ABSTRACT
The Church of St. Xavier was built in the eighteenth century, by Spanish architects who performed the unusual task of ignoring completely the artistic traditions of their workforce. When one recalls the traditions of the Southwest, real estate speculation can be appreciated, but the police and traffic regulations cannot be readily understood. An important businessman in the South was no end disturbed by a critic of the administration who ventured to express his doubts about the deliberate effort to raise the price level. Every good Southerner should be sympathetic, for the plan if carried out would do much to reestablish a balance of power between North and South in the Senate. A Catholic Church and a Catholic school completely dominate the last remaining Indian reservation in the Northeast. Many thousands of miles away, in the Southwest of the United States, a remnant of an Indian tribe is held together by the good offices of the Bishop of Rome.
