matic corps that @ treaty had finally been concluded. The sign- ing took place Feb. 12 in the Lat eran Palace, Mussolini represent ing the king and Gasparri the pope.
 At the time the treaty was be- ing signed, the pope mentioned 1t In an address to 0 large gather ing of priests. He said there might be criticism of the arrangements, and then boldly added:
 "The responsibility Is ours alone, grave and formidable though 1t may be, as regards both what has already occurred and what may happen afterwards. There Is not a line nor word in this agreement which has not been the subject of our personal study, profound meditation, and, above all, prayer" POPE BLESSES THRONG
 The next day the pope assisted at the mass in St. Peters on the anniversary of his coronation. A vast crowd had gathered in front of the church and there was a great display of Italian troops, The pope appeared on the balcony at noon and blessed the throng.
 Both houses of the Italian par lament finally voted for the treaty by overwhelming majorities. Mus solini, in a speech to the deputies, seemed to echo the pope's with these words:
 "Every article, every word, in- deed, every comma has been sub- ject of loyal, quiet, but careful discussion. The treaty represents

Irish Republicans
 In Early Campaign
Local Political Unit Arranges for Open Meeting to COn-
 slider Plans for Coming City Elections

day, February 16, at Republican headuuarters. MT. McHugh presided at the executive committee meeting last night at the request of Chair man George Mitchell.
 Early Start
 MT. McIugh said that an early start in the Republican campaign "this year more than in prevoius years. is imperative" In statement today he said, Expecting to accom- plish years work in the three weeks previous to election day is old fash toned. The citizens of Waterbury, educated in politics as they are today are not swayed by prepared speeches of candidates, interested in Q great many cases for their own benefit and not for the benefit of the commit nity. They expect concrete evidence of sincerity in the party they in- tend to support"
 MT. McTIugh continued that "1n his opinion the citizens are not crit- ically interested in the form of gov- ernment that we have in Waterbury, but how it will be administered and by whom 1t will be administered. Merit system, city manager, commits sion, or socialistic form of govern ment can cause far greater harm than the form of government our charter now calls for if the admin istration of these forms of govern ment are placed in the hands of un- scrupulous persons"
 Open Meeting
 Arrangements for an open meeting will be made Thursday. Reports from various committees concerning the clubs activities will be called for.

STATE

SiXty-minutes of thrilling heart- tugging entertainment and the most amazing motion picture revelations since the unforgettable: T Am a Fugitive" are in the offing for theatergoers attending the Warner Bros. State theater for this after noon marks the opening perform ances of the sensational drama Boy Slaves.
 The shocking conditions said to have existed in some of the notori- ous camps where turpentine is gathered and supposed not to have been stamped out, are disclosed in detail on the screen for the first time in this new drama. Many of the shocking scenes will seem unbelievable but never the less they are said to be true, and theater- goers who view the offering during the next three days should prepare themselves for undoubtedly they will be jolted right out of their seats.
 In addition to its unique back ground, this picture is distinguished by its unusually youthful cast. The principal roles are interpreted by Anne Shirley. who is seen in the only feminine role; Roger Daniel, and seven juvenile players recruited from the Broadway stage and the radio. Adding greatly to the nov city of the story is the fact that each of these young players was care- fully chosen especially for his re- spective role from among hundreds of youngsters, without respect to previous experience.
 Depicting the hectic adventures of a group of young hoodlums on the road, the story at an early stage changes its locale to an in- famous turpentine camp where the boys, after having been arrested and paroled to a stranger, find them selves virtual prisoners to their would-be benefactor, who owns the camp. Believing they are going to work and become good citizens, the youthful vagabonds are put to labor under armed guards, and are the object of highjacking attempts from rival camp operators.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents North of Shanghai" co-starring Betty Furness and James Craig.
 Saturday morning, promptly at 10 o'clock the doors of the State theater will swing open to a special kiddies show. Two solid hours of joyous entertainment have been booked especially for this grand event. Mickey and Kinney Mouse. Donald Duck. Toby Tortoise, Pluto. Elmer. Egg-Head Parker, Popeeye and Betty Boop will romp across the screen in their most entertaining manner. Tn addition to this swell selection of short subjects is a special attraction "The Man With out a Country. This picture is un- doubtedly one that every child and adult should see. Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies and Warner Bros. Looney Toones will also be included on the bill.
 There will be positively no ad- vance in prices for this event. The admission for children will Do 10 and adults 25 cents.

