postponing the conclave TO permit thu
American Cardinals to attend, the Sec
rtary replied that the constitution
would have to be amended for that pur-
pose. as the conclave must be called
within ten days after the death of the
Pope.

Want United States Represented
There seems to be genuine desire
in Vatican circles that the United States
be represented.
The reception at the Vatican of an
Italian Cabinet Minister last Saturday
and the half masting of the flag ON the
Quirinal in mourning for the Pope are
commented upon at length by both the
press and public. There are many ex
pressions favoring arr~agreement between
the Government and the Vatican and
these two events are being pointed to
as significant of such a possibility.
While there seems TO be no doubt
that the next Pope will be an Italian,
the newspapers draw a distinction be-
tween Italian Popes, expressing the
hope that the next pontiff may be one
who will put an end to the long diScord
between the Church and the Italian
Government.
Seemingly for that reason Cardinal
Maffi. Archbishop of Pisa, is universally
favored by the Italians. judging from
the comment, and in virtually all the
newspapers his name appears at the
head OF the list for the tiara of st.
Peter.
