Catholic Archbishop of Manila Harty urges Father Doyle to intercede with President Roosevelt to have Father Hall appointed a chaplain for the Catholic soldiers in the Philippines. Harty explains why he has felt it necessary to write a series of articles for the Catholic press about a history of the Philippines written by David P. Barrows, superintendent of education in the islands. Harty and other bishops believe the Bureau of Education is opposed to the Catholic Church, and he wants Catholics to understand Barrows’s bias.
