VOICE FROM VATICAN
“WORLD WANTS PEACE”
FUTILITY OF WAR »
(Reed. August 25, 2.30 p.m.) ROME, August 24,
Speaking in quite earnest tones, the Pope, in a broadcast to-day said: “In this grave hour we must talk peace. Jesus» wanted all men to be brothers. I earnestly appeal to the Governments, rulers and peoples. “Justice cannot be obtained by violence. War is futile and causes only bloodshed and the destruction of our fatherland. We pray that the rulers will make the utmost efforts for peace. “The hearts of mothers and fathers are beating with Ours. The whole world wants peace, bread and work, not steel and war.”
