Vatican Awaits Recall
ROME. July 3I.-The papal nuncio at
Madrid, Monseigneur vico, has not been
recalled by the Vatican, which is await
ing the Official announcement of the
recall by the Spanish government of
Marquis de Ojeda. ambassador to the
Vatican. The situation with regard to
the rupture with Spain therefore re-
mains unchanged for the time being.
The Vatican is greatly offended at
the methods adopted by Premier Cana
lejas in the recall of the Spanish am
bassador, as the announcement was
made through the press and neither the
pspal nuncio at Madrid nor the Vatican
was notified directly. As consequence
the papal secretary of state, Cardinal
Merry del Val, has not been able to
take any measure of retaliation, but it
is belieFed that Aonseigneur Vico viii
be instructed TO leave Madrid immedi-
stely after the official announcement
OF marquis de Ojeda's recall is received
here.
The opinion is held in some circles,
however, that the Vatican will give
further proof Of tolerance by permit
ting the papal nuHcio to remain at
Madrid, notwithstanding the with
drswsI of the Spanish ambassador, as
was the case when the French govern
lnent ordered the Frerch ambassador at
the Vatican to return TO Paris On that
occasion the papal nuncio, Monseigneur
Lorenzelli, remained in Paris until dip
lomstie relations were completely
broken off, ane there ara some who
still hope that the recall of marquis
de Ojeda is merely temporary, his abb
sence from Rome assuming the nature
Of a simple vacation and that he will
return when an agreement has been
reached.
