Enslaved in the factory, drugged in the church, robbed by boss and priest ajike, the worker is at last permitted to retire to a shabby and gloom- ridden home owned by one or the other of his exploiters. The biggest industry in Hudson County is the Catholic church, and no priest finds it necessary to fight for unemployment insurance. There is no appreciable difference between the Pope's control of Vatican City and the Catholic church's contro] of north Jersey. If the Pope is entitled to coin his own money, the Catholic hierarchy is permitted to use the Jersey City treasury as its own; if the Pope has his own army, the Jer- sey church has the municipal police forces; if the Pope has his own diplo- matic service, the Jersey church has its municipal and state officals, all who earns his living by selling the Daily Worker.
