CATHOLICS DEMAND THAT ABUsF

OF THEIR CHURCH MUST CEASE
Catholic leaders at the convention OF
the American Federation of Catholic
societies Just held in New York put
forth apparently by arrangement a
message to the American people under
three heads. Those who put il into
words were cardinal OCOnnell of BoS-
ton and bishop McFaul of Trenton. the
last named the founder Of the fedora
ton. It seemed clear throughout the
convention that cardinal Gibbons and
cardinal Farley, also the apostolic dele
gate, archbishop Bonzano. aimed to do
no more than TO endorse the pleas and
plans It seemed also clear that il was
10 back this message that the fedora
tion was strengthened.
The arguments of cardinal and bish-
Cd were that American Catholics are
loyal Americans Both pointed out
many times that Catholics Of Europe.
including many priests, are fighting for
the nation whose citizens they are
Cardinal and bishop declared over and
over that a like condition would OBJ
tain here were there like occasion.
This being so, Catholics ask three
things One is that abuse of their
church cease, both by individuals and
by printed matter going freely through
the United States mails Another is
that discrimination against Catholics in
the matter of public office come to an
end And the third is that money paid
in school taxes by Catholics 90 to the
support Of schools directed by Catho-
lies.
Through the entire New York con-
vention the Mexican situation. while
prolific as a factor in the presidential
campaign now on. and while made part
of the report of the federation itself,
seemed to be treated in statesmanlike
fashion. and the purpose of utilizing Il
for partisan purposes for or against
president Wilson was disavOWed- The
move for social service by Catholics,
while favored. was said not to be per-
mitted by leaders to sidetrack the three
main pleas mentioned.
