THE POPE’S STAND
AGAINST MUSSOLINI. t United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph .—Copyright.) LONDON, Sept. 17. The British United Press Rome correspondent, reports:—The position between Signor Mussolini and the Pope has become more .tender, as the result of recent speeches of the Pope. In his first speech, the Pope took a number of II Duce’s phrases, and turned them to his own use. Thereupon, the facsist chief organ, the “Gionale D’ Italia,” pointed out that the Pope would find that ninety-nine per cent, of the Italians would react violently “if the Holy Father abandoned God, and mixed with men in temporal things with a fighting partisan spirit.” The Pope last night repeated and emphasised his earlier statements, when he expressed the hope that the Government would mutiply its sudveillance over the Roman. Catholic Clergy and organisations, wherein Signor Mussolini would find virtue and the promise of great things. “We also,” the Pope added, “have our liberty, which is an ■insuppressible, sovereign gift.”