 The screen bill will feature "The Great Man Votes, which opens to- day at Loew's Poli.
 By turns a charming tale of fam- fly life, a stinging satire on politics, an uproarous comedy and school day idyl, "The Great Man Votes" at this afternoons performance proved itself a delightful piece of film-fare. John Barrymore. in the title role, gives brilliant perform ance; he is ably seconded by two exceptional children, 11-year-old Virginia Weider and seven-year- -old Peter Holden.
 The whole plot hangs on the whimsical personality of the elder ly night watchman, Gregory Vance, played by Barrymore, who lives with his two motherless children in a ramshackle old house com- pletely surrounded by skyscrapers.

 The ensuing complications with the two children compelling the dis tracted boss to make extravagant promises in return for vance's con- sent, lead to the uproarious climax of the picture, s film which rankc as one of the most joyous vehicles of the screen.

NEA service Stan COfreSpOnuent
 Greatest of all the achievements of the pontificate of Pope Plus xI was the amicable settlement of dis- putes and hostilities which had ex- isted between the Italian state and the Vatican for 60 years.
 Important as were many other diplomatic contacts between the Vatican and world powers, none compared, in importance to the entire church, with this.
 History has recorded the story of the conflict. With the breakup of the Holy Roman Empire, Italy became divided into large num- Der of small states, with their petty rulers--kings, princes, and grand dukes who were played against one another by stronger powers.
 Under the King of Piedmont, founder of the present royal Ital- ian house, a war of liberation be- gan. Finally, nearly all Italy, ex- cept Rome, acknowledged allegi- ance to Victor Emmanuel.
 For about 1000 years the popes had been not only spiritual but temporal sovereigns. But their temporal power ended when 1tal- ian troops attacked the papal city Sept. 20, 1870. When @ breach was made in the city walls, the reign ing pope, Plus TX, ordered that the white flag be raised and the forces of the king entered with out bloodshed.
 TINY AREA LEFT POPE
 Rome was made the capital of @ once more united Italy and there was left to the pope only the small territory around the Vatican and St. Peters. From that time there was latent hostility be- tween church and state.
 When Mussolini had made him- self full master of his country's destinies, the same thought seems to have occurred to him and to Pope Plus xI v here was now at last a chance to close the breach and make @ lasting peace.
 Italy would have to recognize the pope as a temporal sovereign, tiny though his territory might be- The Vatican, on the other hand, would have to surrender all claim to temporal rights over Q greater part of what had once been papal territory.
 PEACE PARLEYS STARTED
 Preliminary steps were taken as early as August, 1926, when, act ing for Mussolini, Professor Ba- rome, one of Mussolini's council lors of state, sought to have an appointment with Advocate Pa- celli.
 The latter sounded the Vatican and was told to go ahead
 The two lawyers had more than 100 meetings and Pacelli had more than 100 long audiences with the pope, outlining what had been done. On Nov. 24, 1926, Barone and Pacelli finally sat down and made a rough draft of an agree ment. By February, 1927, re- drafted concordat had been com- pleted.
 But things were still far from complete. All these steps had been, as 1t were, unofficial.
 In September, 1928, Cardinal Gasparri, then papal secretary of state, authorized official negotia- tions, and in November Mussolini did the same.
 TREATY IS SIGNED
 The king gave Mussolini a royal rescript on Nov. 9, author izing him to settle the Roman question, and on Nov. 25, the pope gave the same credentials to Cardinal Gasparri.
 At last, on Feb. 2, 1929, Cardinal Gasparri announced to the diplo-
