RECOGNIZES DEMOCR
By Henry Wood,

PARIS, Sept. 9. That politically
the Vatican has Joined with the
democrats, casting Its lot with' the
new world wide liberal movement,
is revealed in a papal letter pub
lished today In connection with the
participation of French Catholics in
the coming parliamentary elections.
The Vatican will hereafter accept
democracy as the only source of po
litical power and will work to up
build permanently democratic gov
ernments. The Vatican program
contains four definite planks for the
establishment of social peace, as fol
lows: "Co-operation of all classes, coali
tion of all classes against bolshevlam,
acceptance of democracy anil educa
tion Of the proletariat."
Immediately prececding the "war,
fhe decline of monarchies and growth
of democracies had left tho Vatican
wlth only the Ilapsburg and Spanish
Rumania Will Not Sign
monarchies for political allegiance,
as no diplomatic relations were main
tained with Europe's democracies.
The fall of the Ilapsburg dynasty
left only one Catholic monarchy and
the I'upe faced the necessity of rec
ognizing democracy or practically
disappearing from the diplomatic
world.
Pope Benedict frankly announced
his choice of the former.
- One almost certain result of this
policy will be eventual resumption
of political and diplomatic relations
with France, Italy thus gaining the
support of the two leading Catholic
countries of Europe.
The movement for a reconciliation
with tho political governments Is al
ready well advanced In tluly.
