The irish question did not come up

Holy See as the press reported The
Vatican is following the policy of neu-
trality and impartiality in this as in
other similar matters. Moreover, after
reading the forceful public utterances
of the bishops of Ireland, who have the
right to speak on the subject, it would
be indicate for an American bishop,

Praises New Cardinal
Win regard 10 the new American
Cardinal, | wish to say that the choice
made by the Pope, who alone has the
right to create members Of the Sacred
Senate of the Church, is an excellent
one. Both the archdiocese of Phladel-
phia and its distinguished Archbishop
are worthy of the exalted honor.
"The illness of Cardinal Gibbons has
been source of grave anxiety to the
Holy Father. All Rome is relieved to
hear of the Cardinals condition."

nounced the creation of three Knights
of st. Gregory and four monsgnor
