VATICAN FREEDOM
ANTI-SANCTIONS CAMPAIGN
VATICAN CITY, November 22. Though many prelates are voluntarily observing the restrictions imposed on the Italian people, the Vatican is not participating in the antisanctions campaign.
Meat, which is not purchasable in Rome on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, is being sold daily in the Vatican store. It is understood that the Pope has not changed his manner of living. Petrol costs 5s 4d a gallon in Rome and Is 8d in Vatican City. Other commodities are also cheaper.
It is not expected that any restrictions will be imposed, as the Vatican gets its goods duty free through the Customs.
The 400 inhabitants of Vatican City State have 150 motor-cars, a higher proportion- than any other State in the world; the cars are mostly American. The Pope has six cars, all presented by their makers.
