lBr Dispatch A. P. wirel

GLOBE, June 16-Depositions of
Syrian citizens who wish to retain
their Syrian citizenship under the
French mandate are being taken
here by the Rev. Father Virgil Gene

church. Otherwise, they will be con-
sidered citizens of Turkey, which for
merly held sovereignty over Syria,
according to the terms of the treaty
of Lausanne, the Rev. Mr.. Genervier
stated here today. He has been COM
missioned by the French consul gen
eral of San Francisco to take these
dispositions, instead of compelling To-
cal Syrians to journey to San Fran
cisco or Los Angeles as was first
contemplated.
He receives no compensation for the
work. 1t must be finished by Aug
use 6.

Ain,t II Awful

Getting wrong numbers over the
telephone, says an official of the tele
phone company, is not always the fault
of the operator. Faulty enunciation
is more to blame. This incident Illus
trates one of the difficulties an opera
tor has to overcome in answering calls:
A Londoner speaks over the tele-
phone:

you can't ear? This is Mr.. 'Arrisoh

will of the authorities is not COM
plete or secure.
1T seems that an obscure menace
confirmed by clouds of suspicion,
interferences and difficulties-hov-
ers over the activities of the 'Catho-
lie action organization which is the
apple of our eye. 1t seems the task
of the education of Christian youth,
which is an important part Of our
divine mission, is endangered. 1t
seems there Is a. conception of the
state which cannot be Catholic,
which absorbS and monopolizes
everything. which makes citizens be-
lieve the state end is again being
emphasized.
ut seems that the ministers of re-
ligion are treated in a fashion I'M
worthy of their high calling. 1t
seems that the law and provisions,
in themselves good, are being en-
forced and interpreted in many cases
by men who, under new names and
new banners, remain enemies of So
ciety and religion.
I'VE are hopeful and confident"
the Pope concluded, that 1t will
soon be unnecessary to describe such
conditions and conceive such fears
and that with the removal of these
things and the restoration of assur-
ance and confidence among all hon.
est people, complete. peaceful CO.
operation for the common good and
prosperity may be achieved"
Pope Plus, with considerable feel
ing, referred to the persecution" of
the Catholic Church in Mexico, say
ing:
I'VE cannot help denouncing
once more the persecution which for
many months has ragged In Mexico
with inhuman ferocity. Impiety,
especially, according to news re-
ceived at the last moment, has be-
come even more cruel We have
been Informed that Venera BILE bish-
ops have been torn from their sees,
the government concentrating, in
generating and even killing pious
ecclesiastics, and slaughtering the
faithful praying before the venerated
sanctuary of the most holy virgin"
Despite the protests of our young
students, he added, ''the persecution
has been extended inside private
schools"
The pontiff admonished French
Catholics not to remain divided in
their religion because of politics, but
to unite in the field of the church,
its divine right, and of Christian
marriage, Christian family, Christian
schools and Christian teaching.
He deplored the outbreaks which
had taken place in Italy after the
attempts on the life of Mussolini,
"who with such energy governs the
fate of the country"
All the members of the Sacred
College residing in Rome took part
in the consistory. Soon after they
had gathered, the pontiff offered
prayer and delivered his allocution.
With the consent of the sacred COL
lege Pope Plus then announced the
appointment of two new Italian car
dinals, Giuseppe GAMBIA, Archbishop
of Turin, and Lorenzo Lauri, Nuncio
to Poland. A number Of bishops,
many of whom had already been ap-
poined by brief were recognized and
the solemn ceremony was brought to
a close.
