All subscriptions will be gratefully received 1936 MONTREAL, CANADA No. 22 EDITORIAL Loyola’s New Rector On July 15, 1935, the Rev. Hugh C. McCarthy, S.J., was appointed Rector of Loyola College in succession to the Rev. T. J. MacMahon, S.J., who has been assigned to mission work with headquarters at Toronto. Father McCarthy did not come to Loyola as a stranger or а newcomer; having been a member of the Faculty a few years previously, he knows Loyola and knows the students, consequently his appearance among us was rather in the nature of a home-coming and he was welcomed as an old friend. With his first year of office already drawing to a close, the Review can hardly presume to bid Father Rector welcome. It does, however, take this opportunity of expressing the appreciation of all for the sympathy and kindly earnestness he has displayed in everything connected with the welfare of Loyola and the well-being of its students. We might. perhaps, signal out particularly, the interest and effort displayed by Loyola’s new Rector in behalf on the Sodality of our Lady. The consistent enthusiasm shown through- out the year by the students in this, the chief organization of the College, may be regarded as a reflection of the zeal of the Rector in maintaining the Sodality in its full vigour and development. There has been ample evidence of a splendid spirit reigning throughout the College all during the year and this, we feel, stands as a practical testimonial of the esteem in which our new Rector is held by all. That his tenure of office may be abundantly blessed, and that his unstinted efforts for the development of our College may be crowned with the success they so well merit, is the earnest wish and prayer of all connected with Loyola. » ` ` King Edward VIII “It is to the young that the future belongs.” With these words, in his great Jubilee Message a year ago, the late King George V dedicated his son to the duties that were so soon to fall upon his youthful shoulders. If the future be for the young, then it surely is for Edward VIII. England has rarely had a sovereign who combines so cleverly the refreshing vivacity, the untiring initiative of youth with the sagacity and foresightedness of a worldly- wise parliamentarian. It may be said of King Edward that these qualities are combined in him, not merely because he stands between impetuosity and deliberateness by reason of age, LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW Page one

but rather because he has firmly and pridefully maintained his youthful outlook, because it endeared him to his people and then developed by long training a wide knowledge of their conditions and misfortunes, because, finally, their love of him weighted him with the grave responsibility of caring for them. That Edward VIII will accept his responsibilities in the same spirit as his father has already been proven. He has personally dedicated himself to the pursuit of the welfare of his people. Edward VIII has inspiration from his father’s achievements and from the memor- able words of King George’s Jubilee Address: “I dedicate myself anew to your service for the years that may still be given to me. I look back on the past with thankfulness to God. My people and I have come through great trials and difficulties together. They are not over... Other anxieties may be in store, but I am persuaded that with God’s help they may all be overcome if we meet them with confi- dence, courage, and unity, so I look forward to the future with faith and hope.” In the spirit of these words, King Edward VIII cannot fail. May God grant that he be completely successful! What is Mexico to us) Whatever it is that induces men to attribute greatness only to the past in some affairs, and only to the present in others, and even to the future,—in the case of visionaries, —such a mentality is responsible for much of the shallowness in our attitude towards the Catholics in Mexico. It would seem that Roman persecutions and the persecutions of the Reformation are, as a matter of fact, incomparable; that modern persecutions, at least in the old sense of the word, are impossible. It is not our intention to account for this attitude; it is there, and it is enough that we should indicate it. But its consequences are noteworthy, not because they are praiseworthy, but because they are not. We have read that an explanation of the lukewarm sympathy of Canadian and American Catholics for the plight of Mexican Catholics may lie, perhaps, in the very fact of the great majority of Catholics in Mexico. It is difficult to understand, or so this apology would wish us to believe, how such a tremendous majority would tolerate oppression by a mere handful of men. Another reason for our coldness is proposed in this way: Catholics are resigned to persecution, they expect the Church to be persecuted, they endure it, they do not resist. Now we do not deny that these two explanations may account for a certain measure of our inactivity in Mexican affairs, but our inactivity is due in greatest part to our refusal to regard the Mexican situation as something vitally serious. Persecution was of the Romans and the Dark Ages; with modern enlightenment, modern culture, and the modern ideal of liberty, intolerance has practically disappeared, and where it has not, it exists in a far paler hue! This is the sad, sad truth. We think that nothing need be done in Mexico because we imagine there is nothing to be done,—at least by us. Catholic Action is for priests just as piety is for the Saints. Our saints are so great that they are incapable of emulation. So pagan persecutions were so terrible that modern persecutions are insignificant by contrast. Such is, it would seem, our line of thought to a great extent. Do you wish to know why Canadian Catholics are doing nothing to help their brothers in Mexico? Their supineness is not because the persecution is too violent to be resisted, but because they fancy it is [00 mild to be bothered with. It is for this very reason, the lack of appreciation of the real situation in Mexico, that priests have been sent into Mexico, despite the ban on clergy and religious, with the express mission of determining the exact condition of religion in that country. It is for this very reason that the Church is using every means of casting the glaring light of publicity upon this problem, —in the hope that enlightenment may lead to interest, and interest to action. In Mexico City, few signs of persecution have been permitted to reveal themselves to the average tourist. But Father С. A. McDonald, 5.)., was not an average tourist. He was Page two LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW
