Next Pope May Not
Be Italian; College
Of Cardinals Differs

Rome, Italy. Feb. 1.-THE possibility
that at the next cOnclave q foreign pope
viii be elected to succeed Plus X has
never been more freely discussed than
ii Is at present This is probably due
10 the fact that q out Of the Sc cardi-
nails at present composing the sacred
college are foreigners, and that there
lore the proportion of Italian cardinals
only exceeds that Of foreigners by two.
The death of cardinal RampOlla, on
the other hand, is considered as likely
to influence the election Of the future
pope, as many foreign cardinals would
have voted in his favor while now there
is no prominent figure on which the
votes Of the foreigners could be ac-
Cumulated
It is said that the pope viii shortly
hold another consistOry and increase
the number Of Italian cardinals to such
an extent as to render the election of a
foreigner as pope unlikely. Even if the
pope created IA new cardinals, thus
bringing up the number Of cardinals to
20 the maximum or plenum of the sa-
cred college assuming that 10 of the
new cardinals will be Italians the
sacre college viii consist of 80 Italians
and 81 foreigners, so that the difference
between Italians and foreigners will be
eight If the Italians voted unitedly
in favor Of one candidate his election
viii not be possible unless at least
nine foreign cardinals voted for the
same candidate, thus contributing to
give him twO-thirds Of all the votes.

'aFhe artists who made them are prob
ably starving somewhere. Poverty
forced them to let their brain children
bear the names Of foster parents"
This statement was part of an ad-
dress on art before the Woman's
Political Union in the Berkeley theater.
The sculptor said in part: zone must
lOwtow to a certain clique, one must
get in the circle to get recognition.
Genius knocks on the door and gets no
answer but its own echo.
Il received a letter recently from a
friend of mine in Washington asking
me if I had submitted sketches for a
certain monument the government is to
have built. I replied I had not been
asked to. but 7 added that I had re-
ceived q letter from a tombstone maker
asking me my price upon certain work
of a similar kind.
'That is how America gets her art.
