ton to acquire more subjects" was
assigned today as back Of last min
ute action of Pope Plus by which he
deprived himself and the vatican Of
territory the italian government was
willing to cede.
The Italo-Vatican treaties were
ready for approval, it is revealed,
when His Holiness. with one stroke
Of a red pencil, cut off from vatican
territory that part Of the land on the
left OF papal state looking toward
st. Peters which would have includ-
ed the buildings of the holy office
and the oratory Of St. Peter.
The pontiff explained that If he
acquired these grounds he would
gain new subjects" and he wished
to do everything possible to avoid
that status. He reiterated that he
had not been inspired by any desire
for territory or purely temporal
power in making the treaty.
He said If he accepted the two
pieces of land he would have to al
low there many families. including
numerous children from around the
vatican, possibly several hundred in
all.
The new vatican boundary is lin
tied by the arches leading into the
square of St. Peters SO that the most
valuable property adjoining it is
that which is on the left side as one
goes up to the vatican gardens.
There is a triangular plot there
which would be highly suitable for
building purposes and which. it has
been indicated, may some time pro-
vide home for ambassadors to the
vatican.

ton ls Whether Germany or
France Proposes First

Paris, Feb. l0.-(R)-The sub-com.
mittee appointed by the reparations
commission to find q method Of pro-
cedure for the future work Of the ex.
perts has run into snag and conse-
quently, has been enlarged and told
to try again.
When the committee, which con-
sisted Of Sir Josiah Stamp, Of Great
Britain, and Or. Hjalmar Schacht.
president Of the German Reichsbank.
reported this morning, they said that
they had failed to find q mutually
acceptable procedure. The full COM
mittee then appointed three more
members and these five went into
session this afternoon to see what
they could do.
The newly-appointed members were
Jean v. Parmentier, OF France, Pro-
lessor Switch, Of Italy, and M. Gut,
Of Belgium.
The procedure which the sub-com-
mittee was asked to determine was
to enable both the debtor and credi-
tors in the reparations account to
submit an offer and put In claims
that might form the groundwork OF
the main committees further deliber.
ations.
The American members of the COM
mittec apparently are taking an eff
faced, impartial and independent at
titude In the reparations problem
since they were not included even In
the second sub committee.
The point at issue seems to be:
Who will speak up first?
Will the Germans. following their
presentation of the economic situa-
ton in Germany, say: I'VE can pay
only so much and only so fast?" OF
will Germany's creditors state the
minimum sums with which they
would be satisfied in liquidation Of
reparations?
