When Archbishop Ireland went to
Rome last winter it was known that one
object of his visit there was to confer
with the pope on the so-called "Fari-
bault plan" of making the parochial

upon himself the enmity of the German
priests and bishops, and later the diSap-

signature, addressed to Rev. j. c.
Byrne. now pastor of the Church of the
Immaculate Conception, in Minneapolis,
and formerly Archbishop Ireland'S pri-
vate secretary.
The letter is as follows:

whether Archbishop Ireland's course
