THE NEW YORK TIMES, Feb. 12, 1929

* Signing of the Lateran Treaty
* Vatican City becoming it's own state
* Benito Mussolini and the Holy See

The top of the front page has a two column headline: "VATICAN AND ITALY SIGN PACT RECREATING A PAPAL STATE; 60 YEARS OF ENMITY ENDED" with subheads. (see) First report coverage on the creation of the state of the Vatican City which guaranteed full and independent sovereignty. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 52 pages, light toning at the margins, generally nice.
