THE TAFT COMMISSION.
Doubt Expressed In Vatican Circles - 70
Whether the Pope win Give an ON
clal Reception to It

Rome, May 23.-Doubt ID felt in
vatican circles as to whether the
pope, after all, will give an official
reception to the Taft commission.
Official notification Of the arrival OF
the commission here at the end OF
May now has been received at the
United States embassy and has
caused disappointment at the vati-
can, as it specifically eliminates all
the political aspects sought to be
attached to the commission and sets
forth that the commission must not
in any way be regarded as an Ameri-
can recognition Of the vatican's pol
fey towards Italy and points out that
the commission is Of purely busi-
ness character and in no way con-
nected with politics. d.. 81
