should rule Italy, the hands of Moscow would be
laid on the Holy Father The vicar of Christ
would be driven from Rome since he could not
remain in a position of subservience. If the Com

therefore, wind in Italy, gale of the spirit and
the Italians, who have no longer much to live for
but have much faith to die for, will begin to march
in defense of the Holy Father as the Crusaders
marched to the old battle cry: Christians are
right"
THAT is the vivid picture we have of postwar
Europe today through Italian eyes as recorded
by Mr.. Bullitt.
And if the great catastrophe of another war
should come to us because of the march of Stains
Red Cossacks across Europe, are the Italians and
Mr.. Built so far from the truth when they state
that that new war will be ascribed to the tragic

and at one time was himself extremely friendly to
the Russian revolution.
