Pope Retains Mental Vig0r
 After 16 Years 0f Reign
Achieved Reforms During Long Reign

ems everything = individual dig nity, sanctity of the family, order, security and religion"
 During all his Pontificate his constant prayer has been for peace. Commenting on the rum- ors of wars, he once said:
 If anyone should dare to com- init this heinous crime (of war) which God forbids, then we could not but turn to Him with bitter ness in our hearts, praying: Seat ter the peoples who want wars"
 The Pope denounced not only Communism, but also the evils of capitalism. In a famous Encycli- cal ill 1881 he said he did not con- demn capitalism in itself, but the grave abuses which vitiated it.
 Hits Maxi Prosecutions
 His last years have been sad dened by the prosecutions in Nazi Germany, particularly of his own faithful. He has spoken as few have dared. In an Encyclical to German Catholics in March last year, he said
 Whoever raises the conception of race or people or state or a form of government beyond mum dane valuation and claims to make idols out of them, violates the divine order of things"
 Last May occurred the famous incident when Cardinal Munde- lein of Chicago referred to the persecution of Catholics in Ger many and called Hitler a paper hanger. The Nazis lodged a pro- test with the Vatican. Instead of censuring the Cardinal, the Pope later referred to Mundelein as Your great Cardinal, courageous in defense of the right of God and of the Church"
 Refutes Nazi Protests
 And only last Christmas in a reception to Cardinals, the Pope said:
 Tn Germany there is real per- secution. For some considerable time it has been said and repeat ed that there is no persecution, but we know that it exists We know there Is persecution such as there has never been before, persecution which is grave and fearful and has already produced grievicus results"
 The Cardinals present were amazed at the vigorous voice of the Pope. Only little over a year ago he seemed at deaths very door. The iron will which enabled him to rally from that illness is the same which is keep ing him right at his Vatican tasks today
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-02-03

It was this long quarrel which was ended when on February IL, 1929, Cardinal Gasparri and Mus solini signed an accord. The Vat ican recognized the kingdom of Italy under the rule of the House of Savoy and Italy recognized the state of the Vatican City under the sovereignty of the Pope.
 The Pope thus became once more temporal sovereign. He had full sovereign rights - legis- lative, executive and judiciary power, police, flag, money of his own coining, postage stamps, rail- way, and wireless service.
 On the seventh anniversary of his coronation as Pope, he appear ed on the balcony of St. Peters before an enormous crowd which saluted him:
 Hail Plus, Pope and King"
 It was the first time in 59 years that this was literally true.
 There are a number of other "firsts" for this Pope. He was the first Pope to use an automobile; the first Pope to broadcast; the first Pope since 1870 to spend a summer vacation at Castel Gan- dolfo.
 Inveighs Against Communism
 In his reign of Is years he sign ed concordats and conventions with many nations including Ger many, YugoSlavia, Czechoslovakia, Portugal. Poland. France, Latvia and Lithuania. He has bitterly de- nounced Communism in Russia, Mexlca, Mexico and Spain.
 In one such allocution he said:
 Communism is the first, great est and most general peril which either openly or insidiously threat

Faithful Will Hold World Celebration
BY MILTON BRONNER

DIX M1kION BhONNEH
 NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 London, February 3.-Enfeebled by age and illness, yet still vigorous of mind and strong of will, Pope Plus XI approaches the sixteenth anni- versary of his coronation as Su- prene Pontiff, temporal and spirit ual ruler of the Roman Catholic church.
 On Sunday February 6, Catholics throughout the world will join in celebrating the accomplishments of the frail man who, few months ago, was so desperately i'll that physicians despaired of his life.
 Striking out boldly for things he believed would benefit the church; accepting compromises when inevitable, daring to speak out forcefully against the exist ing order when necessary = Plus XI's papal anniversary will mark the close of 16 years which have been highly significant in Roman Catholic history.
 Ended PapaI Isolation
 Chief, perhaps, among his &C., conplishments has been the bold and resolute action through which he reached agreement with Pre- rnier Benito MuSsolini ending the long quarrel between the Vatican and the lay government of Italy.
 For centuries the Popes had been temporal sovereigns, reign ing like kings over considerable territories. Even as late as 1859 the papal states comprised 17,218 square miles with population Of 3,125,000 and including the city of Rome.
 Beginning about that time, the House of Savoy, in conjunction with republicans like Garibaldi, began the series of wars which eliminated in 1870 when troops of the House of Savoy entered Rome and made it the capital of united Italy.
 The Vatican, the great Church of St. Peters, the grounds around them and other properties were reserved to the church under so-called Law of Guarantees. But the Pope of that time, Plus TX, refused to acknowledge this law while he held really made the Pope vassal of the Italian gov- ernment.
 From that time he and his successors remained voluntary prisoners within the Vatican lim- it's and had no dealings with royal house which was Catholic aIsd reigned over people over whelmingly Catholic.
