 Numerous priests and members of religious orders are  
 no longer able to direct schools, not for lack of  
 qualifications demanded by law, but because of their  
 priestly and religious status.    By virtue of an order  
 concerning non-commercial associations and foundations,  
 some of our institutions have had to pay very large

 for our Catholic University was obliged to pay 143,000

 subscriptions.    The Youth associations, such as the  
 Catholic Boy Scouts, the Young Guard and the Crusade  
                   were simply suppressed.

 all activity and that in its place a commissar shall be  
 named with full powers. This commissar belongs to the  
 National Socialist movement. By virtue of this act  
 the Catholic Workers' League, together with the organiza-  
 tions which ere affiliated with it, is falling to
