Martin of North Carolina, appointed Charge d'Affaires in 1848. Lewis Cass ' of Massachusetts was appointed Min- ister resident in 1854, and this country | continued to be represented officially at the Holy See until 1863. The last Minister resident was Rufus King of Wisconsin. The title of these diplomatic offi- cers was “Minister resident to the Pontifical State” or “Minister resident to the Papal States.” the Papal States included a number of prosperous cities which today are a part of the Italian Kingdom. But. it is pointed out in responsible quarters, recognition of a state does not depend om its size, but on its | importance. As long as the Pope was deprived by the Italian govern- ment of his temporal powers there At that time was no reason to have & representa- tive at the Vatican. Prom the time. however, that the Pope became once more a sovereign with jurisdiction over a territorial area, from the in- ternational law point of view he is entitled to have fuli-fledged, accred- ited representatives. like any other head of an independent state. It is probable, it ia stated in well- informed quarters. that Cardinal Pa- celli will go into the matter of Father Coughlin. but that alone does not justify his trip to the United States. Neither do cardinals-secretary of state travel the long way from Italy to the United States just because they have a few weeks' vacation. Among the strategists of the Demo- cratic party it is believed that & move toward eventual recognition of the | Vatican could have no ill effeci on the ! electoral vote.

After changing from the pre-series odds of 11 to 20, with the Yankees favorite, at 4 to 5, and take your choice, after Wednesday's battle, they again about-faced. Jack Doyle, Broad- way commissioner, posted the Yankees at 8 to 10 and the Giants at 9-10 today. ‘The unscheduled day off. necessi- tated by the mud and rain that made a mess of the playing field, not onlv aided the Giants® pitching plans. but gave Terry's ailing knee an extra day’s rest.

The National Scene BY ALICE ROOSEVELT LONGWORTH. Communist eandidate for Terre Haute, Ind., seems G REENWICH, Conn., October 2—The arrest of Mr. Browder, the President, by the chief of police of slightly overzeaious. As long as Mr. Browder refraine from ineiting to acts of violence, advocating overthrow of the Government. by foree, he has the right to preach his doctrines regard- less of how repugnant they are to us. Mr. Roosevelt's repudiation of “the support of ad- vocates of communism or any other alien ‘ism doesn’t warrant the arrest on a charge of va- grancy of any candidete for President, no matter how obscure or negligible he may bde. The Communist party has few members in the United States. Those who would like to see a change in our form of Government don't have to look any further than the New Deal to find sign posts pointing to any sort of change they " " may desire. ‘The surest way to increase Mr . Browder's following is to make & martyr of him. Ordinary common sense says “let him have his radio soap box.” (Copyright, 1934.) ’
