THE election OF the Archbishop of
Milan a few months after his eleva-
ton TO the cardinaiate is similar 10 tho
election OF Benedict XIV a short time
after his reception OF the red hat.
Pope Benedict's election was clearly a
special providence, and no doubt the
same will be found true OF Plus XI.
He is conspicuous for his intellectli-
ality and learning. He has had ex-
perience in diplomacy. and the Holy
See chose him for its first nuncio TO
the newly liberated and united Polish
nation.
"It was a position which required
exceptional intelligence. tact and
prudence. II required man of ex-
ceptional qualities to nj the vacancy
at Milan caused by the death of Car
dinal Ferrari. The Holy See once
more showed its esteem of Monsignor
Ratti in selecting him as Cardinal
Ferraris successor.
'The new Pope has had experience
in professional, pastoral and diplo-
matte careers. He is at the zenith
OF his life and strength. He is admir-
ably fitted for his new post. The
Catholic world halls with delight his
elevation, and none more than his
American children.
