THE VATICAN AND FRANCE

Rumor has 1t that the papal secretary
of state Mgr Merry del Val, has sent
IN his resignation, but that the pope
has refused to accept It. II this re-
port Is true, 1t must he the intention
Of the head OF the Roman church to
continue the contest with the French
republic, for the friction, 1t is thought,
must continue as long as the present
secretary Is retained In office
The unpleasantness between church
and state in France Is originally due to
the fact that ecclesiastical officials
have been suspected of a leaning to-
ward the old order Of government. But
lately the dstrust has resulted in laws
against the religious orders, some OF
which We're accused OF teaching POI
lltically dangerous doctrines Then
the relations between the Vatican and
the government became strained, and
the visit Of President Loubet to King
Victor at Rome led to a formal protest
from the pope and the withdrawal Of
the French ambassador TO the Vatican
subsequently, charges were filed
against two French bishops by political
enemies. one was accused Of having
been married and the other Of being
Mason. The prelates we're summoned
to Rome for examination. They pre-
scnted the matter to the French cabinet
and were forbidden to leave the coun-
try The French republicans supported
the bishops and the opponents OF the
government attacked them, The matter
became a political quarrel.
II was thought that the easiest way
for the Vatican out of the difficulties
would be the resignation OF the secre-
terry Of state. But, evidently, the pope
refuses to sacrifice a trusted friend and
servant on the altar Of expediency and
who shall say that that course Is not,
In the long run, the wlsest and best?
1t is significant that white the French
republic is treating the representatives
OF Rome with distrust, those repre-
sentatlves are meeting with unprece-
dented favor In our own Republic,
Never before, says a writer in Harpers

Eastern contemporaries again suggest
that the general public retrench on
meat-eating, as long as the prices are
kept unduly high, The advice Is good
Most people can eat meat more sparlng-
ly than they usually do, and gain by It,
both physically and otherwise. Par
ticularly is this the case during the
warm summer months, when much anil
NAL food is known to be unhealthy. In
some cases the public are helpless
against the manpulators of prices, but
as for meat-eatlng, that is something
the consumers can regulate to suit
themselves. II high meat prices induce
many to find other kinds of food, they
may result IN great gain in the shape
Of better health and less mortality.

The quarrel between the French gov
eminent and The Vatican Is the natural
outcome OF an alliance between church
and state when the parties to the COM
pact are mutually distrustful. The
terms OF the existing religious agree
ment In France were arranged by Ma
poleon more than century ago In
order to secure ecclesiastical support
for his government, In compensation
for conhscated church property the
French government undertook the
maintenance Of the ecclesiastical estab-
llshment. The Pope, in his turn, agreed
to permit the head OF the French state
to nominate the bishops and nrchbish-
ops, subject to papal confirmation Un-
der the concordat the French govern
ment pays about eight million dollars a
year In salaries to the clergy.
