MORE PEACEFUL.
BUT NOT QUITE SO. AFFAIRS IN MEXICO. CALLES AND PRELATES CONFER (By Cable.—'Press Association.—Copyright.) MEXICO CITY, August 23. There is now promise of an amicable settlement of the controversy which followed on the enforcement of the Mexican Government's regulations regarding religion. A conference was arranged between President Calles and the Roman Catholic prelates, during which the latter were informed that the registration of priests as required by the regulations was for administrative purposes only, and that the Government had no intention of interfering with the dogma of the Roman Catholic religion. This declaration was accepted by the Episcopate, and it is now stated that as soon as the churches have fulfilled these legal requirements, there will be no objection on the part of the Government to them renewing religious services. The Church, however, intends to use every constitutional means to bring . about an amendment to the laws. — (Reuter.) HOPES CRUSHED. EPISCOPATE IS OBSTINATE. (Received 1.30 p.m.) MEXICO CITY, August 23. Hopes of a speedy settlement of the religious controversy have been crushed by the Episcopate deciding not to resume Church services at present.— (A. and N.Z.)
