DENY PILGRIMS HAD
BOLSHEVIK TENDENCIES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The
holding of different celebrations
throughout the country in connec-
ton with the observance Of the ter
centenary of the landing of the Pill
grims, which has focused attention
upon this historic anniversary, doubt
less will, tend to cause particular
interest to be directed to the charge
recently of Father Joseph H. Mac
Mahon, durino an address at Del
monico's, New York, that the theory
of church and state entertained by
the Pilgrims led to the menace of
Bolshevism today. and the reply
made to this charge by John A. Stew
art. chairman Of the Sulgrave insti-
tuition, and others. Chairman Stew
art said, in part:
Such statements are made by per
sons who do not understand history.
II they did they would realize that
the Pilgrims intellectuslly~were 1856,
years in advance of the Declare ion
of Independence. They were the eX-
emplars of the idea of free religious
worship, which is one Of the corner
stones of modern. civilization
Had America been settled by another
class Of people it probably would
have been far different f,om<what it
is today. The charge that the Pill
grims were Bolshevists is ludicrous.
The separation of church and state,
for which the Pilgrims stood and for
which Father AacMahon critieizes
them. has been pretty well justified
by popular opinion on the subject
II. S. PERKS. secretary OF the Brit
ish mission to the Sulgrave institu-

Mahons charges are an attempt to
subvert Anglo American amity, calls

displayed any snap or support of
consequence. 1t was the first day
for January notices and some were
out in both domestic centers. The
amount was not large, but they were
not snapped up as readily as ex-
pected, which seemed to encourage
some liquidation. The selling was
not aggressive, yet IL sufficed to sat

afternoon were anything but steady.
Liverpool was closed, but private
cables from that direction did not
bring anything especially encourag-
ing. One large concern expressed the
opinion that the worst had been seen

panied by any buying OF consequence.

little news and business naturally
