FRENCH CABINET READY
TO ATTACK THE VATICAN.

Rome. Oct. l6--The Observatory Ro-
mano today published semi-ofIical ar
ticle saying that the French cabinet Is
preparing to attack the vatican at the
re-opening Of the chambers by accusing
1t of engaging In conspiracy with the
monarchists TO overthrow the republic
and giving the following statements as
proof of It's charges:
That the royallst press. which OPP
posed the late Pope Leo III. approves
Of Pope Plus Y.
THAT the royalist leaders urge the
pope to support the religious move
ment in France.
That the pope granted an interview
to the royalist organ, the Gaulois."
The Observatore Romano answers
these allegations by stating that Pope
Plus, like Pope Leo, loyalty accepts the
republic, which the former has repeat
edly affirmed, confirming his statement
I'm his recent encyclical on the church
and state separation law, and chal-
lenges anybody TO quote a word ut
tered by the pope or to adduce a fact
showing the pontiff as an enemy OF the
republic.
The proofs to be referred to by the
French government, the Obseryatore
Romano adds, are not serious. The
royallsts support the pope either as
good Catholics or for political aims In
the latter case 1t is not the vatlcans
fault. "the responsibility resting upon
the republic and resulting from the
anti-reiigious measures adopted in OPP
posing the church under the guse OF
carrying out republican ideals"
