London, Dec 5. Cardinal Bourne,
archbishop of Westminster, has com

the papal secretary of state, answer
ing the Post's Recusation that the
Vatican was implicated in disamtive
propaganda in Italy and is unneutral.

and savs that the hierarrhv anA rtu

praise from the Italian parliament and
government. The cardinal adds that
the clergy generally, and the army
chaplains particularly, have been la

aganda which had been begun and was
reported to be. giving unre9t to 'the
