MUSSOLINI AND VATICAN
STRAINED RELATIONS. NEW YORK. June 3.' Mrs. Camille Cinafarra, formerly the Rome correspondent of the “New York Times," who has- arrived here from Italy, says: “The relations between the Vatican and Mussolini are increasingly deteriorating. This follows repeated but unsuccessful efforts that have been made to win the Pope’s sympathy for the Axis. It also has been due to the action of numerous Italian priests, who have insisted on preaching peace, instead of preaching hatred against the democracies. These priests have been imprisoned. “Only Mussolini’s awareness of the world-wide moral power of the church,” she adds, “has avoided an open breach, but both official and unofficial Vatican sources do not hesitate to declare that in the Vatican’s opinion, only a Democratic victory could avoid an era of persecution against the churches.”
