T otalitarianism
_ i
VATICAN CITY, - Pope
Pius XII reaffirmed yesterday the
Roman Catholic church’s opposi- i
tion to totalitarianism.
He spoke to 1,000 auto workers
from Turin and Rome at the sum
mer apostolic palace at Castel j
Gandolfo.
The Pope assailed those who, in
“declaring that their own system !
is the only one truly ‘social,’ do not ,
defend the personal dignity of the j
worker, but make of his prdouc- j
tive capacity a simple object of j
which society disposes at its will.”
He said religion is the true guar

Chiang Kai-Shek declared today
China “must accept the lessons of
defeat by the communis's and
fight on.’’ The weary Chinese
president gave no hint of surren
der although the Reds had won
Manchuria, captured Mukden and
crumbled his Manchurian armies
in a series of wholesale defeats.
Despite the manifold setbacks,
Chiang asserted the “overall war
situation does not give cause for
worry.” He declared, in spite of
evidence to the contrary,” the com
munists are not yet in a position
to menace North China.”

Israel controlled all northern
Palestine after a two-day blitz. U.
N. observers said the Jews invad

this. The Arab “libera* ion army"
of Kawzi Pasha A1 Kaukji, a force

“hundreds killed and hundreds
taken prisoner,” a Jewish spokes
man said.
The Jewish victory in the north,
coupled with the impressive tri
umph in the south over Egypt, se
cured more than ever the new
states existence. The campaigns
made a mockery of the United Na

recess until Tuesday, the U. S.
election day. The anti-communist
newspaper Telegraf of Berlin said
a Republican victory would

the world, it makes little differ

American imperialism are served
by Truman or Dewey.”
