Nothing Strange

A German and a Swiss met in a hotel in Berne.

The Swiss, when asked what was his office, said he was an admiral in the Swiss navy.

“But,” said the German, “there is no navy in Switzerland.”

“What does that matter?” replied the Swiss; “is there not a Minister for Justice in Germany?”

Jesuitized Albion (In Two Parts—Part 2)

THERE are many clergymen in the Church of England who are sympathetic toward Rome's forward movement in England. Such clergymen adroitly put their feelings into words, generally protesting that they are not pro-Roman, though their obvious ignorance, whether willing or otherwise, of the first principles of Christianity indicates that they are partly if not entirely bejesuited (to use an expression employed by Milton).

One of these clergymen, rejoicing over the fact that Rome would again have an envoy in England, for the first time in 400 years, indicates that he looks to Rome for salvation from the threatening dangers to what he is pleased to call "Christianity". The lessons of history, not to speak of the admonitions of Scripture, seem to have been wholly lost on Vicar George Braithwaite of St. Stephen's, Oldham. Otherwise, why this looking to Rome and prating at the same time about the "Ideal held up by Christ"? What is the connection?

The largeness of heart with which so-called "Protestants" favor Rome does not seem to be reciprocated. It must have been a huge satisfaction to the pope to have the British agree with Mussolini that only Italian Roman Catholic missionaries may henceforth be sent to Ethiopia. Protestant missionaries are excluded. (Chamberlain is well-named, and the pope should make him one of his own chamberlains in recognition of his services.)

In countries where the Roman system is represented by a minority, its agents are pleased to co-operate with other "faiths" in a show of liberality and tolerance, although even then they try to steal the show; but in countries where Rome rules, Protestants are the victims of invidious discriminations, if they are not excluded altogether.

In a meeting of "faiths" at Royal Albert Hall, December 1, protest was made against persecutions in Germany. Cardinal Hinsley, all decked out in his scarlet robes, was the main attraction. The archbishop of York, representative of the so-called "Church of England", wasn't in it, although he represented a much larger "faith" group than the scarlet-robed one. He should have worn yellow robes.

The bishop of Croydon, W. L. Anderson, makes an admission of ignorance and shows he knows precious little about the Bible, which is all to the good, as far as Rome is concerned. He remarked, speaking to the unemployed, on October 24, "Nobody is more conscious than I that our conceptions of God are in places out of date . . . I do find it rather dull to think of twanging harps all day long."

There is an occasional lucid moment in the lives of clergymen. The archbishop of Canterbury, in a statement published in the London Daily Express, remarked, "It sometimes looks as if the world were, for the present, under the domination of evil spirits." That is exactly the case, as a matter of fact. If clergymen would keep that fact in mind, so plainly stated in Scripture, they would not be so eager to align themselves with the world and with the "friend of the world" at Rome.

In the county of London, out of 7,500,000 people, fewer than 400,000 regularly attend any church; which shows that the inhabitants of the world's biggest city have had about all the religion they care for. It would seem as if in such a populace there would be a goodly number that will take their stand for real Christianity when they know what it is, and that it is the exact opposite of religion, for which it is apparent they have no use.

There is a goodly number of Englishmen that are dimly aware of the Jesuitizing that is being carried on in darkness, and which has a finger in every pie, influencing government, cinema, radio, press and religious groups.*

* See "Secret Instructions of the Jesuits", Consolation No. 479. Also page 26 in this issue.

An organization named “The Council for Investigation of Vatican Influence and Censorship” has been formed in London. The C. I. V. I. C. purposes to investigate the subversive activities of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy and to publish the facts. It has a big job on its hands.

Like Vicar George Braithwaite, Roger Babson, famous statistician, realizes and has widely circulated the statement that humanity must make its choice between Christ and Collapse. That is true, and “Christendom”, of which England is a prominent part, has already made the choice: Christ has been rejected; His reign is not desired, and His followers and witnesses are not desired. The result of this choice, the Collapse of “Christendom”, will come in Armageddon.

Among the reasons for this collapse is the fact that its religious leaders are among the International Murderers. Among the racketeers holding shares in the British armament companies are 32 clergymen, including bishops and archdeacons. An official of the Y.M.C.A. holds more than 20,000 shares in a company building battleships.

Waiting for Guidance

Dr. F. N. D. Buchman, leader of the Oxford Group, in a speech broadcast in England and the United States, said, “The world is waiting for guidance.” Let us see. How long is it since Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life”? For what is the world waiting? For what is Dr. Buchman waiting? The world, particularly the professed Christian world, and still more especially the English-speaking world, has had the Scriptures for many centuries. The circulation of the Bible in the last century has been phenomenal if not miraculous. It shows what sincere effort in a given right direction can accomplish.

In the year 1802 “Reverend” Thomas Charles asked the Tract Society to publish a cheap edition of the Welsh Bible, and added, “and if for Wales, why not for the whole world?” with the result that portions of Holy Writ are now to be had in over a thousand languages. The thousandth tongue was the African tongue of Sakata.

The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, of Brooklyn, New York, and the International Bible Students Association, of London, England, have circulated millions of books containing sincere, common-sense, spiritual and helpful studies in the Bible. These same organizations have broadcast by radio and every other means at their command the gospel of Christ’s kingdom and a reasonable answer to the question, “What doth the Lord require of thee?” The world, “Christendom,” England, does not want for guidance. What is wanting is the willingness to accept the guidance available. Jehovah’s witnesses call attention to this fact.

Little by little Roman practices are being introduced into the Church of England, professedly Protestant. The vicar of Littlehampton indulges in the “blessing” of automobiles, but not in the way pedestrians generally “bless” them. He walks along a row of these deadly instruments, reciting prayers and sprinkling them with “holy” water. It is all done in regular style.

