Urges Nations to Dis

CARDINALS TO
EXCHANGE VIEWS

On Return
BY HENRY WOOD
.stan Correspondent Gnued Press)


ROME. Dec. THAT Pope Bene-
dict hopes TO make the vatican a
clearing house for peace ideas
through which the war soon may
be ended. was the conclusion drawn
here today from the allocution de-
livered by his holiness at the open
ing OF the secret consistory.
The pope pointed the way to a
possible peace agreement by 6ug-
gesting an exchange of views by
the nations at war. This method of
arriving al peace, he said. had been
tried and found satisfactory in SINH
lar circumstances.
No medium through which these
peace ideas might be transmitted
was mentioned by the pontin. But
the general Interpretation today
was that Pope Benedict plans to
make the vatican such medium
and to employ the whole organiza-
tion OF the church in an effort TO
bring the warning powers into
agreement.
Pope Benedict's suggestions al
ready have borne fruit. Indeed be-
fore the cardinals gathered in con-
clave yesterday. peace talk is un.
derstood 10 have passed between
Cardinal Hartmann. OF Cologne, and
cardinals from the Allied countries.
with the papal sanction it is be-
Ia inf IN a
conversations during the week.
When the prelates return 10 their
homes each will be in a position TO
convey 10 his government the peace
views OF the others.
After recountiDg the difficulties
OF convoking the cardinals because
of the war. Pope Benedict turned TO
the subject OF peace. the principal
theme Of his allocution.
I'm this grave and historic mo-
ment before the assembly. notwith.
standing the ruin accommodating dur
ing the last rs months, notw;th-
standing that tho desire for peace
grows daily in many hearts and
that numberless families in their
sorrow long for It, Notwithstanding
that | have tried every means that
might hasten peace or allay discord.
nevertheless the fatal war still
grows in fury by land and sea, and
threatens unfortunate Armenia with
extreme ruin

versary Of the beginning of the war,
we addressed to the belligerent peo-
pies and their rulers, though It re-

"While we seek with all our re-
sources 20 alleviate the doleful con-
sequences we feel Obliged bv our
apostolic Office 20 inculcate anew
the only means which can quickly
put an end to the tremendous con-
fiagration.
Prepare for that peace which the.
whole OF humanity ardently wishes
for, that is. peace that is just and
lasting--not favorable alone To one
group or belligerents.
THE way which can really lead
to such a happy result and which
has already been tried and found
satisfactory in similar circum-
stances and which we have already
suggested In our original letter to
the powers, consists OF an ex-
change Of ideas. both direct and IN.

the subject. America. the Hope OF

Rabbi Morris Lazaron.
Mr.. Powys spoke In part as follows:
In America. you treat politics with

more lightly. As to politics in consid-
ering the views OF the Progressive.

ucally no difference between the par

in this country they are members OF

far distant when there will be a hight
between capital and labor and this
is likely to come after the close of
the present war.
Capitalism In this country has no
religious ideals nor has Il any coun-
try. Capital is ready TO resort 10
violence just the same as labor is.
and the conflict is not far distant. In
America. Socialism will come before

skeptical America is not the country

We live by faith. hope and charity,
and hope Is the outstanding feature
OF America. The goal or object which
makes progress possible in America.
is very different among the inSivid-
uais. some wanting one thing and
some another.
In America you are changing. ana
you are becoming individualistic, for
