GIBBONS REPLIES
 TO FRENCH CRITICS
CARDINAL SAYS HE HAS STATED IN ROME HIS BELIEF IN REAL SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.

New Orleans, April 23.-Cardinal Gib- bons replying to a statement by Paul Sabater, published today, in which M. Sabater speaks of the cardinal as being 'so proud of the separation between church and state in America" and rec ommends him to read the papal bulle- tions which absolutely condemns It, :" gay out the following interview:
 "In correspondence with M. Sabatier sometime ago. he informed> me of his in tention to reply to my article on the troubles between church and state in France.
 Tn arguing for separation of church and state I do not presume to speak for other countries or for other condi- tions. l speak only for my own country and it's conditions.
 Although I may venture the opinion that, whatever the opinion of the French episcopate may be with regard to separa- tion of church and state, 1t would be bet ter for that country If they could enjoy the real separation of church and state as 1t is in this country; namely, true separation.
 q am, therefore, unalterably attached to the separation of church ana state in this country and have always eX- pressed my belief and satisfaction In it. Il so expressed myself in its favor thirty years ago. l did so later on in Rome It. self and have no hesitation in express ing the same solemn belief today.
 "Indeed, I cannot speak too highly Of the present relations between the church and state in this country, where the civil government holds over us the arm of it's protection. without interfering With our rights of conscience in proclaiming the truths of the gospel"
 Cardinal Gibbons is in New Orleans to participate in the ceremonies of be- slowing the palilum upon Archbishop Blenk of this city, tomorrow.

 My opinion is,' said Representative Burnett tonight, "that Cuba will never be able to govern itself more than, a few months at a time. 1t may be all right for some of us to jolly the Cubans into believing that they can get along without us. but do not believe self-government on their part is possible.

Whose Fault is 1t?

"Why doesn't Cortelyou pour out
some millions in the west?" people
are asking. "fNhy is all the money
given to Wall street,"
The financiers have always had
an answer for this. 1t was fair
sounding answer. 1t looked straight
when you relieve Wall street, :"
they say, you do relieve the whole
country, because Wall street is the
financial center"
Wall street could have relieved
the country this time; but Wall
street wouldn't. We want you to
remember this.
When the scream went up for
real, sure enough money, nearly
S5O,O00,O00 Of government funds
were handed out to relieve the strin-
gency. Most Of it went to New York.
"Take this, the government said
Let it go north and west and south,
put it into circulation. That's what
we are giving it to you for"
So Wall Street took the money
but didn't pass it on.
The big steel vaults Of high fl
nance began to fill up. They hav'
filled up more and more.
They have been keeping the mon
ey for themselves.
This is Cortelyou's deliberate
charge.
Over the country are vast crop
waiting to be moved. There ar
A $50, 100000 bushels Of oats. Their
are 2,5OO,OOO,OO0 bushels of corn
There are 625,O00,000 bu. Of wheat
The movement of these crops i
the blood circulation of the country
1t takes real money to movs them
Whatever you think of Cortelyou
he is playing the man now.
He is saying to these gorge
banks-and not all of them are il
New York, either-that this none
must go out; that if it does not h
will withdraw the national funds OF
deposit with them, and send tn
money out himself.
Wall street is making tremen
dous mistake in its effort to taste
the blame for countrys embarass
ment upon the administration. Th
man in the street may not unde,
stand how it has come about, but j
