Pope Plus Fights

By DEGREES, Declares
Vatican Paper
BY the Associated Press.


VATICAN CITY, Nov. l4.-L'Os-
servatore Romano. Vatican City
newspaper. disclosed today that Pope
Plus vainly had asked both Premier
Mussolini and King Vittorio Eman-
uele to prevent adoption of Italy's
new racial marriage restrictions.
The newspaper said the decree
had wounded" the Lateran accord,
the 1929 agreement between the
church and the Italian government.
1t expressed hope that an agree
ment still might be reached which
would "obviate a divergence" be-
tween the church and state over a
question Of principle in a matter
Of capital importance"
The decree, promulgated last
Thursday, prohibited marriage of
an Italian citizen of the Aryan race
with a person belonging to another
race"
Pope Wrote Letters Himself.
THE august person OF the holy
father himself intervened directly
with two paternal, hand written let
ters-one directly to the chief of
government and the other to the
King Emperor" L'Osservatore said.
Notwithstanding that, new legis-
lative dispositions have come out
without agreement with the Holy
See, which, 1t Is understood, with
keen regret feels 1t duty to express
its protest as we know 1t already
has done"
The newspaper said there had
been only about 10 marriages a year
in Italy between so-called Aryan and
non-Aryan Catholics such as would
be affected by the new decree laws.
1t pointed out that the church
usually sought to dissuade persons
from mixed marriages.
But all of these considerations
DO not remove the painful surprise
at seeing wounded an undertaking
(the concordat), and 1t may be
hoped, perhaps, that by opportune
agreement there may be obviated
divergence which, however few
the number Of cases affected, in.
wolves a question Of principle In a
matter OF capital Importance" the
newspaper continued.
Lateran Accord Provision.
Article "a of the Lateran Con-
cordat provided that church mar
riages should be recognized as legal
by civil authorities and that cases
involving notification Of church
marriages should be decided by
canon law.
The italian marriage restrictions,
however, prohibited civil authorities
to register marriages between
"Aryan" Italians and members of
other races and declared any such
marriages to be null.

F0UR-POWER TALK
Chamberlain and Fuehrer
Reported Agreed on
Wider ParIey. ...
BY WALLACE r. DEUEL.,

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent
BERLIN, Sept. 16.-Possibilty that
q four-power conference might be
called in an attempt to deal with the
German-Czech question was being
widely discussed here late this after
noon. If convoked, the conference
would include representatives of Ger
many, France, England and Italy.
British, Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain and Adolf Hitler, at
Berchtesgaden, agreed on such a con-
ference in their talk at the chancellor's
mountain retreat at Berchtesgaden
last night, according to one report
here today, but this was unconfirm-
able. The meeting would be con-
vened at Godesberg, in the Rhineland,
this report had it. and one version
even said that the statesmen had
telephOned Premier BenitO MusSolini
from Berchtesgaden and obtained his
agreement.
Ondcial quarters in the Wilhelm
strasse declined either to confirm or
to deny these reports.
1T is only a report" the foreign
office spokesman declared. 1T Is not
true-not yet at least
I'VE cannot discuss it," said the
propaganda ministry.
Foreign embassies professed igno-
rance of such . plan.
Amid = tempest of these and other
uncomfortable reports, Mr.. Chamber
lain left for London today with notice
of what action the Reich intends to
take against Czechoslovakia-and take
speeoily-unless its demands are met
and the question of what England is
going to do about it.

Rome Considers Parley.
ROME, Sept. Is P-A possibility
that Germany, Italy, Britain and
France would attempt together to find
some way to prevent war claimed at

Political circles were hesitant about
predicting the chances for eventual
success of such four-power talks, and
some observers expressed doubts that
the four countries could agree on q
solution to the German -Czechoslovak
crisis while divided on other points.
Dispatches from abroad hinted four
power talks might be widened to in
clude the Spanish War; armaments,
colonies and the like.
The Paris correspondent of the
newspaper Popolo di Roma said, AT
first glance the idea seems attractive,
nevertheless we hasten to suggest that
this ambition seems excessive =

desks Of more than one cabinet head. !"

closed.
A little later her fingers relaxed
their grip, and he eased his hand
