Rome, April 2. That a complete un
derstanding has been reached beveen
the Vatican and the quirinal, andit
the next -few months will mark alf
plete change -in Italy's policy toward
the Holy See, is strongly indicated in

The announcement declares, that the

been instructed to lend their sincere
and hearty cooperation to the civil
authorities in preparing the people to
face with courageous fortitude the
hardships and sacrifices which a
bloody and long war might impose in
the' near future.
At the same time this cooperation
is taken to mean""the first step toward
a combination of church and state, and
the full approval of Pope Benedict of
Italy's war attitude.
Up to a few days ago Italian opinion
was evenly divided as to the attitude
of the Vatican in the event that Italy
was ultimately forced to intervene in
the European war. The pope's efforts
to secure1 early peace with both groups
of the belligerents through diplomatic
negotiations and the sudden appoint
ment of an English ambassador to the
Vatican all tended to prove. In the
eyes of the pessimists, that Pope Bene
dict was Endeavoring to secure for the
Holy See: a prominent place in the
peace congress.
Catholic " circles here and a large
number pf Italians with Vatican con
nections deny any such intention on
the part i of the pope, asserting that
the series of diplomatic negotiations
between the Italian and Vatican' chan
cellories resulted in a complete under
standing. j . i
