MITCHELL TO TALK - ON JUSTICE WORK ‘Attorney General Will Outline Department’s Problems in Radio Forum. The problems which have confronted | the Department of Justice during the ! last two years and how they have been met will be discussed by Attorney Gen- | eral William D. Mitchell in the National network of the Columbia Broadcasting System at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow. Since Attorney General Mitchell be- came the head of the Department of | Justice, the duty of detecting violations of the national prohibition laws has ‘been turned over to that department. The Federal Government, through the Department of Justice, has been called upon to help clean up gangs in many of the big cities of the country. There have been problems of prison reorgani- zation and development, of speeding up the administration of justice in both criminal and civil cases and of the en- forcement and possible amendment of the anti-trust laws. It is expected that the Attorney Gen- eral in his address in the National Radio Forum will deal with these m: ters and give an accounting of the work done by the department. Furthermore, he may be expected to give his viws of proposals for changes in the system of the enforcement of the Federal laws, if any are deemed necessary. More and more work has been imposed upon the Department of Justice and the Federal courts by Congress in recent years by the passage of laws dealing not only with prohibition and narcotics, but also with the regulation of various bus- inesses and the imposition of the in- . _‘The Departm ent of Jus- MT.

Organizing the Mount Vernon Ladies’ iation, she enlisted the sup- port of prominent men and women in all parts of the country and, overcoming many discouraging obstacles, finally succeeded in raising the $200,000 needed to complete the transaction, in 1859. Believing that the thousands of vis- ftors to Mount Vernon would like to share in the privilege of maintaining the shrine for posterity, the association charges an admission fee of 25 oents (children under 10 and special school groups excepted)), the funds being used to defray: the expenses of restor- and maintaining the property. nder the charter granted the asso- ciation by Virginia, the property will revert to the State “if for any cause the association should cease to exist.” But the worthy women of Mount Vernon have no intention to give up the good work.

Three Main Ideas. “The encyclical undertakes to develop three leading ideas, In the first place the Holy Father enumerates the fore- most among the many priceless benefits which have resulted from Rerum No- " Thesel are, 1 1 V. are, for example, the giving’ of & solid foundation and an efeacious impuise to the development of so- clology and economics according to Catholie principles; the promoting of an ever more thorough and profound formation of workl; en in religious, moral and social sub , thus render- them more conscious of their dig- nity as men and as Christians, fitting them to protect the moral and eco- nomic interests of their class with knowledge and prudence, and to be. come in this movement the lerders of their fellows, thus compel the po- litically supreme liberalism of the time to yield little by little to a new soctal policy more favorable to justice, the resolute and firm assertion of the right possessed even by workingmen to form associations for mutual aid and legiti- mate defense of their common inter- ests, a Tight which liberalism wa. en- deavoring to impede by unjust abuse of power. “In actual fact numerous associations, either of laboring men by themselves or of tradesmen, farmers or similar workers, grew up on all sides. These associations, by putting into practice {in so far as circumstances permitted | the principles laid down by Leo XIII nd confirmed by his successors, have merited well and still merit well of | civilization and true social prosperity. Held Social Magna Charter. “With good reason, therefore, the encyclical by affirming that the experi- d|ence of the past 40 years forces the conclusion that Rerum Novarum is the Mt Charta of all Catholic activity in the social sphere. “In the second part his holiress goes on to examine the points which lend themselves most to discussion or about which, in view of the changed conditions of modern times, he deems it particularly necessary to speak in clear and authoritative la: e. “Pirst the encyclical vindicates once XIII had done, the full right and cven the solemn duty of the church and of its head to intervene in social problems, not, indeed, in technical matters nor for 1 ends, but in so far as these mlhflll under the moral and evange w. | “It then reafirms the Catholic doc- | and its double the right of s individual and social, indi s, | "8 ‘ cauital and labor, the two elements of | the actual economic regime, the holy father repeats that neither has the right to demand for itself alone all the profits of their mutusl collaboration. He re- calls the clear words of Leo XIII, ‘Capi- tal eannot do without labor nor labor without capital.’ Unjust Dispreportion Cited. e 3 -nfla!he commodities of life capital and labor, for on the riches are have nothing of their own save their hands and the sweat of their brow. “It is therefore absolutely necessary to reconstruct the whole economic system by brin it back to the requirements of social justice so as to insure a more equitable distribution of the united pro- ceeds of capital and labor. “Thus be achieved that uplifting of the proletariat which Leo XIII s0 ardently desired. ““The differences in social conditions in the human family, which were wide- ly decreed by the Creator, must not and cannot ever be abolished, but on the other hand the condition of the prole- tarian worker cannot forever be the normal condition of tke bulk of man- kind. It is essential that the proletariat be enabled gradually to obtain some of the advantages enjoyed by proprietors. “In the present order this can be accomplished only by a fair and just wage. Wages, therefore, must be such as really to satisfy the legitimate re- quirements of an honest working man, not only for his person, but also for his family, and to make it possible for him to improve his condition within the limits above described.

Dr. Leiva today dispatched the fol- lowing letter to Secretary Stimson, written while he was under treatment at Emergency Hospital: “Mr. Secretary, I have had the honor to receive your excellency’s kind note, in which you are good enough to show your sympathy in connection with the attack in which I was the victim on the 13th ‘of this month, and express your desire that those guilty of the criminal act—breaking into the legation and at- tacking the undersigned with a weap: on—may soon be caught and brought to justice. “Permit me, Excellency, to express to you my deep gratitude for the note to which I am replying, and the kind courtesy towards myself which inspired it.
