THE LOYAL TOAST
‘•THE POPE” PRECEDES “THE KING.” •LORD MAYOR’S REFUSAL TO ATTEND CAUSES CONTROVERSY. (AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSN.) LONDON, April 26. The Daily Express’ states that the Lord Mayor’s action in respect to the Catcniaii banquet has raised a storm of controversy. The Oatenians themselves are divided. Some declare they' whole-heartedly agree with the Lord Mayor. Canon How-lett, administrator of Westminster Cathedral, on the other hand, says the toast is simply a historic toast —the Church and State. As Catholics in Britain cannot recognise the Church of England it has been tlie custom for two generations to name the Pope with the Sovereign, which does not imply disloyalty 7, in- , deed it means redoubled loyalty by coupling it with-our spiritual obedience to the Pope. The founder of the Royal Society of Saint George pays a tribute to the Lord Mayor as most liberal-minded, and supports his action entirely 7. He adds: “I would not attend anywhere where the Pope’s name precedes the King”
