MillerandDefendsPolicyofRepublic TowardsHolySee

ThespeechdeliveredatEvreuxby PresidentMillerandcontainedmany importantreferencestotherelations betweentheRepublicandtheCatholic Church.

Properlytounderstandthesignificanceofthisaddress,itmustbeexplainedthattheradicalandsocialist parties(whowerethesupportersof theanti-religiouspolicyunderthe Combesregime)havebegunanextremelyactivecampaignofpropaganda toinfluencetheelectionstobeheldin May,1924,fortheentirerenewalof theChamberofDeputies.Theydesire,atanyprice.tocapturethepower ofthe"NationalBloc,"which,having wonthedayin1919,haspursueda policyofrestorationineverydomain andhaspermittedthegovernmentto renewrelationswithRomeandsolve thequestionspertainingtothesitua tionoftheCatholicChurchinFrance byanagreementwiththeHolySee.

TooverthrowtheNationalBIOCthe radicalsand'ocialistsareexploiting theeconomic-sodfinancialdifficulties whichinevitablyfollowedthewar,the greatlyincreasedtaxationwhichwas votedandtheseveritywhichthegovernmenthasbeenobligedtoshowtowardpublicofficialsinordertoreduce publicburdens.

MessagetotheNation. Itwasagainstthiscampaignthat followinganoffieiatluncheongivenat Evreux,inNormandy,thePresident oftheRepublicdeliveredaspeech whichhehimselfhasqualifiedasa messagetotheFrenchnation.After defendingandpraisingthefiscal,social andpoliticalworkofthepresentmajorityintheChamber,\I.Millerand spokeseveraltimesofthereligious question,concerningwhichthepresent administrationalsohasbeenattacked bythepartiesoftheleft.

Firstofallhecongratulatedthe Parliamentonhavingvotedinfavour ofthere-establishmentofdiplomatic relationswiththeVatican.

"Therentwalofrelationsbetween theRepublicandtheHolySee,demandedbytheexactviewofourinterestsabroad,aswellasbytheexampleofpeopleswhoareleastsuspectedofsympathyforthePapacy," besaid,"wouldhavemet,sixyears ago,theoppositionofanarrowand falseconceptionoftheroleoftheRepublicanandsecularState."

Separatedfromthechurches,theRepublicmustmaintainanattitudeof deferencetowardallreligions,M.Millerandsaid.Thisattitudeshowsa remarkableprogressoverthatofthe authorsofthelawofSeparationwhe continuallysaid:"Wewishtoignore atreligions"ThefollowingquotationfromthePresidentialaddressis veryexplicit:

"BytheSeparationofChurchand State.theRepublicgaveanaturalconclusiontotheinvariabledoctrineof theFrenehGovernmentthatnointrusionofanyspiritualpowercanbetoleratedinthedomainofcivilpower.

TheRepublicisallthemoreatease formaintainingtowardallreligions theattitudeofdeferencewhichisdue them.Noconsiderations,therefore. couldrestrainitfromrenewingdip.a maticrelationswiththeVatican,happyif,whileservingtheinterestsofits foreignpolicy,itmightcontribute,by thesamegesture.tointeriorpacification."

Asregardsfreedomofeducation,M. Millerand,farfromdemandingthe monopoly,claimedbythedisciplesof Combes,proclaimedthattheState shouldacceptwithgratitudetheassistanceofprivateeducation.Hesaid:

"TheUniversitydoesnotfearfreedomofeducation.Itconsidersitan indispensableelementofemulation andprogress.

"Ifpublicauthority.requiresstrict controlofalleducationalestablishments,especiallywhentheyshelter children,itfeelstookeenlytheneed andbenefitofprivateinitiative,not toacceptitsaidwithgratitude."

Anotherandstillmoreimportant statement,referredtoreligiouscongregations.Inaffirmingthenecessity forallFrenchmen"toworkinthe organisationandformwhichsuits thembest,"herecognisedandproclaimedtherighttoliveincongregation.

"Isnotacenturyandahalfofap- prenticeshipofpoliticalliberty,traversed,itistrue,bynumerousstorms, sufficienttoconvinceusthatthefree expressionofallreligiousbeliefs,underthereignofthelaw,isthevery formulaofprogressinorder?"heasked."Thiscountryhasneedforits restoration,thatallitssonsshould

work,whole-heartedly,intheorganisationandformwhichsuitsthembest.

