DRAIN OF WAR
POPE VOICES FEARS WORLD ANAEMIA (Reed. Dec. 26,,9 a.m.) VATICAN CITY. Dec. 24. The Pope, replying to Christmas greetings from the College of Cardinals, suggested that the belligerents might begin now to consider their war aims. Their projects for a better world peace should be honourable for the small nations as well as the large. Among the problems to be faced were the creation of new juridical institutions for the future maintenance of peace, the settlement of minorities and the assurance of freedom in religious practice. The Pope condemned the armaments race and urged Governments to check this as speedily as possible. He strongly denounced Russia foi her invasion of Finland which “calls for the vengeance of the vendetta.” He also dwelt on his fears for the economic, social and spiritual future as a result of Bolshevism and was afraid that the drain of war would weaken the nations into a state of pernicious anaemia.
