 Such positivist theoriea he said had in common "that they consider the state or Its representatives as the absolute authority. exempt from criticism. even if their acts are in violation of Christian and human laws"
 '"rhe church still condemns Marx. iSt Socialism" he said.
 (At Bern, Switzerland, this was received as "the church condemned and still condemns Communism and Nationalism.
 C'These orders contrast with God" i" Berne said the Pope said).
 Those who aim at building a new world must fight for the right of free choice Of government and re. ligious order" he continued. "They must refuse that the state should make of individuals a herd of whom the state disposes as If they were lifelesS things
 "All barriers of prejudice must be smashed.
 We must not lament but recon. struct. Tho new war cry must be God wills it, like that of the Cru saders.

 He said that international agree ments made to regulate the conduct of war and also to limit war to ac- tual combatapts and safeguard the fate of prisoners have in many in- stances remained a dead letter."
