We alone have_not yet made any such provision, and I hope that within the near future the committee over which the Senator texts of the treaty and its accompany- ing concordat. | The Italian government notified all Italian Ambassadors and Ministers abroad of the agreement and of the| forthcoming signing. This was the first official move made by that government in connection with the question. Car- | dinal Gasparri, papal secretary of state, | although suffering from a severe cold, received the diplcmats accredited to the | Holy See this morning and heard their | congratulations before retiring to his | room, where he remained the rest of the | day. King Gustav of Sweden visited the Pope today and congratulated him dur- ing a 15-minute chat on the reconcilia- tion with Italy. He was the first crowned head of Europe to do this. French Am- bassador de Fontenay was the first diplomat accredited to the Vatican to present congratulations to the Pope, which he did early this afternoon. Ambassador Fontenay voiced the satisfaction of the French Republic at the successful conclusion of the accord. The Ambassador said that the event was particularly gratifying to France in view of the «-orts of his government to pursue the work of conciliation and ce. pe%‘ho pontiff thanked the Ambassador warmly, and voiced his personal pleas- ure at the “happy formula” in which the congratulations had been expressed. Summary of Pact to Be Published. It was learned today that the Vatican and the Italian government have agreed not to publish the texts of the agree- ments until they have been presented to the Italian Parliament, which meets in April following upon the general elec- tion in March. In the meantime only & summary will be published, giving a mere skeleton outline which will prob- ably be less comprehensive than the | summarizations already carried by the Associated Press. These texts have been printed in the secret printing shop of the Vatican by workmen who have not been permitted | to leave the Vatican or even to talk to other persons within the building. The Vatican has one of the best printing houses in Rome, especially for Latin | texts, where most of the ecclesiastical liturgical and theological works of the | church are produced. To this printing house any one is admitted to purchase the publications, the best known of which is the “Acta Apostolicae " or_the official Gazette of the Holy See. But besides this there is a secret printing house to which no one has access except high officials of the papal d ent of state. Here are employed old and trusted printers who have spent their entire lives in the same empl ent as their fathers and grandfathers. One generation after another has succeeded to the same trade under the Vatican roof. Pius Comments on Commas. ‘The final proofs of their work on the Ttalo-Vatican treaty were corrected to- @ay by the Pope for the last time. In going over certain passages, he often Temained with his pen in the air, un- decided whether to put in or to omit a comma. He said, “There are cases where the presence or absence of a eomma entirely modifies the meaning.” Finally, late tonight, the " corrected fi:ou were released for the final print- ; thus the official text now exists which will be signed Monday morning by Cardinal Gasparri and Premier Mussolini. Later it will be ratified by Pius XI and Victor Emmanuel III. After- ward, both papers must be submitted first to the Fascist! Grand Council and then to the approval of Parliament.

Pope Has No for Membership, Catholic At hority Says. A, February 9 (#).—A private | et Te r received in League of Nations circles today from a high Catholic euthority says that “statements con-|intercourse with the cerning the entrance of the Holy See into the League are ill-considered rumors which certainly do not come either from circles well informed on the desires of the Vatican or from circles well informed on the League.” | ‘The writer said that he was able to State on the highest possible authority that the Pope had no desire to take 2 Pplace in the League and that if he were asked to do so he would decline. There has been much discussion at Geneva whether the Vatican would be elected to the League and also whether it would be elected to the Council, but many people believe that the Pope would l"\g:ewish this, klls he would not like to concern; roble; v Ctholic states. S St PAPAL RELATIONS MAY FACE HOOVER AS EARLY ISSUE (Continued From First Page.) their ownership for centuries. The Taft-Vatican dealings resulted in the complete satisfaction of both the United States and the Holy See. Due com- pensation ensued, and relations between the American Governor General at Ma- | nila and the Catholic orders in the Philippines have remained cordial. Polk Held Move Essential. In his annual message on December 71, 1847, President Polk sald: “The Se retary of State has submitted an esti- mate to defray the expense of opening diplomatic relations with the Papal Etates. The interesting political events now in progress in these States, as well as a just regard to our commercial in- terests, has, in my_opinion, rendere such a measure highly expedien “interesting political events” to which President Polk referred were the conflicting movement of Mazzini and of the King Sardinia for the unifi- cation of Italy and the effort of Pius XI to introduce wise and judicious re- forms looking to the establishment of & constitutional government in his pos- sessions. ‘The “‘commercial interests” mentioned By Polk were prospective rather than Asctual. The Pope’s domain in 1847 em- braced a territory of some 16,000 square miles, extending” across mid-Italy from sea to sea. It was within that area that Polk thought “commercial interests” were going to develop and, in fact, they did so, necessitating quite a goodly num- ber of American consular officers to look after ‘them. Today the United States has neither citizens nor property of American nationals within the