a a Patriotism Is Lost Virtue in U. Rt. Rev. Monsignor Sheen Asserts PERSONS HEAR ADDRESS AT K. OF C.

HALL Country Still Best on Earth, Catholic University Associate Professor Says ADAEC FIGHT ON "ISMS" Audience of Clergy and Laymen from Vicinity Hear Noted Lecturer By 'LEO DUNN Love of country, patriotism, a lost virtue in the United States, although the country is still the best on earth, the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Fulton J. Sheen, nationally known orator, educator and author, told lecture approximately last evening 1,200 persons of Columbus Auditorium in Warren Street.

Assurance that the nation will remain the leader in the world is contained in the Declaration of Independence, he said, through which "we hold 'that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; among these are life. liberty and the pursuit of happi-. ness. Father Sheen, associate professor of philosophy at Catholic sity. of America, Washington, D.C., and speaker on the Catholic Hour via the NBC red network at 6 P.

M. each Sunday, declared that forces are trying to destroy the rights of man and added that the conflict impinges on religion. His address was heard by an audience of clergy and laymen various faiths from all sections of Northeastern New Fork and Western Vermont. "The clenched fist means only violence." he declared. "It resembles the claw of an animal, waiting strike.

In contrast, folded hands cannot strike. they protect, they implicate. in prayer." Opens Talk with Poem Speaking on "The Challenge to Democracy." Father Sheen opened his lengthy, educational, address with a poem from "Child on His Knees." which, he said, he had recited on the Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary for several years. The feast was marked yesterday. He separated his lecture into three divisions--the false concept of liberty, the totalitarian state, and means of recovery.

The false world has of been living urder 8 concept liberty for 8 lengthy period, he said, and the result is that we have the thought we please. On the political side, that we may think, do and say, as he said that the individual has been left to work out his own destiny with the state a purely negative function. Economically, he said that the wealth of the land is concentrated in the hands of 9 few with the result the wealthy have opinion that they may do 85 they wish with the property and money. The idea is that tolerance is right and intolerance wrong, the concept being termed wrong in both senses unless we refer tolerance to persons, not principles, and intolerances to principles, not persons. Has Received Threats While admitting that he had received threats from Communists as the result of his addresses on the radio, he declared that he "always had the suspicion that a Red is a capitalist without anything in his pocket." People In general who take the position that they may use their property as they wish are wrong, he said, and fail to distinguish between right and use.

We need a moral As well as a legal right, he declared. Collectivism in economics, Father Sheen said, place, and has placed in Europe, all property in the hands of the state. While such A procedure has not been resorted to in the United States, such is the case in Germany and Russia while in Italy, collectivism is confined more to thought. He urged his hearers to fight Facism, Nazism, Communism, but to do so in the proper manner. Stating that so-called "peace strikes" of students will experienced in May, Father Sheen declared that they will be inspired by Communists.

Of the history of the idea, the speaker declared that Communism in its extreme form had its origin in Karl Marx, German Jew, and that Stalin and Litvinoff, "the latter who recently worked out 8 trade pact with the United States," participated in a robbery in St. Petersburg with Russian money being taken to France for exchange into French funds to furnish the means for continuance of the work. Of those who participated in the 1917 revolt, Father Sheen declared that all are dead with the exception of Trotzky, now 1 in exile in Mexico. Covering a history of the work in totalitarian states, he declared that all such organizations have failed because they fail to recognize the right of man. The monsignor declared that plans of Soviet called for gaining a foothold in Spain, the result of the present Civil War, and, with forces at the north in Russia and the south in Spain, "burn Europe from end to end." He said that certain pictures released AS having been taken in Spain were learned to have been World War photographs of Verdun, in France, and another French city following an air raid in 1916.

He also said that certain newsgathering organizations had referred only to German and Italian troops on General Franco's forces, omitting the mentioning of Spanish troops which are also fighting. From a copy the Russian Constitution, the speaker' read to his listeners from Article 131, which gives to man the right to work, the first mention of man in the constitution. The second part referring to man was that which gave the right to rest, he declared, and in (Continued on Page Airport Dedication Is Set For Saturday, May 21 Date Coincides with Final Day of Air Mail Week; Program Is Planned By FRANK ADRIANCE Saturday, May 21, was the date set for the formal opening and dedication 'of the Glens Palls' Airport, at a meeting of the Glens Falls Airport Commission yesterday in the office Mayor Earle H.
