He made some most Interest ing statements concerning the pope and church matters to friends. Among oth er things, he le quoted ae saying: "Pope Plus was practically forced on the papal, throne. He did not wish to take the responsibility. He will not live long. He does not want to. In my opinion, he will never hold a con sistory, and the outlook for the crea tion of an American cardinal Is not encouraging. The pope, a few days aft er his elevation, declared that he would never hold a consistory, and that he did not wish to have a long pontificate. I believe his wishes will be fulfilled. "If the pope should decide to honor this country I believe he would not create one cardinal, but two; and they would be the archbishop of New York and Archbishop Ireland." & ^ - ■ T8i ■ -j?
