HOPES FOR REPEAL.
Archbishop Farley intimates That
Separation Law May Be Repealed.

New York. Dee. 16.-Archbishop John
| NJ. Farley of New York today gave out
the following statement on the present
church and state controversy in
France:
Here i'll America. where there is no
attempt made by the state to interfere
with the various religious denomina-
tions. the people at large are natural
| ly disposed to condemn cierSymcn who
| by declining to comply with the be-
| quests of The government, expose
themselves to a charge of rebellion
against the authorities of the land.
| But in order to understand the refusal
of the Roman Catholic clergy IF
France to fulfill the requirements of
the new law of separation. it must be
explained that the provisions of the
statute i'll the question demand the
consent Of the church and of its minis
tcrs to the alienation of all the prop
erty that has been bcqucathcd and do
mated to be held in trust for religious
and philanthropc purposes. 1t il;
property which they do not derive from
the government. but from the mrnifi-
ccncc of the people and of which they
are merely the trustees.
The situation created by the nov
law Of separation. which is the cause
of the present crisis in France. is As
if. for instance. the Legislature of New
York were to anact laws compelling
the trustees Of the Trinity Church Cor
portatiOn under the penalty Of confs-
cation. to give their consent to the
alienation of all its vast property to
other uses than those for which it was
intended. and to transfer it's admnis-
tration and control to people that
might belong to rival denominations.
"Were such laws 10 be enacted by
the state of New York, the clergy and
trustees invested with the direction of
the property of the Catholic church
would be prompted to refuse obedience
not only on religious grounds. but also
by reason of their contending that
compliance would involve q fragrant
disregard of their moral and material
obligations as trustees. They would
look upon the law in question as I'M
constitutional AMI therefore consider

opposition for six years. Whether
this will change his plans as tc
