' 10,000 LABORING MEN HEAR POPE'S ADDRESS Vatican City, May 15.—()—Speak-' ing in Italian, French and German, Pope Pius XI Friday addressed 10,000 workmen in the courtyard cf San Damaso, exhorting them to industrial concord and union. The address was broadcast throughout the world through the new Vatican City radio station. He referred to a resume issued Fri- day of his forthcoming encyclical on labor in which he said it was neces- sary to reconstruct the worlds eco- nomic system to ensure justice to the worker, condemned socialism and communism and the concentration of too great wealth in a few hands. Three words, he said, constituted his theme. They were prayer, action, and sacrifice. These three are necessary, he said, before any initiative of good, individ- ual or collective, can bear fruit The pontiff declared that noble spirits of other times gave an excel- lent program in difficult times, and that the present gathering of work- men was worth to inherit it from them. This was the pope's first important radio speech in the venacular. His address on the occasion of the inaug- uration of the Vatican City station last February was delivered in Latin, The pope exalted work saying that the happy habit of work multiplied the power for work and the noble and holy satisfaction accompanying work made it more desirable. The pontiff said the spirit of sacri- fice was needed also and especially discipline embodying submission to legitimate authority. He repeated the thought expressed in his first radio broadcast when he urged cooperation between classes. He advised the workers and the givers of work to practice charity and exer- cise fraternal spirit one toward the other, Geneva, May 15.—()—Economic | depression is the most serious threat | to Zuropean accord, Aristide Briand, French foreign minister, declared Fri- day at the opening session of the commission to study his project for @ Pan-European Federation, The crisis is especially serious in the agricultural countries of south- eastern Europe, he said, and to those countries the commission will try to give prompt relief both by preferen- tial rates on cereals and by long- term agricultural credits. The commission will discuss the “urgently important” Austro-German proposals for a customs union, he said, when the matter is presented by Julius Curtius, Germany's foreign minister. Briand came to Geneva Friday for what may be his last great efforts in behalf of a Pan-Europe, with, it was understood, a plan by which France is to help the nations of Europe past the economic slump. The foreign minister, whose policies many regard as discredited ac home in his defeat for the French presi- dency Wednesday, was expected to present each national delegation of the commission studying European federation here a copy of plans for & new project to secure their ccopera- tion for common economic better- ment.

On the initiative of the bank of France a number of French banks would be grouped to study conditions under which they will participate in investment oper- ations abroad. Austria is given special attention in the new Briand project, which asks that European states which are cus- tomers of Austria give her special facilities to increase her outlets abroad. Austria's commercial bal- ance deficit is nearly 3,500,000,000 francs ($140,000,000). Friday's meeting, attended by 19 foreign ministers, is in a sense a pre- lude to next week's meeting of the council of the League of Nations, which M.

Pontiff Encyclical Touches Economics) (Continued from page one) time to wield little by 1ittie to a new social policy more favorable to jus-| tice. Favors Lal Pope Leo's encyclical, the letter} says, “also is resolute in asserting the right possessed even by working men tc form associations for mutual aid} and for the legitimate defense of their common interests.” In the second part Pope Pius dis- cusses the changes which have taken place since Pope Leo wrote. He vindicates the solemn duty of| the church and the pope to intervene in social problems when they fall un- der the moral and evangelical law. He reaffirms the Catholic doctrines concerning the rights of private prop- erty. In this section also the pontiff wrote: “It is absolutely necessary to re- construct the whole economic system by bringing it back to the require- ments of social justice so as to ensure more equitable distribution of the united proceeds of capital and labor.” ‘This is necessary, he wrote, because there is “an excessive and unjust dis- proportion of the commodities of life between capital and labor. Immense riches have accumulated in the hands of a few, while the proletarians have nothing by their hands and the sweat of their brows.” ‘The reconstruction he proposes, the pope concludes, will be achieved by the uplift of the proletariat which Pope Leo XIII so ardently desired. Toward this end, the pontiff writes, ‘wages must be such as really to sat- isfy the legitimate requirements of the honest worker and his family. He pleads for cooperation between the clasges and the trade groups. Cites Economic Abuses The third part of the encyclical deals generally with the economic system, asserting that although it is not an evil in itself, it is seriously warped by grave abuses. ‘The pope condemns concentration of wealth, which he declares restilts in tyranny and depotism, and asserts that the only efficacious remedy is a return to the sane principles of Christian and social philosophy. The pontiff inveighs against com- munism and socialism declaring that even though socialism approaches the Catholic doctrine, “it is not possible to be at once @ good Catholic and a ‘true socialist.” closes in a note of re- many of the \ Organization | \ with the spirit of are laboring in the|at the annual meeting. crop begins to move.

Played 200 Parts On the stage first as a child, Be- lasco had plaiyed 200 parts while still |a young man. At his death he had produced some 400 plays, of which he had written 150. Among his outstanding successes were: “A Grand Army Man,” “The “Marie Odile,” “The Music Master ‘The Heart of We- tonah,” “Tiger Rose,” “Tiger, Tiger,” “Deburau,” “The Gold Diggers,” “Kiki,” “Lulu Belle.” He starred among others Frances Starr, Mary Pickford (he changed her name from Gladys Smith), Ina Claire, Lenore Ulrich, Fay Bainter and David Warfield. Beside his daughter, Mr. Belasco Easiest Way, Belasco was sensitive about his age— he never paid attention to it—but was rather proud of his ability to continue at the pace he followed in his work tor one of his years. On each recurring anniversary of his birth, he would jocularly an- rounce upon entering his office: “To- day I am 21, an indication of how old he felt. A few weeks before that anniversary in 1929, some old friends and said he would be 75 on July 25 of that year: The early ancestors of Mr. Belasco were forced to flee to England before the Moors. His father was among those who later went to Vancouver, B. C., where he accumulated some wealth and was elected mayor. Later, when he met with reverses, he moved his family to San Francisco about the time of the California gold rush and that city became the birthplace of David. The latter was educated at Lincoln college, California, and about the time he was graduated married Cecilia Loverish. Mrs. Belasco died several years ago.

Devoted To Theatre No life has been more truly devoted to the advancement of the American theatre than that of David Belasco. His inherent love for his work and his infinite capacity for painstaking in every detail made him one of the most successful men in the theatrical world. To achieve that distinction, how- ever, was not an easy task and in- volved on the part of Mr. Belasco ac- itive participation in every phase of | work connected with the stage. So aevoted was he to the theatre that not once during his long career did ‘he ever consider retiring. | ‘That subject brought a vigorous cutburst from him when it was men- itioned on the occasion of his 75th | birthday anniversary. | “1 shall retire when I am carried | feet first out of the theatre,” he said. “I expect to be working hard and producing plays when those who say 1 should retire have passed away.
