U. S. Derived Real Benefits From
Myron Taylor’s Mission to Vatican
NEW YORK. —<NC)— There
can be no doubt of the benefits
derived by the United States from
contact with the Government of
Vatican City, Dr. Leo Francis
Stock of Washington, D. C., dis
tinguished authority on American
history, wrote in a letter to the
New York Times, citing the fact
that Myron Taylor during wartime
was able to furnish the President
with the first positive information
tljat Japan was ready for capitula
tion. ‘‘The importance of this in
formal ion alone justified Mr.
Taylor’s appointment.” he said.
Answering a writer to the Times
who had criticized the Taylor mis
sion, Dr. Stock raised the ques
tion of whether "meddling by any
religious group in the rights and
prerogatives of our Government
to he represented at any court in
the world is not in it«elf contrary
to the very principle” qf separa
tion of Church and State which
they are ’’-io eager to uphold.”
“Vatican City is a Government
not only do facto but also de
jure,” Dr. Stock points out. “The
legitimate character of that Gov
ernment, measured by the. law qf
nations and the force of histori
cal events, cannot be questioned.
The Pope as head of this state
enjoys the rights, privileges and.
immunities of any ruler. Corres
pondingly, the United States has
the right to be represented at that
court.”
“The Vatican has the best in
telligence service in ail the
world,” he stated further. “It has
the means of gathering informa
tion from all corners of the globe
not possessed by any other nation.
The importance of maintaining
contact with such a news center
cannot be overestimated, and es
pecially at this period of political
and social unrest.”
In the same Issue of the Times
in a letter signed by eight Protes
tant editors and two other Prot
estant leaders attacking Archbish
op James H. Ryan of Omaha for
a previous letter to the Times in
support of the Taylor mission,
calling for a Congressional inves
tigation into the “financing, aif-
’.horization and responsibilities” of
he Taylor mission, and demand
ing the “cancellation of the
status” of the Apostolic Delegate
to the United State*.
