MEXICAN Church
PROBE HELD futile
Critics of Catholicism on
Fact-Finding Committee,
Says Dr.. Burke.

Critics of the Catholic Church in
Mexico have been appointed to the
new fact .finding committee. which is
arranging to visit Mexico, it is
charged by Rev. DR.. John Burke,
general secretary of the National
Catholic Welfare Conference, in a
statement made public today.
THE public will await the report
of this second Herring committee with
an open mind" he said. THE com
nittee Is said TO be made up of church
men and writer's and announced that
it's mission is to foster amicable rela-
ions between the United States and
Mexico.
Sees Little Hope of Justice.
'Dr. Herbert G. Herring, who is to
he in charge of the excursion. is an
official of the Congregational Church.
In spite of the immigration laws of
Mexico Dr. Herring has spent some
time in Mexico himself making ar
engagements with the Gales govern
ment, and the fact that some of his
party are foreign ministers seems TO
have occasioned no difficulty.
This is not the first so.called fact
finding committee that has gone to
Mexico. DIR. Herring himself con
Quoted a similar committee to Mexico
last Summer. and if the report made
then can be taken as a criterion but
little in the way of truth or of justice
can be looked for now.
1T is to he hoped that attitudes
and judgments already taken and pub
1icly expressed by some members of
the committee are no forecast of its
final report.
Herbert Croly. editor Of the New
Republic, has been openly hostile to
the bishops of Mexico. charging them
with fomenting political rebellion in
support of alien interest in Mexico.
Paul Hutchinson of the Christian
Century from the outbreak Of the
present trouble in Mexico has con-
domned the position of the church and
given his entire sympathy to the
Gales government.
Cites Herring Interview.
Or. Herring, himself, in an inter
view given wide publicity last August,
said: The conflict is between a for
ward looking. keenly enthusiastic ma
lion and q church which has settled
down to a barren and dead conserva-
tism'
The presence of such men on the
committee doubtless inspired an item
which recently appeared in Mexican
PAPER congratulating the Gales adj
lniristration for the success of DR..
Herring in arranging for the coming
of this committee. which upon its re
turn TO TIE United States would by
fts report dissipate the calumnies
being published there against the gov
eminent of Mexico
