This was the counsel given by Rev. Dr. John K. Cartwright, assistant pas- tor of St. Patrick's Church, to repre- sentatives of the 15 American republics who attended the annual Thanksgiving day pan-American mass this morning Father Cartwright made it plain thal in advocating governmental of religion he was not s ng about an established church, or “in any sense, & serted, not if it 1 privileges to the ministers of a religion or f# it discriminates between. , but “Iif in its laws and institutions it takes rev- erant notice of Christian morals and ideals, if its magistrates enter upon of- fice with an oath which calls u | the sanctions of the one true God, if its legislative bodies act in the name of God and invoke His blessings on their deliberations.” Practice Is U. S. Tradition. Father Cartwright declared that this | sort of public recognition of God was the practice of the United States Gov- ernment from its inception, and that each of the governments represented by his auditors had followed similarly the Christian tradition of public worship. He told the pan-Americans that for many years they had joined with the United States in making Thanksgiving day an international one, “a day of universal American homage to the God ‘who made us all.’ Commenting upon the place religion holds in civil government, Father Cart- wright declared that today the Com- munist seeks success by replacing a tra- ditional religion with “a superstition half trivial and half base,” but that in time he must “come to realize what history so insistently teaches and give to the people their ancient worship, not an opiate, as he asserts, but their con- solation, their dream, their bond of unity.” Continuing, the priest said: “You cannot bind a people by mere interests, for interests are opposing, contradictory. You cannot unite them by education, for the aims of merely natural education are ambiguous. You cannot get them to perform the duties of the citizen: to pay taxes, to obey laws, to give themselves to your armies —in'a word, to make sacrifices—unless petition for divine aid in the wluunn' |as well as to devotion to the tenets of | ¥HE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, RELIGIOUS EXAMPLE| [emestperia pamn arrevws aavnce | LAY MESSAGE i | 1 i President and Mrs. Hoover and their son Allan as they arrived this morning at the Thanksgiving service at Metropolitan M.

By the Associated Press. ‘The multitudinous families which*| enjoy Thanksgiving turkeys today are observing a custom that prevailed ages before the Pilgrims first gathered round their festive board. Smithsonian Institution records, bridg- ing the thousands of years that veil the aboriginal civilizations, show that the Indians of the Southwest domesticated turkeys and fattened them for their ceremonial feasts. ou can bring them to see a reason for ghe sll:fl!\c!lg and a reward for their toil. o “And the reason and reward will be, not in wealth, for they can never share at part of it; not in high culture, fi they can never rise to it; not in mere patriotism, for- patriotism in it- self is but the begging of the question; not in political liberty, while millions of them are economic slaves. The rea- son and reward will be, not in these things, but in their sense that they have satisfied their longing for the ideal and that they hold on their consciences the sanction of an approving God. i Urges Solidarity. Father Cartwright added that before peoples can. trust in God they must be- lieve in' Him ‘and’ that in order to at- tain the consistency and strength of that belief they must have “solidarity with one another.” “This union of beliefs” he asserted, “can come only when society in its highest functions—that is, the state, and in its representatives—that is the cit racy—lends its mt!ll'xzné:heé 1'&33- e, its encouragenten - :gn of fundamental and en- convictions.” m’?‘]h’g.pln—mnun mass this morning was presided over by the Most Rev.

The p! ice of such feasts, however, had been established long before by the cliff dwellers, Who got their birds fiom & pen !l#fi_ehld of a thicket. s e turkey of the aborigine more nearly approximated the modern Thanksgiving fowl than the scrawny wild birds felled centuries later by the blunderbuss of the Pilgrim. Most of the domesticated varieties, especially ‘the bronze,” descended from the Mexi- can wild turkey that ranged over Ari- zona, Western New Mexico and Southern Colorado, virtually the dooryard of earliest American civilization. Bird Is Exclusively American. ‘The Pilgrim’s turkey was the wild United States from Maine to Florida. Like the two other wild varieties, that found in Southern Florida and the bird common to Southern Texas and North- western Mexico, the New England turkey originated from the Mexican strain tamed in the dawn of man’s ascendancy on the North American Continent.’ ‘Today, as when that first faint trace of human kind began fashioning clay vessels in which to prepare its feasts, the turkey is exclusively American. No fowl of any foreign country approxi- mates it, and wherever turkeys are pro- duced today the ancestral stock came from America. It is the one variety of meat this country does not import.

At the Elizabeth Somers residence, 2 1 o'clock dinner was served to the resident girls and a party is to follow from 5 to 6 o'clock. Other scenes in contrast to these pleasures were being witnessed today in the humbler walks of life and among the hapless inmates of the District’s penal institutions. Except for an extra good dinner, Thanksgiving day was just another Thursday for the latter. The several thousand prisoners at the Dis- trict Jail, the workhouse at Occoquan and the Lorton Reformatory, however, made the best of a generous Thanks- giving feast, with fresh roast pork, fat- tened at Lorton, as a substitute for ‘Turkey.

