VATICAN VOLUNTEERS
Aid as Intermediary (Received March 18, 7.45 p.iu.) Berlin, March 17. The Papal Nuncio, Monsignor Orsenigo, called at the Foreign Office and offered the Vatican’s aid as an intermediary in tlie Rhineland dispute. This offer is deemed unlikely to he accepted after the publication of the article in the “Osservatore Romano,” condemning Herr Hitler's methods.
Tbe Vatican organ "Osseryatore Romano" strongly conde'mned Germany's treaty-breaking, saying: “Whatever reasons Germany may have hail for occupying the Rhineland, she ought to have had recourse to the League as stipulated in 'the Locarno Treaty. International justice is by no means perfect, but this is no justification for recourse to force and breaking up treaties.’’ The article, which is believed to have been inspired by the Pope, created a great impression in Rome.
