That those provisions are being car ried out almost exclusively against Catholics and the Catholic church at •this time should not blind our fel low citizens to the fact that they are in themselves absolute denials of those principles upon which wc as Americans believe that just gov ernment must be founded. The present government o’f Mexico won its way to power by revolution, and has been strengthened in its hold upon power hv recognition by our own government of the United States. Before such recognition was granted in 1915, the U. S. secretary of state, Mr. Lansing, at the direc tion of the United States senate, in terrogated the then provisional gov ern menriof Mexico as to whether or not that government would guaran tee and provide religious liberty for 4s people. The Mexican govern- .ment solemnly pledged itself to the constitution of 1857. On that prom ise our government^ granted recog- nition. No sooner was it won than the. government of Mexico scrapped the constitution of 1857; declared a pre-constitutional “period,” and by military dictatorship forced, not through popular vote but through picked ^convention, the constitution of 1917. The present constitution of Mexico was imposed on Mexico by a hand of insurgents at a time when Mexico was prostrate and when the rest of the world was at war. Despite the fact that in 1920 our government was again forced to sus pend diplomatic relations with Mex ico and did not resume them till 1923. the conditions of recognition established in 1915 were still oblig atory on Mexico. These conditions, which underlie all negotiations be tween civilized governments, were postulated as premises to the agree ments which were later on entered into by both governments. Wc are amply justified, and not only justified, but, as is every Amer ican, obligated, to call upon our government, therefore that its origi nal request upon which recognition Pretty Atlanta Marriage Blessed With Nuptial Mass (Special to The Bulletin) Atlanta, Ga.—One of the prettiest weddings ever solemnized at Sacred Heart Church was that on May 1 of Miss Katherine Haverty, daughter of Mr. James J. Haverty, and Russel Sylvester Bellman, son of Mr. „g|id Mrs. John Hutchins Bellman of Lou isville, Ky, Rev. James A. Horton, S. M,, pastor of Sacred Heart church, officiating and celebrating the Nup tial Mass. The bride was given in marriage by her father, with whom she en tered the church. Mrs.JLon Wood- fin Grove, sister of the bride ,was matron of honor, and the bride’s at tendants were Mrs. Robert 'IV Jones, Mrs. William Parker. Mrs. John Knox, Miss Jennie Robinson. Miss Margaret Nelson and Miss Katherine Murphy. William Hammond of Lou isville was best man and the grooms men were J. J. Haverty, Jr., Es- monde Brady, Lawton Stevens, Her man L. Becker of Louisville, Dr. Lon Woodfiu Groves and William D. Wi- dau of Pittsburgh. The ushers were J. Carroll Payne, Clarence Haverty, Thomas JI. Daniel, Dr. Thomas P. Hinman, Hunt Chipley, Henry Hoff man and Hughes Spalding. Little Misses Mary McGaughcy and Claire Haverty, nieces of the bride, were flower girls, and .Tames Claude Hav erty of Memphis was ring-hearer. Charles A.

The United States gave recognition to Mexico on Mexico’s specific prom ise that it would guarantee religious liberty to all its citizens. Mexico has not kept this agreement, but on the contrary, licr government has entered upon a definite cam paign of force to destroy religious liberty and is intensifying that cam paign by striking at the roots of religion—religion eduction. No American cau view with indif ference the active propaganda of principles that are subversive of our own government; that will, if per sisted in, embitter our relations with 4iio whole of Latin-Ameriea. Where religious justice is violat ed, there cau be no political, no civic peace. The situation is so critical that we call upon our Catholic people not only to interest themselves as a body, but to hold meetings with their non-Catholic brethren that will voice Hie protest of the public; that wilt both call upon our own' gov ernment to use its good offices to see that justice is restored and that religious and educational liberty arc, enjoyed by the people of Mexico.
