1 9 3 9 as did the tremendous railroad empire of the Van Sweringen brothers, many of the small rich men are usually wiped out, because most of their private property consists of stocks and bonds in such organizations. Since Pope Leo's time there have been two innovations: the international bolshevist and the international banker. The international banker, or the monetary dictator, controls international relations. He constitutes the invisible government since by his power of causing the purchasing power of money to fluctuate he has the other man by the throat. The monetary dictator caused the depression by withdrawing from the country half of its gold reserve. Consequently, there was less to spend, and less gold on which to base credit. As a result of this, prices were depressed and the people had no purchasing power. To combat the monetary dictator, an Ecof nomic Supreme Court should be set up which would keep the country in a state of prosperity by regulating the volume of money so that there would be more money in a time of high cost of living and less in a time of low cost of living. To sum up, therefore, we should save the small banker, save private property, and end the reign of the four dictators. We should bring all nations together in the sacrifice of the Mass, and we should use the Gospels and the Constitution as our weapons, forming discussion clubs to study them. If we do these things and use these means, the victory must be ours. Mother Cabrini The Church, on November 13, 1938, elevated Mother Francesca Lauerio Cabrini, foundress of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, to the lofty title of blessed Her life was duly scrutf inized in the usual exhaustive manner to prove that she practised heroically the virtues of Faith, Hope, and Charity. According to requirements, two miracles were proved to have been performed through the intercession of Mother Cabrini bef fore the Church conferred this great dignity upon her. Cn july 15, 1850, Agastino Cabrini, a farmer in the northern Italian town of Sant' Angelo Lodigiono, noticed a flock of white doves in the courtyard. He shooed them away, but one kept fluttering back to land at his feet. Finally he picked it up and carried it into the house. Shortf ly afterward a girl was born into his family. Thus the life of Mary Frances had begun under auspicious circumstances. Mary Frances, who had a delicate constituf tion, was given great care by her mother and her sister, Rosa, who was her teacher in rudiments. Mary was a modest, obdient child and because of her piety was called ula santita, the little saint. Even during her early years her thoughts turned constantly to the missionaries in the Orient. With her small hands she made paper' boats, loaded them with violets, and launched them in the stream, pretending they were mis' sionary sisters leaving for China. At the age of thirteen, she entered the normal school at Arluno. Five years later she received FRANK DINOLFO, '41 her licentiate and began teaching at Vidardo Instead of a few weeks, Mary remained in Vidar' do for three years, and was forced to see her life flitting away without her approaching any nearer her goal of Sisterhood. She had petitioned the Daughters of the Sacred Heart for entrance into their community, but they had to refuse her bef cause of her poor health. At length she became mistress of the Institution of Providence at Ca' clogna. Though this was not the fulfillment of her aspirations, yet she found many kindred spirits among the girls, and with them continued her work among the poor and orphans. At the age of thirty, Mary Frances was Hnalf ly given permission to found an institution of missionary sisters. With great thanksgiving, the young saint undertook her new task. With six girls from Providence, she moved into her new abode in November, 1880. From this humble beginning grew the huge network of Mother Cabrini's foundations. It had always been her fond hope to send missionary sisters to the Orient, but God willed otherwise, Pope Leo XIII advised Mother Cabrini to work among the Italian emigrants to the New' World, so on March 31, 1889 she arrived in New York. Mother Cabrini's work in this country is too well known to need repetition here. To the Ital- ians she will always be the i'Mother of the Emif grants. It would be impossible to assess all the good that she accomplished. Her Sisters were right in instinct, if not in liturgy, when they prepared the altar for a Mass of Thanksgiving at her death. fifty-five