“Leaders” and others in the Church of England, however, do not seem to mind. J. W. Hope, of Suffolk, England, remarks the trend Romeward as follows:

Before coming to a knowledge of the truth I was an altar-server in the parish church of Lowestoft of the Church of England. It was very noticeable that each time a new priest came he introduced a bit more ritual, and now I see that two of the curates walk the streets with their cassocks [black nightshirts] on, a thing they formerly never dreamed of doing. When they had to take them with them, they rolled them up around their waists, under their coats, so as not to be seen. In the Sunday schools we were taught that the Reformation came about because England had become filled with Italian priests who neglected their work. The ritual was explained to us as the true worship that was instituted in the early church, and that the robes worn by the priests were of the same style as those worn by the apostles.

Where the “peaceful penetration” illustrated in the foregoing paragraph seems inadequate or unnecessary, other methods are employed, for instance:

At 2:30 in a morning of last year, 24 masked and armed men came to Portland Park House, Portumna, Ireland, awakened the inmates, and told them they had come to burn the house, with its contents. The house was to have been used as a home for Protestant orphans. One of these men told the woman of the house, Mrs. Densmore, that they did not like burning the house, but that they had their orders. The 25-room house, with its contents of furniture and other comforts intended for those bereft of parents, was burned to the ground, and the 24 servants of the Devil went back to the son of the Devil who sent them, to tell him that they had done as they were bid. When the religious gangster that instigated this crime perishes at Armageddon, every decent person that knows the facts will offer praise to God.

Immediately after the liberty of the Protestant country of Czechoslovakia was taken away, there was a demand from Dublin that the British Government hand over Northern Ireland to the 'tender mercies' of the crowd ruled by Rome.

There is a measure of truth in the claim made by Eamon de Valera, prime minister of Ireland, that Britain is foreign to Ireland, but he is wrong in holding that Britain should for that reason cease “interfering” in the affairs of Ireland by keeping the North and the South apart. The Protestant Irish have no desire to be anything but apart from the Rome-controlled part of the Emerald Isle.

Elsewhere in the Commonwealth

Canada has virtually surrendered to Rome. Though Quebec's Padlock Law is known to be unconstitutional, not a single vote against it was cast in a legislature of 115 members. The law could have been denounced by the Minister of Justice, Ernest Lapointe, but he failed to do so; and you can guess why. The new leader of the Conservative party, Dr. Manion, is a Catholic.

M. Leo Sweeney, manufacturer, Vancouver, British Columbia, advises the Canadian Government to go Nazi. Seems as if the advice were hardly needed. A five-column picture in the New York World-Telegram shows Adrien Arcand, and other members of his and Mr. Sweeney's own beliefs, religious and political, drilling with the men that he declares he will use in a march on Ottawa to install just such a government.

The Roman Hierarchy is about ready to seize Canada and that country may go Fascist at almost any time. In the city of Quebec the "Reverend Father" Pierre Gravel openly proposed a revolution, hailing dictators as the saviors of the world. The plan for seizing Ottawa involves the departure from Montreal at 6 p.m. sharp in cars and trucks of the forces that are to co-operate with traitors in Ottawa for the seizure of Parliament, telegraph, and radio stations, and the declaration that Fascism has gained control. A French paper, L'Autorité, anti-Fascist, in some way came into possession of the plans of Adrien Arcand and his fellow Fascists and gave them wide publicity.

Jesuitized Australia

Sydney Town Hall, refused to Judge Rutherford for the purpose of declaring the warning that "Christendom" is about to perish because of its refusal to take its stand on God's side, was granted to the Nazi raider Von Luckner for three days in the month of June. During the World War Von Luckner sent to the bottom thousands of tons of British vessels. There is no question Judge Rutherford is anti-Nazi and that the forces which closed this Australian auditorium to him are pro-Nazi and anti-British.

The Nazi protagonist, otherwise known as the lord mayor of Sydney, Australia, has been asked to resign because of his insufferable treatment of Christians. Mr. Alex. MacGillivray, who made the request, suggests the following plaque be put upon the Sydney Town Hall:

This hall is not for the use of the citizens of Sydney who are Christians, but is reserved only for those of Catholic Action and Fascist tendencies, and particularly for representatives of Germany who may visit this country.

This suggestion was published in the Sydney Daily Telegraph and the Sydney Labor Daily.

The "Reverend Father" Kelly, Roman Catholic archbishop of Sydney, Australia, states that conditions are now worse than they were many years ago, when he read that—Australia is a country where the trees shed their bark instead of their leaves, flowers have no perfume, birds have no song, and women have no virtue.

The Australian newspapers gladly tout an apostle of such slanders against reason and common sense, so as to uphold the Roman racket, but reserve all their meanness to attack the truth of God’s Word when it comes to them by a real Christian gentleman, Judge Rutherford. What a disgrace!

January 6, 1939, Australia's prime minister, Joseph Aloysius Lyons, called down H. G. Wells, noted author, for making derogatory remarks about Hitler and Mussolini, calling them 'personal insults' to those worthy characters.

In New Zealand Too

The following by the "Reverend Father" Francis Walsh, of Wellington, New Zealand, in a lecture to the Catholic Club at Masterton, New Zealand, is another straw in the wind.

Catholic critics of his [Mussolini's] régime do not seem to realize the tremendous progress the Church has made in Italy during the last twelve years. Even grant that it is a policy of opportunism: it still remains true that it is Fascism as inspired by Mussolini that has rendered possible such a state of affairs. The Holy Father who appreciates the historic difficulties which have been cleared away, described Il Duce to a pilgrimage of University students as "a man sent by God" (uomo Providenziale).

At Wellington, New Zealand, the bishop of that city, the "Right Reverend" H. St. Barbe Holland, stated to the Dominion conference of the Church of England Men's Society that—

The Church appears to be slipping altogether in New Zealand, to be slipping over the precipice into oblivion.

Don't laugh!

