Dispute

WASHINGTON, March S.--General
Jose Lacrete Molte AMI Felipe Prizo,
Cuban leaders called al the war de-
partment and had an interview with
Acting Secretary Meiklejohn relative
to the appearance in Cuba OF Bishop
Sbarretti They objected very strong

The callers had an indiStinct idea OF
the limitations imposed upon the gem

difficulty that Mr.. MeildeiOhn made
them understand that by the terms
Of the United States constitution,
the executive had no power to inter-
fere in such matters. there being no
association of church and state as was
the case in Cuba under the Spanish
regime.
