Pope Hopes to See Wilson Visit Considered Probable
Paris reports that President Wilson has not confirmed a Rome visit but is now viewed as likely. The Pope desires an audience and Vatican officials see no diplomatic clash with the Quirinal. If he goes, Wilson would meet King Victor Emmanuel at the Quirinal, then visit the American embassy and Cardinal Gasparri at the Vatican. If he stays at the Vatican, calls would be exchanged via the embassy. A post Christmas itinerary is anticipated, with Rome preparing arches and flags as crowds await the President.
