CHURCH LIBERTY
LAID TO COURTS
Constitution Failed to Set
Basis, Catholic Historians
Are Told.

The courts. rather than the Consti-
tuition, have established the principle
of religious liberty on a firm basis III
the United States, Clarence h. Martin,
retiring president of the American
Catholic Historical Association. told
that body yesterday.
The original Constitution, he point
ed out. merely prohibited the Govern
ment from making religious discrimi-
nations, but imposed no restrictions
on the States. Later it became the
practice TO insist that State constitu-
tons contain a similar provision be
for the Commonwealth was admitted
to the Union, but this left the original
colonies with full liberty to impose le-
ligious restrictions if they saw mt.
Christians Favored.
Most of the colonies. he said.
allowed religious freedom only to
Christians. and some restricted 1t to
Protestants. One of the causes for
which South Carolina Joined in the
Revolution was that George III al
lowed the free development of the
Catholic Church in Quebec, Mr.. Mar
tin declared.
Although there is no official religion
in the United States. according to the
Constitution, Mr.. Martin said, the
courts generally have upheld Chris
tianity. which is a part of the com
mon law, and the Supreme Court has
held that this is a Christian Nation.
The apparent conflict between the
Constitution and the common law. he
said, has in many cases broken out
over various Sabbath observance
statutes: and the courts almost invari-
ably have upheld them. Some courts
have held that Sunday is a holy day
in accordance with the common law,
while others have evaded the difficulty
by maintaining that it lies within the
police power of a community to set
aside one day of rest and need have
no religious significance.
Sanctity OF Confessional.
The courts have held consistently,
he said, that immoral or Illegal acts
cannot be perpetrated in the guise of
religion. even though their suppress
sion may act seriously against the in
terests of the sect.
The sanctity of the confessional. he
said, is not upheld by common law
but has been firmly established by ju'
dicial decisions in the United States
Some States automatically disqualify
as a witness any clergyman to whom
confession has been made. while
others give him full right to refuse
to testify, but do not prohibit him
from doing so.
The courts also have upheld the
points in the common law which seem
to make Christianity official by sus.
tanning the exemption of clergymen
from military service, he added. Re.
ligious courts have been upheld in
matters of church discipline. but the
law courts have stepped into disputes
over church property and determined
the faction with the best title, Mr..
Martin asserted.

MORE STRINGENT IMMIGRATION
LAWS QUESTIONED BY RICHIE
Governor Holds Further Prohibitive
LEGISLATION Should Be Governed by
Country's Early Experiences.

while the design Of the second was to
afford interesting reading without
much regard to historical accuracy.
He urged return to the middle
ground of scientific history written
with a general appeal.
Reconstruction Of the past" he
said. calls for insight into the human
mind. 1t calls for the temperament of
tho artist coupled with the we'll bal
anccd mind of the historian. The
highest task Of history is the educa-
ton of men and women. When you
carry us into that land Of mystery,
tho past, you deepen our Judgments,
impart passion for truth and a bet.
ter understanding OF humanity"
The study Of history, he said, was
becoming the chief humaniZing influ-
cnce in the colleges since the decline
in prestige of the classics, and was
exerting q wholesome cultural back
ground to students of the sciences.
Invites Researches.
Scholarship" he said, never can
be provincial. It's interests transcend
all national boundaries" He invited
members of the association to extend
their researches in Canada, where
they would be able to study an old
people in new environment" He in
sisted that there was much virgin
territory in the Dominion for the work
of the reconstruction of the past, eS-
pecially in Quebec, where land deeds
frequently are passed today bearing
the seals Of seventeenth century Kings
of France.
DIR. Frederick Keppell, president of
the Carnegie Foundations. told of the
policy of that organization in granting
funds to aid various types of research,
and expressed the belief that there
were many wealthy persons in the
country who would be willing to en-
dow scholarly Investigations IL these
were presented to them in the right

PROBE OF FLOOD
PLAN IS ASKED
CaraWay Hints Engineers
Report Was Altered After
Conference.
By the Associated Press.


Charging that the original recon.
nendations Of Army engineers for the
flood control work on the Mississippi
River were altered at the request Of
tho administration, Senator Caraway,
Democrat, Arkansas. announced today
he would seek an investigation of this
when the Senate reconvenes next
week.
Senator Caraway said he understood
that the original report OF both Maj.
Gen. Jadwin. chief of Army engineers,
and of the River and Harbor Commits
sion. did not provide for contributions
by local communities to the cost Of
the program, as was included In the
engineers report submitted to Con-
gress by President Coolidge.
The first reports, Senator Caraway
said he understood. also provided for
a larger total amount to be expended
on the flood control program than Is
now contemplated.
Mr.. Caraway said he would ask the
Senate to inquire of Secretary of War
Davis If the original recommendations
Of Gen. Jadwin were altered after con-
sultation with the administration Off
GERS.
THE present proposal to have local
communities bear 20 per cent of the
cost of flood control Is impossible" he
said. 1T is just like asking the coast
cities to bear 20 per cent OF the cost
of maintaining the Navy because they
receive the protection OF the Navy"

The wisdom of more rigid immigra.
ton legislation and of the policy of
sitting immigration according to coun.
try of origin was questioned by Gov.
Albert G.. Richie OF Maryland, speak
ing last night at the joint banquet of
the American Historical Associa ton
and the American Political Science
Association at the Willard.
The economic and industrial de-
velopment of the Nation, he said,
would not have been possible had not
great masses of the adult man-power
OF Europe migrated to this country
and contributed by their brains and
labor to it's growth.
He expressed the belief that Europe
is in part repaying its debt for Ameri
can money loans and credit extension
with human capital" which it has
been sending to this country. Gov.
Richie pleaded for a consideration of
the immigration problem in the light
of history and economics rather than
from the viewpoint of alarmists and
persons with national prejudices be-
fore any further legislation is enacted.
Urges Study Of Past.
Gov. Richie insisted that "sump-
tuary" legislation. which he charac-
terized as Legislation which uses a
policeman to enforce the ideas of q
few on tho many" should not be en-
acted without studying the record of
the past. This generally would show,
he believed. that such legislation was
futile and mischievous. He said that
il State Legislators had a clearer idea
of the lessons of history the outlook
for wholesome constitutional develop
ment i'll the United States would be
reassuring.
Vincent Massey, the Canadian Min.
lister, spoke of the changing view
points in history and the movement
now under way to devote more re.
search to the social development Of
the past rather than to dynasties and
battles. In his own college days. Mr..
Massey said, history was dlgnified,
well written and scholarly and might
have been classified as one of the arts.
At present, he felt, there are two
kinds of history-that of the scholars
and that of the sensationalists.
The first. he said. was so high
brow" that IL afforded little of interest
to anybody but the trained historian,
