HOPE for an early settlement of
1 the religious controversy in Mex
leo waned again. The episcopate
found little encouragement in the atti-
tude Of President Gales, and voted in
favor Of carrying on the struggle on
the lines already laid out. In this it
has the support of the Vatican. The
pope made a statement to the press
reiterating the, policy of the holy see,
which, in effect, Is that no agreement
with the Mexican government is pos
sible until the laws of Mexico, which
are regarded at Rome as aiming at
the destruction of the Catholic church,
are revoked. The communication said
the Vatican "has no confidence in
President Gales declarations and has
no hope that President Gales will
ever make sincere peaceful and
just proposition to the church," Later
the holy see announced that the news
1t had received indirectly from Mexico
confirms "the complete falsity of the
Mexican government reports anent
the negotiations between Gales and
the episcopacy."

nerves of other nations; and when the
existing government at Picking pro-
posed to issue $25,OOO,O00 in domestic
bonds for domestic purposes which
meant for war expenses, the United
States sent note Of protest. 1t OBJ

appended to the protest, including the

u ERLIN correspondents report that
ID the difficulties In the way Of Ger
many's entry into the League Of Ma
lions and hnal recognition of the
peace pacts of Locarno are removed
through a compromise; that Spain and
Poland have indicated willingness
to accept semi-permanent seats in the
leagues council for three or perhaps
five years. Berlin Is now so certain
