World Peace
VATICAN CITY, (#>)—Pope Pius
XII today portrayed “fruitless
conflicts succeeding one another”
and appealed to the world’s peace
makers to grasp the remaining op
portunities to restore normal re
lations among nations.

in their desire for order, peace
and reconstruction, are coming to
lose patience and hope,” the Pon
tiff said, but he admonished them:
“Fear not.”
“There is always room for a
peaceful settlement,” he added.
“May the rulers of the States not
let slip this opportunity; it may
be—God forbid-—the last oppor
tunity.” B
The Pope spoke after receiving
the Cardinals’ greeting of the day.
The address was broadcast in sev
eral languages by the Vatican ra
dio.