Colonies Next to Go

That the next step in the Montagu Norman-Adolf Hitler deal is now about to be made is indicated in a Cape Town dispatch in the London Daily Herald that South Africa's government is planning the calling of a conference at which the disposition of all Africa will be rehashed, and Germany will get its desires.

Presumably the next thing on the bill of fare for Jamaica is out-and-out Fascism. The reason for suggesting this is that the new governor will be Sir Arthur Frederick Richards, until June, 1938, the governor of Fiji. It was the outrageous conduct of the officials of Fiji, under this governor, that deprived the people of those islands from hearing a presentation of the message of God's Kingdom by Judge Rutherford, on his recent trip to Australia. God's true people in Jamaica, as in Fiji, Germany and other dark places, are probably in for a hard time.

In his Munich speech on the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of the unsuccessful Munich Putsch, Hitler said, "Beyond the colonial question Germany has no demands to make on France and Great Britain." He also said, "There are certainly men in power in France and Great Britain who want peace, but there are other men who do not conceal that they want war with Germany."

Not only is Chamberlain acceptable to Hitler; he is also approved by the pope. The London Catholic Herald contains an article with a two-column heading entitled, "Chamberlain is supported by the Vatican. His calm is our hope for peace." This confirms the conclusion that Chamberlain, by yielding to demands of Mussolini, Hitler and Franco, is doing what the pope wants done.

Britain, in its surrender to the Nazis, dragged France with her. Part of what France lost in the betrayal of Czechoslovakia is that the disheartened Czechs made no effort to prevent the Germans from learning all the secrets of their French-designed Maginot line, and now the Germans know as much about the Maginot line between France and Germany as the French know.

The Italian government is one of the many that are engaged in the highly laudable and honorable work of seeing that nobody intervenes in the war in Spain. One slight difficulty, however, is that the said government has thus far landed troops or munitions to help Franco on thirty-nine occasions; at least that is the claim made by the officials of the Spanish Republic. The situation is much like that of a watchman employed to take care of a property. He breaks in and helps himself thirty-nine times. Could you blame the house owner if, after a time, he becomes suspicious that the watchman is not all he should be? On August 23, 1938, Count Galeazzo Ciano, Italian Foreign minister, and son-in-law of Il Duce, formally admitted to the British chargé d'affaires that Italy was sending fresh armies and war material to the Rebel armies. There was no way of lying out of the evidence presented.

Now that the Anglo-Italian accord has been ratified, Great Britain formally recognizes the Italian conquest of Ethiopia; but Italian troops have not been withdrawn from Spain as agreed when the accord was reached. What is that old saw about "honor among diplomats"?

British Foreign Secretary Halifax, in a speech before the House of Lords, said, "We understand that the British-Italian agreement does not hinder Premier Mussolini from doing everything in his power to win a victory for General Franco." Why, of course not. Who thought it did?

When the German battleship Deutschland left Gibraltar for Cadiz the British battle-cruiser Hood did the handsome thing. Its band played "Deutschland über Alles" just after it was decided at Munich to deliver Czechoslovakia to Hitler.

The British schoolboy who is reported to have said, "The prevailing religion in England is hypocrisy," was probably not far wrong. While willing to play "Deutschland über Alles", England is going to do what it can to forestall such an eventuality. It may be willing to have "Deutschland über Alles" in Czechoslovakia and some other places, but to have it "über Alles" in Britain is something else again.

True, over 57 British ships have been attacked in Spanish waters and several British subjects killed, and the British Government announced that it would do nothing about it. The ships were lawfully in pursuit of their legitimate trade. They had on board only agreed merchandise. The attacks were deliberate, not accidental, and after several of the ships had been bombed the crews were machine-gunned. But Britain appears to be complaisant.

Men's Hearts Failing Them

It is no wonder men's hearts are failing them for fear. Airplane factories in California are working day and night to increase Britain's supply of war planes; British telephone operators are being trained to work with gas masks; steel concerns are advertising steel cellars which may be buried in gardens; and a whole nation is trying to make a curtain to prevent bombers from getting in.

Americans can hardly appreciate the pathetic attempts to live, as disclosed in the British papers published at the height of the Czechoslovakian crisis. Just before the Munich conference the London Daily Express published instructions on how to make a refuge for six persons at a distance of 20 feet from the home. It would be 10 feet long, 4½ feet deep, 3½ feet wide at the base, and 4½ feet wide at the top. There would be cinders in the bottom; there would be a roof of corrugated iron, with a little slope to it; entrance would be by lifting a portion of the roof.

Britain reports a World War veteran who hung himself because of the furore created by possible gas attacks. At nearly every lecture on poison gas someone fainted. Women fainted in the streets of London during an air-raid test. A volunteer air warden died from the strain after leaving a gas chamber.

The London Daily Herald contained a picture occupying a half page, labeled "Gas-masks and bombs at a wedding". It shows a "church" with a huge cross and upon it a life-size figure being crucified. In the foreground are guests wearing gas masks, steel helmets and decontamination suits. The bride and bridegroom passed out through an archway of incendiary bomb scoops.

When the 400 military planes bought in the United States the first week in June are delivered to Britain, it is just possible the tone of British diplomacy toward Italy and Germany may change somewhat; for those planes, it is confidently believed, will outfly and outfight anything else now flying in the skies, and in the hands of British flyers would be almost certain to do so. Britain has the money, it has the men, and history indicates that when it has the necessary airships it would seem to be a good time for somebody to watch his steps.

It seems that Britain intends to make her military air equipment second to none. It has already a tremendous advantage in commercial aviation.

First Place in Aviation

First place in aviation is claimed by Britain, which has 80,000 miles in operation as against 63,600 miles in the United States. Over 3,300,000 miles were flown in Britain in 1937, and 161,000 passengers and 1,300 tons of freight and mails were carried without one serious accident. An excellent record.

Nine days to Australia by air is considered only a start. The Imperial Airways now have biweekly service from London to Sydney, Australia, by seaplanes. The schedule, nine days at first, is to be changed to seven days after a little. Departures from England are on Thursday and Sunday.

