Pope and Taft Dispute Friars’ Lands

The pope and Governor Taft have not yet reached an agreement in regard to the matter of the sale of the friars' lands in the Philippines. The reports state that Governor Taft desires to present an ultimatum to the Vatican, and then break off the negotiations in case it is not accepted. One of the conditions which the Vatican makes is that all the public primary schools of the islands be under the tutelage of the Catholic Church.
