POPE’S FREEDOM. LONDON, Oct. 13. The “ Daily Mail’s ” Romo correspondent says: The question of the relations between Church and State has taKen a new turn. The newspaper “ Observatore Romano ” lias now disclosed concessions which the Government might make to the Vatican in order to pacify the Holy See. Tho “Observatore” says: “ It is necessary that the Vatican should have temporal power in order to demonstrate its independence before the world. The Government should form a now Papal State, however tiny, over which tho Holy See should have undisputed sway, which can he done without any loss of prestige, since it would he restoring what was illegally taken away in 1870. The Vatican asserts that this is possible without the necessity of foreign intervention.” The correspondent adds: The statement of the “ Ossorvatore ” has caused deep impression. Apparently/’ Signor Mussolini is about to reap the fruits of his long-sighted policy of pacification towards the Vatican. ROME, Oct. It. The long-standing dispute between the Pope and the Italian Government, lasting since 1879, is likely at last to he settled. The “ Osservatoro Romano ” publishes an official note, declaring that the Pope is awaiting the Italian Government’s recognition of his temporal powers without the intermission of other states. In other words, this declaration which lias long been expected, seems to mean that the Pope lias decided in favour of the Fascist Government’s suggestion to recognise the Pope as the sovereign possessor of the remainder of the former Papal States. On the other hand, the “ Morning Post’s ” Rome correspondent expresses the opinion that the restoration of some land is necessary, pointing out. in the words of the newspaper that “ Tlie Vatican will never invoke any international tribunal, awaiting Instead, the sense of rectitude and justice of the Italian people. The Pope is the sole judge of his own liberty. At present, he does not feel , free.”
