VATICAN DENIES NEW PEACE EFFORT
REPORT AS “JOURNALISTIC IMAGINATION”
VATICAN CITY, June 5. The following statement was issued today:— “Some newspapers refer to new messages sent out by the Pope to statesmen after his speech last Friday. 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 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 assurance and which he trusts will become ever firmer and more efficacious.”