Flight from Egypt to Australia has already been made in two days. Three British bombers flew nonstop from Ismailia, Egypt, to Darwin, Australia, a flight of 7,162 miles, in 48 hours and 5 minutes after their take-off. The final 800 miles of this distance record was made in a driving tropical rain. The total distance flown was 856 miles greater than the Russian flight from Moscow to San Jacinto, California, and done in 14 hours less time.

Three days to Sydney is the schedule envisaged for the not far distant future. The Royal Netherlands Indies Airways announce their intention of putting on a three-day schedule between London and Sydney, Australia, in 1941. Passengers will fly in sealed cabins above the weather, at a height of four to five miles above the earth. Forty passengers will be carried by day, and 26 by night.

Pickaback flying, too, may prove advantageous in case of war. The British have proved that a big flying machine can carry a small flying machine on its back, rise into the air, gain momentum, and the smaller plane can then be detached and can (and did) fly the Atlantic ocean, the mother plane remaining in the homeland. Military men see some possibilities in this invention, but it is not known if it is valuable otherwise.

It now appears that by the end of 1939 Britain will have 6,000 fast fighting planes and that this will be twice as many as Germany had in the big bluff of September, 1938. The so-called "statesmen" of the world spread abroad the alleged misinformation that Hitler had 10,000 planes at his command, when he had but 3,000; at least so it is claimed.

A single-seat fighting monoplane, called the "British Super-Marine Spitfire 1", is the world's fastest military aircraft. The Air Ministry stated that this ship has a speed of 350 miles an hour. A thousand are being built.

London financiers have expressed the opinion that the threat of a trade-war with Germany has tended to make the Nazis somewhat more reasonable and willing to talk things over with a view to a trade agreement.

The Durham Miners' Association, by its executive committee, sent a resolution to the German ambassador, Prime Minister Chamberlain, Lord Halifax, and others protesting against "the cruel iniquities" perpetrated by the Nazis, which, the resolution stated, "relegated the Nazi government and its supporters to the depths of barbarism." The resolution protested against a proposed visit of Goering to England. The Miners' Association has 120,000 members.

Havens for Refugees

Chamberlain wanted to provide havens for Jewish refugees from Germany. So he suggested East Africa and British Guiana in South America — humid equatorial jungle lands full of snakes and wild beasts. The poor Jews are trying to get away from the snakes and wild beasts in Germany now. Mr. Chamberlain's proposal is ironical.

The 11,000 refugees from Austria and Germany who have settled in Britain on guarantees that they had friends there and that they would not disturb employment have, in fact, increased it. They have been instrumental in employing 15,000 British workmen in the industries which they have set up.

Jesuits were terror-stricken lest the little Basque refugees should come to the United States and tell the truth about what goes on in Spain, but Britain took thousands of them and still has some. A group of these little folks earned $1,500 in a three weeks' tour of English cities, repeating dances which they learned in the home of their fathers, and this sum enables them to stay in hospitable England another winter.

Sir Samuel Hoare, in addressing the House of Commons concerning the question of admitting more German Jews to England, said, "There is the making of a definite anti-Jewish movement." The C. I. V. I. C. might do a little investigating as to the Jesuit influence back of this movement. Anti-Semitism has long been a feature of Catholic Action, and dates from the Middle Ages.

A writer in the London Tablet (Roman Catholic) explains that in the Middle Ages the Jews were compelled to wear bright red to show their blood-guiltiness for Christ's death, but lights were poor in those days and on one occasion a cardinal embraced a Jew under the impression that he was a fellow cardinal. That was tough on the Jew. The cardinal was so mad that he used his influence to have the Jews thereafter clothed in yellow instead of red, and that is how the Jews came to wear yellow.

Anti-Semitism is a feature of all the Rome-endorsed dictatorships, and is now making its appearance in the United States through the influence of Priest Coughlin and his sheet "Social Justice". The Jews are in for a tough time everywhere if the Anglo-Fascist-Nazi lineup ultimately reaches and includes the United States as an extension of Jesuitized Albion, which is not unlikely.

By no means all Britishers, as has been seen, are admirers of Nazism and its Fuehrer. The London News-Chronicle of August 27 said facetiously:

Congratulations to our brother in literature Adolf Hitler, whose best-seller Mein Kampf has just passed the 4,000,000 mark. Congratulations also to Otto Bopp, "Dusty" Schnitzelbaum, Heinie Plugheimer, Frau Amalie ("Slogger") Gumpels, and Fritzie Dudelwasser, who were overheard some time ago refusing to buy a copy and are now able to get around in bathchairs.

At a trade exhibition at Dartford, Kent, Lord Hollenden, recently a guest of Hitler, was giving a lecture on the Press, in which he said, "The feeling is growing that we shall not get things right until we get control of the Press of the country"; whereupon one of his auditors brought down the house by saying, "Send for Hitler." Seriously, however, that seems not necessary. All that seems needed is for Hitler to summon Chamberlain and tell him what he wants done, and it shall be as he says.

Such protesting voices would, however, become weaker and fewer the more the Jesuit scheme for a bigger and more perfidious Albion progressed. Wait!

Even a prime minister must not presume to speak out of turn. Learning that Chamberlain intended to deplore, in his speech, the vituperation of German press attacks on British statesmen, the entire Nazi diplomatic staff and fifteen German correspondents refused to attend the dinner of the Foreign Press Association in London, December 13. How's that for lining them up? And don't think that this was done without the knowledge and consent of Hitler and his advisers.*

Whatever the Jesuit scheme for Albion may envisage, it unquestionably includes provision for a dictatorship in some form, even though lip-worship may continue to be given to "democracy".

The British "Conservatives", so called, seem not to be troubled by the forward march of Nazism and Fascism. Absorption of Memel by Germany is but part of the process which these Conservatives call "unification". They contend that Germans living in other countries have a right to self-determination. Absorption of Memel by Germany would be excused upon this pretext. Denmark will go soon.

