ciation of the constant effort while
we earnestly wish to stand as a bond
between ourselves and those coun
tries.
“We have a unique and special re
lation to Mexico because of the pos
itive steps our Government has tak
en at different times in history to
support or deny support to this or
that government in Mexico.
“We are conscious of the limita
tions of the influence of one gov
ernment upon another and the cour
tesies of diplomatic relations. We
know and wish to give public appre
ciation of the constant effort which
our own Government has taken to
voice and to advance American prin
ciples whenever suitable opportuni
ty presented itself. We know of the
deep interest of Your Excellency
and the other high officials of the
Government in the individual cases
that have been brought before you
and of the measures within legiti
mate influence you have taken to
ameliorate the condition of Ameri
can citizens who have suffered in
Mexico from religious persecution.
We petition a continuation of those
good offices and of your watchful
interest.
“We write in no spirit of criti
cism; nor do we make any unwar
ranted demand. We wish to present
with every emphasis our grave anx
iety concerning the conditions upon
the present conduct of the Mexican
Government in its persecution of re
ligion.
“We need not.add that we possess
nothing but sympathy and love for
the Mexican people. We rejoice in
their national aspirations, in their
every effort to promote their econ-
nomic and social betterment, their
union and development as a nation.
But conscious of the growing impor
tance of the problem to ourselves
as a nation, we submit our mind to
you, confident that you will do all in
your power to aid in the solution of
this problem. And our own -efforts
will continue to be directed to the
end that the same principles that
have resulted in the blessings of
freedom to us may be accepted by
other nations, and thus one further
bond of common life be sealed
among the peoples of this Western
hemisphere.
“With sentiments of deep esteem.
“Respectfully yours,
“EDWARD J. HANNA, Chairman,
Archbishop of San Francisco.

“April 27, 1926.
“Dear and Right Reverend Bishop:
“The Reverend John J. Burke, C.
S. P., General Secretary of the Me-
tional Catholic Welfare Conference,
has forwarded to me, by your direc
tion, a letter dated the 23rd instant,
addressed to the President of the
United States by certain members of
the Administrative Committee of the
National Catholic Welfare Confer
ence, representative of the bishops,
clergy and laity of the United States,
in which they express their concern
and anxiety because of the Mexican
Government’s policy with respect to
the church and clergy.
“In reply, 1 desire to state that I
have carefully noted the statements
contained in the letter from the Ad
ministrative Committee and 1 shall
seek an opportunity informally to
bring the fact of your protest and
other like protests to the attention
of the Mexican Ambassador in
Washington.
“Very’ sincerely yours,
“FRANK B. KELLOGG.”
American Protestant Lauds
Irish Catholic Hospitality
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
Dublin—An English publishing firm
has just produced a book called
“'Hie Bible in Ireland”, liy Mrs.
Asenath Nicholson of New York.
The writer, an American Protestant,
details what she found during two
prolonged walking-tours in Ireland
in the days of (TGonnel and Father
Matthew, and what she has to say
is a monument to the hospitality
of the poorest classes of Irish coun
try people of that day.
Mrs. Nicholscn’s first tour was one
of investigation simply, and her
second was in her capacity as a Pro
testant Missionary to distribute the
Bible. She went on foot. She slept
in the cabins of the poor, where, in
those days, the pigs were housed in
doors. She also spent nights in
cross-road public houses. She ate
the ordinary food of the peasantry,
which on many days was nothing
but potatoes and salt. Though she
explained to the peasants that she
was a Protestant, they accepted her
as one of themselves, considering
her a sort pf pilgrim tramping the
country from religions notives.
Mrs. Nicholson emphasizes the fact
that the Catholic priests were in
more intimate touch with the peo
ple than were the ministers of her
own church. She repeatdly received
hospitality from the priests, and
pays a generous tribute to their tol
erance.
She made an especial study of the
drink problem and of the means
taken in Ireland to combat it. The
most successful measures were those
adopted by Father Matthew’, of
whom she savs: “He has wiped more
tears from the face of woman than
any other being on the globe.”
