POPE’S GREAT EMOTION.
PRAYERS FOR UNIVERSAL PEACE. CHARITY OVER JUSTICE. VATICAN CITY, Oct. 27. Speaking with great emotion the Pope, in the course of a broadcast to the Peruvian Eucharistic Congress, invited all mankind to join in prayers for universal peace and the reign' of Christian love, especially in Europe and Africa, where peace was already disturbed and in danger of suffering greater breaches. - “Let us pray for peace founded on justice not bereft of truth and cnarity, said the Pope. His Holiness, interviewed by Dr. , Edivard Price Bell, the English journalist, author and lecturer on foreign affairs, declared: “I cannot believe that any civilised State would become so monstrously murderous, almost certainly suicidal, as to deliberately provoke another world war.” Asked if such nation existed, the Pope answered: “Then we turn to God with inspired prayers to scatter those nations delighting in wars.” Questioned concerning armaments, His Holiness indicated that their only honourable virtuous function was to preserve law and order, and shield civilisation against the destruction, ignominy and anguish of war. “We must join charity and justice and even make charity, prevail ovei justice, and thus achieve political and industrial harmony. Save the individual, and you save the race,” concluded the Pope.
