ADDRESS BY POPE
REFERENCE TO PEACE
CHEERED BY ITALIAN WORKMEN.
FASCIST PAPER'S COMMENT.
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, June 16.
Frenzied applause and cries of “Long Live the Pope!” rang out from over 30,000 Italian workers in Rome on Whit Sunday whenever the Pope used the word “Peace” in a speech from the Vatican, says the Stockholm newspaper "Dagbladet.” War workers from all parts of Italy flocked to Rome to hear the Pope. The Berlin radio quoted criticism contained in the Rome newspaper “Il Tevere” regarding Italian workmen who so freely cheered the Pope's references to peace. Tne newspaper did not refer to the cheering, but charged the workers with misusing their time, adding they v/ere given special leave to hear the Pope’s speech, but that there was no need for special exhortations, because. all the workers were organised in Fascist syndicates.
