CATHOLICS DENY INSULATION

New York, Aug.r23.-Vigorous re-
sentiment over intimations that the
American federation Of Catholic So
cieties holding its annual convention
here this week is partisan was dis
played today by both laymen and
members of clergy.

words of Bishop Hickey of RoChest-

ance.
After the chair had refused Bren-
nan permission to reply and he
gained the floor by vote of federation
he characterized Galatians remarks
as SILLY" ridiculous" and as
spreading soft soap"
cit is the height Of righteousness
to describe the road as smooth; when
it is rough he said. "It is nonsense
to talk of non-Catholics allowing
Catholics to do this or that. Cath
olics are American citizens and have
the same rights as others"
"One purpose of this convention, -
Callahan said, ''is to disilIusion minds
of non-CathoIics of belief that Cath
olics look only through eyes of cap
italists. It is very evident that there |
is no Catholic unanimity."
Joseph Brennan of Boston, who |
made attack upon Col Callahan

election.

but fighting in Balkans has caused a
profound impression in Bucharest. -
