THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...'
“ How do you feel about this idea of stopping
’em from selling liquor anywhere near army
camps, Judge?”
“I was just talking about that with Will
down at the barber shop about ten minutes
ago. Tell you what I told him, Ned. I say it’s
up to the Army to decide. Why should we
walk in and tell the Army how to do its job
...any more than i should tell you how to go
about puttingout a fire ? And here’s something
that strikes me funny. All this worrying
•' eras to be about the boys’ conduct around
e camps here in this country. You never
ar a word of worrying about them drink-
ing when they go abroad. Kind of queer,
isn’t it, Ned?”

POPE PIUS—
(Continued from page 1)
tions of the world, but internal
peace,” he added. “Inside each
nation there must be unity and
love.”
Must Aim to Serve
The pope said he could not con-
ceal his deep, impartial love for
the Italian people.
Earlier he stated his speech
would be devoted to “the internal
policy of all nations and peoples,
without taking sides.”
“Order and security must in-
spire confidence of the peoples,”
he said. “The aim must be not to
dominate but to serve.”
Turning to another point, he
said “The church cannot ignore
the fact that the worker is still
fighting against some machinery
which is not a natural obstacle,
but an obstacle erected by other
human beings. The worker must
be assured of some private prop-
erty, especially a father with a
big family.”
He declared the church must
fight against these barriers, ap-
pealing to a better society and an
end to “this very period of an-
guish.”
“The way will be long,” he
said. “The way will be hard, but
there are five milestones.”
The pope added that the exist-
ing rules should not be changed
by internal revolutions, but that
the state should adhere strictly
to rules protecting the individual
“Whoever wants peace must
put himself at the service of so-
ciety and fight for peace.
Rules Violations Deplored
“What about the numerous vi-
olations of international rules
and agreements?
“What about the disrespect of
agreements with reference to the
fighting man in the battle areas,
prisoners of war, occupation of
territory, all of which have been
carried out in several places and
several times with the utmost
brutality? —;
“What are the peoples of the
world going to do about this?
“Will not the people and those
who desire peace and respect do
something to create a better
world on the wreckage of this
present social order which has
shown itself impotent to preserve
peace, respect and dignity?
“Will not the people do their
utmost and never rest until so-
ciety is guided back again to the
respect of all rules?
Aerial Warfare Denounced
“My blessing goes out to all
those who, like the crusaders,
will fight for this and for a bet-
ter Christian world.”
At one point in his address the
pope said “Today the greater part
of humanity bears responsibility
for the errors and damage done.
The dead impose upon mankind
the duty of vowing for the
achievement of salvation.
“The victims of aerial attacks
impose upon mankind this vow.
We have many times from the
beginning of the war denounced
aerial warfare.”
