Humanity speaking, it
was rather sad that
Cardinal Stritch had to
die in Rome, 5000 miles
awaE from his own arch
diocese.
Much as he loved the
the Eternal City, where he
had studied for the priest
hood he loved Chicago even
more.
He had lived in Chicago
longer than any other place
and must have anticipated dy-
ing thsrs surrounded by his
spiritual SONS and daughters.
eonsoIed by their loving care
ard solicitvde.
From another point Of view,
however, il was appropriate
that the Angel of Death, when
dispatched Unexpectedly by
the merciful God Who orders
'all things sweetly," should
have found His Eminence at
the very center of Christen-
DOM
Presumably il was in Rome,
during his student days, that
he began to acquire the supra
national outlook and interests
which in later years made him
the logical choice as the first
Chairman of the American
Bishops Special Committee to
Promote the Pope's Peace
Plan.
Over the years, az he de-
veloped and deepened his
knowledge and understanding
of the Christian principles of
peace, il was TO the Bishop of
Rome, the Vicar OF Christ on
earth, that he constantly look
ed for inspiration and for
guidance.
n was then providentislIy
Htfins that he should have
ended his days In the shadow
Of the Vatican, which has
done - much 10 promote the
cause OF international peace
and international social jus.
ties.
The Cardinals last public
appearance on the national
scene was on behalf OF a very
worthy cause in the field Of
International relations.
Just few days before his

came 10 Washington TO de-

Invocation was m~ssterfvl
summary Of the Christian
principles OF peace and . fit
ting climax TO the Cardinals
distinguished career as the
leading spokesman Of the
American hierarchy in the
field of international rela-
lions.
Nobody even suspected at
the time that this was to be
the Cardinals swan song as
Chairman of the Bishops
Peace Committee. On the con-
trary, those 9f us who were
with him during his two days
in Washington got the impress
sion that he was in the best
of health.
Moreover, he made il very
clear, in . business converse

the NcWc staff, that. when
he took up his new assign

intention Of continuing. II not

That was at the end OF Feb

later we are mourning his i'm

teristically, he joyfully accept
ed with tranquil resignation

We have lost a great spirit

greatest leader the American
hierarchy has ever known in
the field Of international re-
iations.
The Cardinal was intensely
. proud Of his own country and
never hesitated TO say so pub
licly when the proper occa-
sion presented itself. But
there was nothing of the jim

him. He was a true interna-

the word.

be received with "slI possible

The Papal Secretary of
State, Cardinal Rampolla, re-
piled that the Holy Father en-
tertained a special regard for
the United States Government
and that he would comply
with the request for the loan
of the documents.
Cardinal Rampolla added
that Pope Leo XIII had decid-
ed to be represented at the

half Of II. Now II appears inn
possible 10 finish the pledge
because Of our changed finsn-

What are we bound in con-
science TO do?
A. In the circumstances it
would seem perfectly proper
to write a note to the church
or charity concerned and dx-
plain the situation. While lit
is important for each Catho-
lie to dc what he can to sup
port his parish church and

is bound to the impossible. If

WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON A
brief not in a new Gov
eminent document serves
to recall the occasion of
the first Apostolic Dele
gate coming to the Unit
ed States.
The document is a pamphlet
sketching the extensive OPP
erations of the US. Depart
ment of State in its effort to
maintain friendly relat i o n $
with other countries. 1t says
that the present Secretary OF
State. John Foster Dulles, is
the third member of his fam
lily to hold that office. His
grandfather, John w. Foster,
and an uncle. Robert Lansing,
held that cabinet post before
him.
In September, 1892, Secre-
tary of State Foster wrote to
the Vatican, asking Pope Leo
XIII for the loan of some
docp1ments preserved in the
Vatit Jan archives. There were
maps and other papers relat-
ing " the discovery of Ameri-
ca BIZ Christopher Columbus.
Secretary Foster said the
United States Government was
anxious to exhibit these docu-
ments at the Columbian Expo
sition at Chicago in 1898.
He said President Benjamin

share our material ABUNDANCE
with the poorer nations Of the
world and he repeatedly en-
phssized "the urgency Of our
Isboring without eeasing for
the organization of inter
national society under Just
laws, which will offer help to
the weak and restrain the
strong among the nations and
peoples"
1t was his fervent prayer
in the words of his February
Invocation - that the United
States, whose traditions he
knew so well and so deeply
respected. would live up to its
grave obligation OF being the
protagonist of genuine peace
and the unselfish, active de-
fender of the dignity and
rights of the human person."
In calling attention to Car
dinal Stritch's many contribu-
tons to the cause of inter-
national peace and interna-
tional understanding, / am
merely echoing what distin-
guished leaders of Church and
State - Cardinal Mooney, for
example, and Vice President
Nixon have already said
about His Eminence in state
ments released Immediately
after his death.
I would like TO add a per-
sonal word of gratitude for
the constant encouragement
His Eminence gave to me, per-
sonally. and to my associates
in the Catholic Association for
International Peace. To this |
would attach a personal word
of admiration for his initia-
tive and foresight, as Chair
man of the Bishops Peace
Committee, in establishing the
NCWC Office for UN Affairs,
which will surely 60 down in
the history of American Ca
tholicism as one of his most
significant accomplishments.
May the Prince of Peace be-
stow upon him in heaven the
reward which He Himself has
promised to those who devote
themselves to the establish
ment of peace on earth h.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called the
children of God"
