Withjoy,theCatholicworldhas heardthattheVaticanmaysoondecidethatthehourhascomewhenthe remainsofPopeLeoXIII.maybe, withsafety,removedfromitstemporaryresting-placeinSt.Peter's,to thetombinSt.JohnLaterans,which inhislastdaysthegreatPontiffchose forhisplaceofburial.Fornearly twentyyearsthistombhasbeenwaitingforitsoccupant.But,tothe shameofSocialismandFreemasonry, andtothescandaloftheChristian world,Catholic,OrthodoxandProtestant,untilnowitcertainlywasnot safetoriskconveyingthroughthe streetsofRomethebodyoftheLion whoruledChristendomforaquarter ofacenturyfromtheVaticanHill. WiththeguaranteesgivenbySignor Mussolini,PrimeMinisterofItaly,it seemsthefuneralcortegemayproceed, beforelong,fromSt.Peter'stoSt. JohnLateran's,thePope'sowncathedralinhiscapacityofBishopofRome. LeoXII.lovedhiscathedralwitha deeplove,andheexpendedvastsums throughouthislongpontificateon adorningthis,''theMotherandHead ofallthechurchesinRomeandthe world."

ToThrowtheBodyIntotheTiber Whatasceneofshameandhorror markedthetransferofthebodyof PopePiusIX.,fromSt.Peter'stoSan Lorenzo's,atmidnightonJuly12, 1881! Thegentlestofmen,whoat hislasthourcommandedthathewas tobeburied,notinthemagnificent tombpreparedforhimintheBasilica atSt.MaryMajor's,but"outamong thepoorinSanLorenzo's,"besidethe publiccemetery,wassubjectedtothe deepestofinsults.PiusIX.hadbeen drivenfromRomeattheResolution of1848;hehadsufferedmorethan anyotherPontiffsincethedaysof paganRome,butasifProvidence wishedtomarkhimoutforspecial favour,hereignedlongerthanany otherPopesincethedaysofSt.Peter himself.LetFatherChandlery,S.)., tellofthelastscene:"Atmidnight,July12(13),1881,the mortalremainsofPiusIX.weretransferredwithoutpomporceremony,in asimplehearse,followedbythree mourningcoaches,toS.Lorenzo,outsidethewalls.ThePrefectofthe cityhadrecommendedthatthefun. eralshouldbeheldatmidnight,and itwasunderstoodthatheandthepolicewouldbetheretopreventanydisorderonthepartoftheenemiesofthe Papacy.Alongsidethehearseandbehindthecoachesfollowedseveralthou sandpersonsonfoot,withlightedcandles,recitingtheRosaryandother prayers.

OnreachingthePonteS.Angelo (overtheTiber),thefuneralcortege wassuddenlyattackedbythreeor fourhundredruffians,Freemasons, Garibaldians,andotherapostates, withtheavowedobjectofseizingthe body,andcastingitintotheTiber. TheCathoiicyoungmen,whowere followingintheprocession,quickly closedaroundthehearse,resolvedto defenditatthecostoftheirlives.A sharpstruggleensued,andmanywere severelywounded,buttheCatholics socceededinbeatingofftheirsavage assailants,andtheprocessionmoved onitscourse.ThewholeCatholic worldwasshockedatthenewsofthis sacrilegiousoutrage,andeversince thattimeithasbeenconsideredunsafe fortheHolyFathertosetfootoutside theVatican."

SocialistsinGovernment

TheBritishLabourGovernmenthas enjoyedsixmonthsofoffice.Ithas provedtriumphantlythatamongthe trade-unionofficials,working-class journalists,middle-classintellectuals, andconvertedLiberalswholeadthe LabourParty,thereisasmuchgoverningcapacityasamongthelawyers, aristocratsandbusinessmenwhohave occupiedtheFrontBencheswhenthe olderparties,ConservativesandLiberal,tooktheirturnofpower.But nothingelsehasbeenprovedbythis experimentinLabourGovernment. Therehasbeennoefforttolegislate ortoadminsteronradicalprinciples. ThisGovernmenthasbeen,onthe whole,rathermoreconservativethan anywhichhasheldofficeinEngland between1906and1922.

WhenMr.AsquithwasPremierthe vetooftheHouseofLordswasabolished,andthetaxationoflandvalues introduced.InMr.LloydGeorge's termofofficetheIrishFreeStatewas established.Therehasbeennothing comparabletotheseinnovationsunder Mr.MacDonald.

