This is the opinion of Archbishop
Bonzano, apostolic delegate and the
pope's personal representative in
America, given the United Press to
day.
ut is an armistice--to persuade
the warning nations to lay down
their arms and cease their fratricidal
slaughter that the holy father seeks,
Bonzano said. 'Once they have laid
aside the sword to secure peace
through justice and persuasion, they
will never take it up again"
The amplification Of the pope
first message, given to the public
through the United Press yesterday,
was the holy fathers answer to those
who sought to misinterpret and mis-
construe his first message. 1t was
also an answer to the charge thai
the proposals were inspired by one
of the belligerent powers, Archbishop
Bonzano believes.
II have received no Information OF
the amplification except through the
papers, he said. But il 1t is
authentic and / believe it is. then it
was the holy fathers answer. 1t
also clears up some points which
have been subject to misinterpreta-
position regarding Belgium"
patt rir,rr 10 fh1 n css, n
peace, Archbishop Bonzano said:
Nations are like individual men.
They will never surrender through
force things which they would yield
through persuasion or from a sense
Of justice.
For, instance Trent and Trieste
and AlsaceLorraine France desires
Alsace. Italy seeks Trieste and
Trent, while Germany and Austria
may fight to the bitter end before
surrendering these through force,
believe they would relinquish them If
they could do so without admitting
defeat.
TT is to secure such peace-one
in which each nation secures what it
desires by the abandonment of other
ambitions-that the pope strives.
The holy father, by his note, obvious
ly intends that the territories in qucs-
ton be allowed to go to that nation
which is most acceptable to them,
providing their disposition is NOT
made through force of arms. A fore
ible peace can never By a lasting
peace"
That the papal proposals ultimately
will result in peace, is Archbishop
Bonzano's firm belief.
