Catholic Pressure for More Chaplains

AS IT IS the eve of a Congressional election, the Mirror and the Chronicle, both Catholic papers, urge the Catholics of this country to ask the President and the Secretaries of War and Navy “to appoint more Catholic chaplains, and then back up their request with Congressional pressure.” They say: “We can easily secure the aid of aspiring M. C.’s to back up our resolutions on the subject.” No doubt that they can. A good many aspiring M. C.’s are quite susceptible to “pressure” about election time.
