CHURCH AND STATE.
POSITION IN ITALY. (Australian Press Association.) LONDON, Sept. 17. _ The Rome correspondent of the British United Press reports that the position between Signor Mussolini and the Pope has'become more tender as the result of speeches delivered recently by His Holiness. In his first speech the Pope took a number of the Duce’s phrases and turned them to his own use, whereupon the Giornale d’ Italia, Fascism’s chief organ, pointed out that the Pope would find that 99 per cent, of 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 that, lie hoped the Government would multiply its surveillance over the Roman Catholic clergy and organisations, in which Signor Mussolini would find virtue and the promise of great tilings. “We also,” he added, “have our liberty, which is an insuppressible sovereign gift.”
