remark Of Cardinal Parocchi at banquet in
Rome Tuesday, that If the pope should find
il necessary 10 leave Europe at some future
day be would receive AN honorable hospitality
from the American bishops, Cardinal Glib

"there was scarcely any foundation for the
statement 50 often made that the pope would
