Pope Plus XII said today that the

crimes.
Addressing the College of Cardi-

divided into two parts-one a
strong condemnation of IL years
of Nazism, entitled 1.-THE Church

other a plea for a just peace, en-
titled Looking to The Future"
In his plea that small nations
be entitled to refuse to accept
a new political or cultural system
which is decisively rejected by the
great majority of people" the
Pope did not refer to any specific
countries. At one point, however,
he mentioned "sad news" that has
reached the Vatican from the Yu
goslav provinces of Croatia and

Tito's government.
