POPE YEARNS FOR

AN ANCIENT CUSTOM

Instead, the automobile only in.

Pope's existence. The only use he
could make OF the car. was to drive
at a snail's pace around Belvedere
court. within the Vatican grounds.
The Pope's longing for healthy
exercise will soon take shape in a
papal edict breaking; the Vatican
chains and restoring to the holy
prisoner the liberty Popes enjoyed
hundreds Of years ago. says a Paris
weekly, usually well informed.
According to this paper, his
holiness Is preparing ukase
stating that for reasons Of health
he intends abandoning xhe sedcn.
tary life Of the closed Vatican and
will henceforth consider himself as
free to travel about Italy an when
he was a cardinal. \
Considerable opposition to this
edict Is anticipated from the car.
dinal body. but the Pope is stated
to have already secured many ad-
herents to his plans. including
Merry del Val and other officials
Of the Vatican, and the Vatican

The chief functions Of the
league rest in the hands OF it's
council; and. as everyone knows,
the nations belonging to the league
are not equally represented in that
council. That body is merely q
governmental organ whose policy
has so far been made to subserve
exclusively the interests of three
victorious powers.
CONSTITUTION THE THING.
Consequently, am inclined to
consider the constitution Of the
league council, the main thing TO
be considered by Germany in join
ing that organization. I believe II
utterly impossible for this country
to Join a body so completely com.
mitted as II Is to enforcing the
Versailles treaty until we have
some means Of making our opin.
ions felt In the governing council
Of the league.
Unless the present constitution
Of the league is radically reform.
ed, Germany can become q mem.
ber only under the express con.
dition that she be granted a seat
= and a vote in the governing coun-
Gil. No question Of prestige Ia in
volved in Germany's claim to be
counted among the great Euro.
pean powers.
Unless we had a member in. the
council our participation would be
limited to sending delegation
each year to the league assembly.
to contributing considerable an
nual sum for the leagues support,
and to sanctioaing tacitly all the
acts Of the league, including the
enforcement of those provisions
Of the Versailles treaty that We re-
gard as unjust and contrary to
international law.
II our admission Is designed
merely to rivet the Versailles
treaty more firmly upon us than
ever. then further discussion is
useless. But possibly the time will
come when France will recognize
that strengthening and broadening
the league will serve her interests
better than running Germany, and
when our demand to be admitted
to that body as an equal with the
other great powers will be grant.

German government take the re.
