render vacant some OF the most i'm
portant palaces In Rome which now
belong to the papacy. such as the Can
celleria, built from Bramante's de-
signs, and the Dateria. on the slope of
the Ourinal Hill. These would be
turned over to the italian government
for sum to be mutually agreed upon.
One of the most difficult matters To
be arranged Is what would happen to
certain roads which cross what would
be the new Vatican territory and cam
not be dispensed with, such as the
Aurelia road, the Roman way leading
to Civita Vcccha. Pisa and the north
of Italy. Another difficulty is repre-
sented by the railway from Rome to
Vitcrbo which also would cross - It Of

Wants American Opinion.
1t Is understood that the Pope, be-
fore going further in the discussion con-
cerning the solution Of the Roman
question" desires to examine personally
the precise impression which the pour
parlers between church and state In
Italy have produced in the various
countries. Above all. he was anxious
to hear what the clergy and faithful
Of the United States think, since Amer

garding the Vatican finances, her con-
tributionS exceed those OF the whole OF
Europe. The Pontiff was therefore very
glad to hear on the subject fiom Mgr.

!. The italian state grants to the
holy see an extension of its territory,
which will enjoy the right of extra
| territoriality as it has been enjoyed by
the apostolic palaces and the Vatican
gardens since 1870. The new terri
tory to be added is on the southeast
OF the Vatican gardens and includes

cupied In 1849 by Garibald's Repub-
lican troops against the Republican
troops of France, the former fighting
to keep the Pope out of Rome--he fled
on the proclamation Of the Roman Re-
| public--and the latter to bring him
| back and reinstate him as absolute

the late Prince Doria to the Russian
Prince Abamcleck, whose widow still

an indemnity for the loss sustained by

temporal power In addition to the pay

| law of guarantecs--paSSed by the Ital-
ian government on May 13, 1871-for
the upkeep of the government OF the
church. Hitherto the Pontiff has re-
fused this allowance of 1926. 900 gold
liras yearly, and the total amount now
if held to be due, would at the present
rate of exchange, with compound inter-

From these publications 1t appears
that what the Vatican asks is that the
position OF the Pope in Rome shoulC
be one OF "libery and independence. not
only real and perfect, but also manifest

The Italian government, on the othcl
hand, stated that "the question, thu

The steady increase during the past
