TALK I'M POLITICAL CIRCLES
HERE loFs REsuM'Ne RELA-
sTIoNs WITH HOLY FATHER.
(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)

(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)
The question of the resumption of
relations between the United States
and the Vatican has reached such a
point that, it may be accurately said
that it is under very serious considera-
ton by political leaders who will be
conspicuous in the activities of the
next administration. 1t is still too
early to predict what may or may not
be done. There are many very serious
problems to be weighed carefully from
a political viewpoint. Nevertheless,
the subject is more in the minds of
those who will have voice in the di-
rection of national affairs than it has
been since formal relations with the
Vatican ceased many years ago.
The action of various countries of
Europe in appointing official repre-
sentatives to the Vatican has had the
effect of removing many of the mis-
understandings that have hitherto eX-
listed in relation to the question.
The initial move has been made by
those who not only have nothing to do
with ecclesiastical affairs but are not
even Catholics. 1t has been pointed
out that if relations are to be estab-
lished with the Vatican, it must be
done purely as political move. There
is very little doubt that if it should be
decided upon, the Apostolic Delegate,
as the religious representative of the
Pope in his relations with the Church
in America, would continue to exercise
his functions as at present. The &C
tivities of a nuncio would lie in an
entirely different field.

VATICAN AND BRITAIN
ENGLAND'S DECISION TO KEEP
EMBASSY At THE VATICAN
PROTESTANT oPPos TioN
FADES.
(By N. C. w. C. News Service

(By N. c. w. c. News Service.)
The statement, of Premier Lloyd
George in the House Of Commons, that
the British government has decided to
maintain it's diplomatic representation
at the Vatican, is expected to put a
stop to the Protestant nagging that
has gone on over this matter both
within and without parliamentary cir
cles,
The question as to whether the gov
eminent would continue the Vatican
legation has frequently been raised in
Parliament during the past two years,
and Protestant intrigue sought, to
bring the Mission to close on the
ground that it was purely a war ex
pedient
Hitherto the only answer the gov,
eminent has given to all these quer
les was that the matter was under con
sultation with the Dominion govern
ments. Now that the Prime Minister
has definitely stated that the Mission
| is to be retained, and that its reten
ton is not only to the national bene
fit but also not in opposition to the
national mind, it may not unfairly be
assumed that it is also the opinion
Of the Dominion governments thai
Great Britain and the British Empire
should be automatically represented
at the Holy See.
The Protestant opposition to the
Vatican legation has been, for the
most part, political and not religious
indeed, the whole history of Protes
tantism in that country has been polit
zeal. The nearest approach to relig
ious objection to the Vatican Legation
occurred in the year 1918, when Ger
tain section of English Professionalism
solemnly assured the country that thu
setback of the Allied armies in the
early spring of that year was due tt
Divine displeasure at Protestant Brit
ain maintaining an envoy at the Papa
Court But this is the nearest relig
ions objection the Protestants hay'
managed to bring against the Mission