NoonewhowasintheleastconservantwithBritishconditionswould havefearedanythingwildorviolent fromaLabourGovernment,butthere mighthavebeenexpected"advanced" policiesoifananti-Imperialist,antimilitaristandanti-capitalistnature. Onlytwothingshavebeendoneto seriouslychallengeconservatism.One wastheabandonmentoftheproject ofanavalbaseatSingapore;the otherwastherecognitionoftheSoviet. Itmayprove,however,thattheSingaporeprojecthasnotbeensacrificed onthealtarofpacificism,buthas merelybeenpostponedforfinancial reasons.TheGovernmentshowedso littleregardforpacificismthatitdecidedonthebuildingoffivenewbattle cruisersdespitetheunitedopposition oftheLiberalsandalargesectionof itsownparty.Ithasrejectedthe disarmamentproposalsoftheLeague ofNationsDraftTreatyofMutualAs sistance.Ithasorganisedanew ArmyReserveof20,000men.Forall thisitcanpleadverygoodreasons, buttheyarenotthereasonsthatcommendedthemselvestoLabourleaders whentheywereinopposition. ThegesturetoMoscowwasadventurous,butitwasdiplomaticallyambigious,andithasendedinnothing butanagreementtodisagreeuntilan agreementcanbemade.Withregard toimperialism,Mr.MacDonaldwarnedthenationalistsinIndiathatBritainwilluseforceifneedhetouphold herrule;hehasreiteratedBritishdeterminationtoholdontotheSudan; whilstinIraknativeshavebeenbombedfromaeroplanesattheordersofthe LabourGovernment.TheGovernmentcanofferanexcellentdefenceof itsconductinalltheseinstancesby basingitselfonprincipleswhichConservativesandtheLiberalsacknowledge.ItwouldbemoreembarrassingiftheappealweremadetothedoctrinesthatpresentCabinetMinisters taughtbeforetheyassumedtheresponsibilitiesofoffice.

Ineconomicandfinancialpolicyalso theGovernmenthaskepttotraditionalpaths.Itproducedagenuinely LabourBudgetinasmuchasitdrasticallyreducedtaxesonnecessitiesof life,andaHousingActhasbeenpassedwhichlargelyincreasestheGovernmentsubsidyforthebuildingofwork ing-classdwellings.Buttherehas beennothinginthenatureofsocialisation.Onthecontrary,greatGovernmentfactories,leftoverfromthe warperiod,havebeenputupforauctionandsoldtothehighestcapitalist bidder.TheCapitalLevyhasbeen gladlyshelved.Mr.PhilipSnowden, ChancelloroftheExchequer,attended abanquetofbankersandassuredthem thatthemaintenance'ofthenation's financialcreditwouldeverhehisfirst care.Mr.RamsayMacDonald,inhis firstspeechtotheHouseofCommons asPrimeMinister,declaredthatSocialismmeanttheencouragementof capital!Certainlytherehasbeen InothingintheactionsoftheGovern'mentuptodate,andnothingevenin thewordsofitschiefmembers,to causecapitaliststheslightestuneasi nessabouttheirinvestments.

Formanyyearspast,longbeforehe becamePrimeMinister,Mr.MacDonaldconsistentlyexplainedSocialism inasensewhichmadeitinnocuous, nottosaymeaningless.Speakinglast EasterattheAnnualConferenceofthe IndependentLabourParty,thechief SocialistorganisationinEngland,he wentfurtherandshowedadesireto getridofthenameSocialistitself. Afterotherspeakershadbeendepre-

ciatingmereLabourismanddeclaring that"Socialismistheonlyremedy," Mr.MacDonaldsaid: "IhavenoobjectiontotheGovernmentbeingcalledaSocialistGovernment,orthepartybeingcalledaSocialistparty;butsentimentally,Idon't likeit,becausethereisasomewhat bookishassociationaboutSocialism.

InthatwayweproveourselvesfarbetterSocialistsinspirit thanthosewhothinkweoughtto takeoursupportersfromanarrow view."

Itisnotunfairtoassum?.thatMr. MacDonaldrealisesthathisownpersonal"Socialism"ismerelymoderate andconstitutionalsocialreform,and itisapitythatsympathisersshould berepelledfromhispartybyaword whichhassinisterassociations.He probablyseesthattheLabourMovement,ifitisnottobestultified,must soonerorlatershakeitselffreefrom shibbolethsanddogmaswhichdonot correspondtoitsactualaimsandmethods. TherealquestioniswhethermoderateleaderslikeMr.MacDonaldcan continuetomaintainamoderatepolicy.AtpresentheheadsaMinority Government,forwhich,onemaysurmise,heistrulythankful.Heisthus abletotellhisextremistfollowerswho clamourforradicalmeasuresthatitis uselesstoattempttopassthem throughaHouseofCommonswhere Labourisinaminority.Butwhen LabourhasamajorityintheHouse, whatthen?LeaderslikeMr.MacDonaldknowthattherealobstacleto SocialistschemesisnotLiberaland ConservativevotesintheHouseof Commons,butsocialandeconomic factsintheworldoutside.TheLabourrankandfiledonotrecognisethese facts.Socialistpropagandadenies them.Socialisticpropagandasystematicallyexcitesclasspassions,and teachesthewdrkingpoortobelieve thatonlyaparasitic,wasteful,capitalistclassstandsbetweenthemand theirdesiresofafullerlifeofeaseand entoyment.Whenthemassesare thusindoctrinatedhowcantheybe expectedtorefrainfromextrememeasureswhentheycommandthelegislature?Themineworkersexpectsocialisationoftheminestobeoneof thefirstgreatschemesofaLabour Governmentwhichhasamajorityin theHouseofCommons.Iftheprivateownersoftheminesaretobe equitablycompensatedthepricetobe paidwillbestaggering.Thefinancial problemsofcompensationmaywell proveinsoluble,andtheremustthen beatremendoustemptationtoresort tovirtualconfiscation.

"Thereisnoanswer,Bertha.Waita minute!Givetheboythis."
