MAINTAINING PEACE
THE VATICAN'S EFFORTS OFFICIAL STATEMENT VATICAN CITY, June 5. The following statement wat issued by the Vatican:— "Some 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. The conversations are certainly being continued, 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 the enormous damage which would arise if a solution to controversial questions were left 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 an assurance, and which he trusts will become ever firmer and more efficacious." «
