The proposal to sever the year-long relationship would at least clean that house which, as the News has said, is divided against itself...
...gave Dr. Stresemann carte blanche. The French Cabinet met in three long secret sessions and finally transmitted to M. Briand "new instructions."

Whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven."* (MATTHEW XVI: 18, 19.) Achille Ambrogio Damiano Ratti, Pope Pius XI, successor to the authority of Peter, brooded last week at 'the Vatican upon what forces he should loose against Plutarco Elias Calles, President of Mexico, arch foe and suppressor of non-Mexican-born clericals of every creed (TIME, August 2, et ante).
