Vatican Remains Silent
Regarding Possible
Bombing of Rome
(Radio; N. C. W. C. News Service)
VATICAN CITY.—Remarks at
tributed to Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden of England in recent
days have recalled to attention the
subject of the aerial bombardment
of Rome, but the Vatican main
tains an absolute reserve and all
signs indicate its attitude on the
question is unchanged.
Air. Eden has been quoted as
saying Prime Minister Churchill
had made it plain that “we have as
much right to bomb Rome as the
Italians had to bomb London, and
we should not hesitate to do so to
the best of our ability and as
heavily as possible if the course of.
the war should render such action
convenient and helpful."
No precautions whatever have
been taken against air raids either
in Vatican City itself or in Vati
can buildings located in the City
of Rome.
Meanwhile, it is noted here that
the matter is now interesting to
the German propaganda agencies.
Berlin's Europaischer Kultur-
diemst, commenting on Osserva-
tore Romano's quotation of an ar
ticle in the Lausanne Tribune re
garding the gravity of a bom
bardment directed against Rome,
asserts that Anglo-Saxons will ig
nore the desire to have Rome
spared, and accuses English Cath
olics of failure effectively to de
fend the sacred character of Rome.
There has been considerable
comment on this subject in the
Ssviss press. Easier Nachrichten,
referring to recent rumors regard
ing Vatican efforts to sound out
the belligerents regarding the
sparing of Rome, says ‘‘not only
persons with religious sentiments
but also all who love culture and
have the regard for the destiny of
irreplaceable values that they have
for human right would warmly
welcome any such effort.”
