IRELIGIOUS PEACE
SEEN IN MEXICO
Morrow Reported Leader in
Negotiations Between
Church and Callcs.
By the Associated Pres*.
NEW YORK. June 6.-The New York
World said today:
‘Trace between the church njid state
in Mexico seems definitely arranged,
according to dispatches to the World
and to private citizens here from Home
and the City of Mexico. Formal con
firmation that an understanding has
been reached is expected from the
Vatican, perhaps today or certainly in
the next few days.
“The unofficial help of Ambassador
Dwight W. Morrow In beginning and
outlining negotiations, plus the work
of Archbishop Leopoldo Ruiz of jyi.jtr.ca
ean, who Is now in Romo, are Or.i evert
I largely responsible for the end o _ a
| controversy which has racked Mexico
i for nearly two years.
"Under this settlement the people ot
! Mexico will once again be able to wor-
I ship, in their accustomed manner;
| churches will be reopened: priests will
I return to their cures: the sacraments
1 will be administered without the secrecy
of the last two years.
"Both sides, according to the World s |
information, are making some conccs- .
stons which will enable the church to
abandon the charge that the state
seeks to dominate religion and enable
the Calles administration to function
without charges of church interference
in state affairs."
The Madrid Women's Club, which
opened the first clubhouse for women
in Spain, has for its president Marta
| rtf Maetzu. a former professor of Span
! ish in Columbia University.