But what about the self-determination of the following towns absorbed by Germany in which the majority were Czechoslovakians:

Town No. of Czechs No. of Germans

Znojmo 11,691 7,988

Breslav 9,534 2,028

British Ambassadors

The British ambassadors to Albania, Italy, Norway, Sweden and Venezuela are Roman Catholics, and the wives of the ambassadors to France, Russia and Uruguay are Roman Catholics.

It was said at the League of Nations assembly that there would be no war in Europe as long as there was one small state left that could be sacrificed. The process of unification, which the British Conservatives say should not be resisted, may in time lead Germany to demand Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands. In each of these countries German or a Germanic language is spoken. Becoming stronger with each new acquisition, Germany may in time go so far as to demand the Scandinavian countries, as they are in line, being inhabited by Teutonic peoples. Even the French could, by a stretch of the linguistic principle, be included in the unification program, for in its language there are many German elements. Italy and Spain would in time seem only peninsular extensions of the Germanic mainland.

Albion would be next; for is not the English race Aryan and its royal family largely of German blood? Certain members of the royal family are believed to be pro-Nazi. A noted English author, commenting on the proposed visit of the duke of Windsor to England, said, "If Edward, duke of Windsor, is brought back to England by Chamberlain, it is because Edward is a Nazi."

The Last Stand?

A Jesuit priest, M. Oliver Semmes, of Kingston, Jamaica, expressed the belief, in an interview with the Boston Traveler, that the British Government is seriously considering the removal of its capital from London to Canada.

The North American continent is English. If it could also be made Catholic it would be a far more imposing see than Rome ever was. Have the Jesuits thought of that also? Life is short, but art is long. London and England are not the most desirable location for the capital and center of a world empire or commonwealth. They are unhealthy and congested.

The population of Greater London, with its area of 693 square miles, increased from 6,580,000 in 1901 to 8,200,000 in 1938. Within this area are 229 open spaces of 50 acres or more.

If the present falling birth rate in Britain continues for another thirty years, instead of there then being 7,500,000 children and adolescents between the ages of 7 and 18, there will be but 4,500,000, a reduction of 40 percent. In one school in London the roll fell from 550 to 230 in four years. Some schools are being closed. Young people training to be teachers find it hard to get any work.

The idea that the pope would even consider moving the center of Catholicism from Rome to America may seem preposterous to many. However, bear in mind that the Vatican is centuries old and in imminent danger of destruction by nature or man. Remember, too, that the pope's headquarters were at one time in France, for seventy years. But as to the British capital,

Hendrik Willem Van Loon, world-famed author, in his book Our Battle, says, "It is well within the realm of possibility that we shall see the sleepy little town of Ottawa become the residence of the Royal Family and hear that what remains of the British Empire after Adolph Hitler gets through with it will henceforth be ruled from the heart of the new world. I realize that I am writing this at a moment when a terrific crisis has overtaken the world, a crisis more serious than any other that has occurred since the end of the fifth century of our era, when the Roman government was no longer able to maintain itself in the ancient capital of the empire and transferred the centre of government from Rome to the city of Ravenna, which, being situated in the marshy plains of Eastern Italy, was less open to a surprise attack from the barbarians. If you and I live another ten years I feel convinced that we shall see a similar move on the part of the British government. For the London of the twentieth century is quite as vulnerable as the Rome of the fifth, only this time the danger will come from the air and not from the land or even the sea."

How far the Jesuits will progress with their program before Armageddon overtakes them remains to be seen. How successful they will be in balancing the more or less hostile forces of Fascism, Nazism and Albionism and coordinating them in a stand against Communism is also a question. That they will meet with a considerable degree of success for a time the Scriptures foretell. But that their triumph will be brief is likewise predicted with certainty. Jesuitized Albion may go far, but the ultimate triumph is reserved for him whose right it is, Christ Jesus, the Son and Vindicator of the Most High, Jehovah.

Gangsters Hang Together — and Should

◆ The American Civil Liberties Union, and other liberty lovers, began making it hot for the dictator of Jersey City, Frank Hague; and Frank, being nobody's fool, had the papers which he controls get on the job. The Jersey Observer had a scarehead clear across the front page of the paper, "Clergy Lauds Hague's Stand," followed by the information that "Priest and minister praise mayor's fight against the CIO here. Father Maloney of St. Aedans and Rev. Roper of Waverly Congregational declare that people of city are giving support which he deserves." What else would they do? All are racketeers together; none of them interested in God, in the Scriptures, in truth, in reason, in liberty, in the people, or in anything but themselves.

Clergy Organizing Fascism

◆ The Razón, daily newspaper of Bogota, Colombia, exposed the fact that in the effort to destroy the Colombian Republic the clergy have been organizing the workers into syndicates and that the "Reverend Father" Feliz Restrepo, Jesuit, let the cat out of the bag that the Roman Hierarchy, under the direction of the archbishop of Bogota, definitely intends to establish Fascism in Colombia. The paper points to the accursed results of Fascism in Italy, Germany, Portugal and the portion of Spain under Franco, and hopes Colombia may awake before too late.

Send on Your $11

◆ Send on your $11 to "Reverend Father" Ralph, S.V.D., Catholic University of Peking, 176 West Adams Street, Chicago, Illinois. $1 of this will get you 365 masses a year; $5 will do the same thing for every living member of your family; and the remaining $5 will go for the dead members. It should be explained that nobody living or dead will get one red cent's worth of benefit; but shouldn't you do something to help pay for the advertising?

