Why doesn't the Roman Catholic Church
care for its own poor?
Do you know how much the “Red Hats”
cost the American Cardinals?
Zte yon know that every penny of those ten
thousand dollars, came from the United
States of America?
Why ain’t some of that feed those poor,
st a rvi ng Bel gi ans ?
> Vv by can't the Vatican “catch a word from
, Belgium?”
Not content with sending ships loaded with
food, doctors, medicines, and gifts, to a coun
try whose need is no greater than our own,
we are letting down the bars for more dis
• tress, more want, more misery, more pauper
ism, by permitting a cold-blooded Hamilton
ian president to "refuse to sanction the re
stricted immigration which would lessen the
crowding in the big cities.
And in return for all this fatuous shower
ing of gifts on Belgium, it is pleasing to note
that the manner in Avhich this country is to
be honored, is by the naming of three streets
in the city of Louvain, “President Wilson,”
“Washington,” and “American Nation."
Isn't that a magnificent return for all the
“relief" that has been showered on Belgium?
Don’t that make the hungry, shiver ng
Americans in the bread-line, soup-kitch is
and municipal lodging houses of New York,
Philadelphia, Buffalo, St. Louis, Chicago
lanta and every other city of these Unk d
States, feel grateful ?
Next to the hysterics we have been h.i k:g
over Korea, China and India, we have p; w a
ourselves the banner nation of fools h
fusing to heed the cries of distress in our own
country, and the end is not yet in sight.
