HOLY SEE MUST
BE STATE WITH
NO GOVERNMENT

ROME, March 3 (P-Pope Plus the
Eleventh is reported to have said,
"the territory granted to the Holy
See must be state without sub
jects," in speaking of the possible
solution of the Roman question, "
for which negotiations, with evident
good will on both sides, are in prog
reSs.
The Italian government, to comply
with the Pontiff's desire, is willing
to diSplace the ancient Aurelia road
and the railway line from Viterbo to
Rome, both of which cross the terri
tory to be ceded to the Holy See,
making them pass outside it. This
arrangement will suppress the present
railway station of st. Peter. For the
same purpose all the houses recently
built on this territory would be ex-
propriated.
The wish of Pope Plus XI to have
no subjects in his enlarged territory
is prompted by the unwillingness OF
the vatican to burden itself with the
governmental machinery necessary
even for a small temporal state, such
as police, law courts, prisons, postal
and telegraph service and banks. 1t
seems difficult to reconcile this at
titude of the pope with the other
desire attributed to him, that the
residences of the 33 embassies and
legations accredited to the Holy See,
together with those of the cardinals
of Curia, and if not all, at least the
most important of the congregations,
should be on papal territory.
The cardinals of Curia are those
living in Rome, about 25 in number,
while the congregations correspond
to the department of a civil govern
ment. To carry out such a plan
would involve the residence on ponti-
fical ground of several thousand per-
sons who would require several thou
sand more as servants, artizanS,
tradeSpeople, doctors and nurses.
These would form small city, re-
quiring all the services of public util-
ity, which is what the pope wishes
to avoid.
AS solution of these difficulties it
is pointed out that the vatican, dur
ing the So years which have elapsed
S1llCG UIlG 1t11 VI Cl1G UCIIlpOId1 pOWSIJ
has contained a population varying
from 100 to 300 persons, for whom
it has not been necessary to establish
complicated bureaucratic organiza
ton of their own, with the exception
of small fire brigade, a first aid
station, and limited number of gen.
darmes taken from ex-carabineers of
Italy, and employed only for urgent
police duty.
Cardinal Bourne, archbishop of
Westminster, has stated that "the
presence within the kingdom of Italy
itself of the independent republic OF
San Marino, the existence of the SOW
ereign principality of Monaco in the
republic of France and the free state
of Andorra, surrounded on every side
by the Jurisdiction of other states,
who show how easily with a little
goodwill, the civil independence OF
the Holy See might be adequately
secured without detracting in any
way from the essential unity Of the
kingdom of Italy"

UTAH COMMITTEE
MAKES REPORT
ON COLO. RIVER

SALT LAKE CITY, March 3 P1-
Utah should not stand in the way of
development of the Colorado river by
the lower basin states, it was contend
ed in a report issued today by joint
committee of investigation on the Colo
rado river problem appointed by the
engineering council of Ut3h and the
Utah State. Bar association.
A two months investigation of the
economic, legal and engineering as
poets of the river question was summed
up in the report according to Richard
w. Young, chairman of the joint com
mittee.
Utah's best interests at present lie
in passage of the Swing johnson
Boulder dam bill, the report said.
pointing cut that sufficient protection
for the upper basin states was incor-
porated in the bill The report said
delay in passage of the Swing johnson
bill or similar legislation might result
in California tying up the resources of
the river "as she is in Ia strategic posi-
ton on the river to utilize its waters
forN irrigation, power and municipal
purposes, and this might be done with
no guarantee that the rights of the up
per basin states would be protected
until they are in a position to utilize
their share of the river
The report is considered as making
a Stind in direct opposition to that Of
Governor Dern of Utah and the Utah
congressional delegation, all of whom
have stood for ratification by all seven
Colorado river states of past assuring
equitable distribution of the Water re-
sources of the river, before passage of
any river legislation.
Chairman Young declared, however
that with ratification of the Santa Fe
compact, even by only six states, Utah's
rights are protected, in spite of some
current opinion to the contAary. I'm
der the agreement, California becomes
bound to protect the rights of Utah
and other upper states, he said.
Arizona's adherence to the river pact
is not essential to the protection OF
Utah's interests, Young said, pointing
out that with but 275,00O acres that
may be developed by the Colorado, the
border state could not lay claim to an
amount Of water comparable to that
of California with more than a mil
lion acres awaiting construction of q
dam for its development.
Danger of delay in ratifying some
compact that would insure protection
on the river was pointed out due to
the possibility that the river may be
re-opened for power filings after
March 5, 1929, and that such reopen
ing would be followed by acquisition,
under the law of prior appropriation
of rights in the lower basin.
Among conclusions reached by the
committee were:
l. That the states should own land
control the public waters.
q Provisions should be made that
developments on the river should
eventually come under state control.
3. Utah should become a party to
the Santa Fe compact regardless of
the number of states ratifying.

one day during the beginning Of

there was strong runor circulated
ito the effect that our beloved cadet

unheard-Of thing for the cadets OF
Kelly to stand formations. We had
graduated from that when we left
Brooks, and the thought Of cOnsinu-

order; Army training banishes even

Wesmight prevent that order from
being given. The cadet captain and

private room together. The rest Of
us were given cots in the barracks.
