Pope and Sultan Readied for Rift in East Affairs
A Rome correspondent reports the discontinuance of relations between the Porte and the Vatican. Last summer the pope asked the sultan to protect Christians in Crete and a papal delegate secured an audience at Yildiz Kiosk. The sultan replied in Turkish that the pope meddles in state matters, then in French claimed to care for all subjects. A second letter in October fared better but drew no reply, and there have been no direct Vatican-Porte communications since.
