FALLACIOUS BLENDING OF CHURCHES OPPOSED | Pontiff Approves Cultivation of Charity Among' Christians if Faith Is Not Undermined. | By the Associated Press ROME, January 10.—Pope Pius to- day issued an encyclical which is taken here to remove all hopes con- cerning the possibility of the resump- tion of the famous “Malines conver- sations” of recent years which sought to find a means of reuniting the An- glicans with Rome. The late Cardinal Mercier, Arch- bishop of Malines, Lord Halifax of England and other prelates and lay- men took part in these conversations. The pontiff, in his encyclical, said that a union of Christians can only come by a return of the dissenting to the original Church of Rome. Refutes Arguments of Others. In the document, which is the first encyclical of the new year, the pon- tiff restated the church’s age-long stand upon the question, emphasizing that while it is good to cultivate char- ity among Christians, it should not be done to the detriment of the faith upon which that very charity is founded. The document concludes with a refu- tation of various non-Catholic argu- ments in favor of the unionist thesis. It concludes with an appeal to the ‘“‘separated sons” and with the wish that the day may come soon in which “all the erring will finally return to the paternal embrace of the succes- sor of St. Peter.” Holds Revelation Is Guide. After recognizing the general co- temporary tendency toward better in- ternational union between peoples, the Pontiff deplores the fact that some seem to wish to transfer it from the political to the religious field, “thus blending the true religion with the false,” holding all religions to be equally good and praiseworthy.

From the direction of Balboa, the Spirit of St. Louis came sailing through space and settled down to earth on Campo Lindbergh, named in honor of its pilot.

Whereas the | proportion at the time of the inaugu- ration of the lump-sum plan was ap- proximately 60 per cent for the Dis trict and 40 per cent for the United States, the growth in costs of the up- | building of the Nation's Capital has transformed this proportion as of the present year to approximately T4-36.
