Pope Pius XII
Harry S. Truman
President of the United States
His Holiness Pope Pius XII and President Harry S. Truman have
pledged themselves to w'ork jointly for a renewal of faith throughout
the world and for the establishment of universal peace. The mutual
pledges of the Holy Father and the President of the United States
were made in an historic exchange of letters made public by Myron C.
Taylor, President Truman’s personal representative at the Vatican. The
President’s letter, delivered to the Holy Father in a private audience
this week, said: “As the chosen leader of the people of the United
States I am privileged to work with Your Holiness and with every
agency of good the world over for an enduring peace. The President
explained that he believed the greatest need of the world today, funda
mental to all else, is a renewal of faith. The Pope, in his reply, said:
“All defenders of the rights of the human person will find whole
hearted cooperation from God’s Church, faithful custodian of eternal
truth, and loving mother of all.’*
