It is contended that if the Vatican dimmed its lights during a real raid it would be assisting the Italians by coneealing the Vatican City's whereabouts. It is argued that th'e correct poliey would he to burn the lights during a raid and plaee the onus of avoiding the dropping of bombs in neutral territory on the attackers. If the Vatican dimmed, it would be its own fault if a bomb fell on St. Peter's.
