Bellamy Storer has been advocating for Archbishop Ireland to be made a cardinal. However, people will not differentiate between what Storer says as an American Catholic and what he says as an American Ambassador. As such, while Storer is in the United States service he can take no part in these religious matters. President Roosevelt admires Archbishop Ireland but, as President, he can not interfere with the advancement of any man in any church.
