Sixty years OF strife between
the Italian government and the
Vatican ended with the signing
of the Latcran treaty, at which
Mussolini, left, and Cardinal
Gasparri, right, were the prin-
cipal figures.
The pope not only was head of the
Roman Catholic Church, but king
of a belt of Italian lands extending
from sea to sea. In 1870 King
Victor Emmanuel I had become
sovereign of all Italy, except the
papal states. These were con-
quered in that year and in 1871
Rome was declared the capital of
united Italy.
To the pope was left the Vati-
can and the Lateran palace. Pope
Plus TX, then head of the church,
made himself voluntary prisoner
in the Vatican grounds, refusing to
give up his claims as a temporal
sovereign. Every successor emulat-
ed his example.
Ends Long Quarrel
The quarrel poisoned the stream
of Italian life. Italy was basically
and overwhelmingly Catholic. And
the people were confronted with
this estrangement between their
Catholic king and the head of
their church.
All efforts to compose the quar-
rel in the past had failed. Musso-
lini determined to end it.
Negotiations were secretly start
ed in 1925 and continued up to
1928. In 1929 Mussolini personally
took part. On Feb. Z, 1929, Card
inal Gasparri, papal secretary of
state, announced that an accord
had been reached.

cardinal formally signed the pa

There was a political treaty,
which recognized the absolute tenn
poral sovereignty of the pope over
what is now known as the State
of the Vatican City. Extra-terri-
toriality was guaranteed to other
papal holdings in and around
Rome.
The Catholic religion was for

of being tolerated" were now

Builds Up Own Nation
Inside Italy it is an old story
that Mussolini cleaned the govern
eminent service of corruption,
made the railways efficient, built
many new roads, improved the
harbors at Genoa, Trieste, and
other ports, and encouraged the
building of great passenger liners
to America vying with the best.
He made of Rome a great CAPT.
tai, and it soon became a million
city, surprising Milan and Naples.
Tearing down old rookeries, he
drove through splendid boulevards
which revealed the ancient Rome
which was once capital of the
world.
He encouraged town planning
which would admit of Rome's
comfortable growth to a city OF
two millions. He pushed forward
Identification of Italian railways
and development of electric power
out of water power, SO Italy
would have to import less coal.
Many of the marshy, fever-swept
districts in and near Rome were
drained and converted into rich
farm lands.
One of his most notable accom-
plishments was his so-called Bat
tie of Wheat" The Italians are
great eaters of bread and of maca-
roni and spaghetti. In 1922 Italy
had to import nearly SO per cent
of it's wheat requirements.
Mussolini started the wheat bat
tie in 1925. In 1882 he had the
satisfaction of seeing Italy entirely
self-supporting in the matter of
wheat. Not lire had to be sent
abroad to purchase the all-impor-
| tant grain.

In January, 1885. Mussolini
and Pierre Laval, French foreign
secretary, signed an agreement at
Rome, settling all outstanding
questions between the two coun-
tries.
Peace With Vatican
If in foreign affairs Mussolini
proved himself a clever, wise, and
far-seeing statesman, at home he
brought off wonderful piece of
diplomacy. Mussolini settled a
quarrel between the kingdom of
Italy and the Vatican which had
lasted more than go years.
The popes for centuries prac-
tically had been temporal sover-
eigns of the middle part of Italy.

 Maybe Myrtle will tell your for tune with her cards, or else you can just saunter into the kitchen, warm yourself near the coal stove and listen to them telling about the old Negro man living in Gall lipolis, who can cure warts. He just mumbles a few words, you pay him a dime and go home, and then in a few days your warts drop right off.
 We have our dinner at 12 o'clock. Something about this air and the river makes you very hungry. It makes you so hungry you can't wait for someone to pass you the baking powder biscuits. so you reach out and spear one with your fork.
