Conditions are unacceptable
He continued: 1.-The threatening
tone and the brutality Of the declara-
tion Of the bishops has struck me as
well rs YOU. Conditions are unaccept-
able. An important point is the cir
cumstances under which they were
laid down. The bishops caused the
Pope to adopt a declaration admitting
the possibility of an arrangement with
the local authorities in the use Of the
churches which had been previously
declared impossible. That is not the
position of the victor. The government
has placed the church in legal pO-
sition i'm spite of herself. and that diff
ficulties have arisen and will continue
to arise Is not surprising. The cabinet
