MEX|CANS THINK
PEACE MAY NOT
Be FAR DISTANT
Opposing Forces in Church
War Reach Point of
, Conference.
Bv United Press

Bu Untted Press
MEXICO CITY. Aug. 23.-Catholic
Mexico today had visions of peace
and compromise in the struggle be-
tween the church and state which
has entered its fourth week. with
the opposing forces at last having
reached the point of conference. But
so far the positions Of the disputants
remain unchanged.
The government victory has
been firmly established to date, and
for that reason President Gales was
able to receive the churchs pre-
liminary advances for elimination of
some Of the alleged misconceptions
pending the result Of the bishops
campaign for legal relief from what
they describe as anti-religious laws.
Courses Open
Three courses were open to the
church today:
/. To seek a court injunction
against the application of the OBJ
jectionable law.
2. An appeal to congress for
amendment of\the constitution.
8. To permit the registration Of
priests as required by the newly
promulgated law.
Appeals to Congress or the courts
are not likely to gain the desired re-
lief.
Registration Of priests, even If in
lTy oh y
an administrative procedure, would
amount to a tacit admission Of gov.
ernmental control Of the church.
Nevertheless. the beginning OF the
fourth week of the struggle found
Mexico more hopeful than ever be-
fore of ultimate solution Of her great
problem.
1t generally was believed that
the desperate desire Of the clergy to
return to the temples which they
deserted three weeks ago, asserting
that no priest could discharge his
duties under the regulations an.
nounced by the government, had
caused the episcopate to seek further
instructions from Rome regarding
registration Of priests.
Clergy Couldn't Return
If the church agreed to registra.
ton, the clergy could return to the
churches. the government would
have won a technical victory and
the church would have suffered but
little loss of dignity owing to Gales
assurance that the registration mere
ly is an administrative matter.
When Archbishop Ruiz, Bishop
Pascual Diaz two laymen and Presi-
dent Gales conferred Saturday night.
optimism was high, but the United
Press learned from an authoritative
source that this meeting did not
prepare the way toward solution of
the fundamental problems.
Both Gales and Diaz stood by
their original positions. According
to Diaz. Gales said he would not
permit Diaz personally to appear be-
fore the congress in behalf Of the
church nor permit the question to
be carried to the people by means of
propaganda or plebiscite.
