less such a step were recommended by President
Roosevelt that while the report was evidently
Incorrect it was not an unnatural mistake, He
added:
Such mistakes arise from the fact that many
Europeans do not realize how absolutely distinct
are church and state in this country. In the
Roman Catholic countries OF Europe the Vatican
would ask If any candidate to the Cardinalate
would be an agreeable appointment to the ruler
or administration. at least in ali instances
where a concordat existed between the Vatican
and the country from which it Is desired to
select a member of the College OF Cardinals.
This precaution would be taken with view to
preventing the appointment Of churchman
and thus rendering difficult the relations over
which the Cardinal would have local super
vision This being the ctsstssn in Europe
European would naturally ask. u Archbishop
JreIands name were mentioned: HAS he
cefved the endorsement of PrAateeut Roosevelt? o.
and doubtless from such an Inquiry arose the re-
port referred to.

he would although he could give no idea as
