ENGLAND SENDS AN
ENVOY TO ROME;
TEMPORARY
Believed to Be Opening Wedge for
Appointment of Permanent Am
bassador from Great Britain to the
Vatican.

LONDON, Dec. 5.-The new pope,
Benedict XIV, made no formal an
nouncement of policy when he assum-
ed the triple crown of st. Peter last
September. But as he had been the
devoted pupil of Cardinal Rampolla,
the secretary of state OF Leo XIII.
for twenty-five years, it was assum-
led that the Vatican under Benedict
XIV would return to the political
ideas and aspirations of RampoIla.
The appointment of Sir Henry Ho-
ward as envoy from Great Britain to
the Holy See is the first indication
of the papaI policy and a signal d.
+plomatic victory for the pope. To
bring about the establishment of di-
cect relations between England and
the Vatican was what the 3rd Rampola
labored for increasingly from the day
he entered office until he left it when
the late pope. Plus x, was elected and
tool, Cardinal Merry del Val to be his
secretary of state.
England has been the great foe of
political Roman Catholic doctrines
since the days of Henry VIII and
Queen Elizabeth and the establish
ment of the English Protestant
church; and although the English
sovereign maintained representa-
tive in Rome as long as the pope was
sovereign there-which was until
1STO-the relation was broken off as
soon as king of italy assumed the
throne
All of the nations of Europe which
were Catholics Austria, France,
Portugal and Spain continued for
the time being an ambassador at the
Vatican, while sending another one
TO the Quirinal. Germany, being
Protestant and Catholic, was finally
induced by the Vatican to maintain
also the two ambassadors. But Eng
land held out. The government
knowing the strong anti-Catholic
sentiment in the country, could not
be persuaded to brook the storm of
disapproval such move would
cause.
Sir Henry Edwards appointment
is announced as being only temper
ery/ to congratulate the new pope
npon his accession, and then to re-
main in Rome. during the progress
of the war. But it seems to be gen.
orally accepted as an opening wedge
for the appointment of a permanent
from Great Britain to
the Vatican.

pound, ard that the business risk in
volved in making heavy purcha les at
that price is never greal.
a /, ontn or two ago the seizures Of
copper LS British naval vessels were
,xerting a depressing infuoLce upon
the market price. No they have
cea sed to have that effect. Copper
eanc:ts for the month of October, ac-
-orfine IL custo II huuse returns,
amounted to 55,980,643 pounds. III
addition to this there were about g.,
coo, 900 pounds exported in manufac-
tured shapes. 1t is probable that the
November movement was smaller.
There was a decrease of nearly 2,O00,-
900 pounds in the visible supplies in
England and France last month.
If confidence is sufficiently restor-
ed and financial conditions SO adjust
ed as to make possible a resumption
of industrial financing early next
year, the first new work done un-
doubtedly will be along the line of
electrical installations. 1t is probable
therefore, that copper producers will
be among the first to benefit after
trade resumes its normal volume and
again seeks its customary channels.
There is every reason to expect that
the price of copper will continue to
advance until it reaches IA or IS
cent level. The producing companies
cannot afford to sell heavily at pres
ent quotations and, producing at only
half capacity. they are mot obliged to
sell. Confidence is gradually return
ing in business as well as in financial
circles. The volume Of industrial
activity is about to begin material
increase. Domestic consumption OF
copper should soon be materially
larger, and the indications are that
the export demand will grow also.
Consumers no longer have any reason
to anticipate that they will get the
metal cheaper by waiting.
