PEACE DECLARED BETWEEN ITALY AND THE VATICAN
PALACE GATES THROWN OPEN AFTER LATERAN TREATY RATIFICATION. (United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received June 8, 10 a.m.) ROME, June 7. The exchange of ratifications of the Lateran Treaty was carried out in the forenoon with picturesque ceremony. Signor Mussolini was the first Premier of United Italy ever to set foot in the Vatican, when he entered Cardinal Gasparri’s palace to deposit the State’s ratification of the treaty-.
Directly the ceremony was over the Pope’s Swiss Guards mounted sentry at the Vatican City approaches as a sign of sovereignty, and simultaneously the bronze gates of the palace were thrown open as a signal of the peace between the Church and State.—Australian Press Association.
