. I8TH CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
CHARL(Yl'TETOWN, CANADA MONDAY. DECEMBER- 24, ANGlO- FRENCH WITHDRAWAL COMPLETED
Dangers Of Appeasement Are Stressed By Pope Pius
VATICAN CITY (C? The Pope proclaimed Sunday that de- fensive war is morally lawful and warned the free world against the dangers of appeasement.
His lath Christmas message made clear that. in the eyes of the Roman Catholic church. the freedom fighters of Hunargy had the moral right to resist Russian force with force.
..There must be no repetition. he laid. of the events preceding the Second World War "when all the threatened nations. and not merely the smallest. sought their safety at the expense of others."
"In the end," the Pope do- elared. "all together were over-' whelmed by the holocaust."
CONDEMNS COMMUNISM
The 80-year-old Pontlff. frail but vigorous. endorsed the idea of a United Nations police force to protect the peace and delivered the nu .. condemnation he has ever made of Communism and what he called its determina- tion "to impose on all r pies. in one way or another, a special and intolerable way of life."
Against this drive. he said. "only the unanimous and cour- ageous behavior of all who love the truth-and the good can pro- serve peace. and will preserve it."
The head of the Roman Cath- nlic church was replying to ('lu'istmas greetings of the College of Cardinals.
But. as in the past, his words were aimed at man. their lead- t-rs and rulers everywhere.
The Vatican Radio and net works of more than a, score ol countribd carried his lions. The pontiff said that:
BACKS UN FORCE i. The United Nations should
have "the right and power of foresialllng all military interven-
llon of one state in another . . .
and also the right and power of assuming. by means of s suffi- cient police force. the safeguard- ing oi order in the state which is threatened."
1. Rights of membership in the United Nations yshould be denied to nations which refuse to admit UN observers. This point seemed aimed at Hungary's Communist government.
3. "Only in the ambit oi an in- stitution like the United Nations can promises of nations to reduce armament. especially to abandon production and use of certain arms. be mutually exchanged un der the strict obligation oi inter- national law."
4. Aerial inspection to ensure ob servance oi disarmament pledges has his approval. Apparently re- ferring to potential development oi President Eisenhower's "open skies" plan. he said the UN is in a .. to assume effective con- trol of the armaments of all na- tions and could "assure certain and effective knowledge of the production and military prepared- ness for war" with relative ease through air observation and photography.
ADDRESSES PBELATES
Regaliy robed in white and gold. the Pontiff spoke from his throne in the consisto y hall oi the Vatican palace. Twelve cardinal princes oi the church and more than a score of bishops and arch- bishops listened to his words.
"It is clear that in the present circumstances there can be veri- fied in a nation the situation wherein every effort tuavoidg war
VIP-1-TC
effective self-defence and with the hope of a favorable outcome against unjust attack-could not be considered unlawful."
The pontiff made it clear that his declaration approving defen- sive war did not mean that he
had veered from support of the cause of peace.
UNITY NEEDED
"No one." he said. "can sccuu us of favoring the stiffening oi opposing blocks. and still less d having in sotne fashion abandoned that mission of peace which flows from our apostolic office. . . We remain closely allied to the cues of peace, and God alone knows how much we yearn to be able to announce it in full and happy tones with the angels of Christ- mas."
The pontiff ssfd European sol- idarity is "a definite need of this period-a means of ensuring the whole world's peace and a fruit- hil share of its goods."
But such unity. he warned. can- not he achieved until all the asso- ciated nations "realize that the political and economic defeats of one can nowhere. in the long run. result in true gains for the others."
The Pontiff concluded his 7.000- word message on a note of en- couragement.
"Peace is the fruit of men's ef- fort. but also a priceless gift of God." he said.
He spoke of the "generous reac- tion towsrd the oppressed Hun- garian nation on the part of all our beloved sons. of charitable or ganizations, of entire nations. and also of fair-minded newspapers."

