KnowIand Returns,
Warns Free World
Must Stand Firm
BY the Associated Press

Senator Knowland, Republi-
can, Of California, ended a five
week tour Of the free worlds
capitals yesterday with a plea
for the anti-C Communist nations
to stand firm"
II have come back with the
very firm belief that if there ever
was q time when it was import
ant for the free world to stand
firm, this is the time," Senator
Knowland declared after he ar
rived at National Airport.
The California Senator. Re-
publican floor leader, said he
will report directly to President
Eisenhower and Secretary Dulles
on his conversations with top
diplomats in IL countries, most
of them in the Far East.
Until he makes such a report,
possibly tomorrow, Senator
Knowland said he would not
discuss the findings that he
made.
Aides said Senator Knowland
would remain in Washington
until tomorrow midnight, when
he will accompany Vice Presi-
dent Nixon to California on the
first leg of Mr.. NiXon'S 72-day
tour of the Orient.

The Pontiff said that even in
a just war not all means whic&
would lead to victory are de-
fenSible lin the eyes of those
who have an exact and reason
able concept of justice"
The Pope listed among means
that are not defenSible: The
mass shooting of innocent host
ages, racial massacres, mass de-
portations, violence against t
women and children and round
ups Of workers to be used as
slaves.
I'm these last decades" said
the Pope, I'VE have seen mas
sacres out of racial hatred, the
horrors and cruelties of concen-
tration camps have been re-
vealed to the whole world, we
have heard of the liquidation
of hundreds of thousands of be
ingS not fit to live"
"Order" No Excuse.
These few examples, the Pope
said, "show what class of crimes
ought to constitute the object of
international agreements"
The pontiff also said the ex-
cuse that "an order was received
from higher authority" could not
exonerate from war crimes. He
asked:
would it be possible to secure
by international agreements that
leaders, on the one hand, be
rendered juridically incapable of
ordering crimes and (be) punish
able before the law if they do
so; on the other, that Subordin-
ates be dispensed from executing
such orders, and punishable in
the law if they obey them?"
The Pope said the moral
principle involved is absolutely
clear: No higher authority can
validly command an immoral
act. There exists no right, no
obligation, no permission to ac-
complish an act, evil in itself,
even II 1t is ordered, and even If
the refusal to do the act involves
the worst personal damages"

will give us the factual basis for

The project will be a departure
for the Brookings Institution,
which previously has concen-
trated on economics, government
administration and international
relations. It's president, Robert

marks the beginning of a new
