not be left out of account. If Hitler meets his Waterloo in his
attempt to emulate Napoleon's efforts to get free from the moneypower,
we Catholics in the "democracies" shall be exposed to
another form of attack. Under a monetary system in which real
wealth is either destroyed or not produced, in order to keep up
prices and thus enable private money-creators to collect interest
for the creation of the medium of exchange, the propertyless
masses will sooner or later be hurled against the Church and the
religious orders. Accordingly, strongly as we must condemn the
horrible persecution of the Catholic Church in Germany, we ought
not to allow our expressions of condemnation of the Hitlerite
anti-supernatural programme to be construed into approvel of
the monetary system against which he is in revolt, and which is,
as things stand, an instrument for the propagation of Naturalism. 1
The Naturalistic adventure upon which Europe embarked at
the French Revolution has been disastrous for the nations of the
West. The reaction against its Internationalism is now threatening
to prove disastrous for the Jewish Nation. A step to be
taken to undo the naturalism of the French Revolution and, at
the same time, prevent onslaughts on the Jews, is to withdraw
citizenship of other States from all of them and limit them to
citizenship of one State, their own. That State must not be
Palestine, for the Jewish claim to Palestine is implicitly a denial
that they have disobeyed God and missed their vocation by the
rejection of the True Supernatural Messias. It is the assertion
in action that the promised Messias has not yet come and that
the day of their domination over the world will yet dawn. That
way lies disaster, because all their naturalistic attempts to impose
their will on God instead of accepting His, will involve the Jewish
nation in further dire catastrophes. 2

Has not Pope Pius XI in Quadragesitno Anno denounced International
Imperialism which derides^ the idea of patria or native land and holds that,
where a man's "cash-box" is, there is his country?

Napoleon, by R. McNair Wilson.

It is not necessary to stress the fact that the Arabs have a natural right
to the country they have occupied for the last thirteen hundred years. Have
the Danes a claim to England now, because they were masters of the country
a thousand years ago?
