VATICAN AND REICH
RAT|FY CONCORDAT
Ends Rumors of Difficulties
Between Germany and
Holy See.
By the Associated Press.

VATICAN CITY. September IL
Ratifications of a concordat between
Germany and the Holy See were ex-
changed yesterday by Cardinal Pacelli
papal secretary of state, and DR. Eugene
Won Klee, counselor in the German en-
bassy at Vatican City, it was announced
today
Following a cabinet meeting in Ber-
lin Saturday, the final text of the pact
was sent to Rome by airplane and ar
rived yesterday morning after forced
landing in northern Italy.
After receiving it, DR. Won Klee COM
municated with the Vatican and later
came to the Vatican with First Secre-
tary Won Saurma of the German en-
bassy. Ratifications were subsequently
exchanged.
The concordat was signed a month
and half ago Last week reports were
published abroad that a-failure to ratify
was likely, but Vatican prelates said
concordats are infrequently ratified be-
fore several months had passed.
Pope Reported Cool to Pact.
The Pope was reported in Vatican
circles as not altogether pleased with
the situation in Germany, partly be-
cause Of Chancellor Hitler's attitude
toward Jews who have become chris
tians, but they said there were no
grounds for refusing to ratify the agree
ment.
The sudden ratiflcations, particularly
on Sunday, came as surprise to both
the Vatican and the German embassy.
It was believed the cabinet in Berlin
acted quickly as a result Of the rumors
that the Pope failed to approve the
instrument
Prelates were surprised at the short
interval which had elapsed since the
signing but believed that Cardinal
Pacelli wanted to conclude the ratifi-
cation before he left on months va
cation in Switzerland, for which he de-
parted this morning.
The action ended rumors that funda-
mental difficulties had arisen between
the Vatican and the Reich.
Combines Rights Under Accords.
The instrument combines in one
treaty the rights guaranteed to Cath
olics by accords with Prussia, Baden
and Bavaria.
The church agreed to keep its priests
and religious associations out of poll
tics, and the state gave its word to the
continuance of Catholic religious asso-
Citations whether clerical or lay. pro-
activities
Several minor questions also were
settled, among them that religious in
struction be compulsory and Catholic
or Protestant according to the majority
faith in each school district. Pupils
of the minority belief, however, are tc
receive separate instruction.
Vice Chancellor Franz Won Papen o1
Germany and Cardinal Paceli signed
the concordat on July 20. 1t was ini-
tailed on July 8.
