Rumors From America.
Stories originating In america have
reached Rome to the effect that Cardi-
nal Satolli was TO confer with officials
Of the American Government with re-
gard 20 the establishment of a regular
nuncIature at Washington. and in Rome
are looked upon as absurd. II is by
this time well known in Rome that no
official recognition Of the Papal envoy,
equal to that extended TO representa-
tives Of foreign nations. could be given
by the American Government.
Efforts In that direction were made
under the late Pope. but they were
abandoned when 1t was learned that
such diplomatic recognition would be
out of the question. Rome will con-
tinue 10 send an apostolic delegate 70
America. but will not ask that he be

| Corps.

to send representatives to many more

past. II was formerly a tradition in
the diplomatic history Of the church
/ that Pa2ai representatives. should be
sent only TO Catholic countries. But
/ II has now been settled as a principle
that apostolic delegates shall represent
the Pope among the Catholic clergy
the official religion of the nations.
