ARCHBISHOP Hanna
DENOUNCES GALES
Head OF National Catholic
Welfare Conference Com
nentS on Mexican Laws.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
II President Gales of Mexico un-
derstands liberty, the United States
does not, Archbishop Edward J. Han
ma. chairman of the administrative
committee, National Catholic Wei
fare Conference, said here yesterday,
in a statement commenting on relig-
ious conditions in Mexico.
What President Gales calls law
and authority is odious tyranny, he
said. Refusal to endure such
tyranny is the first line of defense
for justice and liberty"
The archbishop's statement said IN
part:
''The widespread protest of the
Catholics of Mexico and the drastic
measures adopted by the Mexican
hierarchy will be easily understood
by the American people il they Will
but consider the character OF the
laws against which such action and
protest have been taken.
Lists Hypothetical Cases.
Let us suppose that President
Coolidge ordered the governors OF
every State in the Union to define
the number Of Catholic priests or
Presbyterian ministers VINO WOuIQ DS
permitted to hold religious service
and that the governors by virtue of
the power invested in them by law
complied. What would the people
Of the United States do?
Suppose the editor of the Christian
Science Monitor were sentenced to
Jail for six years because his journal
criticized adversely, for example. the
present Federal immigration law.
What would be the public sentiment
of this country?
Suppose it were forbidden by the
law of the United States that In no
public or private school, or college
or university, the name of God be
mentioned. Would our American
people tolerate such tyranny?
SUDpOsitiOn Is Impossible.
Suppose all colleges and seminaries
devoted to the education and train
ing of priests and ministers and rah-
bis were ordered closed; and that
every priest or minister or rabbi were
deprived Of the right to vote, and the
right of assemblage, the right of
trial by jury. 1t is inconceivable
that such a condition even would be
thought of in this country.
Suppose Cardinal Hayes or Bishop
Manning denounced such laws-if
such laws were ever passed by our
United States-and as a result were
exiled or imprisoned. Would mt

dent Gales regarding the forthcoming
religious regulations will merely have
the effect OF intensifydng the prayers
OF the entire Catholic world for their
Mexican brethren on August /, when
the regulations 60 into effect.
The gist of the Presidents declara-.
tions was communicated by the Asso.
ciated Press to the Vatican authorf-
ties. who authorized the statement
that 1t was "a perversion of the ac-
tuaI facts" The allegation that the
Catholic church had engaged in po.
Iitical activities In Mexico was
termed utterly false and unfounded."
It was stated that the Pope would
be informed Of the declarations, but
that it was not known whether he
would decide to take public cogniZance
of them.
The Vatican statement said the
whole world knew that the Mexican
governments persecution Of the Cath.
olics was cruel and unjustided, and
directed against innocent individuals
who had not the slightest knowledge
of or interest in politics of any sort
The Presidents statement, is was
declared, could not hide the RESPONSE
bility for the horrible treatment or
Catholics on the pretense OF the
church's political detectives, and
could not justify the wanton perse-
cution Of individuals. particularly
nuns, the details of which were so in
human that 1t was impossible to pub
! lish them.

Suggestions that although the

the New York Yankees, Is almost
certain to stick. Higgins says Gar

Higgins. TT is true we won in
1922 with five righthanders Bush,

but that staff was top-heavvy with
righthanders. 1t had lot of spIen-
did talent, but the staff acquired
greater balance after we procured
Pennock. Very few clubs have won

ing"
OF Higgins 1S available pitchers.
only three are lefthanders--PsnnOc
Braxton and Cummings. The latter
is young 19.year- old semi-profes-
sional from Philadelphia. He may
have something in him, but at pres
ent he is entirely too light for big
league purposes. That practically
clinches a job, for Braxton.
Another lefthander with quite a
future was Ben Shields. who un-
fortunately developed pulmonary
troubles just as he appeared ripe
for big league picking He was q
Dixie collegian and had been farmed
out twice. Shields finished the 1925
season with the Yanks and won
three straight games. Higgins said
he expected to break Shields in this
year as regular. The unfortunate
young pitcher has been placed tenn
porarily on the retired list.

There are ten in PoehIer's marty.
It is likely that all will see action,
for besides a team match, there
will be doubles and singles. The

result in a triumph for Wolsten-

This switch adds color to BIick,s
lineup. Urban recently rolled the
highest five-game set ever recorded
in Washington ga shooting for
the Lafayette team against the

As IL stands now the AII-Star
