MINISTER GETS HIS
 NEWS FROM WOMEN
Rev. Charles s. WyckOf Critlcize
 RetiCenCs of Businessmen

Business and religion are no longer twe separate themes, Rex, Charles & wyekoff Of the Plainville eongFega- ? tianal church told the members Of the New Britain Lions club at the regular meeting held this noon at the Elks' club on Washington street,
 Rev, Mr, Wyekaff said that the business men are and should take the clergy more and more into their circle af manhood so that they may learn what is going on in the world without depending entirely on what they read in newspapers and in magazines,
 The minister asserted that it is true that as soon as a group of men. who are talking on business, see n clergy man approach they immediately change the topic under discussion 10 something which probably does not relate to business, AS q result, he said, the clergy feel as though they are isolated. Then. the speaker said they must make their rounds of the homes in the parish at which they only hear what the woman has to say and no doubt the subject will be ill., ness.
 This also accounts for so many men remaining away from church on Sun day. the minister said, because the ministers have not n sermon which appeals t0 them. The speaker said that the only way tho clergy will be able to preach on topics thnt would appeal 10 men would he to mingle among them and in their business.
 President W. C. French presided at the meeting, Members of the Central Junior High school social or chestra played.

United States Does Not
 Want to Take Advantage
By The Associated Press

l Mexico City May 15.---The United | States seeks no special advantages in | Mexico through the recognition ne- gotations and also no intention or
 desire of interfering with the sov-
 ereignty of this republic, said Charles B. Warren one of the Washington delegates to the conference in his ad- dress at the opening session yester-
 day
 We come equipped with friendly intentions, hoping to bring about an understanding in order that Mexico and the United States may once more resume normal, cordial relations" said MT. Warren.
 We are convinced, however that certain principles are essential as basis for economic cooperation be- tween nations The principles of jus tice recognized by international law must prevail between nations in or der that trade and commerce may flow with a feeling of certainty be- tween different peoples. We are cer- tain there must be a belief on both sides that business must be conduct cd with safety.
 We are not here for the purpose of interfering in the internal policies of Mexico but we cannot avoid calling attention to the necessity of putting into operation those principles which | the experience of mankind has dem | as essential 10 friendly in- fercourse and commerce between na- lions.
 We sincerely hope that this con ference will not disappont the peo- pic of Sther country"
 There can he no compromise Mir | Warren asserted. with the principles 'ssential to international business.
