Patriarch for Prosperity

"More than 1,000,000 Jugoslav emigrants in America are suffering on account of the Depression," said their Bishop Mardary in Belgrade last week to His Holiness Varnava Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church.

Straightway Patriarch Varnava commanded all Orthodox Jugoslavs, in Jugoslavia to pray on the following Sunday "for the return of prosperity to the United States."

Officiating in Belgrade Cathedral, Bishop Mardary voiced his joy at the Patriarch's prompt action, declared: "Jugoslavs firmly believe that the United States is destined to play a high, historic rOle in consolidating the disrupted relations of mankind."

Secular observers at Belgrade remarked that U. S. Depression has "crucially reduced" the amount of remittances by Jugoslavs in the U. S. to their families at home, expressed confidence that such "urgently needed remittances" will increase with the return of U. S. prosperity.
