VATICAN CITY, Feb. 15.-
Attempts to indicate that Pope
Plus XII favors the Axis powers
in their war against England were
bitterly criticized today by Osser.
vatore Romano, semiofficial Vati-
can newspaper.
The publication denounced per
sons responsible for carrying out
a systematic campaign of inven-
tons of falsehoods" tending with
out foundation to indicate that the
Pontiff has openly thrown his sup
port to the Axis. =
"Some persons" said Osserva-
tore Romano. ''have dared to
spread false news. such rs claims
that the Holy Father has de-
clared obligatory the adaptation
of a new European situation.
and also claims that the Holy
See since remote times has
fought democratic forms Of gov
eminent"
HITS OTHER FALSE NEWS
The newspaper included in this
same category of false news" the
allegation that the life OF the
Catholic Church in Germany is
more than satisfactory"
"It In also falsely alleged"
said Osservatore, that n pontifi-
cal representative brought the
encouragement Of the Holy
Father to officers and men OF a
nation which had passed under
the flag OF another belligerent,
and also that the Pope blessed
the arms of single nation.
'Tn addition, It has been
falsely published that the Pope
urged France to avoid ruin by
making an immediate, separate
peace.
NO STAND ON SPAIN
Recently II also has been
falsely alleged that the congre-
cation OF the holy office has
taken stand In connection with
extension of Spanish racial
policy to American countries.
I'VE have documents In the
Spanish language permitting
enumeration of other similar
attempts to distort the truth"
1t was learned reliably today
that the Pope has been sounding
out belligerent powers on a com
mon plan TO restrict bombing o.
cities to spare civilian inhabitants
The pontiff's efforts have beer
aimed at bringing about an agree
ment by which cities in which the
civilians have been particularly
hard hit would be spared.
Vatican sources were unable &c
state whether the proposal hac
achieved any success.
