NAKED by the famous concordat. Re-
turning to Rome, Pacelli was made
cardinal.
The subsequent years have been
far from happy for the Vatican or
its chief diplomat. Early in 1929
the Lateran agreement with Italy
allowed Plus XI to end his volun-
tary exile in Vatican City. Since
then old treaties have been renewed
with Austria, Germany and Yugo-
slavia, while Rumania signed new
pact. And though Cardinal Pacelli
could take heart from these accom-
plishments, he must have frowned
over less happy developments which
placed the Catholic church dian1et-
rically opposite the anti-Christ spec
tres of totalitarianism in it's sundry
forms.
Under Adolf Hitler the church has
suffered first in Germany and later
in Austria. In both Italy and Ger
many there have arisen neo-pagan-
ism movements for "racial purifi-
cation" and persecution of minori-
ties. Mexico's religious foundations
have been rocked, and the Spanish
civil war came-in the eyes of $780,
100000 Catholics-closer than any
since the crusades to being a holy
war.
Changed Attitude Seen.
This was initiation under fire, but
the cardinal rose to his task. So
well, in fact, that democracies
which had long frowned on the
Vatican's interference" now dis
covered a strong ally for the inevita-
BILE showdown with dictators.
No nation can claim the Vatican's
political support against another ma
ton, but the spiritual influence of
Catholic upon Catholic, as voiced
through the pope, is potent force

Pope Plus XII, Diplomat and Ecclesiast,
Brings Modern Statecraft to Vatican
Unchanged Foreign Policy
Expected Under New
Pontiff's Reign
By JOSEPH w. LaBINE

In no living mans memory
had a pope been chosen in "a
hours. Many years had passed
since all 81 cardinals walked
into the secret conclave from
which one must emerge SUI
preme pontiff; in less urgent
times some of the sacred col
lege might be absent.
Most important, not since the
resolute monk Hildebrand was
elected Pope Gregory VII in
1913 had a papal secretary of
state become the vicar of Christ.
But it was no accident that
the Roman Catholic church
presented a solid front, or that its
college of cardinals acted quickly to
choose Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli,
statesman and ecclesiast, as Plus
XII.
In day that demands strong men

none better fitted by experience and
instinct to carry on-With greater
emphasis-the policies of interna-
tional statecraft which first found
expression under the late Plus XI.
Since 1929 the new pope has engi-
neered Vatican foreign policy from
behind scenes as papal secretary of
state. Since 1917, when Benedict
XIV sent him to war-torn Germany

Comes From Vatican Family.
Forty years ago Plus XII disre-
garded a century-old family tradi-
ton which has made the Pacelli
family esteemed members of the
old Vatican aristocracy. His grand
father was undersecretary of the in
terror from 1851 to 1870. His father
was an attorney at the papal court,
as his brother, Francesca, is today.
In 1917 came the appointment as
papal nuncio to Germany, a peace
making effort which failed, but so
impressed the former Kaiser Will
helm that he devoted full chapter
IN his memoirs to the future cardi-
nal and pope. From this first diplo-
matte role it was but short step

There are three marked earth
quake zones in the United States.
The principle one is on the Paci-

STYLE MAGAZINES REPORT
RETURN OF OLD STYLES

The current popularity among ladies
of the up-do hair dress, of the shrug-
type shoulders on coats and dresses
and we hear-of the hoop skirt for
evening wear, have us living surround
ed by scenes reminiscent Of the Gay
Nineties. Style magazines report that
this "Gibson Girl" influence in ladies'
fashions will be with US for some
time. The latest premium of Lever
Brothers Company for Rinse whose
advertisements appears in today's is
sue of the Democrat, falls into line
with this strong trend towards things
fashioned. The offer consists of
beautiful, simulated Cameo Brooch
Of which your grandmother might
well have been proud. The Brooch
is fitted with a pin, safety catch and
concealed loop. It may be worn as a
brooch, pendant or as medallion on
blouse or coat. All that is neces-
sary to obtain the Brooch is 15c and
a large Rinse box top sent to c. B,
S., New York City, in care of Big
Sister, who will sponsor the offer
over her coast-to-coast morning pro-

premium, certainly one well worth
having. See a picture of it at your
