Pope Reported Told
By Nazis That They
Will Fight for Rome
By the Associated Press,

oS the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. "A thinly
veiled warning that the Germans
intend to defend Rome step by
step, whatever the destruction
entailed, is reported to have been
conveyed to Pope Plus XII by
the Nazis, who apparently have
been trying for some time to per-
suade the Pontiff to come to
Germany.
The Ankara radio last night said
the warning had been handed the
Pope by Baron Ernest Won Weizsaec-
ker, German Ambassador to the
Vatican, in the form Of a statement
from Marshal Albert Kesselring de-
claring the ultimate fate Of Rome
necessarily vii, be subject to mill
tary considerations"
At the same time. the Vatican
radio made 1t plain that the Pope
has no intention of leaving Rome.
come what may. In a broadcast
recorded here last night by the AS
sociated Press the Vatican said:
''Pius XII, since the very BEGIN
ming of the war. has refused to
abandon his Rome, always wishing
to be present and partake in all the
moral and material sufferings of
the world, bleeding from the great
torture.
May Be Answer to Nazis.
THE Pope has always wanted
Rome to be in the front line of
spiritual resurrection. He has given
the most tangible proof of his pro-
found pastoral charity during the
raids on Rome, bringing to the
stricken inhabitants words of faith
and of resignation as we'll as mate
rial aid profuse with sovereign gen.
erosity."
Whether this broadcast was in
tended as response to the message
said to have been given the pontiff
by Won Weizsaecker was not clear.
The tone Of the statement, however,
seemed to confirm recurring reports
that the Germans have been trying
to prevail on the Pope to come to
Germany.
German propagandists, who have
been fond of picturing Hitler as
Europe's great bulwark against
Communism, presumably would rel
ish an opportunity to represent him
TO the world as the defender of the
Popes person.
Following Soviet Charges.
Dispatches from Bern, mean
while, quoted the newspaper La
Suisse of Geneva as saying that
Vatican City is following closely the
campaign of the Soviet press ac-
cusing it of Fascist leanings.
The newspaper recalled that a
recent issue of Izvestia, organ of the |
Soviet government in Moscow had
criticized the Vatican for allegedly
favoring Fascism as we'll as exercis-
ing its influence in Spain. In reply
to this accusation, La Suisse said, |
Vatican circles cite the fact that |
the Fascist press is continually at
tacking the holy see on the grounds
that it opposes the new Fascist gov
ernment of Benito Mussolini.
These opposing accusations, it was
argued, demonstrate that the Vati-
can has as matter of fact kept
aloof from politics.
La Suisse said the Vatican was
carefully following the Soviet press
campaign in an endeavor to learn
its objectives.
