Our Catholic Press ll' ever there was a time in the history of the United States when the impera- tive demand for an intelligent, militant Catholic press was strikingly evident, that hour has arrived. Our ,'x1llCI'lC'2lIl Constitution is attacked as a conservative instrtt- ment: our great industrial lile has been exposed as a horrible evil and a mark ol shame: our educational system has almost completely removed Cod and Christian inlluence lrom the character building ol' millions ol' American children. Obscenity in its most brazen lorm stalks through the land, both in literature and on the stage. 'l'he whole social and political structure ol' America, weakened by the loss ol' Christian education and morality, is now besieged by an evil ideology-call it any ism you wish-and we are shamefully unprepared to withstand the attack. Ten thousand able writers must. be recruitedg volumes of printed and spoken words ol' defense and attack must be distributed, to appease and enlighten the discontented and to soften the fury raging among tl1e misinformed and deluded. XVe need to support our press so that the diocesan Catholic newspaper may extend its circulation until one may truly say: XVe deliver each week a Catholic news- paper into every home of the diocese, without exception. The picture above illustrates the Freshmen acquainting the student body with the value ol' Catholic magazines and books. The play was part ol' a literature assembly held lor the purpose of spreading Catholic literatttre among the student body and also in their individual homes.