Spiritism

Demons Impersonate the Living

◆ There are several well-authenticated cases of where the demons have impersonated the living, which, of course, is quite as easy as impersonating the dead. All that is necessary, in either case, is to hypnotize the subject into seeing something that is not there. Empress Catherine, of Russia, was once impersonated in the chair of state; she cried out in horror at the scene, which was also clear to all in her party. There was one instance where a British statesman (Dr. Mark Antony Macdonnell) was ill and did not leave his room for two days, and on both those days he was impersonated in the House of Commons and even voted in the division lobby. The poets Goethe and Shelley also personally met impersonations of themselves. Their minds were played upon into thinking they saw something which they did not see. This ability of these “lying spirits” (1 Kings 22:22) to lie direct to certain minds under certain circumstances is a most astonishing power for evil.

Somebody's Unwanted Baby

The Richmond Times-Dispatch tells “how Jesus’ little twin sister was “precipitated” to Mrs. Lucille Silver”. It is as elegant a piece of demonism as one would wish to read. The demons got Mrs. Silver all worked up mentally to believe she was going to be the recipient of a heaven-born youngster, second child of the virgin Mary. But another couple, one of whom at least is a spirit medium (witch—Bible), parted with one that, if it came from heaven, came by a roundabout route. But let Mrs. Silver tell her story, as in the Times-Dispatch:

The baby was given to her at about noon on July 11 after a voice spoke to her in a park and directed her to go to the end of the Chamberlayne Avenue bus line and wait there, Mrs. Silver said.

“I got off the bus and sat down to wait,” Mrs. Silver said. “July 11 was an awfully warm day, and the rays of the sun, together with the anticipation of what was about to transpire, soon had my clothes wringing wet with perspiration.

“I waited until nearly 12 o'clock and was about to give up and go back, when I saw a little woman coming down a footpath toward me. She was alone and carried no packages. In fact, she seemed just an ordinary woman taking a walk. She was bare-headed, wore long hair well done up, dressed in a purple dress with several different kinds of little flowers in it. She was very beautiful and seemed radiantly happy. She walked past me.

“Then suddenly she stopped and, turning to me she stretched forth her two hands, and right there before my eyes I saw the sweetest, most beautiful little baby precipitated fully clad in precious, most suitable baby clothes.

“As she handed it to me I felt a charge of electricity pass from her to me that felt something like it does if one accidentally sticks his finger in an electric light socket. She said, ‘Call her Barbara May. We will watch over her and she shall not want for anything.’ I looked down at the precious little baby in my arms and when I raised my eyes to thank the Lady Master from the Cosmic Spheres for her, she was gone and I saw her no more.

“Immediately a cab unlike any I had ever seen before appeared and took me to Richmond . . . The baby is of the development of a two-months-old child just as I had been told by the Master in the Park.

“Two bottles of milk were handed me in a paper bag along with the baby with instructions as to the feeding time.”

The “I Am” Spiritists De Luxe

◆ The Ballards, spiritists de luxe, not only operate their seances in public and on a huge and expensive scale, but they supply the evidence that they are not afraid to use a name which belongs only to the great Jehovah God himself. They invite their dupes to order the “Mighty I AM Presence” to give them any sums of money they require for use in their so-called “Service of the Light” and make no bones of flashing diamonds and other expensive jewels as evidence that their “Saint Germain” and “Ascended Masters” (the demons) will give them whatever they ask. The whole thing is demonism, pure and simple.

He Might as Well

◆ Reuters carried a dispatch from India that at the village of Garh, near Simla, a priest had turned somersaults night and day in front of his particular “deity”. He might as well. What he is doing at present is no more foolish than what he has been doing right along. And if his “deity” (one of the fallen angels—demons—devils) is pleased with that, he is not any more pleased than the big Devil himself is with the “eternal torture” and “purgatory” gyrations and mental somersaults of his Western imitators.

RIGHTEOUS RULER

THE NEW GOVERNMENT

Many Catholic Prelates Sued

Two bishops and a number of other Roman Catholic clergymen and two newspaper publishing corporations are included among many parties cited as defendants in suits recently filed in Colorado, Georgia and Ohio as a result of attempts to suppress the broadcasting of Bible truths by Jehovah’s witnesses. A cardinal also is included.

At Colorado Springs, in the District Court of El Paso County, the action is brought in the name of Joseph F. Rutherford against nine Roman Catholic pastors and others of Colorado Springs, including the chief of police, local Catholic societies, certain lay and religious persons, and the newspaper corporation that is part owner of broadcasting station KVOR. The complaint alleges that the defendants . . . did maliciously concert and conspire together to, and did falsely and maliciously compose, write or cause to be written, and caused and procured to be published . . . a certain false, scandalous, malicious and defamatory libel concerning Judge Rutherford. In Colorado Springs his speech "FACE THE FACTS" had been widely advertised to be broadcast September 11 over station KVOR, linked in a world-wide independent chain engaged to distribute the lecture as given by him that day in the Royal Albert Hall, London, England. The alleged defamatory statement, published just before the broadcast in the Colorado Springs Sunday Gazette and Telegraph, charges that "the broadcast of Judge Rutherford is an ignorant attack on Christianity", "an insult to the citizens of the community" and that the speaker "widens his scope by attacking the American flag and the ideals it stands for in the hearts of the people of this country". Claimed damages, $150,000.00.

Jehovah's Kingdom publishers' headquarters at Paris, France

In Georgia a suit is filed also in the name of Judge Rutherford. It is pending in the Superior Court of Effingham County against the head of the Roman Catholic diocese comprising the entire State. The bill of complaint alleges that the defendant, Gerald Patrick O'Hara, bishop of Savannah-Atlanta, did falsely and maliciously compose, write or cause to be written, and caused and procured to be published . . . a certain false, scandalous, malicious and defamatory libel concerning Judge Rutherford. This act of the bishop took the form of an attempt, by letter, to prevent Atlanta station WATL from participating in a coast-to-coast chain broadcast on October 2, presenting the second of a series of speeches by Judge Rutherford. WATL did broadcast the entire program, ignoring the bishop's letter, which asked the WATL manager to reject the broadcast because "this gentleman has been striving for years to destroy every form of religion", "opposes not only the Catholic Church" but lacks "charity and justice in his preaching" and "is a destroyer and a sower of discord" "by his vicious language". Damages in the sum of $100,000.00 are claimed of the eminent prelate, a former private secretary of Dennis Cardinal Dougherty, archbishop of Philadelphia. Fifty-nine other stations also broadcast the same speech by Judge Rutherford on "FASCISM OR FREEDOM" October 2.

