Mexico and Catholics may settle troubles
New York June 6 (4) Negotiations are under way toward settlement of difficulties between the Mexican government and the Roman Catholic church. Any announcement of progress is premature. Ambassador Morrow, on leave, declined to comment. Arch bishop Ruiz, exiled, visited Mexico secretly and discussed church problems with President Calles. Calles remains willing to enforce laws reasonably but not to alter them. Morrow leaves for a short rest in Maine and will return before July 4.