POHT SAID. Egypt (Reutersr-- The United Nations command an- nounced Sunday that most of its troops will be pulled out of Port
Said with in two days and sent to the Sinai Peninsula.
British and French forces com- pleted their withdrawal from Eg- ypt Saturday but the Israeli army still occupies Egyptian territory.
A UN Emergency Force com- nmnique in Cairo said:
"The second phase of the UNEF operation-following up the Is- raeli withdrawal from Sinai -- is expected to proceed with great speed.”
A fresh deployment of troops will be made on four roads start- ing today. The UN force now has 2.827 troops in Egypt.
Yugoslav troops will concen- trate in the north. along the road running from El Kantsra. near Ismailia. to El Artsh. on the coast. Colombian troops will operate on the central road from Ismailla to Bird Rod Salam. and Danish and Norwegian det hmenta -will ad- vance along the southern road mun Suez to the Mitls Pass. Ind- ian troops will tak tip positions along the cast was of the Gulf of Suez.
EGYPTIANS CHEERED
A symbolic detachment of the Egyptian army marched into Port Said to the cheers of joyous res- idents. British and French flags were trampled and burned.
Cairo Sunday night lifted the blackout which has darkened the capital for seven weeks and the Egyptian Suez Canal authority ad- vised its pilots to stand by to re- sume duty-although the canal is still blocked.
The pilots have not worked since the zAnglo-French interven- tion but have received full basic

MOORHOUSE MISSING
An Egyptian liaison officer with the UN Emergency Force head- quarters said he could not give in- formation about the whereabouts of Lieut. Anthony Moorehouse. 21- year-old British officer kidnapped by the Egyptian underground in Port Said before the withdrawal.
"The British made efforts to find where Moorhouse is but they failed." he said. "I can give no further information."
"Today is a big day in our his- tory. for the sun will rise on a vic- torious Egypt whose territory is p u r g e d of sggressors," com- mented the Cairo newspaper AI Ahram.
"Egypt best two big countries" it said in an editorial. "one the mistress of the seas and the other who thought it was mighty as Nero."
LAST TROOPS LEAVE
The semi-official Al Goumhottrta the Cairo newspaper which re flects the government's views. said the Port Said struggle dem- onstrated that "people cannot live without freedom and independ- ence."
An umbrella of night nghtor plsnes provided protective cover for the last few British soldiers and tanks Saturday as they moved aboard a landing craft-and sailed away on the blue Mediterranean.
No protection was needed. A few streaks of tracer fire from Egyptian guns lit the sky but none came from the beachhead.

OTTAWA ICPI-Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India avowed Sunday that Hungarian resistance to Soviet domination has shown the way to greater national free dom for many countries.

liir. Nchru said events in Hun- gnry have moved the Indian people as thcy have otltcr peoples. But nobody could help Hungary with war. i
What had impressed him most about thc Hungarian "episode." he said. was the influence of pas- sive and pcaceful resistance. This inllucnce was greater than that of armed rebellion.

The Indian prime minister,
wearing his traditional (ihandi cap. was interviewed by Edgar Mclnnis. president of the Cana- dian lnstitute of International AI- fairs. He later attended a recep- tion givcn by the Indian high com- missioner to Canada before leav- ing by air for London after a two- day visit to Ottawa. Mr. Nehru conferred with Prime Minister St. Laurent Saturday and with External Affairs Minister Pearson Sunday.

At another point. Mr. Nehru said recent world crises hQ increased tension and "brought us rather near the possibility of war."
But those crises hari also served to help clear the air and "if we survive the present. the future might be good."
Mr. Nehru said he doubts a step toward an Arab-Israeli set- tlement can be made before two qucslions are solvcd. Those were clearance of the Suez canal and the future of the canal.
URGES VISITS
He returned to one theme of his Saturday press conference: Relations between the United States and Communist China.
lie said it seems inevitable that ihc U.S. and China can't continue to ignore one another. A major step toward some understanding between the two countries would be establishment of facilities for Americans to visit China and for Chinese to visit the US.
Mr. Nehru made a spirited defence of India's policy of M53 alignment. No country could take the risk of a major war. Even a minor war could lead to a major war. Therefore minor wars and the "climate of war" must both be avoided.
At the Saturday press confer ence.he said the British Com- rnonweaith suffered a seven shock when Britain intervened militarily in Egypt. 'But the Commonwealth had stmrived t& shock.
