...Finally, clergymen everywhere tingled to the words of Pope Pius XI, who addressed a consistory of cardinals in Vatican City this week (see p. 36), said in Latin: "We consider it would be a horrible crime, a foolish manifestation of wrath, if peoples again took arms one against the other to spill blood, brothers against brothers, so that destruction and ruin would be sown from the skies, on land and at sea. ...

The Church wants loyal Catholics but even more it wants live Catholics...
...other reason than the fact that for a decade it has not once aroused the wrath of congressmen it serves, Potomac Electric Power Co. deserves the handsome compliment lately paid it by the New York State Power Authority. That body called it "an outstanding case of successful private operation of a public utility." Before it subscribed to the Washington Plan in 1924, Potomac Electric was a constant thorn in the side of Congressional utility baiters, who very nearly succeeded in passing a bill to dam the Potomac River above Washington and sell public power to public servants. They even gained...
