ROME, March 20 —Premier Musso lini expressed optimism today concern ing an eventual understanding on the "Roman Question" involving the rela tions between the Vatican and the Italian state. The premier was receiving a commit tee of the Center party, composed of Catholics favorable to the Fascist 'vgtme, when the question came up.

I!>JS London to Revive Old Custom When King And Queen Pay Visit to Historical Site I l»i* Aanoolati'il Pr»'na. LONDON, March 20—A centuries’ old custom of English Kings will be j revived March 24 when King George, accompanied by the Queen, will pay a .ceremonial visit to “The City," which is the area that comprised old London, and was once surrounded by a wall. The occasion will be the opening of ‘ the palatial new headquarters of Lloyds, the famous marine underwriting corporation. The ceremony will consist of the presentation to his majesty on the site ,or Temple Bar. once a gate of the wall, of the pearl sword of the city by the lord mayor of London. Sir Charles Batho. as a token of the city's loyalty. The King, leaning from his carriage will smilingly touch the blade of the sword, thereby signifying that he is pleased to return it to the lord mayor, j This ceremony has been observed with lapses tor many centuries when the sovereign has visited the city in 1 state. Its origin is a little obscure, but it seems to have arisen In the days of j long ago when the approach of the j King to the walls of old London was not always as welcome to the tnhabi- I tants as it is in these days. Perhaps in those days the lord mayor was sup- ; ported at Temple Bar by a goodly num- , ber of his fellow citizens who wished j to be assured that the coming of the j sovereign boded no ill to their rights. | The pearl sword, studded with jewels. I is said to have been given to the city by Queen Elizabeth. Temple Bar. the last of the old city gates and which stood in the Strand, was pulled down 50 years ago. It had j been rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren ; at the time he was rebuilding St. Paul's 1 and was a handsome specimen of his period of architecture. It yielded to the demands of traffic. Eventually Sir Henry Bruce Mcux obtained the stones and re-erected it at the entrance of his private park in Essex.
