 uatliRai vegetation and well suite to be cultivated by mhn to satisfy ms needs for civil activities, and more than once it Is inevitable that some families migrating from one spot or another should go elsewhere m search of q new homeland.

 The Pope referred to the terln T0yarum of Pope Leo XIII, Issued on Hay ib, 1891, and he based ms adGgass on that document, the bOth annivt rsary of which is being ob. served at the Vatican.
 Benefit Both Nations
 His Holiness contended that the emigration from crowded tO un- crowded nations would result In mutual benefit 10 both nations.
 "Tf the two parties" he said, "those who agree to leave their na- tive land, and those who agree 10 admit newcomers, remain anxious to eliminate as far as possible hll obstacles to the birth and growth or real confidence between the country Of emigration and that of immigrh- ton, oil thoBe affected by such transferance of people and places will profit by the transaction; fam. ilies will receive a plot of ground which will be n native land for them in the true sense of the word, while thickly inhabited countries will be relieved and their peoples will nee quire new friends in foreign colin- tries; and states which receive the emigrants will acquire industrious citizens.
 'In this war nations which give and those which receive will both contribute to the increased good or man and the progress Of human culture"
 The pontiff laid down three social and economic principles on which he hoped a new world order would be founded once the present con- flict has ended-~a more equal dis" tribution of material goods, the in- hercnt rights of workers and the integrity and well being Of the fam- fly.
 Praise TOtaIitarIans
 Usually well informed Vatican quarters interpreted the speech as praising the totalitarian countries for their more equal distribution of goods among their populations, while at the same time cenBoring any tendency to over-regulate inc dividual life. By contrast, his state ment that nations possessing rich material wealth did not always pr0- vide prosperity for it's individuals, was interpreted in many quarters as having referred to the United States.
 The Pope defended private own ership of property as necessary both to the dignity of the individual and the prosperity of the nation, and thus indirectly denounced Commu- nism. Regarding state intervention in labor problem, he declared that an individuals right to work Is a natural and not sOcial law and therefore the state should safeguard and respect the personal character of labor.
 State Intervention
 He said. however, that state in- tarvention in labor problems is Jus- tifiablc only if the state respects in- dividnal rights such as the right to worship.
 "In any case" he said. "every le- Rltimate and beneficial interference of the state in the field Of labor should be such as to safeguard and respect It's personal character, both in broad outlines, and as far as pos- sible in what concerns ils exscu- li0n.p
 After developing these principles. lne Pope concluaed: HXh6ee are the principles beloved ahiIdfnn, with which we should wish sNAn today t0 share in the future 0r- gan|Naflon Of that now order which |he world especig and hopes will llIss from the seethlug feFment or hs rfe1ent struggle to set psoples 70 tst M neaee and luellce."
