ARMSTRONG RETURNS FROM
ENGLAND

NEW YORK-Henry Armstrong
lightweight and welterweight cham
pion of the world, returned from
England aboard the sumptuous Queen
Mary in jovial mood with his family
and manager, Eddie Meade. England
was immensely pleased with Little
'enry's" windmill style of battling,
and the perpetual motion" champ was
equally pleased with English hospital
ity. Especially, was he pleased with
the manner in which they handled their
financial obligations. He was paid
his money in full, despite the fact that
the Armstrong Roderick melee was a
financial flop. Armstrong was paid
$4,000 before the battle commenced,
Though he sustained serious injury
to his left hand, with eight weeks to
recuperate in, the original date Aug.
9 set for the battle with Lou Ambers
still holds good. Armstrong hasn't
asked for a postponement, yet. He
plans three weeks trip to the Pacific
Coast, returning to New York to have
his hand treated and to complete plans
for the Ambers clash.

ROME, Dec. 28.-FolloWing Is

by Pope Plus XII today before
King Victor Emmanuel and
Queen Elena:
On this happy day, in
this royal house which has almost
become the Palatine of the new
history OF Rome, we are glad to ex-
press once again our live Joy for
the solemn visit paid us by their
majesties In the Apostolic Vatican
Palace, showing thereby that spirit
Of veneration for Peters seat which
exalts in our eyes as well as in
those of the Roman people and of
the world the glorious dynasty Of
Savoy, crowned by its saints and its
blessed.
In this royal palace after 10 years
the happy agreement between the
church and the state has been
sealed again an agreement which
joins under the same light of glory
both our venerated predecessor, Plus
XII, and his majesty, Victor En-
manuel III.
The Vatican and the Quirinal,
divided by the Tiber River, are
linked together by peace and by a
common religion of their fathers
and ancestors. The Tiber waves

happy past so that on the Tiber

shores olive branches are now BIOS
soming out.
Today the hand of a Roman Pope
is lifted for the first time after sew
eral decades to bless as a mark of
peace; Italy looks on and exults,
the Catholic world looks on and
exults, and even the two princes of
the apostles sitting at the entrance
of this royal palace seem also to
exult as if happy to see the dawn
of new times.
Certainly our Blessed Lady, to
whom the altar is dedicated in this
palace, will gladly pour her bless
ings on the royal family. We pray
God and the Virgin Mother to ex-
tend their protection to the august
sovereigns, to the royal princes and
princesses, to the illustrious chief
of the italian government and his
ministers and to everybody here
present in order that the peace
which, safeguarded by the wisdom
of its rulers, is making Italy greater,
strong and respected before the
world, may become a stimulus and
incitement to future understandings
for peoples who today almost as
brothers turned enemies are fight
ing across lands, skies and seas
understandings which by their con-
tents and spirit are sure promise
of new order, peaceful and dur
able order, which would be sought
in vain outside of the royal ways
Of justice and Christian charity.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 28.-A new Brit
ish-Swedish trade agreement an
nounced last night is expected to
benefit Finland by supplying Sweden
with goods which eventually will
find their way to the Firms.
Such aid to Finland is said to be
incidental, however, since negotia-
tions for the pact started long before
the Russian invasion of Finland.
A part Of Britain's general war
plan. the trade agreement is de-
signed to adapt British-Swedish
trade arrangements to wartime con-
ditions, with a view to maintaining
trade between the two countries at
q normal level
It is similar to the recent British
italian agreement, but it is said,
however, to name specific commodi-
ties and involve more precise details
than the Italian pact. Details of
the new agreement were not dis
closed Immediately.

expresses correctly the governments
view, said today's meeting lacked
any connection with policies or CON
crete problems of war and peace"
Writing in the Giornale d'1tal!a,
Gayda said that, while war and the
problem of peace find the church
and Italy on the same plane, their.
conceptions and evaluations differ"
He explained that the church
thought in terms of humanity gen.
orally, while the government thought
in terms of Italy's worldly inter-
ests,' including "the quality of right
and possessions with other nations" I"
AS for the church. the Vatican
newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano,
said the visit taught that when "re-
sponsible chiefs know how to find
equitable solutions, tempering cold
justice with wise renunciations," as
in the Lateran accords, the people
understand and appreciate it.
Three Cardinals in Procession.
Three cardinals and host of dig
nitaries of the papal court made up
procession of 18 automobiles for
the visit. Among them was the
papal secretary of state, Luigi Car
dinal Maglione, who wore the Ital-
ian decoration of Annunziata, which
makes him, like the Pope, an hon.
orary cousin of the King.
Despite a drizzling rain, the Pope
rode in an open American automo-
bile, giving the crowds ample oppor-
tunity to see his gestures of bless
ing.
He was dressed in white soutane
with a red ermine- Lined cape and
stole and with a red mantle and
wide-brimmed red hat.
Across St. Peters Square, at the
unmarked boundary of Vatican
City, the procession stopped to re-
ceive the greetings of royal mis-
sion of six officials from the Kings
court.
Prince Clan Giacomo Borghese,
governor of Rome, gave speech
of welcome, and hundreds of carrier
pigeons were released in a tradi-
tional italian sign of welcome.
AS accompaniment there was the
solemn voice of st. Peters big bell.
answered by the pealing bells of
Capitoline Hill.
Soldiers Line Route.
Italian soldiers, standing shoulder
to shoulder, lined the way to the
Quirinal Palace, which once was the
home of the Popes. From tall shafts
along the route, the red-white-and-
green flags of Italy f1uttered with
the hite-and-yellow papal banners.
Military bands turned out to play
papal and Italian anthems.
At the palace steps was the Kings
master of ceremonies to lead the
way between rows of guardsmen to
the King and the princes of the
House of Savoy.
Wearing the decoration of the
Golden Spur, conferred by the Pope
for services for peace and promotion
of cordiality between church and
state, Foreign Minister Count
Galeazzo Ciano represented the gov
ernment.
