is THIRD ONSLAUGHT
UPON NATIONALISM

CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy,
July 3O-(UP)-Pope Plus Hl
yesterday threw down an indirect
challenge to Premier Benito Mus
soIini with a public condemnation
Of ltaly's "unhappy imitation" OF
Gcrmany's anti-Jewish measures
and racial theories.
He warned against any attempt
to attack the Catholic action --
lay Catholics ~ opposed to the
clergy the statement that:
Il beSeech you not to strike
the Catholic action for your own
good because in striking il you
strike the Pope and he who strikes
the Pope dies. This is Il truth
which history often has demon
Strated."
The Punt!ff said Catholic &C
ton, like the church itself. is uni
verSal and can not be nationals
tic or racist, thereby implying
that members Of the Catholic &C
ton i'm Italy can not subscribe to
the new Fascist racial credo' Of
fered last week to "defend the
race against all contamination"
1t was the oPntiff's third out
spoken attack on excessive ma
tionaliSm and raciSm IN two weeks
and was coupled with reports that
he might issue an encycllcal on
the subject soon.
His statements, made to Il group
Of young missionary students. re
called the nervousness of his con
flict with the Italian government
in 1881 regarding the status Of
the Catholic action organization.
Many Catholics believed that
the Pontiff f0reseeS unpleasant
situations brewing in Italo-Vati-
can relations.
Fascist officials refused to
comment on the POpe'S remark
that he had just received an I'M
portant communication" leading
to his attack and warning, but
the general impression seemed to
be that he had advance informa-
ton Of some projected attack OH
the Catholic action.
FasciSts admitted that h t
Pope's words were strong ones
and that they could not foresee
their consequences inasmuch as
MuSsolini obviously would not
permit Catholic Fascists to make
mental reservations regarding the
governments racial measures.
