Pope With FISH
AGAINST REDS
Tells u. S. Bosses to
Suppress Communists

Reports from the Vatican yester-
day said that pope of the Roman
Catholic church had uttered a sol
emn warning to the capitalists of
the United States to beware If the
spread of Bolshevism." This was
given in an interview by the pope
to Monsignor John A. Ryan, of the
catholic university at Washington,
d. c.
"The people of the United States
do not realize how far Boishevism
had spread" the Pope asserted
forcibly.
The Pope added that when he was
in London some years ago before
becoming pontiff he was startled
by the hold that Bolshevism already
had obtained there.
His Holiness warned America 10
beware lest anything similar hap
pen to your own country"
Mons. Ryan said the Pontiff show
ed considerable knowledge of con-
ditions in the United States, being
fully acquainted with business de-
velopments of the last year.
The Pope's warning followed half
an hours conversation with Mon
signor Ryan and was precipitated
during conversation about the stock
market reversal of last October.
Replying to question put to him
by the Pontiff, the Washington
clergyman said there were at least
two million unemployed persons in
the United States. The Pope
countered, This is just the right
time for the spread of Rolshevism.
The people in the United States dc
not realize how far it has gone"