Only when the Nation is affected by an extensive misfortune or calamity “do we realize how intimately and vitally our lives are bound together,” Bishop James E. Freeman declared today in a Thanksgiving day message at the Wash- ington Cathedral. Bishop Freeman spoke at services at 11 o'clock in Bethlehem Chapel, and his message was broadcast through WMAL. A special musical program also was rendered. Speaking from the texts “Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat?” and “Man shall not live by bread alone,” the speaker declared that “Thanksgiv- ing day is designed to turn our thoughts away from our common everyday pur- its, our personal concerns and inter- est, and to afford us a fresh opportunity for considering the extent of God’s gifts to us, individually and as & ple. It is the Nation's family day. any other day in the calendar it em: phasizes not only our common depend- ence upon God, but our interdependence one upon another.” Purpose of Holiday. “To be selfishly intent upon our own place of advantage” warned Bishop our individual prosperity is to misin- terpret the real meaning and purpose of this day. It is unfortunate that there are so few days in the calendar thn:t emphasize ou‘l'-’.n on:nessd‘md'sou- darity. If Tha g day did nothing more than nm us of the dangers of cleavages and provincial ways of think- ing and living it would have a distinct and sufficient valye.” ‘The bishop asserted the bread prob- lem is the basic task of life. “Let any- thing affect our source of supply, let crops be impaired or the farmers of the Nation fail in their duty,” he added, nd we are confronted with a situ- ation that is grave and perilous, indeed. ‘We can survive the depression of stock values or the suspension of those things that we call our luxuries; we cannot survive the curtailment of our food supplies. “A situation arose in the ministry of Christ where a great multitude had come to Him in a remote place w0 hear His message. They had been drawn frresistibly to Him and were wholly unmindful of their physical needs. In this situation His disciples came to Him, reminding Him of the urgency of the situation, the poverty of their supplies, declaring that they had but a few loaves of bread and but a few small fishes. Conscious of Needs. . “The problem presented was seem- ingly an insuperable one, but, undis- couraged and unembarrassed, the Mas- ter readily met it. ‘He took the loaves and, when He had given thanks, Re distributed to the people.’ He was ever conscious of man's physical needs. His ministry to men was a full and com- prehensive one. rting to the financial situation, Bishop Freeman asserted “a whole na- tion loses its poise because a period of unrest, uncertainty and panic seizes the stock market, and irrespective of recognized values and a stable indus- trial situation, a condition is precipi- tated bordering on hysteria. Tracing all these to their legitimate sources, we discover the same old arnxiety as ex- pressed in the query of a confused disciple, ‘Whenee. shall be buy bread that these may eat’? The form of ex- pression changes, the motive largely o “Tha vi y & us an opportunity for appraising’ the worth of our -own individual assets and for a fresh examination of those things, the value of which bears witness to our stability as a nation.

McDowell, addressing a_joint luncheon meeting of tary and Kiwanis Clubs at the Wil- lard Hotel. “This holiday in particular,” Bishop | McDowell said, “is apt to reveal what manner of men we are, whether the dominant role of our life is selfish or unselfish. Many will be ungrateful and surly on Thanksgiving. They will justi- 1y their attitude by their material suc- cess or fallure during the past ye: “The trouble with such people is in counting their blessings they left out the most important ones. Every one of us has had opportunity to hestow favors on the less favored. The service we ourselves render is our best basis for returning thanks. “If people have been good to us, let us be thankful. If we have been good to people, let our gratitude overflow be- cause we have had opportunity to lift and help!” Arthur May, president of Rotarians, and Edgar Morris, president of the Ki- wanis Club, presided.

Cleanliness NEWSPRINT PARLEY HELD ADVISABLE Committeeman Asks Discus- sion by Publishers and Manu- facturers to Clear Situation. ~ By the Associated Press. HAMILTON, Ontario, November 28.— F. L Ker, general manager of the Ham- ilton Spectator and member of the newsprint committees of the Canadian Daily Newspaper Association and the American Newspaper Publishers’ As- sociation, yesterday advocated discus- sion of the newsprint situation either before a royal commission or at a con- ference of the publishers and manufac- rers. ‘The gravity of the situation from the all-Canadidn point of view, said, demanded that the question be removed from the “befogged atmosphere of‘the provincial lobbies.” His statement was in reply to one made by Premier L. A. Taschereau of Quebec to the effect that if newspaper publishers had their way in reducing the price of newsprint to a minimum the small producers would all be driven to_the wall. Mr. Ker said the publishers were willing to pay a fair pi provided the price is uniform and non-discriminatory. He attributed the present situation to over-expansion in the newsprint in- dustry and said the publishers de- preciated any price-cutting war that was likely to jeopardize the stability of the industry. “Mr. Tascherau,” he said, “has once again reiterated his paradoxial state- ment that the premiers have no in- tention of resorting to drastic legisla- tion, but if any agreement as to the price of paper -is not reached the provinces must inevitably find a means of setting the fair and equitable re- turns they need.” “This means nothing more than a flourishing of the big stick over the heads of both manufacturers.and pub- lishers,” Mr. Ker added.