area of the “Vatican state” requiring that protection which is the basic reason for westablishing United States official celved witl Tep- l the matter which can be expedited by di- rect contact with the Vatican, it is the custom of the State Department to have the American embassy at Rome attend to it through the “American College.” The “American College” is the instifu- tion maintained in the Holy City by the American Catholic Church for its“own sectarian purposes. The Popes have not been willing to accord any sort of rec- ognition to American Ambassadors to Italy because the Vatican itself ac- knowledged no relations with the Ital- ian government. The Mussolini-Pius XI concordat changes that situation. Stock Traces Relations to 1797. In an article in the Catholic Histori- cal Review entitled “The United States at the Court of Pius IX,” Leo Francis Stock, Ph. D, of the Catholic Univer-| sity. at Washington, sets forth that American consuls had represented American interests at Rome and else- where in the Papal States since 1797, “but so negligible was the commerce between the countries, as reflected in the fees of that office, that the consular representatives complained again and again that they could not subsist on the income of their post.” Among the consuls to the Papal States were George W. Greene, grandson of Nathaniel Greene of Revolutionary fame, and William Dean Howells, novelist, who, though inted, never served. The general principle that was to govern the United States’ diplomatic relations with Rome was set forth terse- ly in the instructions of Secretary of State Buchanan to Jacob L. Martin, on April 1, 1848, when Martin became the first American charge d'affaires in the Papal States. They read: “There is one consideration which you ought always to keep in view in your apal States. Most if not all the governments which have diplomatic representatives at Rome are connected with the Pope as the head of the Catholic Church. In this respect the Government of the United States occupies an entirely different position. It possesses no power whatever over the question of religion. All denominations of Christians stand on the same foot- ing in this country, and every man en- joys the inestimable right of worship- ing his God according to_the dictates of his own conscience. Your efforts, therefore, will be devoted exclusively to the cultivation of the most friendly civil relations with the papal government and to the extension of commerce between the two countries. You will carefully avoid even appearance of interfer- ing in ecclesiastical questions whether these relate to the United States or any other portion of the world.” Davis Lost Plea for Confederacy. Martin was succeeded at Rome by wis Cass, jr, who served at Rome until 1858 and who, in 1854, was ele- vated to the rank of minister resident. Cass was succeeded in 1858 by John P. Stockton. In 1861 Stockton asked for his recall and Rufus King was appoint- ed to succeed him as American Minis- ter. The next Minister was Alexander W. Randall, but he soon confessed his unfitness for the position. Randall was succeeded in 1862 by Richard M. Blatchford, who remained until 1863, when Rufus King was for the second time appointed Minister to Rome. In 1863 Jefferson Davis vainly attempted to secure the Pope's recognition of the Confederate States of America. The American mission to Rome came to an end in 1867 under the ministership of King. % (Copyright, 16203 HISTORY OF RELATIONS GIVEN. U. S. Ministers to Vatican in Past Held Posts Only Short Time. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. Although it has been frequently stated that this country and the Holy See exchanged envoys prior to 1879, when temporal sovereignty passed from the popes with the unification of all the Italian states under King Victor Emmanuel, this is not accurate. The United States sent a lengthy list of Ministers to Rome, beginning with the appointment of John L. Martin of North Carolina, who arrived at the Eternal City on April 17, 1848, but who, on account of internal dissensions in Italy affecting the Vatican, had no opportunity to present his credentials to Plus IX. He contracted Roman fever and died on August 26 of the same year. The Holy See, however, did not send a diplomatic representa- tive to Washington, although several fully trained for such service, presented his papers to the Pope in January, 1849, and he remained Minister resi- dent of the United States until 1858. Mr. Cass was succeeded by John 2. Stockton of New Jersey, who remained about a year and a half and departed for home because of business troubles. Alexander W. Randall of Wisconsin was the next United States Minister to the Holy See, and he served .until August, 1862, when affairs relating to the War between the States made his presence necessary at home. President Lincoln’s Secretary of State, Mr. Seward. appointed a new Mihister at once, Richard M. Blatchford of New York, who arrived in Rome August 9, 1862, but who resigned from the service and sailed for home the following Octo- ber and entered the military service. A year later, October, 1863, Rufus King of Wisconsin, grandson of the political leader and signer of the Con- stitution from Massachusetts and many years Senator from New York, was ap- pointed Minister to the Papal States and remained at that post for almost six years, He was an accomplished diplomat, outstanding in his day, and his letters are among the most inter- esting sent to the State Department. Mr, King was the last Minister to the Vatican and departed less than a year before the fall of the Porta Pia and the triumphant entry of Garibaldl's troops. The failure of the Holy See to send an envoy to Wi n seems to have been founded on the absence of any concordat between the Republican Gov- ernment and Rome defining the rights of both on religlous and civil questions and also that the United States was re- garded as a Protestant country with slight Catholic