NAZI ATTACK ON CHURCH
CRtholic Revenues to be Cut Down EC0N0MY NEEDED BERLIN, Juno 28. Herr Wagner, Bavarian Minister oi' Education, ftddregsing Nazi funetioJiaries, said the only organised force tUsturbing German unity was the churches, yet they were financially dependent od the country. . The Catholic Church in Bavaria had received 140,000,000 marks from the , country since 1933. Henceforth its. revenues would be cut down, leaving only the funds agreed upon under the ' Vatican Concordat, amounting to onethird of the present total. The femainder would be used t0 buUd schools. "If the chureh cannot manage it should be more eeonomical," he added ■ amid booing. "Cardinal Faulhaber receives 28,950 marks a year and the bishops get 14,000 marks. Those are very decent sums for people who have renounced the world." As Bavaria was previously an experimental laboratory for Nazism, it is believed similar reductions are foreshadowed throughout Germany.
