 The College of Cardinals ad- ministers the Holy See during its vacancy, and elects the pope. meeting in solemn conclave for the purpose.
 q. What is the attitude of Judaism toward private prop- erty?
 A. There is nothing in Jew ish history to indicate that the teachings of Judaism, as accept ed by the masses of the Jewish people, denied at any time the right to property. A saying of the ancient literature tells Us, "He who saith what is mine is mine, and what Is thine is mine Is a wicked person." A rabbi nearly two thousand years ago said: "Thy neighbours property shall be as precious to thee as thine own" (Aboth 2:i7).
 Private property was always regarded as q trust from God to be secured by industry and initi- ative and to be used for the benefit of all. All through the old Testament days, the period of the Talmud, and the Middle Ages, wherever the Jews lived. an individuals right to property was recognized and acknowledge ed to this degree, that laws and institutions were developed for trade and industry, specific laws were devised for transfer of property through inheritance, provisions were made for the equitable relationship between landlord and tenant, between employer and employe. ln oEder that justice might be dose in egagy ease.
