NO PRIVATE NEGOTIATIONS
 ON STATUS OF DIPLOMATS
Accredited to Vatican in Case Italy Decides to Enter
 War.

Rome. March 29, 10:35 D. m., Via Paris, March 30, 5:10 a. m.-The Giornale D'Italia says it considers futile the discussion regarding alleged private negotiations between the Vat 1can and the Italian government con corning the status of diplomats ac- credited to the Holy Sea in case Italy joins the war.
 The paper quotes the law govern ing the prerogative of the Pope and the diplomats accredited to him, to- gether with the debate in parliam ent when the bill was passed, to prove that it was designed to cover only times of peace.
 The prudence of the men, ruling Italy and those residing at the Vat ican, the Giornale D'Jtalia says, ren- ders super11uous any discussion.
 In times of war, it declares, the Italian government would not hes itate to, remove hostile ambassadors accredited even to the Vatican, with out, however, attempting to interfere With the independence of the Pom tiff, while the Vatican certainly would not create difficulties for Italy in time of war.
