NO REPRIMAND
AMERICAN CARDINAL
VATICAN REPLY TO HITLER
LONDON, June 4.
The Vatican City correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" reports that the Secretary of State to the Holy See, Cardinal Pacelli, replying to the second protest of the German Chancellor, Herr Hitler, following the recent speech of the Archbishop of Chicago, Cardinal Mundelein, which was taken in Germany as an insult to Herr Hitler, reiterates that the Pope refuses to reprimand the Cardinal, and emphasises that the German Government has not taken steps to prevent German Ministers making insulting attacks on the Roman Catholic religion.
The Pope points out that when Cardinal Mundelein referred to Herr Hitler as a former paperhanger he was expressing his personal opinion, for which the Vatican could not be responsible. Although a diplomatic rupture between the Pope and Herr Hitler is now feared to.be inevitable, the initiative will be left to Berlin.