"TheauthorofthelawofJuly1, 1901onthefreedomofassociation, whosefrienetandcollaboratoritwas myhonourthhavebeen,protestedon everyoccasionthatheinnowayin tendedtoexcludefromlegalassociationsthecongregationswhoseutility wasrecognisedandtowhomauthorisationwouldbegrantedaccoiclingto theformsprovidedfor.Itwouldbe anaudaciousdefianceofbothtopretendtocoverbythenameofWaldeck-Rousseau 1knownotwhatsort ofareturntoasectarianismwhich hefoughtuntilhisdeath."

Toexplainthislaststatement.it mustberecalledthatWaldeck-Rousseau,afterhavingbroughtaboutthe passageofthelawonassociations, whichimposeduponreligiouscongregationstheobligationofsoli(itinglegal authorisation,reproachedhissuccessor, Combes,forviolatingthespiritofthis lawbyrefusingalltheauthorisations whichwereaskedofhim.M.Millerand,whowasaministerintheWaldeck-RousseauCabinet,alsofoughtthe policyofM.Combes.WithoutseekingtheextenttowhichWaldeck-Rousseaumaybereproachedforhaving openedthewayforasubsequentdevelopmentofreligioussectarianismby undertakingareformoftherightof association,itissufficienttonotethat to-day,whenhehasreachedthehighestofficeintheState,M.Milleranddemandstherightofassociationforreligiouscongregations,andthatina messageaddressedtotheentirenation heprotestssolemnlyagainstanypossiblereturntosectarianism.

Asthoughbettertoemphasisethe scopeofhisspeech,thePresident,beforeleavingEvreux,expressedadesiretovisittheCathedral,wherehe wasreceivedbytheBishop,Mgr.Chauvin,whomhecomplimentedonthepatrioticattitude-oftheclergy.ThesignificanceofthisgestureofthePresidentescapednoone.

Millerand'sAppealUnusual.

TheEvreuxspeechhasbeenwidely commenteduponinthepressand throughoutthecountry.Inthefiftythreeyearssincetheestablishmentof theThirdRepublic,neverhasachief executivethustakentheinitiativeof interveningbeforetheopeningofthe electoralcampaign\torcommendtothe citizenswhoareabouttoexercisethe rightofsuffrageacertainpolicyin preferencetoanother.Thepolicyto whichM.Millerandhasgiventhefull supportofhisauthorityisaislicy ofnationalententeandreligioustoleranceaswellasaprogrammeofwork andsocialprogress.WhiletheradicalsandsocialistsaffirmthatthePresidenthasviolatedtheconstitutionby appealingtopublicopinionbefprean electoralconsultation,andwhilethey arefightingwithviolencethedomesticpolicyexplainedatEvreux,the organsofalltheotherparties,especiallytheCatholicpapers,arecongratulatingthePresidentonhisenergetic actforthegoodofthecountry.

Thefollowingisthenotepublished by"LaCroix"attheheadofitscolumns:

"Themessage-speechofM.Millerand isapronouncementofgreatelevation andverygreatdignity.Assuredly,it isnottheidealCatholicprogramme. Butconsciousofthegeneralsituation asawhole,theCatholicswilrallytoit andwillhopethattheelectionswill fulfilit."

TheAnglicanBishopBury,vhose dioceseappearstoincludemostofold Europeeastward-oftheRhine,and whoseclergyaretheEnglishchaplains appointedtovariousplacesinthisregion,towhichtouristsandinvalids fromEnglandresort,haslatelybeen visitingRussia.Hehasbeendisappointingthe"Reunionists,"whocount uponanalliancebetweenCanterbury andMoscow,bygivingitashis,pinionthat"theOrthodoxChurchison itslastlegs."Dr.Bury'sfrankestimateofthesituationisprobablyquite correct,forheisoneofthosewhoin thepastexpectedgreatthingsfrom theofficialOrthodoxChurchofRussia,andwouldnaturallybeveryreluctanttoadmititsfailuretoholdits ownafterthedownfalloftheCzardomonthesupportofwhie'tithad dependedsolong.SomeoftheBishop'scriticsarguethathamusthe mistaken,becauseinMoscow,despite thepersecution,largecongregations attendtheOrthodoxchurcheswhich
