cardinals, archbishops snd blohops have
united In an appeal to Pope Penedlct
for the Vatican to abandon the attitude,
of neutrality It has maintained since the
beginning of ths war. They say thsy
cannot understand how the head of a
church which la founded on principles of
right and justice ran remain neutral
without protesting at the same time
against those who violate written or un
written laws. The pontiff Is urged to as
sume an attitude which would be epoch
making In the history of the papacy.
Cardinal Mercler, archbishop of Mallnee:
Cardinal Amette. archblnhop of Paris,
aqd other members of the sacred college
have snr memorandums to the pope In
sisting that such an opportunity may'
never occur again for the church to show
that it stsnds above political considera
tions, caring only for the morsl and re
ligious Interests of its people. V
The memorandum presented to the pope
says; "Now is the moment to put into
practice the result of those studies as
Catholics, and even a certain number of
Protestants look to the pope aa the nat
ural defender of Christian morally, de
manding guidance In matters so con
nected with modem civilisation which Is
the outcome of Christian teaching. . The
ponCff as the supreme pastor of Catho
lics throughout the world has ths right
to Isy down moral principles which
should govern alt Christian nations In
their reciprocal relations.
'Injustice Is no more morally right for
a nation than for an Individual and Its
perpetrator la condemned by all Chris
tian principle Theologians denounce as
a pagan error the' assertion that "might
Is right,' or that the right to wage war

till when a stronger country fights from
a desire for conquest or demands a great
indemnity. This, after the killing of
thousands. Is called by St. Augustine
brigandage," necessitating a league ef
honest, peace loving nations.
"Christian theologians call such wars
thefts and also teach that the Injustice
which war seeks to' redress must be cer
tain and evident. War Is morally wrong
when In vindication or probable or doubt
ful rights."
After citing authorities wtio condemn
the unnecessary destruction of life and
property, recommending love even be
tween enemies and ordering that nnn
combatants be spared, the memorandum
closes with this statement:
"International laws and conventions
are expressions of legitimate considera
tion. The Hague convention of 1107 gives