Ohio's aged bishop of Columbus, James Joseph Hartley, a founder and honorary president of the Catholic Press Association, is included with his priest-editor and the corporation publishing his diocesan weekly newspaper to defend the damage suit for $100,000.00 brought against all of them by the Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society, a Pennsylvania corporation of which Judge Rutherford is president. Hartley, who is just a few days younger than the present pope, is expected to explain in court the actions of his subordinates.

dinates and himself in forcing breach of a ten-year contract between Columbus station WBNS and the Watch Tower Society. The bill of complaint shows that the several defendants

conspired and concerted together to interfere with and cause an unlawful breach of said contract and to deprive this plaintiff and its officers and public speakers by said broadcasts of their fundamental rights of free speech and publication of their legitimate Biblical teachings and to close their mouths in voicing opinions which the said defendants presumptuously declared to be objectionable to themselves and to their church.

Right after WBNS broadcast Judge Rutherford's London speech September 11 the diocesan newspaper of Columbus published a long front-page article and an editorial directing attention to that article and the action therein urged upon readers. Referring to Judge Rutherford, it described him as "the unspeakable 'Judge' Rutherford", "the unjudicial Judge," "the so-called 'Judge'," and labeled his broadcasting as "offensive stuff" and as an "insulting, false and evil broadcast". In the article readers were provided with a form of letter to send to Detroit station WJR and other Columbus stations as well as WBNS, "to put Rutherford and his kind forever off the air." The article urged:

BOYCOTT the companies who use the offending stations to advertise their wares; refuse to buy the goods of such companies. Here is a chance for you to enter upon a splendid piece of CATHOLIC ACTION. Victory is certain.

The paper's editorial chorused that Rutherford's "racket must now be brought to a stop. By prayer and good example, by instruction and effort, in season and out of season, every Catholic must labor to destroy the calamitous influence of the unspeakable 'Judge'." This suit against the Columbus bishop and his codefendants is pending in the Common Pleas Court of Franklin County, Ohio.

In another Ohio suit, previously announced, the Watch Tower Society claims $25,000.00 damages for an unlawful breach of a broadcasting contract with Akron station WADC. Three prominent Catholic priests and the grand knight of the local chapter of Knights of Columbus, together with the president of the district Holy Name Union, are included as defendants responsible for forcing WADC to interrupt the chain broadcast of Judge Rutherford's speech on October 2.

Dennis Cardinal Dougherty, archbishop of Philadelphia, his chancellor, J. Carroll McCormick (who is also Dougherty's nephew), and a local priest of the "Holy Ghost Fathers" are defendants in a $100,000.00 damage suit carried up to and now pending in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. This suit also is brought in the name of the Watch Tower Society as a result of a boycott launched by the defendants and other Catholics against Philadelphia station WIP, in connection with which the eminent cardinal himself went on record that he would "take further and more drastic action if the broadcasting of Judge Rutherford is permitted to continue".

Today's heroes—who will honor them?

Nazi Persecutions Attract Attention

Among the moving scenes described in the book Soldiers of the Marshes, by Langhoffs, we find the story of a Bible Student who in spite of harsh treatment and the most brutal torture persistently refused to say "Heil Hitler". The Bible Students, called also Jehovah's witnesses, decline to give the Hitler salute and to accept the Fuehrer as their savior.

This organization was formed in 1884 in the United States of America, where it has numerous adherents. Such is also the case in other countries, notably in Germany. The purpose of its members is, by meeting and studying together, to acquire a thorough knowledge of the truths contained in the Bible. The members of the Society circulate the Holy Scriptures, as well as tracts commenting on the same. They believe the last judgment to be very near, and practice with the greatest earnestness the Christian doctrine that they "must obey God rather than men".

According to the conclusions of a court at Bade, their studies are based solely on the Christian faith. The chief of police, Baron Von Nordenfycht, on September 14, 1932, also confirmed the fact that their only object in meeting together is to examine Biblical questions. Doctors Barth and Stachelin, two professors of theology at Basle, Switzerland, in a report dated February 2, 1937, considered Jehovah's witnesses as being interested in Biblical prophecies, and as, above all, being diligent to publish the message of the kingdom of God, and as taking no part whatever in politics. To say that they have the slightest connection with Communism is a false and baseless accusation, and must rest on a willful misunderstanding.

Before the rise of the Third Reich a Nazi schoolmaster named Schemm, who later became minister of public worship, and later still was killed in an airplane accident, threatened Jehovah's witnesses at Munich in these terms: "When we get into power we shall quickly finish with you." That is the only promise that the National Socialists have kept. They have indeed ferociously persecuted Jehovah's witnesses. Since 1933 over 6,000 members of this organization have been incarcerated in prisons, houses of correction, and concentration camps, where they steadfastly resist the Nazi terrorists, and openly declare themselves resolved to remain faithful to their belief.

Another work, bearing the title "Crusade Against Christianity", has been published in the German language by Franz Zürcher at Zurich, Switzerland. This account of the sufferings of persecuted men and women is free from all artifice, and is a tale plainly told. Yet so moving is it that it constitutes one of the most terrible accusations that can be brought against the demoniacal rulers of the Third Reich. These accusations would be even more eloquent if the author had forborne to mix them with polemics against the numerous and the powerful enemies of the Scriptures.

The German association of Jehovah's witnesses was dissolved in June, 1933. Its books and booklets were burned, its property confiscated, and its adherents thrown into prison and dragged off to concentration camps. Men who refused to give the Hitler salute have been discharged by their employers. In the case of one worker this took place after 33 years' service. The pensions of disabled soldiers have been discontinued, and they have been ironically advised to ask Jehovah for food to eat. Their tormentors have sought to compel Jehovah's witnesses to accept that Hitler is sent by God, and their underlings have shouted at their victims the words taken from one of the works of the German poet Heine, "Jehovah, be assured of my eternal scorn. Great Babylon's king am I." This second book, Crusade Against Christianity, shows that hundreds of victims have been charged and haled before the courts, and have then been condemned to varying terms of imprisonment, extending to sentences of five years, for:

(1) Having studied the Bible together.

(2) Having celebrated the memorial of Christ's death at a meeting of three people, consisting of a married couple and one of their friends.

(3) Having distributed tracts explaining the Scriptural prophecies.

(4) Having offered the Bible from house to house.

(5) Having read the Bible in a tram.

(6) Having visited friends professing the same faith.

(7) Having been present at a funeral (one year's imprisonment for this).

(8) Having sung songs to the praise of God.

(9) Having played such songs on a harmonium (the instrument was confiscated by the state).

One of the most atrocious things done is to deprive the Bible Students of their children, and to place these latter in a boarding school, or even in a house of correction for youthful criminals. This was done in accordance with one of Hitler's threats pronounced in April, 1933, and has been carried out according to "law".

Who will not be moved, even to tears, to learn of the case of the little boy who, after enduring the most horrible treatment in one of these institutions, threw himself on his mother, saying, "Mother, it is written in the Bible that God will not suffer us to be tried more than we can bear, and I can bear no more."—From the French Consolation.

(To be continued) Spain and Portugal

If Franco Had Known—

If Franco had known on July 17, 1936, what he knows today, would he have started the revolt against the Spanish Republic? We are inclined to doubt it. What was to have been a coup d'etat with German and Italian help has become one of the hardest fought civil wars in history and threatens—should the insurgents win—to undermine Spanish independence.

Primo de Rivera had found it easy enough to gag Parliamentary institutions under the monarchy and establish a dictatorship; Franco must have expected as easy a time with the Republic. The officers of the army and navy were with him; German and Italian help was forthcoming at once. Victory seemed certain, but the Spanish civil war has lasted almost half as long as the World War, and the Republic has not yet fallen.

The resistance of Spain's badly armed, ragged militia and the anti-Fascist volunteers that came to her aid from the world over will some day be universally recognized, whatever one's sympathies, for the heroic struggle that it is. The Republic has fought not only its own insurgents, but Germany and Italy; and it has fought them with one hand tied behind its back by the cruel farce of "non-intervention".

We wonder how many on Franco's side are not secretly regretful; the divisions between Right and Left in Spain were deep, but not too deep to be bridged without bloodshed. The arrogance of the German and Italian troops, bearing themselves as conquerors rather than as allies, has sown hatred among the insurgents. The defeat of the Italians at Guadalajara by Spanish troops and Italian anti-Fascists caused secret satisfaction among Franco's own men. Premier Negrin's Thirteen Point broadcast to the insurgents has aroused responsive echoes. May the coming year bring peace.--New York Post.

Uncle Sam's Betrayal of Spain

Here is a plain case where a brave people, struggling to maintain a new government of their own choosing—a government far more democratic than they had ever known before--seems about to be overwhelmed by reactionary traitors with the help of a couple of bandit nations as open allies. This generation has never witnessed anywhere in the world a struggle for democracy and the right to a decent destiny that so clearly and so richly deserved the deepest sympathy of the American people.

Consider that a short twenty years ago, on a great wave of outraged civic righteousness, we took up arms and crossed an ocean to do battle for "world democracy". Now, when every democracy and quasi-democracy in the world is being far more seriously threatened than they were then, our Government has covertly and underhandedly taken sides with the murderers of Spanish democracy, and we, the American people, are standing completely stultified before the world!

And how was that national disgrace, this stealthy betrayal of democracy, brought about? It was brought about by the machinations of that coterie of snobs infesting the State Department known as "career diplomats". These admirers of Franco represent American democracy no more than Al Capone and his gangsters represented American democracy.

And yet it is impossible not to see that the president has allowed the secretary of state to allow this little gang of underlings, who acknowledge no responsibility to the people, to exercise an authority that should be trusted to the hands of only the highest responsible officials. Is it possible that the secretary of state, unwilling to soil his own hands, was yet willing enough for the dirty job to be done by his underlings? This is one possible explanation of this dark affair.

While the immediate effect is perhaps more disgraceful than dangerous to our national safety, such aiding and abetting of Fascism is indisputably dangerous to the civilized world, including America.--Clay Fulks, in The American Guardian.

Garrote Not in Use in Portugal

◆ Consolation No. 495, September 7, 1938, issue, page 23, second column, paragraph entitled "Eighty Masons Garroted at Malaga". J. E. Azevedo, writing from Shanghai, China, makes the correction that capital punishment was abolished in Portugal some years ago; hence Portugal's good name should not be clouded by inclusion in the punition named.

Canada

Reward of Canadian Soldiery

Thousands of unemployable ex-soldiers are within a flea's hop of starvation in Canada. And thousands of employable returned men walk the streets—begging for an opportunity to earn an honest living. What a travesty of justice! What an indictment against the government that unhesitatingly pushed these men into the slaughter-pit (Great War), then left their poor victims, after the slaughter was over, to shift for themselves! What an indictment against the human vultures who control the avenues of employment in this country! What a terrible disillusionment for ex-soldiers who fondly dreamed in 1914-18 that the Great War would make them permanent heroes and secure lifelong special consideration and honor for them! Where are the great majority of ex-soldiers of the Great War today? Thousands are on relief; and thousands are used solely for the profits that can be extracted from their bodies.—Central Committee of the Soldiers'-People's Party.
