None of the "statesmen" was named. Neither the Anglo-French lineup, which lost its shirt last time it sat down at a conference table with Herr Hitler, nor the militant Fascist powers warmed to Papal intervention.

Osborne and sent messages to London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Warsaw. What he said to Minister Osborne remained a secret...

Thence, in his sedia gestatoria (portable chair) the Pope proceeded to the Basilica of St. John Lateran and the real business of the day.

S. hierarchy-Father Spellman was made an assistant to the Papal Secretary of State in 1925, thereafter became one of the Vatican's most useful U. S. prelates.

He it was who, in 1931, smuggled out of Italy, by airplane, an anti-Fascist papal encyclical which was in danger of being suppressed. When the present Pope visited...
