The Vatican, he said, is the. world’s greatest “listening post” for* what Occurs in capitals and on diplomatic fronts, its representatives are in all lands, and “the President made available to this nation the helpfulness of the Vatican when he sent his personal. representa tive to Rome.”’ Bishop O'Hara referred to the Pope as the foe of Fascism, Nazi- ism and all other forms of totali tarian government.
