American Government has scrupu-
lously refrained in recent years from
insisting on the right of Ameri-

ligious activities in foreign countries,
concentrating on the point that lives
and property of missionaries are en-
titled to protection, and occasionally
interceding as in Turkey whenever
threats which might involve destruc-

In Mexico. the American Govern

right to interfere IL the Mexican au-
thorities passed laws interfering with
the freedom of worship of American
Catholics or, those of foreign countries,
contending that the Monroe doctrine
did not imply an obligation to inter-
fere on behalf of foreign nationals on
religion questions.

In the Far East the missionaries
may be up against restrictions and
