To find what the grief is and help
when you can?
Did you stop when he asked you
to give him a lift
Or were you SO busy you left him
to shift?
Oh, know what you mean, what
you say may be true,
But the test of our manhood is
what did you do?
Did you reach out a hand? Did
you find him the road,
Or did you just let him go by with
his load?

VATICAN CITY, December T.
Pope Plus, gaining strength in his
partially paralyZed limbs, asked his
physicians today to permit him to
leave his bed at the earliest possible
moment.
He signed several papers during the
morning but deferred action on others,
saying he would handle them tomor-

to remain abed and spare himself

Likewise he showed great interest
in newspaper reports Of his Illness.

Milani said the holy fathers condi-
ton was satisfactory"
His holiness passed q tranquil
night, reposing we'll" the short bull

him this morning found his condition

Specialist Considered.
Vatican prelates said the Pope had
not yet agreed to receive the Milan
specialist, Father Agostino Gemelli,
who was called for consultation Sat-
urday.
1t was reported, however, that Fa-
ther Gemelli was received late yester-
day, but, perhaps, was unable to make
q medical examination.
His doctors insisted that quiet was
necessary so the turgid condition Of his
legs might have q chance to Ieadjust
itself.
The 3OO,OOO.000 Catholics Of the
world prayed for his recovery during
Sunday services that heralded Advent.
The holy father had insisted he be
allowed to take part in the Vatican
services for the beginning of Advent
today and the ceremony was prepared
as if he were to be present.
Blood Circulation Better.
A reported improvement in blood
circulation allayed fears of the Vatican
City household that the blood clot
which developed in his left leg Friday
night might spread through the circu-
latory system to the heart.
The holy fathers personal orders
that work should 60 on as usual were
SO adamant and clear cut that the
entire Vatican staff was kept ready
today to attend him, giving him his
benedictions either from his bed OF

The Pope saw members of his family
and conferred with the papal secre-
tary of state, Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli
on matters of administrative routine.
Later in the morning Father Gemell
left Rome for Milan.
His departure was interpreted on ont
hand as evidence of an improvement ir
the Holy Fathers condition; on the
other hand, some considered it proof
the Pope would not permit q rnedica
examination to be made.
Count Franco Ratti, the Pope''
nephew, who is technical director OF

A broad neutrality plan proposed
yesterday by the United States dele
cation at the Inter-American Peace
Conference at Buenos Aires would 60
farther in one important respect
restriction of trade with belligerents-
than this country's present neutrality
act.
Following lines of the neutrality law,
the proposal automatically would
forbid signatory neutrals, in the event
of war between two or more American
republics, to export arms, munitions
or implements of war to the fighting
nations.
But in addition the plan would leave
neutral powers free to impose pro
hibitions or restrictions on trade and
commerce between them and bellig-
erents."
The administration had sought sim
liar permissive authority in the neu-
trality law, but Congress refused it.
The projected pact would set up
permanent consultative committee,
made up of the secretaries of state or
ministers of foreign affairs of each of
the 81 American republics. 1t would
be charged to use its good ofiices and
mediation" in attempting to adjust
disputes through present instruments
for pacific settlement.
The neutrality plan would set up
this method of trying to work out an
amicable agreement on differences
between American nations:
Disputants first would try to reach
an understanding through usual diplo-
matte channels.
Failing in that, they would submit
their problem to the consultative COM
mittee. which could, ct the request of
any signatory member, remind the
parties at odds of their obligations
under existing treaties. The COM
mittee could offer its services as con-
ciliator.
Any hostilities would be forbidden
while the dispute was under consider
alton by the committee.
Should the committee fail to find q
