other matters, whether they relate to
business or religion.
Reports from Washington have al
legged that Mr.. Sheffield had recon-
mended to the State Department that
the United States make a mild protest
to Mexico over the question of reli-
giOus freedom, or intervene through
the extension of good offices. The
spokesman for the President, replying
to these. declared that Mr.. Sheffield
had made no recommendation one way
or the other.
One of the developments most pleas
ing to the President. because it sug
gests governmental stability, is that
the years of banditry apparently have
been brought to "A measurable end by
the Gales regime. Mr.. Coolidge. there
fore, is ready to give credit and make
allowances for Mexico's improvement mt.
German News Pleases.
News that the League of Nations
finally. in accordance with the Lo
Carno treaty promises, had admitted
Germany to the council of the League,
was received with keen satisfaction
in administration circles here today.
While the President himself made no
comment, it was plain to those about
him that he was gratified.
This action on the part Of the
League again makes Germany, one
time leader of the central powers, a
full-fledged member of the family of
nations and it also serves as a COM
plete fulfiliment of the agreements
entered into at Locarno.
1t is known, as q result OF the
Presidents oft-repeated views. that he
looks upon this action as being of
momentous character. but he thinks
that sectional agreements-suCh as
the Locarno pactS are-give the ut
most promise for hope of peace and
understanding i'll Europe.
With the admission of Germany to
the council at this time the IOcarnO
pacts in their completeness now can
be carried out, and that is a step con-
sidered of the greatest Importance to
the peace of Europe.
Whatever elation the President felt
over the admission of Germany was
s0ftened by disappointment over the
defeat in the Wisconsin Republican
primary of Senator Irvine L. Lenroot,
the administration leader in the Sen
ate World Court fight. The President
in his Ericsson memorial speech went
further to bestow praise upon Sena-
tor Lenroot than he has for any Sen
ator. not excepting his friend. Senator
Butler Of Massachusetts.
The President didn't comment upon
the Wisconsin decision, but its sig
nif1cance is apparent. 1t probably
means the election of Gov. Blaine,
who was nominated over IenrOot, and
thus deprives the administration
| forces of stanch supporter and
| makes Virtually certain the election
of an insurgent whose vote will be
added to the Ia F'ollette-Norris Brook
hart crowd of insurgents in the
Senate.
