GENEROUS AID
GIVEN BY THE VATICAN TO BRITISH PRISONERS OF WAR. GRATEFUL ACKNOWLEDGMENT BY MR EDEN. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 9.45 a.m.) RUGBY. March 10. The Foreign Secretary, Mr Anthony Eden, asked in the House of Commons what aid had been given by the Vatican Secretariat on behalf of British prisoners of war, said the Vatican had given much material and moral comfort to British prisoners in Italy and the Far East —as much as was in their power — and this was very much appreciated by the Government. When asked if it was true that nearly 100,000 communications from British prisoners had been trans-' mitted through the Vatican, Mr Eden said this might very well be so.
