Avoid Force; ForIey
Granted Audience
By the Associated Press.

CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy. Aug
l9.-Pope Plus XII implored a set
tlement OF Europe's critical troubles
tnat would avert war today in ad-
dressing Italian pilgrims Just before
he received United States Postmas-
ter General James A. Farley in
private audience.
Alter the audience, Mr.. Farley
said he was convinced of the pom
tlff's anxiety for world peace and
that the pontiff was doing every
thlng possible to maintain it.
The Pope told his hearers in the
public audience that he maintained
his trust that those who govern the
nations would refrain from an "ap-
peal to force" He kept his hope,
he said, that feelings of modera-
ton and objectivity would serve to
avert a conflict"
Found Pope in Good Health.
He made his fervent plea in i'm
parting his blessing on more than
1000 Italian pilgrims who came to
his summer palace for the 25th an
nlversary of the death of Pope
Plus x.
The holy father recognizes the
seriousness of the situation and the
burden he must bear in striving
for peace Postmaster General
Farley said, but I found him in
good health and am confident he
will measure up to his task by con-
tinuing to counsel for an amicable
settlement of European problems.
The Pope is in a position Mr.
Farley added, ito make a great con-
tribution towards the maintenance
of peace because of his knowledge
Of the world through his travels,
especially to the United States and
South America"
Striving to Prevent War.
In his public audience the Pope
recalled that he had been striving
to prevent war ever since his elec-
ton to the papacy last March. His
remarks were published tonight in
L L'Osservatore Romano, Vatican
newspaper.
In the present hour, which re-
news acute anxiety and trembling of
heart" he said, I'VE ourself, from
the first day of our pontificate. have
attempted and done what was in our
power to ward off the danger of war
and cooperate in the attainment Of
a solid peace. founded on justice,
which would safeguard the liberty
and honor Of peoples.
I'VE have even, within the limits
of possibility and so far as the
duties of our apostolic ministry al
lowed us, laid aside other tasks and
other preoccupations which weigh
on our minds" the Pope continued.
Trusts in Rulers.
1--WE have imposed prudent eau
ton on ourself. in order not to make
more difficult or impossible for us
in any way the work for peace, con-
scious of all in this field that we
owed and owe to the children of the
Catholic church and all humanity.
I'VE do not want nor do we have
the heart to give up the hope that
feelings of moderation and objec-
tivity will serve to avert a conflict
which, according to every forecast,
would exceed even the past in de-
struction and material and spiritual
ruin. We do not cease to trust that
the rulers of peoples in decisive
hours will refuse to assume the in
expressible responsibility of an ap-
peal to force.
But above all, human hopes rest