background and limited Catholic influence. But Pius IX was considering the problem of establish- ing diplomatic relations when the storm broke which swept away his temporal power. At the present time, Catholics are approaching one-sixth of the popu- lation of the United States and the hierarchy is the most numerous in the world, containing in continental United States 14 archbishops and more than 100 bishops and this number is en- hanced by one archbishop in the Philippines and six bishops, with an- other bishop in Porto Rico and an apostolic visitor in Alaska. Property rights vested in the heads of ecclesi- astical provinces and of religious or- ders represent an enormous value and S0 is property in alien countries under direction of the missionary bodies of the Catholic Church. At all the capitals where representa- tives of the Vatican now are in resi- dence, they are clerics with the rank of monsignor, called nuncios, and they invariably are given the rank of dean of the corps, But in re-establishing its temporal power the Holy See, say ex- perienced scholars, will revert to the former policy and have laymen in its diplomatic service, especially for coun- tries like the United States, where it might prove an embarrassment to send a high prelate as Minister. Many of the exalted Roman families have main- tained their status in the Holy See, forming what has been known as the “Black” party, and these will return to their former posts in the personnel of the government which they held be- fore 1870, and largely from this ele- ment will the diplomatic and other state officials be chosen. Resident dip- lomats regard it as a foregone con- clusion that the Papal States will seek representation in Washington at the earliest moment. FOCH SHOWS GAIN. Pulse and Temperature Are Near Normal. PARIS, February 9 (#).—Both the pulse and the temperature of Marshal Ferdinand Foch had returned to ap- proximately normal this evening. Doc- tors said that the general condition of their patient was stationary. He is suffering from grippe which followed a complicated heart and kidney at- tack. Cardinal Dubols, "Archbishop of Paris, returned from Rome tonight bringing an apostolic blessing from the Pope. He said that the pontiff was very solicitous for the health of Marshal came on ngecm missions and were re- all the courtesy extended tjves of civil govern- Foch, who is a fervent churchman.

I hope, therefore, that the amendment may be adopted.” Aside from considering the reply of the Commissioners in the Burlingame- Blalock case, the Gibson committee will resume its investigation of -com- plaints against the conduct of members | of the Metropolitan police force. The committee has received a large number of such complaints, according to the | chairman, and while it will be impos- sible to inquite into all of them, those supported by reliable citizens will be investigated. The conimittee also plans to give the Police Department an op- portunity to reply. Brutality Charges Probed. ‘The major portion of the committee’s hearing yesterday was devoted to an investigation of alleged police brutality, but other phases of complaints, particu- larly those relating to gambling and liquor conditions in Washington, will be subjects of the inquiries this week. ‘Two alleged victims of police night- sticks were among the witnesses heard by the committee yesterday—William F. Carpenter, 491 H street southwest, and Alfonso Wood, colored, an employe of James B. Henderson, 1108 G street. The latter, who claimed he was assault- ed without provocation by police at- tached to the eighth precinct, displayed scars to support his story—a bulging left eye, which was partly closed; a swollen bruise on his forehead and a cut_ear. Carpenter repeated the story he told last week to Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent of police, of a police visit at his home about 10 days ago, during which he claimed he and his two sons were beaten and his wife and daufhber escaped with blackaned eyes. In fact, Carpenter declared “everybody in the house” with the exception of his young granddaughter, was Leaten. The other witnesses were Ricaard Blunt, colored, an employe of the Senate document room, who charged that the police of the fourth precinct forced their way into his house at 323 Third street southwest, January 26, last, and ransacked the place in search of liquor, but found none, and Eergt. O. J. Letterman, who is in command of the special liquor enforcement squad. Letterman was questioned about a re- cent raid in an establishment at 212 Ninth street, said to be operated by Frank McCormick, and a remark he was quoted as having made to the ef- fect that he was unable to arrest the proprietor because there was “some- thing crooked somewhere.” Letterman emphatically denied hav- ing made the statement and Jeclared that he went to the establishment in search of Harry Rockelli, an employe, and not McCormick. “I had no war- rant for McCormick dnd had no inten- tion of arresting him,” he said. Chairman Gibson slso questioned Letterman about McCormick . and he replied that he knew him as a “gam- bler,” who once operated a number of establishments, but who *now, accord- ing to his information is “broke” and has few, if any, establishments for gambling purposes. . MANY KEEP IRISH BONDS. Less Than Half of 300,000 Sub- scribers Ask for Money. NEW YORK, February 9 (#).—Less than half the 300,000 persons who sub- scribed $6,000,000 as a loan to the pro- jected blic of Ireland six years ago have filed ‘claims with receivers of the fund, and an unclaimed total of $2,500,- 000 may be distributed on a pro rata basis of abont 30 per cent. Receivers of the loan filed a report in Supreme Court today. The time limit for filing claims ex- ‘pired December 31. Of 132,806 claims received up to that time, 100,049 have been allowed, for a total of $2,547,980. About. 30,000 claims are in dispute be- cause claimants failed to prove owner- ship of bonds.

