Catholics Fighting
Traditions of U. S„
Browder Charges
Europe Will Inevitably
Turn to Communists,
Party Leader Says
Sr the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—The hier
archy of the Catholic Church is
characterized by Earl Browder, sec
retary of the American Commun
ist party, as among “powerful forces
at work in our country to under
mine and destroy the great Ameri
can traditions to which our people
•we their greatness."
2r. a speech at a Communist rally
ta Hiadison Square Garden last
night Browder assailed the recent
encyclical of Pope Pius XII, assert
ing it contained a “direct attack
upon a fundamental American
principle, the separation of church
and state, which may have a dele
terious effect upon American public
life if it is followed up with prac
tical efforts and proposals. • *
Defends Communism.
"There are growing signs that the
Catholic Church hierarchy are not
content to influence the lives of
their own flock but have the ambi
tion to determine more and more
the laws and administration of the
6tates and the Nation in line with
their professed creeds.”
The Communist leader also told
his followers that Europe will “in
evitably turn to the Communists”
if the “imperialist war is carried on
to its logical conclusion.”
“We Communists clearly and bold
ly denounce the present war as an
imperialistic one, on both sides,
from which the peoples have noth
ing to obtain uut misery, starva
tion, oppression and death," he
said.
“We dema-’M the stopping of this
war. We warn that the peoples who
suffer from this war will not be pa
tient but will prepare to take the
decision into their own hands if
their present ‘statesmen’ do not
stop the war.
"The Communist International,
association of all the Communist
parties of the world, holds fast in
all its many national links to its
great tasks of struggle against the
imperialist war, for peace and So
cialism.”
Anniversary Marked.
The meeting was held both to
celebrate the 22d anniversary of
the founding of the Soviet Union
and to protest against the indict
ment of .Browder for obtaining and
using a passport through false rep
resentations.
This action of the Government
was denounced time and again, and
at the end a resolution was adopted
characterizing the prosecution as
based on “trumped up charges” and
pledging American Communists to
“do everything possible to prevent
Earl Browder from becoming the
first political prisoner of the second
Imperialist war.”
Browder criticized the “capitalist
press” in general, accusing it of hav
ing "hidden behind lies” the achieve
ments of the Soviet Union, which
he called the most powerful, pros
perous and peaceful land in the
world.”
Harvard Disregards Protests
Against Ban on Browder
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 14 (4>).
—Despite protests from a student
organization and from the Civil Lib
erties Committee of Massachusetts,
Harvard University persisted today
In its decision to refuse Earl Brow
der, U. S. Communist leader, permis
sion to speak in a university build
ing.
The Student John Reed Society,
which had arranged for the Browder
talk tomorrow night, imemdiately
called on students and faculty mem
bers to attend a mass meeting to
morrow night “to protest this de
cision of the corporation and to
atand by our rights.”
In a statement, school authorities
said they had notified the society,
which was named for a Harvard
graduate who became a Communist
hero, that it was “at liberty to have
another member of the Communist
party speak as soon as it desired,’
but that the president and fellows
had "voted to withhold permission”
for the Browder appearance “until
the basis of Harvard's practice in
granting free use of its buildings
for meetings shall have been further
explored.”

Spain Plans to Double
Merchant Ship Tonnage
By the Associated Press.
SEVILLE, Spain, Nov. 14.—A 10
year economic plan for Spain, which
proposes doubling the nation’s mer
chant shipping tonnage and recon
struction of thousands of buildings
was announced here last night by
Joaquin Benjumea, minister of agri
culture and labor.
The minister told a gathering of
Seville businessmen the goal in mer
chant shipping tonnage was 1,000 -
000 tons.
The plan will be divided into sev
eral phases, the minister declared.
It will include creation of new in
dustries; reconstruction of buildings
at a cost of 2.500.000,000 pesetas
• $275,000,000), and the manufacture
of textiles, cellulose and engines for
airplanes, trains and automobiles.
Dr. Walsh Suggests
Soviet Had Hand
In Athenia Sinking
G. U. Official Also
Suspects Part in Plot
To Kill Hitler
By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, Nov. 14.—The sugges
tion that Russia might have been
involved in the sinking of the
Athenia and the recent attempt to
assassinate Hitler has been ad
vanced by the Rev. Dr. Edmund A.
Walsh, S. J., regent of Georgetown
University’s Foreign Service School.
He noted, In an address last night
before the Foreign Commerce Club
of Boston, that the ftnited States
Government still is investigating the
sinking of the British ship, with its
loss of American lives, and that it
has not accused Germany of firing
the torpedo.
"The conviction was voiced in
Washington that the sinking of the
Athenia was due neither to an
English nor a German submarine,
but to a Russian craft,” Dr. Walsh
said. “That horror could have
brought no profit to Germany, rather
a universal revulsion and the loss
of the little support she still retains
among neutrals. It is unthinkable
that England should have deliberate
ly massacred her own nationals as
well as Americans.”
Asserting that Soviet Russia never
has abandoned its “dreams of world
revolution,” Dr. Walsh said that na
tion could have profited if the
Athenia incident caused the United
States to become entangled.
The bombing attempt on Hitler's
life, he continued, ‘‘argues the pres
ence of some secret organization
• • • paving the way for schism and
confusion best adapted to Moscow's
program.”
He predicted that if Germany
were defeated, Russian troops would
march in to “rescue” the working
class “the same as they did in Po
land,” and that Communism then
would confront England and Prance.
"Is that why Chamberlain hesi
tates to unloose an attack on Ger
many?” the priest was asked.
Dr. Walsh attacked Earl Browder,
American Communist party leader,
as “Stalin’s agent in the United
States” and as "a professional or
ganizer of a conspiracy to overthrow
the constitutional Government of
this country."
