PAPAL PROPOSAL
CONFERENCE OF POWERS ENGLAND NOT ENTHUSIASTIC NO IMMEDIATE INTEREST (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) ROME, May 16. It is reliably stated that the Papal Nuncios in Berlin, Paris, Rome, and Warsaw and the Apostolic Delegate in London consulted the Governments on the question whether they would accept an invitation from the Pope to meet on Vatican territory, but not under Papal presidency. It is understood, that Italy, Germany, and France replied in the affirmative. England stated that she had no immediate interest in such discussions, which were confined to French, Italian, German, and Polish differences. Cardinal Maglioni, the Papal Secretary of State, is reported to be visiting European capitals to follow up the negotiations. The British coolness is believed to have influenced Poland, which is reluctant to discuss the Papal suggestion.
