WASHINGTON
By George Durno
A ATICAN—1Catholic leaders in
this country are following Chan-
cellor Hitler s treatment of the Ro-
man Church with intense interest.
Trained observers are reporting
every angle of the Nazi fight to set
up a single Protestant religion in
Germany under strict government
domination.
Unlike the American Jews the
Catholics generally are opposing
the idea of fomenting world re-
sentment against Germany for re*
liffiouft persecution. Both the Gex
man hierarchy and the Vatican
have taken a stand against such
tactics and stalwarts of the Amer-
ican church admit privately they
are working to the same end.
Catholicism instead has made an
absolute assertion of its rights and
is undertaking to ensure them
through negotiation.
m m 0
The Pope anl the German hier-
archy both protested German
treatment of Jews once but church
leaders here insist there is no com-
mon cause
This is in the face oi recent ap*
pearance* of Al Smith and other
prominent Catholic laymen at anti-
German demonstration* sponsored
by tha Jews.
It take* little reading between
the line* to gather that such an
alliance is being discouraged.
• • •
But behind the expressed desire
for amicable settlement lies a mail-
ed Catholic fist. Better than a
third of the German population is
Catholic and local spokesmen lor
the church say Hitler will have his
hands full If matters ever come to
a showdown of foroa.
