CLUB
WOULD DRAW
COLOR LINE

The color lire may be drawn by
the ngressional. club, composed
OF the wives of Senators and Repre-.
sentatives.
An entirely new method of choos-
ing members of he club. permitting
the use of the biackball, is under
consideration and viii be voted upon
February s.
Up to the present time. the wife
Of a member of Congress became
automatically eligible for member
ship in the organization. In the
future, however. things may be
different. although there is a sharp
division of sentiment in the club
as to the policy TO be pushed.
The issue has been forced by the
election of OSCAR De Priest. wealthy
Chicago colored man. to the House
last November, as the successor OF
the late Martin b. Madden. There
apparently is strong feeling
among certain club members thai
his wife and other immediate mem
berg of his family should not be
admitted TO the organization.
Mrs. Albert Fl. Nestal. wife OF
Representative Vestal Of Indiana. is
the sponsor Of an amendment to the
club rules which would permit the
rejection OF an application for mem
berships It also provides that every
applicant shall have the indorse-
ment of one or more active mem
bers OF the club. The application
then must be approved by the
executive committee There is no
appeal from the decision of the
committee, the amendment provides.

VIGOROUS
FOREIGN
POLICY
SEEN
nv GUGI.IELMO EMANUEL.

BY GUGlIELAlO EMANUEL
ROME, ian. Is Q.N.Sl-- Although
the proposed new Papai state will
lie within Rome--the seat OF the
Italian government--Italy will have
an ambassador accredited to the
Holy See just as though it were a
distant power. it was learned today.
This envoy will look after Italy
interests, especially in ecclesiastical
affairs. 1t is expected that Spain.
France. England and Germany will
be among the countries appointing
ENJOYS to the new Papal state, 1t
Is not known if the United States
will do so. There is PapaI nuncio
stationed in Washington
Vigorous Foreign Policy
It is expected the settlement of
the long standing dispute between
the Catholic Church and the Italian
state which appears imminent will
1 be followed by an aggressive diplo-
matte policy. The Catholic Church
has been subjected to drastic treat
ment by Soviet Russia and Mexico.
The problem OF customs and ex.
else taxes in the new state has been
settled easily. Their collection will
be left to the Italian government by
the Vatican.
The Vatican is going to benefit
~ financial way. Italy will pay
into the Vatican Golfers about
loco, 600 900 lire, it is understood.
This would be about $50, 100000 in
United States money. It is spoken
of as an Indemnity"
1t represents the annual nay.
ments of 3.22j,000 lire which the
italian Parliament voted in 1871 to
pay annually to the Pope. The
difference is made up by the &c.
cumulated interest. Neither prfftci-
pal nor interest ever was collected
by the Pontiff
Gains For Italy
The benefits Italy will get from
the settlement are chiefly moral 1t
will remove certain friction and
will silence those who might be
tempted to say that the Italian state
was treating the church unfairly.
There will be diplomatic advan-
tage. also. Italy will be placed in
the same category as the other
Catholic nations in dealing with
the Vatican
Up to the present. time France
has claimed privileges for her Catho-
lie missionaries in the East Italy
was prevented from seeking the
same privileges because the Italian
state had no diplomatic representa-.
ton at the Vatican.
Achievement for MussOlini
1t is fact, however, that, while
the relations between the state and
church were officially broken,
thew were in reality excellent.
Settlement of the dispute, which
has kept the Pope a prisoner in the
Vatican since 1870. will be a big
achievement for the Fascist govern
ment of Premier MussoIini. Pre-
viously the negotiations broke down
without any appreciable progress
