Only recently the "Osserva tore Komano," mouthpiece of the Vatican, spoke hopefully of an understanding between Mus solini's ruling party and the pope. A sudden change puzzles Eu rope. Mussolini, in rather plain words, threatens to suppress Catholic organizations for the education of youth, saying the government must control and prepare the minds of future citizens. The Spartans did that, tak- i lug children from their parents. Sparta did not last. It is not the present pope's intentions evidently to accept Mussolini as a former pope ac cepted Keinzi.
