TEMPORAL AFFAIRS.
Position Between Pope And Mussolini. FASCIST PAPER'S WARNING. (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) LONDON, September 18. The Rome correspondent of the British United Press reports that the position between the Prime Minister, Signor Mussolini, and the Pope has become more tender as a result of recent speeches made by his Holiness. In his first speech the Pope is said to have taken a number of the Duce's phrases and turned them to his own use. Thereupon the chief Fascist organ "Giornalo d'ltalia," said the Pope would find 99 per cent of the people of Italy would .react violently "if the Holy Father abandoned God and mixed with men in temporal things with a fighting, partisan spirit." The Pope on Monday evening repeated and emphasised his earlier statements to the effect that he hoped the Government would multiply its surveillance over the Roman Catholic clergy—organisations in which Signor Mussolini would find virtue and the promise of great things. . "We also have our liberty, which is an insuppressible sovereign gift," the Pope added.
