teen Years.

ROME, August 20.-Pope Benedict in
receiving Minister Regout, who pre-
sented his credentials as Dutch envoy
accredited to the holy see, expressed
the hope that the decision of the Dutch
government again to be represented at
the Vatican, after the lapse of fifteen
years, might constitute an important
factor in the near future in events
leading to the pacificatiop of Europe.
These words are interpreted here as
confirming the view that the Dutch
legation to the papacy was instituted
principally to allow Holland to follow
and support papal initiatives in favor
of peace, and also to enable the Dutch
government to invite the pontiff to the
peace conference at the close of the
war. in case it should be held at The
Hague. -
