TAFT URGES PUBLIC TO

New York, May 18,-William How
ard Taft gave his views on the Mexican
situation yesterday in an address at the
Free s~ynagogue's celebration of Peace
Sunday.
While the former president expressed
little hope that the pending mediation
conference would accomplish its imme-
dtate purpose, he asserted the offer of
mediation n its acceptance was an
important step toward the future set
Element of International difficulties in
the western hemisphere. He said there
was no popular pressure for a military
policy which the administration cannot
resist. lie said that the people We're
determined to do their duty wen should
that duty involve war. But for war,
he added, the people have at present
little enthusiasm.
The criticism Mr.. Taft leveled at the
Wilson administration had to do with
the aid which, he said. the administra-
ton had given to the Mexican consti-
tutionalists.

There is this thing wrong in many
of the churches" said the vice presi-
dent, that because church and state
are separate and the state makes the
schools, the church has felt itself abb
solved from any duty in the direction Of
education of youth.
'Put now the church is awakening to
the p that children should be reared
in the way of Christian faith from the
nursery upward. I believe there is in
this country today a great spiritual
awakening. and the church is begin
ming to see that it has turned over en-
tirely too many of its functions to the
state"
The vice president also let it be
known that some day he would forget
all of the other political parties and join
the socialists. But" he added, 81 shall

of the church, never while it flaunts on
