MAY ACCEPT THE
ITALIAN FUND
Government and Holy See
Drawing Near to a
Reconciliation

ROME. July 2s.-"The Hol,
Father will officially announce the
reconciliation between ;he Holy See
and the Italian government before
the end OF the summer" is the an
nouncement made to the Interna-
ti0nal News Service by one OF the
dlgnitaries OF the vatican.
According to this authority the
latest date at which the proclama-
tion viii be made Is September 90,
the anniversary of the fall OF the
Popes temporal power In 1870. and
the chief reason for the step is the
necessity of church and state Joining
together against the bolshevist and
communist menace. The delay in the
publication Of the Pope's first en-
cyclcal is due TO this coming step.
The Pope now is fighting n hard
battle against the opposition OF the
conservative and 'lntranSigeant'
members OF the Sacred College, and
has to deal with the determined
hostility of France.
On the other hand, 10 appears
that all preliminary approaches be-
tween the Vatican and the italian
government nave succeeded without
difficulty in laying the foundations
of mutually satisfactory agree
ment. The Law OF Guarantees,
which the Holy See never officially
recognized, will undergo substan-
tial changes and the Vatican Will
