THE EVENING WASHINGTON, D. G, MUBSDANG DECEMBER 29, 1931. SOVET TREATHENT OF CATHOLES HT Dr. Walsh Scores Attacks on Christian Church at Minneapolis. By/the Associate MINNEAPOLIS, December 20.—Rev. Dr. Edmund A. Walsh, vice president | of Georgetown University, Washington, | D. C., today attacked the government | et Russia for its treatment of | of So | the Roman Cetholic Church before the American Catholic Historical Associa- | tion He asserted that since the revolution 1917 it has c ted church prop and impr bishops, priests workers “in deflance t #ts own, which is th ory that religion is pium to the people.” Within the area now under Soviet the Roman Catholic Church in had 61¢ churches in operation, | apels, 810 priests, 7 seminaries | 1 8 bishops, Dr. Welsh said. Now, scerted, there are 182 churches, pels, no seminaries, 110 priests y and 200 in prison, with 2 bishops at liberty and 3 in prison 200 Priests in Prison. “Two hundred priests languish in prison—the remainder of those for- | in service have perished from | fon and starvation or have been 1 and eexcuted,” Dr. Walsh said, | explaining that he has been an eye- | witness at trials in Russia involving | Catholic clergy “The Soviet government, by its de- liberate choice,” Dr. Walsh continued, “has transferred its belligerency to d home and enlarged e into an international menace which strikes at the very foundation of Christian civilization ‘Somber actualities are sometimes obscured by tourists returning from M and reporting they visited | churches and found religious services being conducted as usual. Did the visitor have an opportunity to inspect Sotovetsky Island or the cells or the prison camps where so many are con- fined under conditions of actual slavery? Confident of Outcome. “What guarantee is given them the ministers of religion, whom the tourists saw are at liberty now? They are dis- caring daily. And the lay members churches who remain loyal to their faith do so at peril of their lives, liberties and happiness. Church laws which have been set up are the essence ©f persecution. | “Serenely confident of the outcome of this confilet between light and dark- ness, the church continues in prayer and hop: and suffering” Dr. Walsh said. “She has 19 centuries behind her and all the future before her “The Roman Catholic Church will not recoil, retreat nor compromise be- fore the Soviet government's continued invasion of the most sacred human heritage.” Dr. James Francis Kenney of Ot- wa, Ontario, was iast night elected president of the American Catholic Historical Association officers were: Dr._Constatine Washington, D.

Pratt of the University of T deserves most of the credit for lbhr territorial expansion of the United tates. That man, Prof. Pratt sald, was Capt. A. L. Mahan, naval officer, historian and close friend of the late President Roosevelt. The movement for expan- sion, Pratt declared, was primarily one of the intellectuals rather than the business interests of this country. “If the new imperialism was eco- nomic,” he said, “there is no evidence that it got its initial impulse from the business world. It was only after the victories in the Philippines and the West Indies that business men awoke to the apparent opportunities presented there.” HOWARD U.
