Pope Pius Sees No
Agreement With the
Italian Government
ROME.— (AP) —A declaration |
by the Pepe that no accord is in
sight with Premier Mussolini’s
government made a dark picture
Saturday of what the government
Friday described as a fairly opti
mistic situation. |
The Pope said that “odious’ |
spying, perse\utions, accusations
and “continual menaces” © have
been reported by the bishops of
Italy. He gave a much different
view of his negotiations with the
government than the one coming |
from governent sources. |
The Pope resumed his policy
of saying blunt words ahout Mus
solini’s “‘persecution” of him, of
the church and of Catholic youth.
To a group of seminarians he de
clared that not only Catholicg but
nearly the whole world was “with
and behind ‘the Pope” in his
“hitter sorrow.” "
As for the negotiations with the
government, he declared they
are not even really started. To
this government officials replied
only that the exchange of notes
was proceeding normally.
Referring to the Fascists with
out maming them, the Pope de
clared they “appear to be trying
to have it believed, especially
abroad, that things are not so
very grave, that the incidents
have been insignificant and spo
radic, that all is passed and tran
quility restored.
“Exactly the contrary is true—
the truth lies in the contrary of
all they seek to have believed in
their country. We are not on the
way to an accord and the nego
tiations are not even begun. Not
only have we not entered a state
of tranquility but everything pos
sible has been done to maintain
the menacing horizon.” e

Athens Due Wet Summer If
Weather Acts Up To Habit
For Last Eighty-Two Years
Athens is due a wet summer this year. If it doesn’t come this
year, it will probably arrive next year. That is, a study of rainfall
and weather conditions in Georgia since 1849, made by Professor
‘Paul Tabor of the Georgia State College of Agriculture would lead
anyone to believe the above. :
Meanwhile, unless 0.15 inches of rain falls in Athens within the
next ten days, June of the year 1931 will set a record for drought
for the past 47 years. ~Mr. Tabor’s records, in the division of
agronomy at the college, will also bear out that con&ention.
As to the probability of a wet summer: The records show that
the weather moves in cycles, just as the economists claim for busi
ness. The cycle are of about 20 years duration and are composed
of dry and wet periods. According to the figures this section is
now due for a wet summer. e
