The Pore declared that “peace"

"Ii they (leaders of nations) give to the Father who is in Heaven the homage wished by Him and fraternal concord among his child- ren of all countries and all lang- uages, then only will they succeed in realizing and perfecting a stable and fruitful international organi- sation such as is hoped ior by the men oi good will," the Pope said.