R Speaking at the twenty-second anni- | versary banquet of the Washington Chamber of Cormimerce at the May- flower Hotel, Senator Bingham de- clared that Washington should have an airport, “the model of the world,” be- cause of the thousands of persons who | come here a great portion of them come | on business connected with the Federal | Government and the Federal Govern- ment should do everything in its power to expedite their transportation. “It is only right and proper,” Sen- ator Bingham said, “that the people who come here by air should be re- ceived at the great model airport: of the world. That is what we should have here. And it is only fair that such an airport should be built and malngllned by the Federal Govern- ment.” Facilities Compared. Senator Bingham compared inade- quate airport facilities near Washinz- ton with those of other world capitals, Bourget, near Paris, where Lindbergh landed at the conclusion of his trans- atlantic flight; the great Templehof Field near Berlin and the airport near Rome. “We should have here at our National Capital an airport greater and finer than any of these,” he said, “built and maintained by the Federal Govern- ment to facilitate Government business and to expedite the business of thoss who come here on Government busi- ness. “As it is, we have nothing as yet that is not apt to be under several feet of water. We may raise it up to water level, and perhaps build on it, but we will still not have an adequate airport for a capital that will be the model of the world. Nothing will do more,” ke said, “to increase the worth and beauty of our Capital City than a great air- port. such as I propose.” Senator Bingham spoke at some length on the District’s appropriation bill as passed by the Senate yesterday and sent to conference, detailing sev- eral features of the bill. Spatz Makes Short Talk. Beside him sat Maj. Carl Spatz, com- mander of the endurance plane “Ques- tion Mark” in its transcontinental flights and in its history-making_six- day flight above California. Maj. Spatz made a short address, declaring re- fueling of airplanes in the air to be entirely practicable and not danger- ous. He said refueling was capable of wide application, and will greatly aid in development of transatlantic travel by air and transcontinental trips. One of the meritorious phases of the re- fueling operation, Maj. Spatz said, was the possibility of constructing small- sized landing flelds within city limits from which planes could take off with light gasoline loads, to take on heavier loads by the refucling process. Planes heavy loads of gasoline, he explained. William Butterworth, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, whom President Ivan C. Weld of the local chamber referred to as a “local boy,” declared that busi- ness must keep its ethics high and maintain proper standards, originate in the personnel of the con- ;teituenb bodies of the national cham- 3 Girls Present Sketch. A feature of the banquet was a sketch by a group of girls from the Marjorie Webster School of Expression setting forth the aims of the Chamber of Commerce for civic betterment, and portraying the District of Columbia as a poor walf pouring forth its woes at the feet of Congress, finally to have Congress turn a willing ear to its plea and embrace its program. Dance numbers were furnished by Elizabeth Gorman and Orme Libbey and by several other students of the ‘Webster School. A short talk on the aims of the Community Chest was made by Elwood Street, director of the chest campaign, who spoke with pride of the success of Wi in raising its quota. | Mr. Weld presided during most of the speaking program and introduced ‘Thomas W. Littlepage, who served as toastmaster. Other guests of honor, in addition to Senator Bingham, Maj. Spatz and Mr. Butterworth, included the following: Senator Arthur Capper, chairman of the Senate District com- mittes; Representative Zihiman, chair- man of the House District committee; Representative Simmons, chairman of the District subcommittee on appropri- ations; Lieut.

Asks About Bolling Field. “I have been giving some considera- tion,” sald_ Senator Bingham, “to the fact that the War Department is ask- ing for a very considerable increase in size of Bolling Field, a field which is at present used by both the War and Navy departments. I submitted informally, and tentatively, to the Assistant Sccre= tary of War for Aeronautics, a question as to whether, in case the size of that fleld were increased, it might not be possible to use a part of the fleld for commercial purposes. “I received a lengthy report from him only this morning, in which hs | stated that, after looking into the mat= ter quite fully, he believes it would be to the great disadvantage of both the military and naval services if that suz~ gestion were followed, that the inter= ests of Washington, ftom the point of view of commercial aeronautics, woul Lindsley, Thomas P.
