Mandate of Good Will
Observed by Warring
And Peaceful Nations
Comment Indicates
Widespread Support
Of Taylor Mission
By the Associated Press.
Large areas of the world in arms
as well as nations at peace last
night observed, as well as they
might, the mandate of the Prince
of Peace to all men of good will.
The French communique said
merely: "Nothing to report.”
The German: ‘'On the west front,
a quiet day.”
Fighting Finns, beset by a foe that
recognizes no Christmas, continued
to drive Russians back to their own
border.
Japanese said a Chinese winter
offensive had been crushed and
16,500 Chinese slain.
But peace found its staunchest
champions in Vatican City and in
Washington. The Pope and Presi
dent Roosevelt developed further
their crusade against war in their
Christmas greetings.
Pius XII urged belligerent nations
to begin considering their war aims
and their projects for establishment
of better order at the war's end.
Taylor Calls Mission "Inspiring.”
President Roosevelt, who had ap
pointed Myron C. Taylbr his per
sonal representative to the Vatican
to promote peace, stressed that sub
ject in lighting the national Christ
mas tree.
Mr. Taylor, former head of the
United States Steel Corp., phi
lanthropist and one of the Presi
dent's oldest Wall Street support- [
ers, described his peace mission as !
"most inspiring" and added that
“no cause could find any one of us
more willing to serve to the utmost
of his ability.”
The first response to Mr. Taylor's j
mission indicated widespread sup
port of the President's peace moves. [
Typical of comments were:
Archbishop Francis J. Spellman,
New’ York: “It is opportune that
on the vigil of the anniversary of
the birth of the Prince of Peace, the
President of the United States
should take this action for peace.”
George A. Buttrick. president of
the Federal Council of Churches of
Christ in America, New York: “We
share the President's confidence
that men and women in every land
have a basic faith in God and
therefore in human brotherhood,
and that even in the present chaos
and darkness they are preparing a
better day.”
Hopes for Unanimous Support.
Rabbi Cyrus Adler, president of
the Jewish Theological Seminary of
America, Philadelphia: "It is a
noble deed to bring the forces of
religion together. I have the con
fident hope that the leaders will
unite the members of their churches
and synagogues into a unanimous
support of the President's efforts.”
Miss Mary C. Duffy, Supreme
Court regent of the Catholic
Daughters of America, New York:
"The appointment should gladden
the hearts of all Americans who are
anxious to see an end to the present '
European conflict.”
Senator Borah, Republican, of
Idaho: “I support the principles an
nounced. and I shall support them
when I come to vote on these huge,
and to my mind, unnecessary arma
ment bills.”
Representative Bloom, Democrat,
of New York: "It is one of the most
outstanding things done up to now
by any one to try arid bring peace
into the world.”
Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada: "It is one of the finest
things this country has done for a
long time.”
Appointment Praised.
Right Rev. Cameron J. Davis.
Episcopal Bishop of Western New
York, Buffalo: "President Roose
velt’s appointment of Myron C. Tay
lor is exceedingly good.”
Dr Burris Jenkins, Community
Church, Kansas City, Mo.: “This
gesture ought to have influence in
Europe, and our sympathies and
prayers should go with the new
emissary.”
Dr. F. W. Starring, executive sec
retary of the Oregon State Baptist
Convention, dissented from the ear
liest opinions received. He said:
"If it, as it seems to me, means rec
ognition of the political power of
the Vatican. I regret the appoint
ment. I believe in complete sepa
ration of church and state.”
Clifford P. Morehouse, editor of
the Living Church, Episcopalian
publication, Milwaukee, Wis.: “I am
confident that this forward step,
which is in harmony with the mes
U|« of Christmas, will receive the
hearty Indorsement of religioils
mlnded Americans—not only of
Roman Catholics, but of Catholic
churchmen not only of the Roman
obedience, Protestants and Jews as
well.”
Peace, recently rare in the land
of the N*' pervaded Bethle
hem. P'is : r., time in three
years pi* sniped in the now
demilitarize'* theater where the
Christ Child, Mary, the wise men
and shepherds took part in the
drama that was to live and grow
in the hearts of mankind for 2,000
years.
Along the western front the
world’s great names mingled with
men in arms.
Hitler Gathers With Soldiers.
Hitler and his high command
gathered with soldiers near the West
Wall in a small hall decorated with
evergreens. German communities
dipped into their slender rations to
send soldier boys sausages, nuts,
gingerbread, chocolate and ciga
rettes. Churches were crowded and
communities outdid one another in
supplying home talent for the front
fighters.
French and British troops behind
the Maginot Line worshiped in
their churches and field chapels in
which altars of pine wood had been
erected. Premier Daladler addressed
the nation in a Christmas broad
cast.
Across the numerous no-man’s
lands came carols in all the lan
guages of the belligerents.
London, saddened by the disrup
tion of families, variously went to
church and ‘‘muddled through’’ the
holy night with all the gaiety it
could enforce.
Ih the waters of the world the
American Navy, alone of'the world's
powerful sea forces, celebrated
Heaping dinners and entertainment
for sailors and their guests—many
of them children—was the order
of the day.
All America wept—for Scrooge
But they were happy tears.
Opposes Diplomatic Relations.
Bishop Paul B. Kern of the Meth
odist Church told reporters at Nash
ville:
‘‘If the appointment of Mr. Taylor
is intended as a means of working
for the amelioration of world con
ditions I am in sympathy with it. i
However, if it is the first step in
opening diplomatic relations with
the Vatican, which I regard only
as a nominal state, I am opposed
•to it."
Mr. Roosevelt wrote the Pope
that the time would surely come
i
when spiritual and civil leaders
could “move forward on a specific
plan to terminate destruction and
build anew." He made it clear he
had no specific program to end the
European War.
