Catholic youth clubs and violence by
Fascist students Is disappointing to the
Vatican.
The governments reply was delivered
yesterday by Ambassador Count de
Vecchi.
Describing Fascist attacks against
Catholic property and reflections on the
pontiff as. spontaneous outbursts" of
youth, the government expressed its re-
gret and promised that the culpritS
would be punished. The incidents were
attributed to the Fascists' belief that
their affairs we're being encroached on
by Vatican followers.
The government defended its closing
of the organizations AFFILIATED with the
Catholic Action Society by maintaining
they had violated the lateran treaty and
concordat by pursuing political pur-
pcses This constituted invasion Of in
ternal affairs, 1t was insisted, and was
directed against the Fascist govern
ment.
Work Expected to Proceed.
The Pope himself, the reply said,
had broken the terms OF the accords
in addresses which were called mani
festations." He thereby trespassed on
government functions, the reply said,
and his comments amounted to pre-
Judgment of official acts by foreign
power.
The PopeS disappointment was ex-
hibited shortly after reading the reply
when he told a group of Roman pill
grins to pray for Italy because what
happened does not entitled the country
to Gods benediction."
At any rate, both sides having
clearly stated their position, it is held
probable that negotiations leading
toward a working compromise will now
gather force. This may include a new
Interpretation of the treaty and the
concordat. Church and state both
although 1t is admitted that final
settlement will be far from easy.
It is regarded as unlikely that the
Vatican will receive any formal apology
from the government for the incidents
Of the past two weeks, since the govern
ment is said to regard the recent anti
Catholic demonstrations as unfortunate,
but inevitable in the face of the alleged
political character Of the Catholic
clubs.
Reply Being Drafted.
The Vatican's reply to yesterdays
note Is being drafted but probably will
rot be delivered Immediately. The
Marchese Pacslli, the pontiff's unoff1cial
representative In informal negotiations,
conferred with his brother, the papal
secretary of state, this morning.
Although the atmosphere has been
cleared to some extent 1t is thought
likely that further exchanges Of notes
will continue for some time.

aialio reporting what it described as
the "sacking" Of the Catholic chancery
at Priverno on June l.
This came after newspapers on both
sides had announced they. would dis.

the issues between the church and
state.
