which Is conducted by the Passionsts As
the order is an English one. il was recog

rights must come solely from the British
officials. Ambassador Porter's representa-
ton vas mainly verbal. and pointed out
the cOnveniences OF the church TO Amer

that this convenience would not be inter-

II Is stated from an authoritative source
that Ambassador Porters representation
was in no sense a protest or an assertion
OF international right. IL Is fully recog-
nized that the governments action towards
the congregations Is a question of domestic
policy. and the matter will not be referred

IL is difficult for the government To act at
the present stage inasmuch as the entire
question OF the cOngre ga lions has been sub

are not allowed 20 the French orders Ii Is
believed that the final determination of the
