Q.—May I join the Knights

—Hofbauer—
The Communist methods of propagating their doc-
trines and gaining sympathizers are many and subtle.
Our Associated Press dispatches are confusing, and
misleading for the uninformed. The government forces
in Spain are styled as “Loyalists”, “Republicans", and
“Liberals*” whilst the forces that rebelled against the
present government imbued with Communism of Russia,
the government that fell prey to Communists, and ceased
to govern justly, offering very little protection to Ca-
tholics, and their old long time established traditions.
Perhaps the only way to put an end to this was a re-
bellion that grew into revolution.
Exclusion of Catholics from office holding, burn-
ing of churches, massacres of priests speak for themselves.
For this reason those Catholics, lined under the banner of
the cause to save their count ry from Communism, can
hardly lie styled rebels.

Red Desecration
—THE S. A. LIGHT-
DESECRATION of a statue of the Christ child by
Spanish Communists is a shocking demonstration of the
indignities heaped upon a prostrate people when the red
terror is in its ascendancy.
Spanish government guards bound a pistol in the
hand of the sacred figure in front of the historic church
of St. Jose, clothed the statue in red trousers and stuck
cartridges in the belt.
That such a thing could happen in a civilized country
is inconceivable. The answer is that a country sub-
mitting to domination by Communists is no longer civilized.
Communism is a reversion to the jungle, with its con.
tempt for all the laws and morals of God and of intelli-
gent mankind.
School Law
—AMERICA—
Catholics are obliged in conscience to give their chil-
dren a Catholic education. To fulfill this duty without
the aid of a Catholic school is possible, but never easy.

away. The dinner consis-
ted of barbecue beef and
poultry, with other good
things, all donated by the
parishioners who worked
hard with their pastor to
make this event another suc-
