Archbishop Hayes Takes Issue With Prohibit
 tiOnist.
SAYS CHURCH
 UPHOLDS LAW

SNew York, March 9-The following statement concern ing the attacks of William H. Anderson, State Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, on the Catholic Church, has been issued by Archbishop Hayes from the Archbishop's resi- dence, No. 452 Madison Avenue
 While yielding to many pressing demands for statement on the slam derous attack of the leader of the A Anti4Saloon League on the Catholic Church, I feel that in taking notice oi It l should apologize, first of all, for not leaving the matter to the decent sentiment of New York, which long since has passed judgn ent on this zealot, his tongue and his methods
 T am grahfed in deed to observe the attitude of the Protestant clergy, who, if I may judge by the press, are not in sympathy with the anti-C Catho- lie utterance of MT. Anderson.
 My purpose in speaking is not to resent the abuse heaped on the Cath olic' Church because the Archbishop of New York dared to disobey the man. date of the leader of the Anti-SaIoon League by non-attendance at his meeting. Abuse always confounds the abuser.
 My sole anxiety is that a single person, in or out of the Catholic this sinister figure in American pol itics, a sower of strife, who sinks so low as to play the un-Am erican role of a brewer of bigOtry
 Let me say most emphatically that the Catholic Church is not affiliated with any political organization, local, state or national; much less is the church in conspiracy to contravene, directly or indirectly, the law of the land.
 'tNo honest man, no matter what he may otherwise think of the Catholic Church, believes the church to be an enemy of law and order.
 ''I repeat my public statement of a former occasion that the Catholic Church breaches and practises con sCientious obedience to every law, and does not discriminate in favor of one more than another. The church fur ther demands that law be obeyed, whether we like it or not. ''Not so MT. Anderson, who presses and stresses the Eighteenth Amend
 ment, because he wants it observed and is paid for so doing. He seems but little concerned about other fun damental laws guaranteeing personal liberty, protection against unlawful | search and seizure. religious free dom, free speech. free press and free legislatures.
 At a time when every sane, con- structive and conservative force and element in the community should be working for a united America, it is deplorable-and discOuraging, too that any man should be permitted to foment distrust and breed mischief. ''Woe to him who, in these critical days, sets af1ame industrial, social, ra- cial, or religious diSsension! Better for America that he had never been bOrn.''

TO
 KILL BONUS
 LEGISLATION

Washington, March 9-Charges that members of the House Ways and Means Committee were ''endeavoring to kill bonus legislation by delay were made today by Chairman Ford ney when the committee resumed hearings on soldier relief legislation.
