The treaty, .opposed by the Na

Communists and scattered groups,
was assured of a safe majority
when the present Prussian coali

There was, however, considerable
opposition from individuals in the

It is observed that there are num
erous families of Lille in which the
number of priests is relatively high.
There are the families Motte. Cors, j
Trachez and Lavigne of which three I
or four children are priests or reli
gious; Mallebraucq. of which four
sons are priests; Jubaru. of which five
sons are priests. The Basquin family
holds the record with six.

A stir was caused when the Na- j
tionatikt Deputy Goldau announced ,
that he would bolt his party, which I
opposed the treaty, and would vote j
for the concordat. Werner Stein- |
hoff, Nationalist floor leader, then:
announced the exclusion of Herr j
Goldau from the party.
The concordat represents the j
culmination of several years of ne- j
gotiations between Monsignor Pa- |
relli. the Papal Nuncio, and the
Prussian Ministry of Worship.
It also is provided in the con
cordat that no one shall be ap
pointed to an ecclesiastical post un
less he is a German citizen, pos
sesses the German equivalent of a
matriculation certificate and has
completed at least a three-year j tres,
course in a German State Univer-
sity. at one of the three seminaries
specified in the treaty or at a
Papal Seminary in Rome.
No pro\i§ion concerning religi
ous teaching is contained in the
concordat. In the matter of endow
ments, Prussia’s annual contribu
tion toward the upkeep of th£
Catholic Church is increased from
1.400.000 marks (about $336,000) to
2.800.00 marks (about $672,000)

Difficulties also were presented j
by the attitude of the official evan- j
gelical synod and the many Pro- j
testant bodies in Prussia. The gov- j
ernment has indicated its willing- i
ness to enter into negotiations with i
the synod for the conclusion of I
a similar agreement.
