Editorial

THE Republican Party in its
i assemblies is wasting a lot
Of time in trying TO decide
what kind of international
alliances the United States
should enter into now or after
the war.
There are two burning
questions involved in this sit
-uatien.
One question is whether the
United States wants any kind
Of international alliance what
soever.
The second question is
whether the United States
can get the kind Of interna-
tional alliance it wants even
if it wants one.
To begin with, ANY per-
manent international alliance
means a complete departure
from the tried and proven
policy of the United States
for $50 years

on earth for a century and

Report
Pope IS
Captive

LONDON, Sept. Is CUP)-Ger-
man parachutists in defiance Of
Vatican City's neutrality have
mounted guard in ST Peters
Square, in effect making Pope
Plus XII the prisoner of Marshal
KesSelring, the German COM
maHder Bern dfSpatct1 said
today.
An official German news agency
dispatch broadcast by the Berlin
radio and relayed in a British
broadcast sought 10 justify the
action by reporting that the
parachutists we're charged with
preventing by force of arms any
one from penetrating into Vati-
can City presumably reference
to the Allies.
CALLS IN CARDINALS
The German dispatch said the
parachutists were armed with
anti-tank guns and were facing
Rome. The Lateran treaty gave
the Italians free use of ST. Peters
Square, the broadcast said and
thus permitted its use also by
German soldiers who have re-
placed the Italian police -
The Pope was understood 10
have called in cardinals and high
Catholic prelates who have been
residing outside to live within the
Vatican pending Qualification Of
the situation. "
The Swiss newspaper Bern
Bund said Luigi Cardinal Mag
lione, papal secretary of state,
convoked the sacred college Of
cardinals in lengthy session yester-
day TO discuss the possibility Of
Rome becoming a battlefield.
MAY LEAVE VATICAN
Though no decisions were re-
vealed, usually well informed
sources in Bern said German
prelateS had been requested to
take up the matter OF possible
transfer of the Vatican elsewhere
in the event that fighting breaks
out in Rome.
Italian Catholics were described
as hopeful that the Pope could be
persuaded TO leave the Vatican
for his summer residence at Castel
Gandolfo until the worst is over. -
but some observers doubted that
Kesselring would permit the
PonufS departure on the theory
that his continued presence would
mitigate chance of a wholesale
Allied b0mbardment of Rome.

MOULD we have accom-

we had had a hard and fast
alliance?
Certainly not.
And is it not conceivable
that, impelled by the conf
dence-the overconfdence-
which an unbreakable alliance
might create-England could
possibly get into complica-
tions and wars into which we
would not feel il our moral
duty to follow her?
Wherefore, the alliance
would not do any good to us
or TO England, and might do
both nations a great deal Of
harm.
1t might easily become a

sentation in government. Brother

tiations and incentive pay that

greater earnings to the workers.
Reverend Marley gave the invo-
cation and later spoke on the
subject of going back to the So
called good old days" after this
war, or going forward with prog

in a worldwide conflict to pre-
serve and protect such rights.
Undoubtedly the most important
one we possess is the right to

or have such a right, if we fail
to use it.
