verely strained several years-ago and probably
never again will be quite cordial At the in
stigation of President Castro a national di-
Vorce law was framed and introduced in

lesser powers of the church were up in arms
and a bitter campaign against the proposed
law was begun. Castro determined as
usual and soon brought the church to terms
by having drafted bill to expel the religious
orders. truce was effected and the divorce
law was passed; and it is only fair to say
that up to the present time there has not been
a single instance of its abuse. Castro wants

would seem that complaint
of Castro's internal policy
is well founded.
Yet Castro undoubtedly
loves his country and seeks
it's welfare. He is laying
many plans for its better

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Business in

would be found to satisfactorily and
proftably conduct the business Of the

In this country is on such a large scale
and the prosperity so great that the

to stock market commitment for scrne
little time.
