Preserving Religious Shrines and Human Lives
CORDELL HULL REPLIES TO POPE’S PLEAS Received Tuesday, 11,15 p.m. WASHINGTON, Marcli 13. “X think we all understand that the Allied military authorities in Italy are dealing primarily with considerations of military necessity forced on them hy the activities and attitude of the German military forces,” said Mr. Cordell Hull, commenting on the Pope's plea that Rome he saved. ‘‘Naturally we are as much interested as any Government or individual in the preservation of religious shrines, historic structures and human lives. I am sure our military people have the same view. “It is my understanding that tho Allied military authorities are pursuing a policy of avoiding damage to such shrines and monuments to the extent humanly possible in modern warfare and in the circumstances which face them. If the Germans were not entrenched in these places or were as interested as we are in protecting religious shrines and monuments and in the preserving the lives of innocent civilians and refugees, no question would arise.”
