peared Ernest S. Bates' open letter addressed to Msgr. Sheen. In this letter the statement is mad, that "the American principle of the Separation of Church and State" is "an accepted principle of the Loyalist Spain Republic." To what extent this may be true will perhaps appear from a con- sideration of the Spanish Constitution of Dec. 9, 1931. Section 26. All religious denominations are to be considered as associations subject to a special law. The Society of Jesus (the Jesuits),-although not specifically mentioned, yet unmistakably indi- cated, is to be dissolved and its properties nation- alined. The other religious orders are to be subject to a special law voted by the Constituent Cortes and this law is to be based upon certain prin- ciples. According to these principles the religious orders permitted to .exist must be inscribed on a specia register under the control of the Minister' of Jstice; their property may be nationalized; religious orders may not engage in industry, com- merce or teaching; they are to be restricted in the acquisition and retention of property either by themselves or through others. Section 27. Cemeteries are to be subject ex- clusively to the civil authority and no separations may be made In them for religious reasons. While religious denominations may carry on worship privately, public manifestations of worship must in each instance be authorized by .the govern- ment. Section 48. The right of churches to teach their respective establishments is recognized, but the state reserves the right of control. Pursuant to these provisions the Cortes, in January, 1932, enacted a law disbanding the Jesuits and confiscated their property. On March 24, 1933, th Cortes formally ap- proved the law for the nationalization of all Catholic church properties including churches, episcopal palaces, rectories, seminaries, etc., and all ornaments, pictures, etc. On May 17, 1933, the Cortes enacted a law of Confessions and Congregations which places religious orders in charge of the Minister or Justice. They are prohibited from buying property other than that intended for living and the practice of religion and also from engaging in industry, commerce, and teaching. -W. A. McLaughlin Brotherhood Day Today is Brotherhood Day, the key day of a Brotherhood Week which is being observed not only on this campus, but in more than 2,000 other communities throughout the United States. Today in each of these 2,000 centers programs will be carried out with this end in view. Round tables on common problems are typical of the activities arranged for Brotherhood Day. At Cor- nell observance will be built around a radio broadcast over WESG, with prominent speakers representing each of the three general religious faiths-Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant. At a time when society is threatened by an increasing conflict among persons of varying creeds, the value of Brotherhood Week is un- mistakable. It gives emphasis to the fundamental principles of the "American way," that while maintaining the right to differ in creeds, all per- sons must be guided by a spirit of cooperation and friendship in common undertakings and in the solution of common problems. -Cornell Daily Sun A Texan reports the theft of, forty hives of bees. You are requested to notify the authorities if you see a man wearing more than seventy-five yards of bandages. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21--Sen. Warren Austin of Vermont is a staunch party man and he is the ranking Republican on the Senate Military Affairs Committee. He hasn't any fondness for the New Deal or any of its works and has said so publicly and privately on enough occasions to establish him certainly as far from an Adminis- tration supporter. In fact, by all the tests that can be offered at the moment, he is about as competent a judge of whether President Roose- velt violated the neutrality of America by order- ing bombing planes to be sold to France as any- body in the Government could be under the present circumstances. And Senator Austin says frankly that, after an exhaustive study of the whole episode, he has come to the conclusion that the sale of the planes to the French was a good thing, that it did not involve any secret alliances or entanglements with a foreign country, and that, on the whole, the sale was beneficial rather than detrimental to our own military establishment. Mr. Austin remarked to reporters that his patriotism came first and his Republicanism second, which was only another way of saying that, when national defense questions arise, he would not allow partisanship to influence what he was willing to say publicly, even though it happened to be a word that vindicated a posi- tion taken -by a political opponent. This attitude on the part of Senator Austin is important, because, for a while, Republicanism suffered here the charge that it was dragging partisanship into national defense. The Vermont Senator's frank declaration will do a great deal to offset the hasty prejudices which were formed throughout the country among those who were beginning to see President Roosevelt as anxious to "drag America into war." So far as can be ascertained today, the whole episode about the sale of the planes to the French was a sort of tempest in a teapot. It had its origin unquestionably in fears that arose among army officers here that France would get a priority of delivery which would interfere with production of planes for our own use, or that the French would have some superior machine to ours. It is true also that, when there was a conflict of view inside the Government, the President had to take full responsibility for mak- ing a decision, and, after getting data and advice from all sides, came t the conclusion that the' war department was unduly apprehensive. With the passage of time, it is evident also that the army officers now feel that the objections they had have been met by further information. Authentic information has been developed in the Senate's inquiry to show that fulfillment of foreign orders is not going to interfere with the, making of aircraft for the use of the United States Army, and that nothing has been done which will impair the quality or superiority of our aircraft. Looking over the affair, which was seized upon for some rather vehement comment here on Capitol Hill, it may be that the internal friction relating to airplane sale might have been avoided. AMUI Piatigors ky Recital PROGRAM Sonata.........................Handel Sonata in E minor, Op. 38 ........ Brahms Introduction and Polonaise Brillante, Chopin Sonata ......................... Debussy Oriental ...................... Karjinsky Scherzo........ ............Piatigorsky Piece en forme de Habanera........Ravel La Campanella................Paganini A modern Paganini of the cello-tall, somber, head-tossing, and conjuring fantastic sounds with magical arm and fingers-is Gregor Piati- gorsky. His return to Hill Auditorium last night showed a technique that is as matchless as ever. Rapid scales in double stos, melodies in har- monics, interminable trills, as well as honeyed legato phrases, all flow with magical ease and perfection from the instrument of the Russian virtuoso. His tone, while on the smallish side and sometimes unduly covered by the piano, is always clear and dulcet and never rough. Even the most rapid staccatto tones are clearly and defin- itely phrased. All the wide resources of modern violoncello technique are seen at their highest in Piatigorsky. By nature the artist is intensely masculine and dynamic. and his interpretive style is always based on qualities of power and strong contrast. His playing is fiery with what is known as "pas- sion," but his sentiment is purely and brusquely masculine. Foremost in his style is an element of volatility, of caprice, such as is admirably voiced in the Minuetto of the Brahms. E minor Sonata. Always there are pressings and surg- ings, springing from the impulsiveness and boy- ish good humor of the inner artist. Such is the Piatigorsky style, and it is one which dominates everything it touches from Handel to Chopin. The gorgeous Brahms Sonata is filled with eloquence and surpassing beauty, carrying the conviction that thus and only thus does the music reach its true height. The little- heard Opus 3 of Chopin it also illuminated with poetry and melodic glow. The transcribed Handel Sonata, in itself a work of great, if perhaps un- even, beauty, had somewhat less in common with The FLYING TRAPEZE By Roy Heath Eagle Man . . It is with keen anticipation that I look forward to the appearance of Capt. C.W.R. Knight, "The Eagle Man," at Hill Auditorium. My reasons For such anticipation are several andj bordering on anti-social.t In the first place, I do not think that Captain Knight will bring up the questions of God, marital rela- tions, or dormitories; questions which seem to be perplexing everyone ac- cording to recent campus polls. In the second place, there is always the chance that one of the Captafn's fowls might make a break for the door. (I was doing very well with this until Sec Terry appeared to plague1 me. It seems that he doesnt quite understand from the foregoing mat-l ter, just what eagles I am talking about or what Capt. Knight is doing with them.) All right, Captain Knight, as almost everyone but Sec Terry knows, is a naturalist of some note who goes1 about displaying live eagles to any- one willing to pay for a ticket. Now, I believe, with that matter cleared1 up, we can get back to the point. As I was saying, it would add al great deal to the life of the party if one of the captain's truculent squabs should suddenly make a powerl dive for the exits. It would not onlyI make for a certain unrest among the spectators, it would probably clear the hall. There is also another potential situ-I ation in the prospect of a man with a live eagle addressing a studentf audience. Suppose they call upon1 him to "peel off." It would be inter-r esting to watch a man struggling to5 pull off his pants with one hand while endeavoring to hold an irritable eagle in the other. Virtuoso of the aviary that Capt. Knight is, I doubt if he will be able to cope with that situa- tion should it arise. * * * Success Stories Shunned.. There are many more interesting manners in which to spend an eve- ning than to sit in awed and respect- ful silence while successful persons I relate the harrowing details of their climb to success. A majority of Michi- gan's freshmen remembered them all last Thursday night. Freshmen stayed, away from the1 Union "Activities Smoker" in droves. Not even the prospect of hearing Robert Canning recite the epic of his rise to head cheer leader, secretary of the Interfraternity Council and Michigan's number one chewing gum plugger, could lure the frosh out of their holes and into the Union. Theyf just didn't seem to give a damn. It seems to me that the Union chosei the wrong audience for their displayY of strictly All-Star talent. The fresh-r men are not particularly interested in how the incumbent headmen got the way they are. Anyone knows that the freshmen start out with the idear that they can do a better job than is being done. If they didn't feel that way they would quit in sheer despond. What the Union should have done was to throw the lecture open to, disgruntled seniors. Let each B.M.O.C.t mount the rostrum and tell exactly the devious ways he was forced to travel in reaching his present Olympiane pinnacle. Make them dispense withe the old soap they handed the frosht about hard work and honest applica-i tion and get down to brass tacks. The . Union could sell tickets to a public confessional like that.t Bogatelles , . . Despite valiant effort on the part of their anchorman, Derwood Lasky, Phi Kappa Sigma's entry in the Pufft And Blow League relay race was un- able to whip a staggering but con-1 scientious Phi Delt team Friday night., In consequence the Brothers of the3 Skull and Bones were out of pocket to the tune of $25 which they duly paid off like gentlemen on Saturday. In the envelope with the currency was found the following note from Phi Kap matchmaker, Bob Archer: "We also have five dates if you can afford them. We can't." . . . Speak-7 ing of dates, Marty Dworkis informs me that he has been appointed agent for a very acceptable number on campus. He gave me her specifi- cations and will furnish her phone number and further details to in- terested parties ...It was something of a surprise- to people who always thought of Michigan's ace two-miler Ralph Schwarzkopf as a rather harm-- less individual to see a recent picture of him in the Detroit News under the caption "Beast (sic) By Test." I for one will admit that I always de- tected a "certain look in his eye" . This space will shortly carry contri- butions from a Sec Terry contributor, one W. Seymour Equator, who quit Terry in disgust. Applications will be considered mediately. DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN Publication in the Bulletin is constructive notice to all members of the University.
