DUBLIN, Nov. 26.-(Special to The BeeD
Cardinal Logue. who recently ret6rned
from America, is enthusiastic about the
country, and he said to a friend that If
no was a young man he would locate there.
Speaking at his home, Armagh, he said to
the vast assemblage that greeted him:
The people OF the United States. whose
kindness l experienced on a former Occa-
sion. were even more hospitable on my
late visit. And as ] mentioned before
and this is one OF the striking things in
the United states-kindness is not confined
to persons OF our own creed. We find that
those who do not belong to our faith and
on some OF whom we have not the claim OF
a common country, ere just as kind as the
Catholics in America. / had numbers OF
instances of that where 1 was received and
treated with the greatest hospitality by
people who we're protestants in religion
and on whom, very likely, far as 1
know, 1 had no claim. il is the genuine
spirit Of the place, a spirit that is expert
enced by every one who goes to visit
there, provided he does not go TO teach
them how they should conduct their gov
eminent or themselves. IL he goes there
simply as a guest he is sure to receive
at the hands Of the people a most hearty
welcome.
Il must say for the people OF the United
States that 1t is a pleasure to visit them,
a pleasure to see their wonderful country
a pleasure to see how they are progressing
under a free government. There may be,
and no doubt there are as there are in
every country, drawbacks and to some ex-
tent abuses. But the people are sound at
heart and they are an energetic people
They are a people Of whom we have every
reason to believe that, as in the past they
have been great and successful so in the
future will they be greater and more sue
cessful. And they cannot be greater and
more successful than / wish them to be-
The least thing / can do in return for all
the kindness 1 received is to wish prosper
| ity and happiness and good government
and every other blessing to that great
country, which opened its doors to our ex.
lies and opened up to them a career when
It was denied to them at home"
