I "This recall," said Premier Combes, ' slgnliles that we can not allow the Holy See to Interpret the presence of our Embassador in Rome in a sense favorable to Its claims or to make use of this presence to Justify pretensions uhlch we reject. It also means that we ill not allow the Papacy to Intermcd- li in our international relations, and that we intend to have done, once for .Jl, with the superannuated fiction of t mpornl power, which disappeared hlrty-four years ago. We will not ., ithdraw the whole staff accredited to l he Vntlcan, as we are bound by the i oncordat to maintain at the Vatican n agent of our Government for carry's carry-'s on of business. We cannot suppress he Embassy and concordat by our own authority for that right belongs to the chambers." |
