lions in India, Egypt and Persia We're
never melted by Roman Catholics
There is less evidence to show that
Irish independence is Roman Cath
olic conspiracy against England, be-
cause nearly every armed rebellion
was planned and executed by Prot
estants. The Irish cause is this one
principle: the struggle of $50 years Of
Irish nationalism against British naval
imperialism.
What is the cause of Irish inde-
pendence? First of all, it is a racial
cause. The Irish people are of the
Celtic race, a different race from the
Anglo-Saxon and the ancient Briton.
In the second place, the cause OF
Irish independence is an economic one.
The land is rich in mineral deposits,
pottery, clay, glass, sand, coal, iron,
peat and other products which have
not been developed on scale of pro-
duction.

A MEXICAN TANG[E
COURT TO RULE ON OWNERSHIP
or CHURCH PROPERTY.

: Mexican Catholics are watching the
suit for recovery of the seminary in
Guadalajara seized during the revolu-
tion and held in the name of the
Mexican government. The institu-
tion was held in the name Of Miss
Maria Ines Rodriguez
One court has resolved that there
is nothing to show that Miss Rodri-
guez is not the real owner of the
school, and it has ruled that it be re-
turned to her. But the case has been
appealed.
There are many similar schools
throughout Mexico Since the Gath
olic Church, as a church; cannot hold
property, all it's property is held in
the name of individuals. If the ruling
of the Judge is sustained in the case
of the seminary, it is believed scores
of schools once affiliated with the
Church will be returned to their os.

holding them for the Church.
