the War VIGOROUSLY Make the Peace PERMANENTLY Bring Our Boys Home PROMPTLY
The Pope Speaks of Peace

This evil spirit is already across
the path of nations, such as Poland,
Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia and Ro-
mania, to which peace and liberation
have been mockery.
There has been no redemption of
these nations from oppression and
violence.
There has been no respect for
their inviolable rights.
THERE has been only deception
and betrayal of their people, who
have become the worlds most help
less and hopeless victims of indie
scribable suffering-not through the
oppression and violence of their first
conquerors, BUT OF THEIR SUP.
POSED LIBERATORS.
eve beg God to put an end to so
mighty scourge, to bring about the
great and much desired regeneration
of deeply lOounded humanity and to
hasten the coming of a true ard last.
ing peace" said the Pope.
But we do not accomplish these
ends, or even proceed in their direc-
ton, by putting the blight of per-
verted peace upon those nations,
which in themselves have no power
to prevail against it, however just
their cause.
The Pope will probably be called
a "perfectionist" by Americans who
have condoned and associated them
selves with this perversion of peace
and liberation, that being the new
epithet employed by internationalists
in this country to disparage and dis,
credit all who oppose them.

LIE WILL be called much worse by

- Pravda and Izvestia, the Com
munist organs of Soviet Russia which
have venomously assailed him on
previous occasions of lesser impor-
tance, and will not spare him on this
occasion of his most truthful and
righteous pronouncement.
BUT THE POPE is RIGHT.
The civilized peoples of the
world, wanting peace and justice and
knowing these desirable and vital
things have already been denied to
nations and peoples most deserving
of them, KNOW he is right.
Peace is not to be found, as the
Pope says, under the auspices of
those "who would Danish from the
earth the reign of Christ, substitut-

WATERBURY CALM
DESPITE RUMORS
Police Mobilize for Emer=
gency After False Report
of Nazi Surrendering

An unofficial announcement Of
Germany's surrender flashed by the
Associated Press last Saturday
night threw the city into the high
gear of excitement and anticipation
until its official denial almost two
hours later by President Harry S.
Truman.
The false" report flashed by all
radio stations throughout the nation
resulted in thousands of Waterbury
residents standing-by in keen ex-
element awaiting the final and true
report. One hour and 40 minutes
after the APP report President Tru-
man issued the official denial from
his quarters in the White House.
Locally, there were no outward
demonstrations as the people await
ed more confirming information
than already received. About 95
policemen off-duty at the time were
alerted and called to the station
as were about 20 auxiliaries. When
the official report was given the
men were taken off alert but the
majority remained at their posts.
Supt. Daniel j. Carson and his
deputy Fred Hickey were at the
local station ready for anticipated
action.
War hardened emotions enabled
the city's residents to accept the
JOY -dissipating official denial and
they settled back to await grimly
that day, that hour and moment
when the news of Germany's I'M
conditional surrender would be
joyful fact.
