NO NEW MOVE
THE POPE AND PEACE
"JOURNALISTIC IMAGINATION"
VATICAN STATEMENT
(By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright.) «
(Received June 6, noon.)
VATICAN CITY, June 5. The following statement has been issued: — "Some of the newspapers refer to new messages sent by the Pope to statesmen following his speech on June 2. That is the result of journalistic imagination. In reality there is nothing to add to what the Pope said. Conversations are certainly continuing, but always on the lines of the plan already indicated by the Pope. That plan takes into account the lively anxiety of the Holy See to remind responsible statesmen, of the value of maintaining peace' and of the enormous damage which would arise if a solution of controversial questions wasleft to the fortunes of war. On the other hand, it takes account of the hope and comforting faith which the Pope maintains in the good dispositions of which he has received ah assurance and which he trusts will become ever firmer and more efficacious."
