individual, any complaints in re
gard to injustice arising from un
due application of the laws.
“With reference to certain pro
visions of the law which has been
misunderstood, I also take advant
age of this opportunity to declare:
“One. That the provision of the
law which requires the registration
of ministers does not mean that
the Government' can register those
who have not been named by the
hierarchial superior of the religious
creed in question or in accordance
with its regulations.
“Two. With regard to religious
instruction, the constitution and
the laws in force definitely prohibit
it in primary or higher schools,
whether public ir private but
this does not prevent ministers of
any religion from imparting its
doctrines, within church confines,
to adults or their children who may
attend for that purpose.
“Three. That the constituf on as
well as the laws relating to the
country guarantee to all residents
of the Republic the right of petition
and therefore the members of any
church may apply to the appropri
ate authorities for the amendment,
repeal or pasage of any law.
ARCHBISHOP RUIZS
STATEMENT
The statement of Archbishop
Ruiz said:
“Bishop Diaz and myself have
had several conferences with the
President of the Republic the re
sults of which are set forth in the
statement which he issued today.
“I am glad to say that all of the
conversations have been marked by
a spirit of mutual good will and
respect. As a consequence of the
conversations the Mexican clergy
will resume religious services pur
suant to the laws in force.
“I entertain the hope that the
resumption of religious services
may lead the Mexican people, ani
mated by a spirit of mutual good
will, to cooprate in all moral ef
forts made for the benefit of all
the people of our fatherland.”
After concluding the settlement
with President Portes Gil, Archbis
hop Ruiz and Bishop Diaz went to
the Basilica of Guadaloupe, where
they remained for an hour in pray
er. As they left the shrine, Arch
bishop Ruiz said:
“I consider the settlement as the
beginning of a real era of peace for
the Republic, which will without
doubt feel the benedictions which
come together with harmony and
,the close unions of a whole nation
with its Government.
“Now, more than ever. I feel
most deeply obliged to all those
who have interested themselves in
this problem and have helped us
to reach this solution which, if not
complete, is a roa,d by which to
reach a complete one.”
the church and state in Mexico on
sure foundations of mutual respect,
mutual cooperation and a common
sharing of fundamental rights by
all Mexican citizens. ,
•’With the present removal of old
misunderstandings and the joint
acceptance of the great task of na
tional reconstruction, both patrio
tism and religion will not have a
fairer chance to solve the admit
tedly difficult problems that still
confront civil and eccelesiastical
authorities. The two documents
constitute an organic whole and
neither should be read nor inter
preted without the other.”
REV. DR. WALSH’S
STATEMENT
Dr. Walsh also issued a state
ment in which he referred to the
statement of President Portes Gil
as “a welcome harbinger of event
ual peace.” His statement said:
"The simultaneous declarations
issued by the President of Mexico
ind the senior member of the
Catholic Hierarchy in that country
is a welcome harbinger of eventual
) eace and domestic harmony, so
ardently desired by the broad mas
ses of population and ^equally hop-
el for by all Americans both of the
North and South.
“The language and spirit of these
declarations place the relations of

Former Chilean Ambassador
Cruchaga issued the following
statement, June 21:
"In my opinion the signing of the
agreement marked the beginning of
a new epoch in the life of the Mex
ican Republic. The United States
has been no inconsiderable factor
in bringing about the settlement.”
CELEBRATIONS
ARRANGED
As a result of the agreement
celebrations are being held
throughout the land. Great religi
ous manifestations of rejoicing are
being arranged in every city and
town in the Republic. In the great
Cathedral of Mexico City, Te Deum
will be sung Sunday at services
at which Archbishop Ruiz is ex
pected to officiate. Beginning to
day, a nine-day pilgrimage to the
National Shrine of Guadaloupe, in
a suburb of the Capital, will be
held.
Archbishop Ruiz, as Apostolic
Delegate in Mexico, succeeded in
the brief space of twelve days after
his arrival in Mexico City in ar
ranging for the return of the Mexi
can Bishops to their Sees, and the
resumption of worship in the Mex
ican Churches.
Appointed Apostolic Delegate on
May 18, Archbishop Ruiz arrived
in Mexico City on Monday June
10. Without a dissenting voice the
Bishops of Mexico had assured the
new Apostolic Delegate of their
whole-hearted support and confi
dence.
Two formal conferences on Wed
nesday, June 12 and Thursday,
June 3 3, were all that were requir
ed to reach a mutual understand
ing as to what would be the basis
upon which public worship might
be resumed. There then followed a
period of delay in which the details
were being worked out. There was
time for the intransigents on both
sides of the controversy to register
their objections.
Ambassador Morrow rendered a
service of inestimable value as
mediator between extremists and
to him is. in large measure, due
the fact that there was no break

WASHINGTON, D. C.—The
honorary degree of Doctor of Laws
was conferred by the Catholic Uni
versity of America upon Dr. Her
bert Bolton, professor of history of
tho University of California, for
his work in revealing the history of
the early missionaries and other
pioneers in the United States. (Dr.
Bolton and Miss Mary Ross of the

Winifred Stahl, pretended to be an
interview with a ‘‘Rene de Paux”.
The result of the investigation by
"America” was an article by the
Rev. Paul Doncoeur, S. J., an in
timate of the late marshal, which
was published in "America” on
May 25th.
Father Doncoeur triumphantly
vindicated the Catholic character
of his revered friend, and going be
yond this point showed that "there
is no such person in Paris or in
France as Rene de Paux.” There
is, however, a well-known French
journalist whose name is Rene
Puaux. M. Puaux vehemently de
nounced the article in the Post as
untrue.
In expressing its regrets, the
Post said: "It is deeply regretted
that the Post, together with other
American papers was misled by the
statements in the interview sent
here” by the British Newspaper
Alliance.
Commenting on the retraction,
“A-merica” says: ‘While we com
mand the action of thp Post, we
take occasion to suggest once more
that our great metropolitan dailies
exercise greater care in selecting
foreign correspondents whose fields
will lie in countries in which Ca
tholics predominate. No editor
would send his art critic to report
a prize fight, but many editors ap
pear to consider any member of the
staff competent to report a discus
sion on some of the deepest ques
tions in theology.”
