Note New Attitude
of Italian Govt.
and Vatican in Rome

washington. Jan. 23-(By A. P)-
Those who remember the struggle
between the church and the state in
italy after the fall of the Temporal
power In 1870 commented here today
upon the that for the purpose OF
expressing condolences on the death
OF Pope Benedict three cabinet min
listers Of the King of Italy. who took
the oath of allegiance to the house
of SAVIOR. have for the first time Of
ficiaily entered the Vatican.
One of the Vatican forms OF pro-
test against the occupation of Rome
was the prohibiting of all Catholics
20 vote or 10 be elected to political
or administrative Offices. but TINS
gradually fell into disuse and finally
the ban was raised by Plus x. Bene-

pressed the important form OF pro-
test by the Vatican after 1870. by
which no Catholic sovereign or ruler
was allowed to 60 TO Rome as guest
of the King OF Italy under penalty OF
being communicated. This hao
prevented visits to Rome by En-
poror Francis Joseph of Austria and
by King Don Carlos of Portugal.
President Loubett of France was the
cnlv ruler who disregarded the papal
prohibition and Plus X. as result.

French. BENEDICT, however. abolish
cd this form OF protest and King AL
bert Of Relgium was about to go to
Rome when the Popewastaken Ill.
The only form Of tangible protest on
the part of the Vatican now remain
ing is that Of the voluntary fmpris-
onrrcnt Of the Pope in the Apostolic
palace.
Yet Improvement In the relations
between the church and the state has
been slow and for this reason some
people believe Cardinal Mafi. arch
bIshop Of Piza, who has on several
occasions shown an ardent desire
that complete understanding
should he reached between the church
rnd the state. will not be elected
ponr nj the conclave next month.
Cardinals Laai and Boggiani are
regarded in well informed circles
hero as being too favorable to in
tcnsifving the ancient struggle and.
therefore. are considered as i'm
probable selections. The chances are
also said TO be against Cardinal
Gasparrl. because he has been papal
secretary OF state and against Cardi-
nal Merry Del Val because he Is not
nm Italian. II is therefore hedr here
that the next Pope perhaps will be
one not prominently mentioned
among the cardinals today.

subject the japanese and Chinese
virtually completed an agreement on
all Of the issues involved except the
central question Of the Tsingtao-
Tsinanfu railroad. and there were
signs of impending developments re-
garding that. Ma 500, Washington
representative of the un-recognized
Chinese government of Canton, an
nounced that railroad settlement
already had been reached.
In, connection with the Japanese
statement regarding Siberia, it was
revealed that the American govern
ment had addressed a communica-
ton on that subject to Toxic shortly
before the arms conference and that
Japanese foreign officers had replied
virtually in the same terms laid down
at today's committee meeting by
Baron Shidehara. The exact purport
Of the American note was not dis
closed, btu it was said to have point
ed out that the American forces hav-
ing been withdraw from Siberia
there was much specu alton as to
why the japanese troops remained.
American spokesmen would not
discuss the subject tonight in ad-
vance of the formal statement of
view to be made at tomorrow's COM
mittee meeting. but it was learned
that the American government was
deeply impressed with the japanese
statement and was disposed to regard
. it as a solemn pledge behind which
the conference could not properly go.
The Chinese declined to reveal their
attitude toward the japanese policy
and the only note of criticism came
from outside the conference. in a
statement issued by the delegation
sent to Washington by the unrecog-
nized republic of Chita. Siberia
Japanese promise of withdrawal from
Siberian soil, the statement declared,
had been a Chronic statement" of
the Toxic government since August
1920.
Ma Soo's announcement of a rail-
road settlement was coupled with a
declaration that the Chinese and
japanese delegates were helding pro-
mitigation of the agreement in ahey-
ancc to gain the dramatic effect of a
last minute approachment. The ac-
copied terms he said, provided for
payment for the road by China in in
stallments over a period of twelve
years but with the option of making
full payment if desired within three
years. China also had agreed, he de-
clared to appointment of a japanese
traf1c manager and Japanese ac-
countant for the line.
Heretofore the Japanese have
sought to float Japanese loan a
part of the purchase which the Chin
csc have proposed to buy the road
outright or on a deferred payment
plan. Hope of a settlement has re-
volved about the formulas suggested
by Secretary Hughes and Arthur ],
Balfour in the exercise of their good
offices" and it seemed likely tonight
still further friendly influence would
be brought to bear soon. Not only
the twenty-one demands, but other
issues of the conference are regarded
by many delegates as hesitating tc
soc what will be the outcome of the
