Apropos of the recent Stead utterances.

"The Holy See is absolutely above

siderations. The Holy Father is con-

ilization. Therefore. when such writer's

terances as originally reported. l believe.

emphatically that the Holy See is not
opposed to the American policy.
Il trust that / may be able to contri-
butte in some measure to the social reor-
ganiZation upon which depends. in no
small measure, the success of the great
undertaking entered upon by the United
States. After the civil war. thirty odd
years ago, one part of the country under
took the reorganization of the other
the conquered. Unfortunately many mis-
takes were made. Some of you may re-
member the army of carpet-baggers wno
invaded the South in those days. They
represented one OF the mistakes that
caused long friction and misunderstand-
ing between the sections.
Il trust. such mistakes will not be re-
peated, that We will send no army of car
pet-baggers into our new domain, but
proceed with the work of reorganization
in accordance with the spirit of our insti-
tutions. / shall try to do what I can in
following out the instructions of the Holy
See and in cooperating with the authori-
ties of our Government"
The archbishop will leave here for Ha-
vana in ten days. He will not enter now,
however, into any discussion of what he
proposes to do in Cuba or Porto Rico
or even whether ne proposes to visit the
Philippines. The indications are that he
will be absent from New Orleans a very
long time.
