Pope Pius Endorses Union Of Free Peoples

Show mm D o'clock.

By Prank Brutto

VATICAN CITY. Dec. 25 -(AP) ,,P(ip9 Pius endorsed the union of mg pcoples for self defence in a broadcast Christmas message Sat- ...-day. He called also for a return at mutual trust in international affairs to counter dlssension that reaches to the very ends of the earth."

--we believe that the close union Ill all peoples who are masters of their own destiny and who are united by sentiments of reciprocal il'llSl and mutual assistance is the

.01.. means for the defence of peace and the best guarantee of its re-establishment," the Pont-iff said.

At another point. he stressed

that the Roman Catholic Church desires to smooth the way for

friendly relations between the East and West: "For her (the Church), l-Inst

flilfi west do not represent oppos-

heritage to which both have gen- erously contributed and to which both are called to contribute in the future also."

Burial Place of st. Pefar

He reiterated - more positively -his statement of Jan. 30, 190. that the cupola of St. Peter's Basilica rises over the tomb of St. Peter, prince of the apostles revered by Catholics as the first Pope. Whether bones found at the side of the tomb were those of St. Peter remains a question.

The Pope described the 1950 holy year as one of truly incom- parable events that surpassed "the most sanguine hopes." It was the Church's 25th. The first was held in 1300. '

The Christmas message-Pope Pius' 12th since he became the spiritual leader of more than 400.- 000.000 Roman Catholics- was de- livered on the eve of the closing of

he ideals, but share a common

IIIDDUH 0! '"

SANDRINGHNM. Norfolk, Eng- land, Dec. 25 - (CP) m The King said in a world-wide broadcast to- day that mankind must make the most momentousiciioice of its his- tory and decide between the creeds of love and hatred.

"For if our-'world is to survive in any sense that makes survival worthwhile, it must learn to love, not to (hate-to create. not to des- troy." he said.

Tl?9A Km! was delivering his lfiifn Christmas message in a broadcast from his study at Sandringvhavm. his Norfolk estate. There. as is usual, he is spending Christmas surround- ed -by members of his family.

He spoke of the "grim shadow of war Changing over the world, making it difficult to feel the hap- -piness and merriment natural to Christmas.

These troubled times often rc- minded him of John Biinyan's "Pilgrim's Progress." For. like the -pilgrim in that book. "we have Eons forward. only to fall back.”

”Like him. we have fallen back only to press forward once more," iihc King added.

"We have passed through the valley of the shadow of death; -but always, with the determina- tion natural to our race and train- ing, we have kept our eyes fixed on the far-off delectable moun- tains of peace and goodwill."

The King said it was not sur- prising that the individual pil- grim - "the Christian of that great book" - should feel almost over- whelmed by his own insignificance and bewildered -by continual blows of fate. '

But he counselled his listeners .not to take "Faint Heart" as their friend and guide. but to adopt as their motto:

"Whatever comes or does not come, I will not be afraid." '

Important now. he declared. in the spirit in which each one carries out his appointedt task. He added:

"Each one of us will have to de- termine whether to consolidate what past generations have achiev- ed for us, or to acquiesce in its being brought to nought: to pre- serve lihe spiritual inheritance common to our mother country and ilier kindred nations, or to witness its extinction.

"Phat inheritance is not the pro- duce of any rigid system. it is something far more human than that. It is the collective expres- sion of the lives of countless thous- ands of men and women. many of idiom quite unknown to fame. who (have labored incessantly for the good of their fellow: . . ."
