that it, representative Of American citizenship IS n
equally Interested in the object Does not every

alton the first step toward doing justieef
Bishop McFau charged that in selecting school teachers
for the Philippine islands discrimination had been praeuo
against Catholics Now this is either true or 1t is not
true Bishop McFaul has made false charge ahu
will receive the of his fellow citizens II IL Is u
