Mexican Policy Against Church.
The considerations in Mexico have been
proceeding for years, and the Church
properties held by the government,
taken by force and without compensa-
ton, are valued at many millions of
dollars. The University of Mexico
City, confscated as far back as 1888,
| is still held by the government. It's
chapel was turned into drinking
house. The church at Cuautla was
turned into a railway station. Other
churches have become warehouses;.
military prisons and livery stables.
Although depredations were made
earlier, under the constitution OF Juar-
ez, effective in 1857, the Catholic
Church was outlawed as legal en-
tity. Hence all it's property is held
in the names of individuals. 1t would
appear that unless the Mexican gov
eminent is induced to change it's pol
icy towards the Church, centuries of
legal fighting will not restore it's pos
sessions.
| Catholics Must Defend Selves
With no design or thought of forming
political party, but with the single
purpose of serving God and country,
Catholic laymen must organize to pro-
| tect their rights as American citizens,
Most Reverend Michael J. Curley,
Archbishop of Baltimore, told a gath
ering of more than a thousand at the
meeting of the District Council of the
National Council of Catholic Men in
Baltimore Monday evening. Such a
thing as a political party OF Catholics
shall never be-must never be" Arch
bishop Curley declared, and his words
were received with signs of warm APP
prevail. Admiral w. S. Benson, pres
Iident of the National Council of Cath
Ollie Men, who was present, was among
those who applauded most vigorous
lily. Catholics do not want politics in
Ijected into religion, nor do they want
religion injected into politics, the
Archbishop said. In making that
point unmistakable, it must be under
stood that Catholics should not permit
any interest or organization to tram
pie on their rights as citizens.

lege Week." May 1 to May 6, in all
Catholic colleges, academies. prepare,

ed upon the officials of these institu.

deal not only with the general subject
Of Catholic education but particularly
with the advantages of college educa

, leges, and the desirability and need
that larger proportion of the Cath
Ollie lay population have college edu
