in HITLER PLEA.
Declares SudetenS' Fate
Not Worth War

VATICAN CITY, Sept. 2S
Pope Plus XII for the first time
has publicly made known his at
titude in the German-Czech crisis
with an indirect appeal to Adolf
Hitler's human reason" in behalf
of world peace.
The plea took the form Of an
editorial in the Vatican's semiof.
ticial newspaper, OSServatore Ro'
mano, calling on Hitler to dc
nothing that might precipitate a
catastrophe conflict.
NOT WORTH WAR
Referring to the Prague-ac.
cepted Anglo-French proposals to
cede Sudetenland to Germany
through international machinery,
Osservatore contended the fate Of
the 3,500,000 SudetenS is not
worth the carnage of war, saying:
"The previous Anglo-F n h
proposals have brought everyone,
whether in favor of Prague or
Berlin, to ask whether for the
sake of 3,500,O00 persons an in
calculable number should be sac
rificed and Europe should be
struck deathly blow.
PLEA TO HITLER
"The answer has been that 1t
would not be human. Yet, al
though Hitler and Chamberlain
expressly stated that (Czecho-
slovak President) Bepes must
maintain his promises, the queS-
ton comes up again and this time
in the following form:
"Is it possible that millions OF
men, among whom there is no
hate nor reason for conflict, mil
lions of men living in peace,
must throw themselves against
one another to their destruction,
not to maintain the sovereignty
of a state over a people not be-
longing to it, but simply to sup
port a date-October II"
The Vatican newspaper thus
urged Hitler not to launch armed
action because he had set an ex"
piration date-October lin his
